Asalaamu Alaikum HalalPress bloggers,
The Islamic month of Rabi-Ul-Awwal has officialy begun and as promised HalalPress would like to present to you our first contest.

Rabi’ul-Awwal is one of the most significant months in the Islamic history, because humanity has been blessed in this month by the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam (The twelfth of Rabi-ul-Awwal). Before the birth of the Holy Prophet Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, not only the Arabian peninsula, but also the so-called civilized nations of Rome and Persia were drowned in the darkness of ignorance, superstitions, oppression and unrest. The Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, came with the eternal truth of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah), the only faith which provides a firm basis for the real concepts of knowledge, equity and peace. It was this faith which delivered humanity from ignorance and superstitions and spread the light of true knowledge all over the world. And because of his blessed self, his message still exists today and does not cease to spread all over. Alhumdullilah

Although it is bid’ah to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday, we can definitely honor him. All participants are required to make a post in praise of our Prophet Muhammad sallahu alyhi wassalam. It could be either a poem, an essay or just a story that you find inspiring about him. The deadline for this contest is the last day of Rabi-ul-awwal. Please private message me the link to your post once you have published it.

Last day for submission is the last day of Rabi-Ul-Awwal February 22, 2012/.
Winners will be announced the next day and messaged to give their address to have a prize mailed InshAllah

Spread the word to family and friends and don’t forget to participate!
