“Interestingly, the Mawlid (Birthday) of the Prophet probably originated from earlier Shiite celebrations of Ali’s birthday. In 1123 CE, the Shiite Fatimid dynasty in Egypt began holding public celebrations of Muhammad’s birthday in which sweets and charity were dispensed to the public,”

“Ibn Hisham found some of the material that Ibn Ishaq included objectionable, such as the story of the Prophet contemplating suicide after his first revelation and the Satanic Verses (see below). He removed such reports as well as the entire first section of the work, which covered the history of the world (from a very Abrahamic point of view) from Adam and Eve until Muhammad’s birth. Ibn Hisham also added his own selection of stories about Muhammad. Nevertheless, modern historians have tried to reconstruct Ibn Ishaq’s original work by locating his reports in other Muslim historical works of the 9th and 10th centuries.”

“ولا يزال في مجتمعنا العربي حتى اليوم عدد غير قليل من هؤلاء الرجال الذين يعارضون خروج المرأة من بيتها للتعلم أو العمل بدعوى المحافظة على أنوثتها أو شرفها، ويتجاهل هؤلاء الرجال تلك الملايين من النساء الفلاحات اللائي يَخرجْن كل يوم من بيوتهن للعمل، وربما اعتقد هؤلاء الرجال أن الفلاحات لسْنَ نساءً، أو أن العتالات والخادمات ليس لهن أنوثة أو شرف، وإلا فكيف نفسر صمتهم المطبق إزاء خروج هذا العدد الهائل من النساء من بيوتهنَّ كل يوم؟ وكيف يدعي الرجل منهم غيرته على أنوثة المرأة ورقَّتها، في حين أن شعرة واحدة لا تهتز في جسده وهو يسير في الشارع، ومن خلفه خادمته البنت الضعيفة الصغيرة تَحمل عنه وهو رجل قويٌّ الحقائب الثقيلة، ولا يهتز الواحد منهم وهو يرى كل يوم طوابير النساء العتالات والكادحات في الحقول والمشاغل والمصانع؛ حيث تعمل المرأة ضعف الساعات التي يعملها الرجل لأنها تعمل خارج البيت وداخله. بل لا يهتز الرجل منهم وهو راقدٌ في سريره وزوجته تخدمه، ولا تكفُّ عن الحركة داخل البيت من أجل تلبية طلباته وطلبات الأسرة والأطفال.”
