Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) blessed the universe with his birth on the 12th of this month. Therefore, the twelfth of Rabi‘ al-Awwal is the night of Waladat (Mawlid), a sacred night in the Hijri Calendar.
During this month, Muslims should engage in reciting Salawat (Durud) Sharif, such as Salat al-Nariyyah, Salat al-Munjiyah and Salat al-Fathiya as many times as possible.
To take full advantage of the spiritual benefits of this night, one should perform Tasbih Salah and Khatim al-Anbiya.
The intention for Tasbih Salah should be as follows: “O Allah! I intend to pray Tasbih Salah for your sake only. O Allah, in honour of your beloved whom you sent to enlighten the world, the crown of our heads, our Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, grant me your forgiveness and grace. Allahu Akbar.”
