ReplyDeleteCarly,
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding back! The area where you posted that was just random looking and to read that just freaked my family & I out. I stayed as close to my dad as possible today cuz I didn't get to read your reply until tonight.
Anyway - Sorry for the other Summer's loss and thanx again.
Prophet Mohammed died on Rabi-ul-Awwal 26,exactly 2 weeks after his birthday.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so as his death anniversary is also celebrated on his birthday.
