you not but a mercy for all the worlds"(S21:V107)

QUR'AAN ie. in Ramadaan, and during the birth of the Holy Prophet is an

bounty and mercy of Allah Almighty. This joy is indeed gratitude to Allah
Almighty for His blessings and bounties.

because it is an act of worship for which innumerable rewards would be
given.
