When the Prophet ﷺ entered Madina, he was greeted by a group of young girls from the tribe of Bani Najjar singing the following verses: ""We are little girls from the tribe of Bani Najjar, how wonderful a neighbor Muhammad is."" The Prophetﷺ smiled and asked them: ""Do you love me?"" When they responded affirmatively, he said: ""Allah knows that my heart loves you as well.""
Muslim sages have always emphasized that children are born saints due to their sinless innocence. The Prophet ﷺ described rain as ""a recent arrival from its Lord"" and hence advised his Companions to expose their heads to it. Likewise children are a rain of innocence and blessing from Allah that remind humanity of our ultimate home and return. Most importantly, they are a source of joy for a community and the best remembrance of the greatest divine gift to mankind: the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
