The celebration of the
birthday of the Prophet is one of those "Contemporary
Innovations". Contemporary
Bid�ah are numerous due to the distant time span which separates the Muslim
today from the Prophetic era, the scarcity of knowledge, and the large number
of promoters of Bid�ah and violations in Islamic adherence. Resembling the
infidel�s costum and rituals is another reason, as the foretold by the Prophet:
�You certainly shall
follow the tracks of those before you�. At-Tirmidhi
Ignorant Muslims and
deviant scholars celebrate the month of Rabi al-Awal, the Messengers birthday.
Some hold this function in masjeed and some at homes while others in designated
places that are prepared for this purpose. Large number attend such
celebration, copying the Christians in their Bid�ah of celebrating Christmas.
Such celebration also include some polytheistic practices and objectionable
things such as reciting litanies that include excessive praising of the Prophet
of Allah. The prophet forbade revering him excessively:
�Do not adulate me as the Christians adulate the son of Maryam, I am
only human, therefore, call me the slave of Allah and His Messenger.� (Bukhari
and Muslim)

Very true and simple. But who will make the Brelvi muslims believe that ! They are fully ready to celebrate the B day of the prophet in many forms, in a form of huge processions on the streets.
It seems that it is a reply to the Shias who do something on the streets on 10 Muharram every year. I feel that the best thing to do about the celebartion of the birth of the holy prophet is to do some sessions explaining his way of life (i.e. his seerat).

Can i ask what is meant by celebration? or lets say what do people actually do?
So what if there is a talk that is held on this day about the life of our Prophet Muhhamed s.a.w.
I mean a simple talk about his life? but happens to be on this day.
Do we go or not? how does anyone know the intentions of the dozens of people who attend these events? I am asking because there are sincere people out there who go to learn something and not for party and fun.

Now that's what I call a party!
My house is filled with family and smiling faces returning from mosque to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet - henna being done up on the women returning from the local coiffure. I smell incense from Saudi and probably Malaysian jowee. It is a beautiful spring day today, t'barak Allah.
Enjoy yourselves and love God, his Prophets and some decent food, y'all...

"Ignorant Muslims and
deviant scholars"
If you dont know how to discuss a topic then dont say anything at all, how do you know that every scholar in History that condoned mawlid was a deviant....the answer is you dont, you are simply shooting your mouth of and insulting some people allah loves, as they say in contemporary times "sucks to be you" on the big day.
The celebration of the
birthday of the Prophet is one of those "Contemporary
Innovations".
i can only draw one of two conclusions about this point, you are either ignorant of the history of mawlid or you are just learning to speak english, dont worry we where all there at one point in time including myself. You cant describe something that has existed in islam for more than a thousand years as contemporary, maybe you should research the topic properly beffore calling various ulumah deviant for no reason.....if remembering the prophet is deviant then what are you by that standard?
�Do not adulate me as the Christians adulate the son of Maryam, I am
only human, therefore, call me the slave of Allah and His Messenger.� (Bukhari
and Muslim)
you are stetching the meaning of this hadith to mean that one should not praise the prophet in ANY sence, a haram thing advocate for obvious reasons, what you legaly have to prove is that people are going to extremes in what they do like the shia on ashura becouse rasul allah [sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam] was using the christians as an example of extreme veneration not as an example against ANY type of veneration.
Our Uluma took there nafs out of the equation when studying these ahadith they didnt bend and twist the meanings towards there personal bias like you are doing.
�You certainly shall
follow the tracks of those before you�. At-Tirmidhi
if this was ever a hadith against "any type" of imitation of christians then why dont we stop using the solar calander or rather the "gregorian" calender [decreed by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Gregory_XIII" title="Pope Gregory XIII - Pope Gregory XIII , after whom it was named, on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_24" title="February 24 - 24 February http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1582" title="1582 - 1582 by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_bull" title="Papal bull - papal bull http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_gravissimas" title="Inter gravissimas - Inter gravissimas ]. He wasnt reffering to things which have a benefit in them such as remembrance and certainly wasnt intending outlawing things for the simple sake of them being new, if this is the key principle in your legal theory that you are attempting to establish then you should quickly stop using the internet br and not bother coming onto this forum anylonger its a bidah that wasnt around in the prophets time.....no doubt your commen sence will override this obvious truth [that it wasnt around] so why doesnt it override the misconception you have about mawlid.

The celebration in the form of discussing the life (Seerat) of the prophet s.a.w.s. is alright. That is necessary. But what goes on in India and Pakistan in the name of the prophet's birthday may not be the approved way.

Yes, minuteman. There are lots of innovations being done nowadays on how people celebrate the birth of the Prophet. To love him is to make him realize his mission to us, to follow the commands of Allah the best that we can and be sincere in our belief.
I am not a scholar either but I read and I think no one here is a scholar. I just post here what I read and believe in with a support from either ayah or hadith and its up to those who read it if they agree or not. I dont like debates.
Sorry if "ignorant" words made you react that way but I dont have other terms to use other than that.

Then dont generalise this to all people on earth or use words like deviant its not hard to rephrase something. Ive been to many mawlids were nothing bad occurs so should we now say they are also haram....NO....you should condition your statment by saying "mawlids in which bidah occurs" are haram to attend.
what you are saying is all mawlids are haram.

As-Salamu Alaikum,
There is nothing wrong in looking back and discussing the life of the Prophet(saaws) in a gathering. The problem is to dedicate this day to one specific day like his so called birthday, which no one really knows which day it really was do we? Did the Sahaba's(raa) ever do this? The people after them?
If we do a history search on the celebration of birthdays we wil find a evil practice of shirk associated with birthdays. We should not associate this pagan practice with our beloved Prophet(saaws).
Muslims should remember the Prophet everyday by obeying him, making the five daily prayers and thing like this. We should not associate one day to praise his life and discuss his life like Muslims have done in these times. Some Masjids never have any gatherings to discuss the life of the Prophet(saaws) except on this day. That is wrong and it is bidah.

The problem is to dedicate this day to one specific day like his so called birthday, which no one really knows which day it really was do we? Did the Sahaba's(raa) ever do this? The people after them?
So on this day should people not go to mosque and talk about the prophet s.a.w just because it might be our nabi�s Bday and because you cant get your head around the fact that they do not celebrate the Bday but only remember the life of our prophet s.a.w and read some Quran?
Is it better people go outside to party on these days? rather then be in mosque, learn something and maybe pray once in their life.
And before you say we should be doing that everyday, well yeah we should, but reality is most people do not, reality is a lot of people go mosque only in Ramadan or Juma, and if this day is going to be a day where people go to the mosque and maybe Insallah sort themselves out, then I see no problem with that personally. But mainly because none of you produced hard evidence that it is �shirk�.
I do not understand you people, just because a handful of people do wrong, you call the whole thing �bidah� and �shirk�. None of you have even produced a hadith or Quran verse that says saying it is shirk, stop accusing people of things they do not do, you lot are not doing justice at all.
By the way, i am not referring to whether the celebration of bday is allowed or not, im just wondering why some are so against the idea of going to Masjid on these days and learning.
And when one of you post something from a website can you please and please post the link of it below, especially if it is a rulling, so we know exactly who these ideas are coming from.

Rami, you are always in a "debate mode". We are not debating here, we are sharing knowledge. If you think you need to correct something, there is no harm in telling it in a nice word, something not in compelling mode. You seemed to always in a mode....you scare me
If am wrong, am not ashame to say am wrong and you are right. and in this case...yes! thats what I mean "mawlids in which bidah occurs" are haram to attend".. I stand corrected and thank you very much.

As'Salamu Alaikum,
Imp87, as dp75 said we need not dedicate a day for celebating Prophet's B'day. It does n't mean u stop going to mosque or discuss of Prophet Muhammad { sallal lahu alahi wasallam } that day. It all depends of intention. If you intend to listen them to refresh your Imaan and learn from the seerah, then its Ok. Secondly , in such gatherings of Mawlid, most of the people {Pls note most of the people not all } exaggerate our Prophet so it may lead to shirk. Infact masjids are the best places to learn deen.

Here at sub-continents , it is a practice that on this day, they open up doors for people to view the hair of Prophet sallal lahu alaihi wa sallam or we call it Muay Mubarak, and people start up commiting shirk there. I mean they touch the box and make duas and commit all other wrong acts. They exaggerate Prophet saying that he the Giver and He is everything. Thus, it opens up doors of shirk . Anyways, we can go that day like any other day to the Masjids to learn deen and refresh our imaan.

thank you seek for very good post
it is the reason i say SUFISWINES it is they who turned HALAL into HARAM
it is very simple what is HARAM it is HARAM everyday and what is HARAM and what is HALAL is clear in SHARIAH
therefore visiting graves or celebrating birthday is not HARAM
it will become HARAM like any other day if one commits HARAM act
it is this SUFISWINES turned our shrines into temples and KHARIJI who thinks every grave is temple

Note: not most of the people do that! most go there to learn and no not commit the shirk you are talking about. I do not care what a handful of people do, stop hand picking a few wrongers and blaming every act that you can not accept.
And read my post properly, I did not say we dedicate a day like that (a Bday), but I am asking what is wrong with going to it, just because it is, or happens to fall on that so called day. As you said there is nothing wrong to go mosque to learn! on these so called days.
If any of you are concerned about it so much, then ask your local imams, but actually you all seem to know the intentions of every man and why they go to these meetings, so go to your mosques, make a day there where you can talk about prophets s.a.w life without �committing shirk�, you might actually divert people from real �shirk� then.
I hope you all realize one day that you are taking peoples sins upon yourselves by saying people commit shirk and harram by generalizing like some are doing here.
And please, the average Muslims knows the difference between Allah c.c and our Prophet Muhammed s.a.w. This is like one of the madhab topics, never goes anywhere, so have fun im out.

I never said that going to the masjid and talking about the life of the Prophet(saaws) is shirk, I said that the idea of birthday celebrations and if you take the time to look at the history comes from shirk. Celebrating birthdays comes from shirk. I have seen some Masjids call this day EID, the Prophet(saaws) said we only have TWO Eids so how can someone now say we have three? It's Bidah, the Prophet(saaws) said all bidah in the deen is in the fire. So just because an act seems good doesn't mean it is good. Can we pray 7 rakahs for Isha instead of 4? It is more prostration and more bowing but no one would say this is okay will they?
What does Mawlid mean? I have been told it means birthday, is this true, can anyone confirm this? So if the Masjid is promoting a night of lectures on EID Al-Mawlid Nabi, does this not mean celebrating the birth of the Prophet(saaws)? This should not be encouraged. What should be encouraged is to give lectures monthy or weekly and invite the Muslims community to the Masjid. Or you can do what the Prophet(saaws) actually did and that is give a brief lecture after the salat. Now of course that will only benefit the Muslims that go to the Masjid but like I said have lectures on a monthly or weekly or bi-weekly basis and invite. Don't say once a year will have a lecture on the day we believe the Prophet(saaws) was born.
The problem with doing it this day is to say it is his birthday and whenver you go to the Masjids you will hear Imams say this. We should have days throughout the year invite the community to the Masjid not just once a year. Maybe only a few will come but at least those few will continue to hear about what Islam is and insha'Allah Allah will open their heart.
Bidah in worship is haram and this is from the Prophet(saaws).
If someone can provide evidence from Quran and Sunnah I am all for it but there isn't any. No one can even provide evidence from the Companians(raa) or the scholars after them.
I understand it is good to get Muslims into the Masjid and maybe their heart insha'Allah will open up but doing it the wrong way is not the right way. We have to do things according to Islam wether that attracts people to Islam or not it is not our job, our job is to present Islam and that's all. Allah has completed our religion, who are we to add to it?
If people want to do this don't say Islam says it's okay or it is a part of the deen because many Imams do that and this is wrong. You are fooling people that have limited knowledge in the deen and it just confuses them.

I did that and the answer I got was he showed me a fork and asked me to provide evidence where in the Quran or Sunnah it says to use this. Of course this makes absolutely no sense since using a fork has nothing to do with ibbadah, neither does technology, bidah(inovations) in technology is okay but no matter how many times I said this to him he continued to tell me everyone does bidah. So you can't get a true explanation or one that even makes sense if you ask because there is no evidence for it so they will come up with anything.
Another Imam I asked he started discussing about how the Imams in Mecca and Medina during their khutabahs are talking about slaughtering animals while Muslims all over are dying. So his point is why stop Muslims from doing this. You see no evidence at all when you ask all the replies you will get back will not even be logical accoriding to Islam but yet will fool ignorant Muslims.
I specifically asked him if it was okay according to Islam and the question was avoided and this Imam is considered a Scholar.

Assalamu'Alaikum br's and sr's,
Well I'd just like to add that on one of my first trips to Egypt many years ago it just happened to be during the Prophets(pbuh) birthday.
In Egypt they do make surgar candy statues for the kids I couldn't really tell of what but it looked like the kids enjoyed them. There was a parade in the cities we were further out and our family just got together read Quran and had a nice meal along with our regular daily events.
I was surprised I hadn't expected it but I think it's what you do with your time.
Over there everyone works 6 days a week and the kids go to school year round so if the government wants to give everyone a day off and you choose to read Quran and have a nice meal with your family I don't see anything wrong with it...We do the same thing here in the US on Thanksgiving.
JazakAllahuKhair

In everything that we do is base on intention and only Allah can know that... In every deeds that we do we should always watch out not to commit SHIRK. Shirk is a sin Allah wont forgive unless you repent from it and those committing it and die in that state, Jahannam is his final abode...Quran 4:48
"Verily, All�h forgives not that partners
should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom
He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with All�h in worship, he has indeed invented a
tremendous sin."
Islam is a moderate religion. The Prophet said:
Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Those who make things hard for themselves will be destroyed." He
said it three times. [Muslin]
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "The deen is easy. Anyone who makes the deen too hard on himself
will find it becomes too much for him. So aim for what is right, follow a middle
path, accept the good news of the reward for right action, and seek help [to
reach your goal by being constant in worshipping] in the morning, evening and
some of the night."[al-Bukhari]
Allah says, "Ta Ha. We did not send down the Qur'an to you to
make you miserable," (20:1)
and the Almighty says, "Allah desires ease
for you; He does not desire difficulty for you." (W2:184;
H2:185)
So lets not make it hard on us..Just avoid SHIRK that will lead us to JAHANNAM and make Allah angry and wont have His Mercy on us. Muslim do good deeds purposely to please Allah and please Him we should be.....ameen.

I am going to edit my January 21st post on Moharram
a similar thread for this one!
I would disagree with � The celebration of the birthday of the Prophet
is one of those "Contemporary Innovations".
It started some around 11th century Fatimid Egypt
and has gone through various versions in different Muslim lands.
But the way the date and calendar being used I would agree
that the Muslims involved in this are totally ignorant of basic rules in the say
totally ignorant way of doing this occasion; involvement of a bunch Islamic
rulers being part of this
notwithstanding!
And if I tell you pull your driver�s license how many would read
the birthday in Lunar dates, I bet it would be none of you guys! The
celebration of birthdays is not unknown amongst the immigrant Muslims� children
at least in the west! And none would use Lunar dates cuz it is not part of the
recorded birth information.
!
Now how can you go along the Prophet�s birth day by a system that doesn�t
repeat the same day and conditions on yearly basis but takes 36.5 years to do
that! Look at the sample chart below:
And the celebration of his birthday wasn�t done for say for
almost four hundred years!
Not that people stopped praying Daroods in salaats in those
four centuries!
It hardly phases to the multitude who can't think on their
own and will have a party for anything! Folks are getting ready for the Milad party
cuz some select Islamic centers and now even some Halal restaurants have
sent fliers that 12th of Rabi ulAwwal is here again

Do you see the 2025 weather condition of the day went totally opposite from
a Spring day to Fall day in 18 years time span.
All I can say the
most numskulls can�t see this cuz the pobres are illiterate without the
faculty of seeing things in their proper perspective. This being heliocentric world
than the geocentric and the religious people's mindset and the moon dates being every thing. I bet some of them
still think the earth is flat. I would love to celebrate his birth day if it
was known for certain on the calendar we live our lives by!
Now take the case of Imam Hussain�s martyrdom that happened in
the middle of hot summer and you know the Shiit did the memorial a couple of months
back in the middle of winter! Isn�t that a moronic closed mind that it
has to be in Mohrram cuz they only knew the Lunar calendar then! They have turned a day's event into a event like the revelation of Quraan in Ramadan!
For God sake how is it possible to have a self flagellation
procession during snow and sleet storm in middle of the winter season at least
in northern hemisphere?(Let's take city of Chicago) How can they be such knuckleheads listen all the Majalis and fake expressions of thirst. I have seen these immigrants who are so close minded as are their folks in
the subcontinent or ME! And we talk about the Christians!
Conversely the revelation of Quran in lunar month of Ramadan and that month a becoming
period of fasting to be universal! It was such superbly fantastic thing to do
that it is mind boggling! And I don�t think most Muslims have understood the
concept as yet even after their diaspora!
It is such a just system that He gave to the Muslims
cuz at the time only Allah being the creator knew how our heliocentric system is
designed and how the humans are scattered around the globe contrary to the
Catholic church's original teaching that either the earth was flat or the world was geocentric!
This way the Muslims as we see them now living almost in every part of the
globe can enjoy the Ramadan under the equalization principle northern
hemispheres fast durations with southern hemisphere cuz the lengths of the
fast varying according to locations in respective hemispheres in opposite seasons in the prevailing weather conditions!
It is just an amazing setup with most people not realizing this fact! Allah
distributes his blessings thru Ramadan month varying by 10 days through all the
seasons around the globe and on the average. The Muslims get two rounds of it if
the age is averaged around 72 years!
Subahnallah!
IF some one can explain this to a disbeliever it should be enough evidence
about the veracity of Islamic faith!
So far the this bidah thing is concerned I think the Muslims
after becoming colonized and losing the freedoms and respect we shouldn't make such abig deal out of it! The colonial
masters doing one thing or another to degrade our Prophet from the place of
honor! Does it really matter having a party to sing few Nasheeds/ naats tell
stories about his seerah etc come to think of it!
It about time to do some heavy research and mark it on the calendar! So we don't have to be told every year by a flier for the party. And stop rotating it through the calendar, it is too confusing a concept for our children that
their birth day comes same time every year and Prophets' moves back by ten days
Is it a case of Cognitive dissonance or Double think which is it? or both

I am going to edit my January 21st post on Moharram a similar thread for this one!
I would disagree with � The celebration of the birthday of the Prophet is one of those "Contemporary Innovations".
It started some around 11th century Fatimid Egypt and has gone through various versions in different Muslim lands.
But the way the date and calendar being used I would agree that the Muslims involved in this are totally ignorant of basic rules in the say totally ignorant way of doing this occasion; involvement of a bunch Islamic rulers being part of this notwithstanding!
And if I tell you pull your driver�s license how many would read the birthday in Lunar dates, I bet it would be none of you guys! The celebration of birthdays is not unknown amongst the immigrant Muslims� children at least in the west! And none would use Lunar dates cuz it is not part of the recorded birth information.
! Now how can you go along the Prophet�s birth day by a system that doesn�t repeat the same day and conditions on yearly basis but takes 36.5 years to do that! Look at the sample chart below:
And the celebration of his birthday wasn�t done for say for almost four hundred years!
Not that people stopped praying Daroods in salaats in those four centuries!
It hardly phases to the multitude who can't think on their own and will have a party for anything! Folks are getting ready for the Milad party cuz some select Islamic centers and now even some Halal restaurants have sent fliers that 12th of Rabi ulAwwal is here again and it will be on March 20th for the Sunnis and 17th of Rabi'-ul-Awwal for (Shi'a) dates on Solar Year

Mr Barzakh Fitrah Ullah : Holy Prophet MUHAMMAD Sallel La Hu Aalahi Wa Sallim said Khariji is evil Khariji is no good Therefore it is logical this Khariji will hate the most sacred Dua and DUROOD They hate MILAD E MUSTAFA the holy birthday party Oh BE AQL they are the dirty people how can they know about the Pius and piety Khajirite is the person who had shaven head and open ankle He understood the manifest QURANIC majeja but knew not about the SHUNNATC miracle Therefore to recognize his progeny see who is the fanatic about the AL QURAN and about SUNNAH who is mad Because Khariji is the person who strictly adheres to AL QURAN and SUNNAH by performing the SALAH with full view ankle and hidden empty head They will uphold QURAN and SUNNAH yet they will do what was done by theirs Khariji forefather And theirs forefather became Khariji not for ISLAMIC Akhida but for his KUFFAR behavior He insulted the HOLY Prophet by turning his back He doubted who is beyond all doubt according to the ALLAH the AL HAQQ Now to recognize his progeny see not theirs Shariatic AML but look for theirs KAFFIR hobby See they too have NAMAZ RUJA HAJJ JAKAH but the lack the MILADUN NABI See they follow QURANIC decrees and SUNNAHTIC Arkan and Ahkam Yet according to the AL HADIS the all will go to the belly of the JAHANNAM Because after ARKAN and AHKAM the only thing the differ is the MILADUN NABI and the AHLE BAITH They are all KAFFIRS because the differ on the foundation of what wrong and what is right So YA NABI SALAM ALAIKA YA RASUL SALAM ALAIKA YA HABIB SALAM ALAIKA SALAWA THULLA ALAIKA

poga: What do you smoke or chew on? May be too much chewing of the Bangali bittle leaves, that you have to derail the threads with your Anglicized Bungali poetry! Who are you trying to impress with this stuff? You are in your colonial master's lap and talk about the Kharjites, what balderdash! Is it the Crab (Lunatic effect from the moon) sign effect that you don't pay attention to the FORUM GUIDELINES? The forum moderators have tried but to no effect

OMG, some of you are funny, I called someone an idiot on this forum once because they kept posting irrelevant arguments into the topic. Anyway about four people were �disgusted� with my term �idiot� and kept posting a �fatwa� or �advice� about my manners lol.
But I see calling people a Kaffir is no problem, nothing about manners i see.
Ah maybe this is why we are so going �<======� that way, instead of �=======>� that way. We argue over little things like a Bday when peoples lands are invaded, bad use of resources my friends.
Oh by the way, i mean no offence so please do not post things about my manners and call me a kaffir now.

It is all full of lies. If these people have left islam, it is very good. They can leave. But they should not leave the use of truth. What they have done was wrong. But let it be so. No harm if they left islam. They were surely unfit for Islam any way.
The important thing to know now is where they have landed. Did the writer have the courage to tell what faith is he/she following now? Or they all Hindus now? or christians? Or Jews or Budhists. Or atheists??
If that faith is told then we will judge the mental stage of the apostates.
