His heart trembled. Aminah was very confident that the baby she was carrying was not an ordinary baby, because since she was pregnant she did not feel any difficulty, did not feel the weight of how other pregnant women. What he feels is precisely calm and peace. Her husband, Abdullah, has died since the baby was 2 months in the womb.

But instead of being happy and touched to welcome the birth of the baby, they were even worried because the sign had hinted that the last Prophet was not born from Nasab Bani Israel but from the descendants of Ismail from the Arabs.

In her very simple little house, Aminah looked at her daughter with teary eyes, full of emotion and hoping for a mother. He felt that his life would not be long, and he also felt that he would leave the baby at an early age. However, he knew that it was God who would look after the baby. With a soft voice he whispered

“My child, you are the belief of God. You are born with light, mercy, and hope for the world. May Allah always take care of you.”

That night was the beginning of a new history. What has been born to an orphan will change the face of the world with the teachings of monotheism. He is Muhammad bin Abdullah, carrier of mercy for the whole world. God has prepared the signs of his birth so that there is no more noble birth than the birth of a last prophet who will unite people under the auspices of the light of Islam. Allahumma Sholli ‘ala Sayyidina wa Maumana Muhammad.
