Researchers claim ‘exact date of demise’ of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but what do Muslims believe?

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the final messenger of God, left this mortal world on June 08, 632 AD, researchers citing Gregorian calendar calculations claimed.

Meanwhile, the date, June 08, 632 AD, said to be the demise of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is not quoted by any of the Islamic references. As per Islamic history, the death of death claimed by modern-day historians is not the same as no authentic reference backed the calculation. Almost many of the Islamic references are quoted with the lunar calendar.

According to Dar ul Uloom Deoband, it is known that the date is the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal and this is what the majority of Islamic historians have quoted. But there’s a conflict on that side as the Prophet’s last Hajj did not fall on Dhuʻl-Hijjah on Friday.

Amid the conflict of exact Islamic date, Hafiz Ibn Hajar declared the date of demise as the second of Rabi-ul-Awwal. The conflict stemmed from a lack of authentic evidence continues. Ibn Hisham, a notable historian, in his teachings does not mention the date of the Prophet’s demise, but he cited the day instead which is said to be Monday.

Some of the researchers found that the twelfth of Rabi-ul-Awal does not fall on Monday as they claimed the date as May 25 – if the demise considered to be on May 1 or May 2, according to the solar calendar.

Other than the conflicting dates of demise, the cause of the death is also unfamiliar; in general, it is assumed that it was due to a short ailment while Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) buried in the residence of Bibi Aisha (RA), where he passed away. Bibi Aisha (RA) was the third and youngest wife of Allah’s final messenger.

Later, the size of the house, where Prophet SAW was expanded, becomes Masjid e Nabwi – the Mosque of the Prophet with the pearl green dome. A tomb was then added in the 13th century and the complex is a burial site for other notable figures including the first two Rashidoon Caliph.
