What you and your community do on milad day?

[CAxrrAYN]

waalikumusalam

jazakallah

[Pynctyncroast]

Assalamu alaykum

Why do say salaam on milaad day only?

What kind of ENJOYMENT?

[CAxrrAYN]

waalikumsalam

i do not only say salam on milad day brother can i pls clarify this, i say salam regularly but on milad day we say salam collectively in thousands as this is a special occasion and a blessed day, what i mean by enjoyment is generally being happy knowing that i might get a slight chance of the shafat of the prophet muhammad s.a.w

jazakallah

Salam Aleykum,

The answer is that the scholars differ and I can see three groups:

1- Milad is impermissible as it is an innovation and it resembles the christian's celebration of Isa's (as) birth, we only have Two 'Eids and we are not allowed to increase our worship on a specific day of the year or week.

2- Milad is not a 'Eid it is a memory and we can spend it doing Dhikr and listening to Seerah as long as we do not do any ghulu or innovations such as "eating cakes" playing with "Fireworks" or inventing any ritualistic acts of worship such as a "new prayer" ect...

3- Celebrating Milad is permissible and anything you do on it is permissible because it shows love.


Personally I am somewhere between #1 and #2...

[CAxrrAYN]

brother celebrating the milad is permissable all we are doing is sending durood and salam on the prophet s.a.w collectively the day he s.a.w was born nothing else we are not celebrating it the way the christians do for jesus those who do wierd acts are wrong and i dont know why people associate them with the barelvi sunni's, brother what happens in a normal mawlid is that we start of by recitation of the quran,we then send salawaat on the prophet s.a.w we then invite a scholar to give a lecture that will increase our love for the prophet s.a.w and remind us of what the prophet s.a.w did for us and what we are doing now, we then gives food at the end nothing else we dont give presents to each other like the christians or anything like that.

brother you must remember that they are two types of biddah

biddah e hasanah- this is innovations that are good for the ummah such as the fatha and kasra that some people have in thier quran is an innovation it wasn in the time of the prophet or shahba, similarly minarets in mosques

biddah e sayyiah- is a new innovations that has no origing from the quran or sunnah

jazakallah

I don't believe there's anything wrong in what you do above, as long as this is not limited to one day of the year, always send duroood and always attend lectures about Seerah and so on, it becomes a Bida'ah when you do this only once a year on this occasion, so this is clear Inchallah.

I don't believe in Bida'ah Hasanah (regardless of the opinion of the Madhab).

[CAxrrAYN]

so what is your opininon of the fatha,damma and kasra that are in some qurans is this not a beneficial biddah?

[thargeagsaf]

dont the barelvis also take out juloos on milad day from one mosque to another, causing inconvenience to the road users especially in non muslim countries like UK

they do this in my part of London! they need to close the main roads off...major inconvenience...you know how the traffic is in london on a normal day so imagine having to deal with hundreds of men marching in the roads with banners and singing naats

they also actually call it EID miladun nabi and people get dressed up like you do on eid and the mosque even gives out mitaii

[CAxrrAYN]

they call it eid to give it the status of happiness, sister look at the amount of difficulty the prophet s.a.w went through and will go through on the day of judgement asking for your and the whole ummahs forgiveness and you think its wrong to show the world and remind them of what we should be doing just because it causes traffic in london for one day only, the day the prophet s.a.w was born.

no offence intended sister

jazakallah

what is the march supposed to remind them of exactly :s

Why do so on a particular day? Can you prove that a particular day claimed to be the day of milaad is actually the day of milaad from ahadeeth and that the sahabas did anything similar to what goes on in Eid Milaad-un-Nabi celebrations? Or if they even celebrated the Milaad? Did any of the tabi'een and tabi' tabi'een celebrate milaad? Can I ask you why did they not do so? Did they not love Rasoolullah ?

[twiffatticy]

Milaad has becomce a custom to make money and waste money in Pakistan in a village a person spent 15 Lakh Rupees on lights for Milad is this not wasting money then I do not know what is. while the ummah of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad is dying of hunger and poverty they waste thier money on lighting we need to get our priority right, every muslim loves the Prophet and the best way to show our love is to follow he's Sunnah and the example he gave us.

To hold gatherings to speak on Seerah and do zikr is not wrong but too waste money and do juloos where you call fellow muslims who do not do Milad as kafir and gustakh is definitely wrong and thats why ulema declare it impermissible because of unislamic practices.

Brother you know the answers to these questions you come here and saying that I want to learn then you give brelwi view of things just do a search and you will find answer to all these questions.

[CAxrrAYN]

it reminds people that we should come to the mosque on milad day and everyother day to recite salat and salam and rember the prophet s.a.w instead of driving around in your car on that day

[CAxrrAYN]

brother i celebrate millad every week but it is normally larger on that day because it is main day, brother if you have a problem of it being on a particular day do it on anyday i will come also that is not the point.

did the sahabah or the tabieen forbid this act?

brother why do you associate people who do weird things to the brailvis, i am aharing my views and what i have been taught while laerning at the same time , whats wrong with that.

To specify a particular day when we are not even sure if the day is correct is something that is imitating non-believers who like to celebrate birthdays annually. Rasoolullah "celebrated" his birthday every Monday by fasting. People who go to these Milaad celebrations celebrate it on 1 day a year (like Christians celebrate Christmas one day a year) and fasting? People stuff their faces with sweets and samosas! There should be no extra reverence given to a day that we are unsure of. Also, people who do not attend milaad are looked down upon, as if they hate Rasoolullah when it is closer to his sunnah to not do a milaad celebration.

[CAxrrAYN]

brother we dont clebrate it on one day a year we do it regularly but on 12 rabi ul awwal it is celebrated on a bigger scale, brother it is not good to make accustaion when you dont know the truth many people do fast on that day, i also agree that they are some bad people who just go to eat etc but at the milad we also warn people to stay within the limits of islam and do embarass this practise,

can u pls prove that the tabieen or the sahabah rejected this act if you sya it is wrong?
