On the night when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was born, there was an earthquake in the land of Persia. The king of Persia was known as Chosroes, and he and his people would worship fire instead of Allah Ta‘ala. Because of this earthquake, all fourteen towers in the palace of Chosroes fell down and collapsed! Also, the Persians had a special fire in their temple. This fire was burning for one thousand years, and they would worship this fire. However, on that night, when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was born, this fire went off on its own! Finally, there was a lake named Lake Saawah. All of a sudden, this lake became dry and had no water left!

All these things which happened on that night were actually signs that the religion of worshipping fires was going to come to an end, as Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was now born and the Deen of Islam was coming to put an end to all the wrong religions.

The next morning, when the Persian king, Chosroes, woke up and learnt that the fire had gone out, and the towers of his palace had all fallen down, he became very, very worried. Then, one of his priests stood in front of him and said, “I had a dream last night. In my dream, I saw powerful camels pulling some Arabian horses. I then saw them crossing over the Tigris River and spreading to every country in the world.” When Chosroes asked the priest what this dream meant, he replied, “It seems like something very important will happen, and it will come from the land of Arabia.”

Chosroes was worried. He wanted to know why all these things were happening, and what the dream meant. So, he asked a very learned person to answer his questions. The learned person explained to him that all these things that had happened were signs that the land of Syria was going to change very soon. Just a few men and women from the Persians, equal to the number of pillars, will rule for a few years, and after that, the Persians will not rule anymore.

When Chosroes heard that there would only be fourteen more Persian kings, and then Islam would spread and the Persians would not be kings anymore, he thought that this will take along time to happen. However, in the time when Sayyiduna ‘Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was the ruler of the Muslims, the Persian kingdom came to an end.

These were some of the important things that happened when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was born, and these were signs that soon, the religion of Islam would spread through the whole world.
