Brother, can u tell us more why should we pleases the Holy Messenger (SAW) beside Allah?

Quran says

Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds: (6:162)

Absolutely Sending blessings to our prophet is ok. It was an order from Allah, but how to implement this order, didn't our prophet show it?

An action can be bida'a if it's not in harmony with the principles of our religion.

Bukhari: Volume 3, Book 49, Number 861:
Narrated Aisha:

Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected."

Dear Brother, Assalaamoalaikum

Brother, can u tell us more why should we pleases the Holy Messenger (SAW) beside Allah?

Quran says

Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds: (6:162) No doubt, everything that we do should be for the pleasure of Allah(SWT) ONLY. We please Allah(SWT) by submitting to His Will, to His Commands. And amongst His Commands we have, inter alia, (a) Obey My Beloved Messenger - thus will you obey me, (b) send peace and blessings on my Beloved like I and the Angels do. Allah(SWT) could have said "OBEY ME" - FULL STOP.

If we consider the two above -mentioned Commands, we may conclude that Allah(SWT) is saying: Come close to Me through My Beloved . If he, My Beloved, is Pleased with you, I am pleased with you. Is this not why the Friends of Allah(SWT) cling to the Sunnah0f the Holy Messenger(SAW)?

Further, why did the Holy Messenger(SAW) say that he would receive peace and blessings sent to him by his Ummah? if such peace and blessings had no importance for him, then why did he say so? Why did Allah(SWT) requested us to do so? If same were not for the "pleasure" of His Beloved Messenger (SAW)?

Absolutely Sending blessings to our prophet is ok. It was an order from Allah, but how to implement this order, didn't our prophet show it? I have often said that the Holy messenger was a Model, a Guide sent to us by Allah(SWT). This Model / Guide taught us the minimum that we would require to progress along the Straight Path. His duty stopped there. Did he explain anything? Or did he only advise, and in certain cases instruct?

An action can be bida'a if it's not in harmony with the principles of our religion.

Bukhari: Volume 3, Book 49, Number 861:
Narrated Aisha:

Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected." NO DOUBT. Any action not in harmony with the principles of our religion would be HARAAM - not ONLY Bida'a. And what are the principles of our religion, of the Deen of Allah? The fundamental principle of our religion is Remembrance of Allah(SWT) and no association of any partner with Allah(SWT). No more no less. Is celebrating mawlid against these underlying principles ? Remembrance of Allah(SWT) can only be through obedience to and love for the Holy Messenger(SAW), for without him there would have been no creation.

What are haraam during mawlid celebrations? Free mixing? What is free mixing? Recitation of Naats? Recitation of the Holy Qur'an? Celebrating mawlid on a special day or during a specific period? Does any of these actions go against the underlying principles of our deen? Doing something that the Holy Messenger(SAW) did not do? The Holy Messenger(SAW) never specified this criterion. He said that "anything against the principles of our religion is wrong".

Brotherly yours
