I hear in the news that Scientists discovered that Christmas (The birth of our beloved Jesus) was during summer (17 June ) - this is not news to us Muslims, because we know since long time that Jesus was not born 25th of December as Christians celebrate every year.

Read Surah Mary in the Quran Chapter (Surah 19), "And mention in the book Mary, when she withdrew in seclusion from her familyto a place facing east" (16) "She placed a screen from them; then We sent to her Our Spirit (Archangel Gabriel), and he appeared before her in the form of man in all respect" (17) "She said:"Verily I seek refuge with the Merciful (God) from you, if you do fear God" (18) "He said (The Angel): "I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son" (19) "She said:"How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchase?" (20) "He said (The Angel):"So, your Lord said:"That is easy for ME: And We wish to appoint him (Jesus) as sign to mankind and a mercy from US, and it is a matter (already) decreed (by God)" (21) "So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (Bethlehem 5 miles from Jerusalem)" (22) "and the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm, She said:" I wish that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!" (23) "Then (The baby Jesus) Cried unto her from under her, saying "Grieve not; your Lord has provided a water stream under you" (24) "And shake the trunk of the date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you" (25)

It is a very well known fact that the Palm Dates become ripe during the summer also it is known scientifically that if pregrant women eat dates before delivery will ease the delivery pain
