During her pregnancy, Amina dreamt that a light emerged from her body and illuminated the palaces of Syria. In another dream she was told that she carried in her womb the Chief of the Ummat. When he is born she should name him Muhammad (SAW). A tradition quoted by Ibn-i-Sa'ad says that in her dream she was ordained to name her child Ahmad.
- The Auspicious Birth
The episode of the Ashab-i-Fil took place in the month of Muharram. Fifty days after this event the Holy Prophet (SAW) was born at dawn on Monday in the renowned Arabian City of Makkah al-Muzzama on 9 Rabi-ul-Awwal' (or according to the popular opinion 12 Rabi-ul-Awwalz) corresponding to 2 April, 571 A.D.
Auspicious are his prominent virtues, first and last. All his virtues were manifest on the day of birth. The turrets of Kisra's palace fell. They had to fall. The loyalist had to renounce their loyalty to kings.
