Shaikh Muhammad Alawi al Maliki (Allah have mercy on him) wrote,
‘The night of mawlid (birth of Prophet, Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) that is considered to be superior to the night of Power (lailat al qadr) is only that very night, centuries ago when the blessed birth actually occurred. It is not that night which comes every year in the month of Rabi al awal.’
