The Night of the Nativity

It is the twenty-fourth night of December, which is the end of the Roman year, falling within the last ten days of the month. Because the Lord Christ (Al-Masih), may His Might be exalted, manifested the Birth on this night from the Lady Virgin Mary, the daughter of Imran, the Pure and Chaste. Allah the Almighty mentioned her in His Aziz Book and revealed her virtue in His saying: "And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants)."

And she is, in the Muhammadan Dome (Al-Qubba Al-Muhammadiyya), Amina bint Wahb, the mother of the Lord Muhammad. Some brethren of the Sect mentioned that she is Fatir (Fatimah), peace be upon her mention, because the Lord Muhammad, may His Might be exalted, said to her as she approached him: "Welcome, welcome to the mother of her father, enter." However, the Messenger only indicated her with this saying because she is the mother of the three 'Ha's': Al-Hasan, Al-Husayn, and Muhsin. But the mother of the Lord Muhammad was none other than Amina bint Wahb, for she was, in the Messianic Dome (Al-Qubba Al-Masihiyya), Maryam.
