Introduction of the group of [email protected]

All members of our group [email protected] are very much expert of

Astronomy or very much interested in it, so never think that you are sending an email to a group

of both common and proper persons, they all are VIPs of astronomy. Yes Br Odeh & Br Khalid

Shaukat are not a part of this group, while Yallop, Dr Shahid , Dr Abdali etc are also in this group.

It is another issue that they usually don’t participate in discussions due to their social activities as

many recipients of current discussion are not taking part in discussion.

Dear Dr Abdurrazzaq (+ other)

Assalamo Alaikum

As you proved very nicely that astronomically 12 Rabee-ul-Awwal 11 AH can occur on Monday

as well as can you prove that on the year of the birth of our Holy prophet Muhammad Sallallahon

Alaihi wasallam i.e. on “April 571”, 12 Rabee-ul-Awwal can occur on Monday. Visibility curves

for “April 571” are attached.

Dear All,

Assalamualaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-barakatuh.

If you accept that New Moon was on Friday 10/4/571 20:56 UT, then the Hilal would

have been sighted on Saturday 11/4/571 and hence 1 Rabi-ul-Awwal was on Sunday

12/4/571. Therefore 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal cannot be on a Monday. According to Maulana

Samiruddin Qasmi (Manchester, UK), Muslim historians do not agree on this date to be

either a Monday or 12th - but just a tradition for celebrations of Mawlid-un-Nabi (see

details below). Please correct me if you think I am wrong.

Wassalam,

Some Muslims celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in this

month (Mawlid-un-Nabi) . There are no authentic evidences from the Seerah or the Sahabah

(companions) of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) for doing this

practice. Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have said not to

Page 4: Date of Birth of our prophet sallallaho alahi wasallam

unduly praise him like the Christians exaggerated over Isa (alayhis salam), son of Mariam

(Bukhari). However, if it is unavoidable, it should be done without fixing the same date in all

occasions (as practised by the Christians).

Wa alaikumus salam wa rahmatullah,

You cannot relate any Gregorian date with Islamic dates before Hijri calendar began. Because

there was the practice of Nasi; in Makkah and Medinah in those times, and no one know which

month was added when. Rabi-al-Awwal of that time may not be the Rabi-al-Awwal without Nasi'.

Dear brother Khalid Shaukat & Qamar

Wa alaikumussalam

Actually we prefer 8th Rabee-ul-Awwal as the date of birth of our Holy prophet

Sallallahon Alaihi wasallam. Deatail is underbelow and also attached in English and Urdu for

comments of experts.

This time my question is that 12 Rabee-ul-Awwal can occur on Monday or not? You say

not and brother Khalid shaukat says that we cant say anything due to Nasi’. Well, now I need the

opinions of other experts.

Wassalam

Sultan

Date of birth of the greatest benefactor of humanity, Rasool-e-Akram, Ahmad-e-Mujtaba, Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihe wasallam.

Honorable Ulama-e-Kiram and Astronomers,

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum!

I have written an article on the date of birth of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam. I

would appreciate your expert opinion on it.

Sultan

10the Rabi-ul-Awwal 1429 A.H.

Question: Different people have quoted different dates as the date of birth of Rasoolullah

sallallahu alaihe wasallam. According to your research whose opinion is more to be trusted than

the others? Please let me know.

Answer: About the birth of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam, there is a consensus

of opinion that he was born on Monday and in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. What was the date

on that day? Although Allama Mughaltai has given preference to 2nd Rabi-ul-Awwal but Hazrat

Abdullah bin Abbas and Jubair bin Mut’im Radhiyallaho A’nhum have been quoted as saying

that it was 8th Rabi-ul-Awwal. A majority of muhadditheen and historians believe in the

legitimacy of the latter view.

Page 5: Date of Birth of our prophet sallallaho alahi wasallam

According to absolute data such as the birth of the moon, sunset and moonset, it becomes

certain that in the year Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was born, Monday could have

fallen on the 2nd, 8

th, and 9

th of Rabi-ul-Awwal. However, 12

th Rabi-ul-Awwal simply could not

have been a Monday, Details are given below:

Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam left this world on Rabi-ul-Awwal 11 AH at the

age of 63. Thus if we travel 63 years backwards from Rabi-ul-Awwal 11 AH we find that the

month of Rabi-ul-Awwal will coincide with April 571 A.D

(A record of the time of birth of the moon in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal every year, for 63

years, is given at the end).

On Fri. 10th April 571 A.D. at 10:45 a.m. (Saudi Standard Time) the moon was born. In

Makkah Mukarramah, on the same day i.e. on Fri at 6:32 p.m. (sunset) the crescent was only 8

hrs. 24 min. old and it had set only 12 min. after the sun. According to the ancient and modern

criteria of the possibility of sighting the moon, this crescent could not have been seen in any part

of the world, let alone in Saudi Arabia. Had it been discovered in North America there would still

have been very little chances of its being sighted.

On Sat. 11th April 571 A.D. the crescent’s conditions were so excellent in the evening

that it was capable of being easily sighted in a major part of the inhabited world. Thus if it had

been sighted by the inhabitants of Makkah on that night, the next day i.e. Sunday would have

been 1st Rabi-ul-Awwal and Monday would have been the 2

nd. This would prove Allama

Mughaltai’s (Rahimahullah) research to have been correct.

However ‘capable of being seen’ does not mean that it was ‘definitely’ seen. As, for

example, in this month i.e. Rabi-ul-Awwal 1429 A.H. what happened was that the crescent,

according to numerous criteria, was capable of being easily sighted on Saturday 8th March 2008

in Pakistan. Yet no news of its being sighted in any part of the country was received. Thus

Sunday was declared 30th Safar, and Monday the 1st of Rabi-ul-Awwal. It is therefore entirely

possible that the crescent (of the month Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was born in)

though capable of being sighted on Saturday night was not actually seen at all. Thus 1st Rabi-ul-

Awwal would have fallen on Monday and 8th Rabi-ul-Awwal on next Monday and this is the date

cited by Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, Jubair bin Mut’im radhiyallahu a'nhum and declared

legitimate by a majority of muhadditheen and historians.

Dear Br Sultan Alam,

Salaam,

Greetings; I have always thought and will think of you, as a curious, hard-working and very precise in doing research, as a result of your earlier correspondence.

In the meantime, you have ignored a few earlier discussions, in regards to the onset of the Islamic Lunar Calendar and still you are using a sole source for generating visibility curves, which had a few discrepancies, as brought up in the following previous email, as an example, you may kindly search for other chain emails, in this connection:

Br Mutoha / Br Sultan Alam / Dear All,

Salaam,

Greetings; I hope you might have gone through these chain of emails and helping me, the soonest, on the following subject; with the aid of the soft wares available to you, preparing the where about new moons diagrams on Wednesday, July 14, 622 C.E. and Thursday, July 15, 622 C.E., two days before the onset of the lunar Hijra calendar which began on Muharram 1, 1 A.H., corresponding to Friday, July 16, 622 C.E. in the Western solar calendar commonly in use by many nations of the world.

However, based on the enclosed visibility curves, generated from Accurate Times / ICOP, the onset of the said calendar has been assumed one day earlier, on Thursday, July 15, 622 C.E., based on the assumed expanded criteria of the visibility, anywhere on the planet earth, which could not be acceptable, according to the naked eye visibility, then in practice, in Mecca.

The requested diagrams will help scholars to abandon various sighting methods like aided eye, satellite, CCD, etc., keeping the chronology

Page 11: Date of Birth of our prophet sallallaho alahi wasallam

unchanged through history. Otherwise, with the development of science and technology, one has to shift the dates, and when dating back for each new breakthrough, it will not be ending up to the same beginning date of the Islamic Lunar Hijra Calendar, on Friday, July 16, 622 C.E.!

Best regards,

Mashallah Ali-Ahyaie

I second the comment of Br Khalid, since I had gone through a booklet, published in 1977, in India, long ago and unfortunately I have lost it. The booklet was a result of a Thesis, by Dr. Hashim Amir Ali, Hyderabad, and probably published by Khuda Bakhsh O.P. Library, perhaps in 1977 and entitled "Upstream Downstream Reconstruction of Islamic Chronology".

As a must for any research, one has to carry out a thorough bibliography, so that you my kindly find this source and make a pdf-scan copy out of it for the reference of others and yourself, as far as your recent query is concerned, and also do not rely only on a singe source for generating the visibility curves, until you get sure there are unique results obtained therefrom.

Best regards,

Mashallah

Dear Br Mashaallah

Salaam

1. Thanks for appreciating.

2. I don’t rely on one curve. Result of others like moonc60 is also same, see attachment.

3. I shall try to get a copy of your mentioned article.

4. Once again I say that onset issue should be discussed but separately. Start it if you are

interested but separately not with this recent running issue.

Dear Br Sultan Alam,

Salaam,

Greetings; thanks for your fast feedback. I believe both issues are interconnected, as far as chronology orders are concerned. If you were getting the same curves from all your sources and they absolutely compromise with each other, thus one should end up with the same starting point in all your sources too.

Best regards,

Mashallah

Salaam

Haikal has quoted so many confusing dates and years

that it is almost impossible to revoncile. The majority

agrees on month od Rabi I, and the 3rd month of the lunar

year. The most commonly quoted date is that of Ibn Ishaq:

12 Rabi I

Ibn Hisham's date is also12 Rabi I (Monday) of Aam al-Feel.

Perceval prefers August 570 C.E

I hope you are aware that according to Dr. Hamidullah

the date of birth was:

June 17, 569 (MONDAY)

Ishaq al-Nabi (Nuqush, Rasul #2 p. 470) states it as:

Do Shanbeh, 12 Rabi I, year 53 Before Hijrah

Qadi Sulaiman Mansurpuri calculated (v.2, p.387)

9 Rabi I Year 1 'Aam al-Feel (Do Shanbeh)

April 15, 571

Last year I came accross a valuable book during my visit

to India by a an expert in Hijri Tawqeet. Unfortunately,

I could not get a copy of the book. It had very elngthy

discussion on the date, and evaluated both the Early Muslim

historians and the Orientalists.

JFYI

Deoband Urdu Fatwa in favour of 8th Rabee-ul-awwal

Translation is as follows:

Q. What is the correct date of birth of Nabiyye Akram Sallallaho Alaihe wasallam? What

should we do on that day? Is he conscious of our acts?

A. There are different words about the date of blessed birth. Famous is 12 Rabee-ul-

Awwal but according to the majority of Muhadditheen and historians, the preferable

word is it that Hudhoor Sallallaho Alaihe wasallam was born on 8th Rabee-ul-Awwal.

Following is original Urdu Fatwa

Dear Br. Sultan Alam Sahib,

Salaam

I don't understand your comment:

you cant prefer any day or date, Ok fine.

I sent you the dates of the birth of Prophet (SAW) by several

other scholars.

My preferred date (1971:My book in English) was 8 Rabi I.

In its revised new edition (to come out by the end of this year)

I am leaning to the date calculated by Late Dr. Hamidullah after

reading his arguments, and his book on the life of the Prophet (SAW).

I met him in 1990 (though he could hardly hear) and his grand

niece had to translate his responses for me. Earlier, I met him

in Paris, France in August 1973 on my way to the USA.

Dear Dr Omar

Wa alaikumussalam

Thanks for clarification that you also prefer 8th Rabee-ul-Awwal.

Sultan

Note:2nd part of the research emailing i.e. 12 Rabee-ul-awwal of

the year of death of our prophet sallallaho Alaehi wasallam can

occur on Monday or not? It is available in another paper.
