    The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born in the city of Makkah, which is located in present day Saudi Arabia. It is said that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born in a chosen place which is commonly known as “Baytullah” (the house of Allah).

    Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) date of birth is generally accepted to be Monday 12th Rabiul Awwal. Even some Islamic sects believe that 12th Rabiul Awwal is not the right date of birth. But now 12th Rabiul Awwal is celebrated across the world as Eid Milad-un-Nabi (The Prophet’s Birth). Which marks the birthday celebration of The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

    At the time of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) birth, there were very few people living around Makkah. But this small town became popular not only in Arabia but also globally due to its religious attachment with Islam and its deep history dating back to thousands of years before Islam.

    Canonization

    Canonization  refers to the process of recognizing certain texts or teachings as authoritative and binding for a particular religious tradition. In Islam, the canonization process involved the recognition and compilation of the Quran as the central scripture of the faith.

    The process of canonization in Islam

    The process of canonization in Islam began during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet received revelations from God over a period of 23 years, and he transmitted these revelations to his companions, who memorized them and wrote them down on various materials such as palm leaves, animal skins, and pieces of bone. The Prophet also designated certain individuals to act as scribes and to write down the revelations as he received them.

    After the death of the Prophet, his companions continued to transmit and memorize the Quran, and it became the primary source of Islamic teachings and practices. During the reign of the third caliph, Uthman, a standardized version of the Quran was compiled and distributed to the various regions of the Islamic empire, in order to ensure its preservation and prevent any discrepancies in the various recitations that had developed over time.

    The process of canonization in Islam was different from that of other religions, such as Christianity, where canonization involved the selection of certain texts from among many competing works. In Islam, the canonization process was based on the belief that the Quran was directly revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad, and therefore it was considered to be the definitive and final word of God.

    In addition to the Quran, other sources of Islamic teachings and practices developed over time, including the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) and the Sunnah (the way of life and example of the Prophet). These sources were compiled and codified over several centuries, and their authenticity and reliability were carefully scrutinized by Islamic scholars. While these sources are considered to be authoritative in Islam, they are considered secondary to the Quran in terms of their status as sources of religious authority.

    Hazrat Adam and his wife Hazrat Hawa were seduced and deceived by Iblis and ate the fruit of this forbidden tree. And consider this work as a means of nearness to God
    This tree was a well-known and defined tree among the trees of Paradise, Hazrat Adam was also aware of it, so there is no benefit in trying to determine it
    If Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) forgot to eat the fruit of this tree
    And this is right, because it was mentioned in the Holy Quran that if you forgot to eat, then going to eat by forgetting is not a violation, but an error of ijtihad.

    There are many sayings about the tree that Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat, the famous one is that it was wheat, one is about grapes, and there are also other sayings about figs, camphor, etc. But this tree is not defined by the Holy Quran and its determination is not mentioned in any authentic hadith, so according to the commentators, the best explanation is that what the Quran and hadith have left ambiguous, there is no need to define it. Rather, Allah knows best which tree it was. Also, no action or success of ours is suspended on the determination of this tree, therefore we are not obliged to do this effort. The aspects that are useful for our advice and guidance in the stories of the Prophets, peace be upon them, have been described in the Holy Quran.
