The personality of the Holy Prophet is one that is second to none in the entire world. The majestic signs of Almighty God can be seen in all periods of the Prophet’s life, even during the time of his birth. We are celebrating the Prophet’s birth today. The signs and effects of these diving blessings, which culminate in the Bi'tha, can be observed by humanity even on the day of the Holy Prophet’s birth. One can also witness some practical signs of tawhid on his birthday. The events that took place include: the idols inside the Kaaba fell down, the confrontation with the tyrant idols and the great tyrants of humanity during that time, the drying up of that holy lake, the extinguishment of the so-called holy fire in the fire temple and the collapse of Taq-e Kasra [The Arch of Ctesiphon]. Therefore, this birthday is no ordinary day. It is a very important day. It is a very big day. We celebrate this day because of this occasion. An important point to note is that celebrating this day as a day of Eid, is not just about celebrations and commemorations and things like that. We celebrate in order to learn something. We celebrate it to establish the Holy Prophet as a role model.
