Good Deeds to Do In These 12 Days- Mawlid/Milad Un Nabi of the Holy Prophet [Peace Be Upon Him]

The Blessed Month of Milad Un Nabi Mubaarak

Let us celebrate the
Important Day of our Beloved Holy Prophet

صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

with immense love
and devotion. 

Certainly, it is the
blessing of Allaah Kareem that we are in the

Ummah of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad

صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

His Ummah is
superior to all other Ummahs and is called Khairul Umam (Best of Nations).

We are the torchbearers
of the Holy Quran.

Our Deen, Islam, is
a complete and total way of life chosen by Allaah Kareem Himself.

We have unlimited
Bounties. But remember, all these are through the Intercession [Waseelah]
of His beloved Prophet

and through his
intercession we will gain salvation.

Preparing for Milad-Un-Nabi

On the eve of the
12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal, take a bath, if possible, wear new or clean clothes, and
use perfume.

After Iesha  Salaah
perform Khatam-ul-Quran, listen to Zikr-e-Rasool, give hearing to the Ulema
who will talk on the Holy Prophet Muhammad

 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

For the rest of the
night read Durood as much as possible. Also read Nafil Salah.

Make Du’a for
yourself, and everybody all through the Intercession of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

After Fajr Salaah,
during the whole day, wherever we meet our Muslim brothers, greet them, and
bless them.

Promote love and
goodwill by embracing each other. On this day, giving charity on behalf of the
Holy Prophet

صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

and to invite each
other and to accept invitation of each other are all acts of virtue.

Fast on this day as
this is the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad

 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

 Hazrat Imaam Malik the famous Islaamic Scholar
has stated that the

Milaad of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] is superior to Laila tul
Qadr, because on the Night of Qadr the Holy Quran was revealed and during this
night, the Personality who introduced the Quran was born.

While celebrating Milaad-un-Nabi صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

along with these
aforementioned good deeds, make an effort to act upon the following suggestions
as well during this whole month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, especially from 1st
Rabi-ul-Awwal to 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal (In shaa Allah). 

1. In every Sunni
Masjid and in every Sunni house recite either 12 Parts (Paras), or 12 Chapters
(Surah), or 12 portions of Quraanic chapter of the holy Quraan every day. 

2. Send peace and
salutations (Durood-o-Salaam) on the holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as much as possible.

3. Keep a voluntary
(Nafil) fast on Monday. Once when the holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

was asked about
fasting on a Monday, said, “I keep fast on this day because I was born on
this day, and the first revelation which came to me was on a Monday”. 

4. According to your
capacity feed a few poor and needy people.

5. Pay the expenses
for a poor person’s wedding or arrange clothes or some other necessities of
life for any helpless widow or person. 

6. Pay the expenses
for a poor and deserving student’s education or pay expenses of at least one
child in a religious school (Deeni Madrasah) until he becomes a true religious
scholar (Aalim-e-Deen).

7. Make arrangements
for any poor patient’s medicine, or at least visit a sick person in your
neighborhood or family.

8. Due to any
worldly reason if anyone’s relation is broken with any relative or Muslim
brother then in rejoicing Eid Milad-un-Nabi 

صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم

try to be the first
to reconnect. 

9. If we have any
religious, social, or human rights of anyone on us, then on this happiest
occasion of Eid Milaad-un-Nabi 

 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 

we should try to do
our best to fulfill it.

10. If a needy
person has taken loan from us, then just for  Almighty Allaah and His Beloved’s pleasure
and for their sake, according to your ability and capacity, either forgive the
entire loan or some portion of the loan, or at least increase the returning
time of the loan.
