‘Abd al-Muttalib was right. Every
day,
Nabi
Muhammad [s] is praised
by millions of people all over the
earth and by the angels in the high-
est Heavens.
Some time before the blessed
Prophet Muhammad’s [s] birth,
believers had prayed for a prophet
to come, and there had been signs
that Allah had heard their prayers.
Jewish and Christian scriptures told
of a prophet that was to come.
On the night of the Prophet’s birth a
light rose in Makkah that was seen
as far away as Syria, which lay hun-
dreds and hundreds of kilometers
away. A learned Jew in Yathrib also
saw a brilliant star he had never
seen before. He called people
together around him and, pointing
to the star, told them that a Prophet
must have been born.
Word spread quickly.
