About the Book

The Quenching Source on the Birth of the Prophet (al-Mawrid al-rawi fi Mawlid al-Nabi) is a small work on the Prophetic Nativity — the Mawlid — written by the Afghan polymath Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari. The Quenching Source discusses the history and ruling on celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace), and presents a detailed account of the Prophet’s lineage, his parents, gestation, birth, early childhood, marriage, and prophetic mission. Included within this work are detailed footnotes from the translator discussing the faith of the Prophet’s parents, ‘Abdullah and Amina, and the faith of his grandfather ‘Abd al-Muttalib. The Quenching Source is an excellent resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of the Prophet’s immense rank, his family line, his miraculous birth, early life, and how the Mawlid has historically been celebrated throughout the Muslim world.
