From Author: 

"This is a brief and concise treatise surrounding the reality of the testimony that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allāh. We saw fit to spread it amongst the people due to the need for it. Rather, we see it as a necessity due to what we have witnessed of ignorance from many of the Muslims, let alone others besides them, about the reality of the testimony that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. We have seen them fall into that which opposes and contradicts this testimony, or in some cases, that which opposes its completion, or that which detracts from the servant’s belief in it.I ask Allāh the Exalted, the All-Capable: to bestow upon us guidance to what is correct, and success in attaining the truth and correctness, that He inspires us to right guidance and protects us from the evil of our own selves and that He shows us the truth as truth and allows us to follow it and that He shows us falsehood as falsehood and allows us to avoid it and that He rectifies for us our intention and deed and that He allows all those who peruse it to benefit through what has been documented in this treatise and that He makes us and our Muslim brothers cooperate upon righteousness and piety."

CONCLUSION

THE BIRTH OF THE PROPHET() The Prophet () was born in the year of the elephant, with no
dispute that we know of amongst the biographers.
He was definitely born on a Monday due to his (a) reply when he was asked about why he fasted on Mondays. He said, "That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I was sent, or the Revelation was sent down to me." It is related by Muslim from the hadith of Qatadah
( رَضِعَ اللهُ عَنْهُ)
As for the month of his () birth and its history, then there is some disagreement about it. So it is said that he was born on the twelfth of Rabi al-Awwal, and it is said that it was on the eighth of that month. Others say he was born in Ramadan, and some say he was born on the twenty seventh
of Rajab; and this is the least likely of the views.
THE SENDING OF THE PROPHET ()
evelation was sent down to him when he was forty years of age. The RRevelation first began coming to him when he had secluded himself in the cave of Hira' for seclusion. During one such occasion, the Angel Jibril
( عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ)
came to him and completely enveloped him and then
declared him a Messenger. So Jibril said, "Read..." to the end of the hadith. So this was the beginning of his () affair.
From Aishah () who said, "The first time that the Revelation started to come down to the Messenger of Allah (), it came in the form of a good dream during sleep that came true like bright daylight. Then, the act of seclusion was made beloved to him, so he used to seclude himself in the cave of Hira and worship (Allah alone) in it. He would worship for several days before he would leave to return to his family and he would take provisions. He would return back to Khadijah for more provisions and leave again, up until the truth came to him in the cave of Hira'. An Angel came to him and said, "Read." He replied, "I do not know how to read." He said: He took me and pressed me hard until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said, "Read." I replied, "I do not know how to read." He took me and pressed me hard a second time up until I could no longer bear it. Then he released me and said, "Read." I replied, "I do not know how to read." He took me and pressed me hard a third time. Then he released me and said,

This is a brief and concise treatise surrounding the reality of the testimony that Muhammad() is the Messenger of Allah. We saw fit to spread it amongst the people due to the need for it. Rather, we see it as a necessity due to what we have witnessed of ignorance from many of the Muslims, let alone others besides them, about the reality of the testimony that Muhammad () is the Messenger of Allah.

I ask Allah the Exalted, the All-Capable: to bestow upon us guidance to what is correct, and success in attaining the truth and correctness, that He inspires us to right guidance and protects us from the evil of our own selves and that He shows us the truth as truth and allows us to follow it and that He shows us falsehood as falsehood and allows us to avoid it and that He rectifies for us our intention and deed and that He allows all those who peruse it to benefit through what has been documented in this treatise and that He makes us and our Muslim brothers cooperate upon righteousness and piety.
