Prophet Muhammad [sallallahu alayhi wa sallam] was born in Mecca, which was considered the homeland of the Adnanids, on Monday, April 20, 571, after the Incident of the Elephant (according to another narration, in the year 569).
On the blessed night when the Messenger of Allah [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ] came into the world, several extraordinary events took place. Some of these miracles are as follows:
- According to Amina, she did not experience any difficulty during pregnancy or childbirth.
- When the Messenger of Allah [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ] was born, she saw a light emerge from her that illuminated the space between the east and west.
- The Prophet was born clean, supporting himself with his hands on the ground while raising his head toward the sky.
- At that moment, Satan let out the greatest scream he had ever made in his life.
- The chief priest and religious leader of Persia, Mubedhan, saw in a dream that wild camels were driving a herd of horses across the Tigris River and spreading into Persian lands.
- The Valley of Samawa was flooded.
- Fourteen pillars of Kisra’s palace collapsed.
- The fire in the Persian temples, which had burned continuously for a thousand years, was extinguished.
