I don't celebrate the prophet's birthday on ONE day (12th Rabiul Awwal) but what i do is that i FAST EVERY MONDAY - Just like the prophet did himself! so what i do is SUNNAH.
celebrating the prophet's birthday (on 12th Rabiul Awwal) is not harram but it is bid'ah (innovation).

Mashallah. You are so humble!
However, the prophet fasted mondays AND thursdays. He also fasted most of shabaan, and the middle 3 days of every month. Sometimes he used to fast 24 and 48 hour fasts. Do you do those two.

Anyway, coming back to the issue of the prophets birthday, if it is BIDAH it is also HARAAM as all bidah are misguidance, which leads tohell.

So either your definition of bidah is too broad, in which case you need to narrow it, or it is wrong, in which case you need to find a new definition.

Something can only be bidah if there is nothing in the shariah that it can be based on. Those who argue in favour of celebrating it point out its benefits - its a wonderful occassion for us all to discuss the Prophet(saw)s life.
