The brightest dawn follows the darkest night in this world of living men. Arabia plunged in darkness of evils and superstitions. In such a gloomy age all around the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam) was born as a bright sun on the furmament of human history in the great city of Makkah. Prophecies of his birth are still available in Bible (John: XIV = 15, 16, XVI = 7) and in Books of the old testament as stated by the Holy Quraan (III : 81). The Holy Prophet of Islaam was born during the first year of Aamel Feel (the year of the Elephant's War) on 12th Rabeeull-Awwal; 21st April, 571 A.D, during early morning; before the sun-rise. Slaughter ceremony as thanks-giving to Allah took place on the 7th day. All the Quraysh community was invited to the feast. When people asked what is the name of the child his grand father Abdul Muttalib answered "Muhammad". He was asked as to why the child has been assigned this unique type of virtuous name in deviation of customary names? The reply was "my child should deserve appreciation and praise of the entire world" (and Muhammad means the most praiseworthy).

The Makkah pagans objected that Muhammad Salallaho Alaihi Wasallam should have born to some king. The infidels were critical that Muhammad Sallallahoo Alyhe Wassallam should have born to some chief or king. But Allah says in the Holy Quraan:

"Allah knows best with whom to place His Prophethood." Al-Quraan VI: 125.

Thus Muhammad Bin Abdullah Sallalaho Alaihi Wasallam was His best choice.
