sufferings and his foregiveness for even his bitterest enemies,
and about his leadership, his triumphs through Allah's mercy
over the hearts of men. The 12th of Rabi al Awwal is not the

Verily,
Allah and his angels send peace and blessings upon his
messenger, Believers, bless him and send salutations to him. (Al
Ahzab, 33:56) Perfection of faith is dependent on love of the
Prophet (saaw) because Allah and his angels are constantly
