Secondly, may His blessings and salutations be upon our prophet Muhammad, as

Ladies and gentlemen and my lovely brothers and sisters. This evening we are here
to commemorate the birthday of the great prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him,
and to recall his struggle and fight to spread Islam for the good of all mankind.
Our prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, born on the twelfth day of Rabiul
Awwal. It is the milestone of Islam, the true religion for all mankind throughout the
world, the comprehensive guidance for every men and women in life, and the safe
path for the afterlife. Our prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, born in Mecca,
the city where Muhammad lived the first forty years of his life. Our prophet is
esteemed and honored by his fellow-citizens who gave him the title Al-Amin,
because he was known never to break his promise, or do a mean action, or tell a lie,
or let down a friend. Our prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, always had a
smile for the little children he loved, and a helping hand for those in need.
Ladies and gentlemen and you especially, my brothers and sisters in Islam!
Our prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, felt deeply the degradation of his
people who were sunk in idolatry and superstition, offering human sacrifices, burying
their unwanted female babies alive, and doing other unnamable atrocities. In those
days Muhammad was wont to retire to a lonely cave situated in the barren hills that
surround Mecca, and in this cave he spent long hours and days and even weeks, in
prayer and contemplation, and it was in this cave, the cave of Hiraa, that he first
realized that he was divinely inspired and that he had a message for humanity.
Our prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the greatest prophet and the
greatest legislator the world has ever seen, and for us Muslims to who has
descended the heritage of his example and the glorious Quran, it is for us to follow
in his footsteps and live the life he would have us live, holding to our faith and there
will come a day when Islam helps to heal the wounds of humanity and entire worlds.
