All Praises is due to Almighty Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala, Peace and Blessings be upon the most perfect of creations, His Beloved Habeeb, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam his Noble Family and the Illustrious Sahaba Riwanullahi Ta'ala Alaihim Ajma'een and all the pious servants of Almighty Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.

In present era we are suffering sects and scholars who imposes verdicts of Shirk and Bid’at on those who celebrate Mawlid an-Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with great enthusiasm and integrity and due to which the simple and straightforward people who are less in knowledge of Qur’an and Hadith get nervous whether they are following the Truth or not.

Here are ample proofs from Qur'an al-Kareem and Ahadith of Beloved Prophet Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him which shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Celebrating Milad-un-Nabi Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam is absolutely Lawful.



..:: The Holy Qur’an Says ::..
قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيداً لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
Issa son of Maryam submitted, 'O Allah our Lord, 'sends down to us a tray of food from the heaven so that it may be an occasion of rejoicing for us, for the first and the last of us and a sign from You, and provide for us and you are the best of Providers. [Surah Al-Ma’idah, Verse 114]


The day when food is sent from skies is day of rejoicing (EID); then the day when soul of universe Peace be with him was born must be the delight for the day of rejoicing.

Look what Allah has said:


وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
And publicize well the favors of your Lord. [Surah Al-Duha, Verse 11]


Allah himself commemorating Milad in Holy Qar’an as we do in our gatherings, Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala Says in the Holy Qur’an:


هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا
It is He Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth that he may make it prevail over all other religions And Sufficient is Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta as witness. [Surah Al-Fatha, Verse 28]

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And remember when Issa son of Maryam, said, 'O children of Israel, I am Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta's Messenger to you, confirming the previous Book Tourat before me and conveying the glad news of the Messenger who will come after me, his name is Ahmad! ' But when Ahmed came to them with bright signs, they said, 'this is an open magic.' [Surah As-Saf, Verse 6]

لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Assuredly there has come to you a messenger from among yourselves, heavy upon him is your suffering; ardently desirous of your welfare, and to Muslims is most Kind and Merciful. [Surah Tauba, Verse 128]

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولاً مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ
Undoubtedly, Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta did a great favor to the Muslims that in them from among themselves sent a Messenger who recites unto them His signs and purifies them and teaches them the Book and wisdom, and necessarily before that they were certainly in apparent error. [Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 164]

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۔۔۔ قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
O people! There has come an admonition to you from your Lord, and healing of hearts, and guidance and a mercy for the believers. Say you, 'only Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta' grace and only His mercy, on it therefore let them rejoice. That is better than all their wealth. [Surah Al-Yunus, Verse 57/58]


And this is what we do, we celebrate; we rejoice; we do spend our money to show gratitude to Allah Almighty on his greatest mercy and Blessing i.e. celebrations of Milad-un-Nabi because Qur’an Says:


وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
And We sent not you, but a mercy for all worlds. [Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 107]

Let us have the opinions of Prophet (Peace be with him) who himself celebrated his Birthday. See Muslim Sharif:



عَنْ أَبِى قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِىِّ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ « فِيهِ وُلِدْتُ وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ
Abi Qatada Ansari (Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta be pleased with him) reported that Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta's Messenger (may Peace and Blessings of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta be Upon Him) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.

When beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) is celebrating his birthday not yearly but every Monday then how it can be labeled as Shirk or Bid’at?

Beloved Prophet Muhammad SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam himself commemorated about his birth in numerous Ahadith. Few of them are presented below.


ورأت أمي حين حملت بى أنه خرج منها نور أضاء له قصور بصرى من أرض الشام
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) said: “When my mother gave birth to me she saw a light proceeding from her which showed her the castles of Syria”

Pupil of Imam Malik and the teacher of Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal and Hafizul Hadith Abdul Razzak Abu Bakr Bin Hamman, the teacher of the teachers of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, in his Book "Musannaf", has narrated from Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari and his son (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhum), that he asked the Holy Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him)



روى عبد الرزاق -فيما قيل- عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: "قلت: يا رسول الله بأبي أنت وأمّي أخبرني عن أول شىء خلقه الله تعالى قبل الأشياء؟ قال: يا جابر إن الله تعالى خلق قبل الأشياء نور نبيّك من نوره فجعل ذلك النور يدور بالقدرة حيث شاء الله ولم يكن في ذلك الوقت لوح ولا قلم ولا جنّة ولا نار ولا ملك ولا سماء ولا أرض ولا شمس ولا قمر ولا جني ولا إنسي، فلما أراد الله أن يخلق الخلق قسّم ذلك النور أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الجزء الأول القلم، ومن الثاني اللوح، ومن الثالث العرش، ثم قسم الجزء الرابع أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الجزء الأول حملة العرش، ومن الثاني الكرسي، ومن الثالث باقي الملائكة، ثم قسّم الرابع أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الأول السموات، ومن الثاني الأرضين، ومن الثالث الجنّة والنار، ثم قسم الرابع أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الأول نور أبصار المؤمنين، ومن الثاني نور قلوبهم وهي المعرفة بالله، ومن الثالث نور أنسهم وهو التوحيد لا إله إلا الله محمّد رسول الله...."
O Prophet of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta (sallAllah SubHanuhu wa Tau Alaihi wa Sallam)! My parents be sacrificed upon you, what did the Almighty Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta first create?" The Prophet (SallAllah SubHanuhu wa Tau Alaihi wa Sallam) replied: "Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta first created my Noor (Light) of His Noor. This Noor traveled about according to the Will of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta. At that time, there was no Heaven, Hell, Lawh (Divine Tablet), Pen, Earth, Skies, Sun, Moon, Jinn or Human Beings. When He decided to create, He divided that Noor into four parts. From one part He created the Pen, from the second, the Lawh and from the third, he made the Arsh (Throne). He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one, He created those Angels who carry the Arsh, from the second, the Kursi (Divine Chair) and from the third, He created the Angels. He again divided the remaining parts into a further four parts. From one, He created the skies. The second was used in creating the planets. From the third, Heaven and Earth were created. Once again, He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one part He created the power with which the believers see. From the second, He created in the hearts of the Believers the Noor of Marifat. From the third, He created Noor in the tongues of the Believers, so that they can read the Kalima of Tauheed.

Abu Lahab was an uncle to the Prophet (SallAllah SubHanuhu wa Tau Alaihi wa Sallam). The event, which Imaam Qastalaani has referred to, is this. When a maid of Abu Lahab (Abdul 'Uzza) named Thuwaibah informed him of a son being born to his brother Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he (Abu Lahab) was so delighted at herring this that he pointed his finger to her in a manner which signified her emancipation for carrying the good news to him But when the holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) declared his Prophet hood, he (Abu Lahab) did not accept him as a Prophet but became a most severe enemy to him and remained so all his life. In condemnation of him a whole Surah of the Holy Qur’aan descended.



لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو لَهَب رَأَيْته فِي مَنَامِي بَعْد حَوْل فِي شَرّ حَال فَقَالَ : مَا لَقِيت بَعْدكُمْ رَاحَة ، إِلَّا أَنَّ الْعَذَاب يُخَفَّف عَنِّي كُلّ يَوْم اِثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُلِدَ يَوْم الِاثْنَيْنِ ، وَكَانَتْ ثُوَيْبَة بَشَّرَتْ أَبَا لَهَب بِمَوْلِدِهِ فَأَعْتَقَهَا
After his death, people of Abu Lahab's household saw him in a dream, and asked him how he had fared. To this, Abu Lahab said that after departing from them he did not meet with any good but was being given water every Monday from the finger with which he had indicated the emancipation of Thuwaibah, and this water lessened his torment.

Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam after announcing his prophet hood, did his Aqeeqa, not only this, he also stood on his mim’ber sharif (pulpit) and recited his Shajra (Ancestral Tree), commemorated the birth of Hadrat Adam and Status of Hadrat Ibrahim, Hadrat Esa, Hadrat Moosa Alaihimus Salam. He ordered few of his companions to recite his praise; Many of the Companions offered poems in the prominence and praise of Syyiduna Rasoolullah, He was delighted hearing this and prayed for his companions.

Mawlid is sunnah of Abu lahab!

alas now muslim needs to follow the footstep of abu lahab

Similar to it in Falsehood and Rejection (Nakarah) what was narrated through the way of Ali ibn Al-Husien from his father from his grandfather [‘Alaihim Al-Salam] that the Holy Messenger [Salah Allah ‘Alaihi wa Salam] said: “I was light between the hands of my Lord before Adam was created by 14,000 years” and this is also a lie.

*** Al-Hafiz Al-Muhadith Ahmad Al-Ghumari May Allah have mercy in him said in the introduction of his book “Al-Mug’eer ‘Ala Al-Jami’ Al-Sag’eer”: “O Jabir, the first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet from His light, …fabricated”, and then he said: “and its continuation is in around two pages from the big size, containing weak wordings and rejected meanings”.
I say: This tradition is contradictory to what Allah the Exalted said: {Say: I am only a man like you} (18:110), and it is contrary to the tradition that was narrated by Al-Bukhari, Al-Bayhaqi, and ibn Al-Jaroud from ‘Umran Ibn Haseen that the people of Yemen came to Prophet Muhammad –salah Allah ‘alaihi wa Salam- and said: O Prophet of Allah we came to you to learn about our religion and to ask you about the Beginning of this thing, how was it? So he replied: It was Allah, and nothing else, and His Throne was on the water, and He wrote in the Book all things, and then he created the heavens and the earth”, and the tradition that was narrated by Ibn Majah and Ibn Hiban that Abu Huraira said: O Prophet of Allah, whenever I see you my inner self becomes calm, and my eye is pleased so tell me about all things. So he said: “Allah the Exalted created all things from water”, and for the tradition that As-Sud-di Al-Kabeer narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas Mawqoofan “Allah the Exalted did not create anything before the water”.

When beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) is celebrating his birthday not yearly but every Monday then how it can be labeled as Shirk or Bid’at?

He fasted at monday and thursday. FAsting isnt celebrating but doing Ibadah. Like Fasting ramadan is Ibadah and after ramadan at EID DAY people do celebrate. Its Haram to fast at EID DAY(celebration day) So yes Its sunnah to fast at Monday and Thursday, and not celebrate anything.

Let us have the opinions of Prophet (Peace be with him) who himself celebrated his Birthday. See Muslim Sharif:



عَنْ أَبِى قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِىِّ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ « فِيهِ وُلِدْتُ وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ

Dont you know how to read? Or do you think we dont know how to read?

Do you think the Prophet celebrated his birthday EVERY MONDAY?
How how you arrived from fasting every monday to CELEBRATING? IS THIS HOW YOUR SHAIKHS CELEBRATE MAWLID THEN? IF not then what does that say about them?

Now read the hadeeth again and tell me if it mentions fasting on monday because that was the day when revelation was revealed as ONE OF TWO REASONS.

There are some more traditions which prove that the noor of the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) was created in the earliest time, some traditions say that his noor was created before the Tablet, the Pen, earth, sky and even before all creatures.

Maybe Water, because everything comes from water, right?

Yes, water was the first creation.

[lookanddiscover]

I ve a small request to everyone, please dont turn this thread to one of those useless debate threads. You know the ones with enormous copy paste, takafir etc etc. I Don't know about Mawlid celebration or if Allah created water first, But one thing is for sure beyond doubt. Allah loves Prophet Muhammed(saw) the most of all his creation and for us to be a true Muslim, we have to love Allah the most and then our beloved Prophet (saw) before anybody else.

Surat At-Taubah: 24
say: “If your fathers, and your children, and your brothers and sisters, and
your spouses, and your kindred and clan, and the wealth you have acquired, and
the commerce you fear may slacken, and the dwellings that you love to live in,
are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His cause, then
wait until Allah brings about His decree. Allah does not guide the transgressing
people (who prefer worldly things to Him, His Messenger and striving in His
cause, to truth and true happiness in both the world and the Hereafter).

[Adamanta]

Allah loves Prophet Muhammed(saw) the most of all his creation and for us to be a true Muslim, we have to love Allah the most and then our beloved Prophet (saw) before anybody else.

Assalamoualaikoum

I don't want to turn this into a debate. Just wanted to point out that its our love of the Prophet (saw) that makes us oppose Mawlid the way it is held today. My question is 'do you believe that the Prophet (saw) would have sanctioned Mawlid if he was alive (in this world I mean before someone starts calling me a mamati). Would he have agreed with may of the things associated with Mawlid, which has nothing islamic in them? Would he have accepted that a cake is cut in his name?

Love of the Prophet (saw) is not in celebrating Mawlid or not, but adhering to his (saw) sunnah. I know many people who fight on Mawlid but when you tell them that the Beard is wajib, they tell you that Love of the Prophet (saw) in the heart is more important that outward signs.

Note that we don't oppose Mawlid but the way it is celebrated, the processions, fixing of date, free mixing, etc... It is because of all these things that our Ulama have ruled on its impermissibility and not because of the Mawlid itself.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows best

[lookanddiscover]

Bro

Yes I can understand what you are saying. And I am glad you dont ve the intention to debate. May Allah reward you for that. My opinion is not to debate on things like these, especially people like us who have not spend years learning Quran and Hadith. Rather on trying to learn indepth about such controversial topics we should turn that energy to learning more about Fiqh of Salat, Fasting, Hajj etc. And most difficult part is converting this knowledge into action.

The four Imams differed on various topics with each of them had strong evidence to back their opinion, and they never defamed or rejected each other. They had outmost respect for each other. I ve read in an article that Imam Abu Hanifa (rahimahulla) used to say 'I don't know the answer' often to queries. That is the piety and humility of them. On the contrast We who belong to the generation of 'google' who just debate and debate and debate, with a window of google on the side of the screen. Yet we forget that of the first 3 people to be judged in the Day of Resurrection, one of them is a scholar who gained knowledge for worldy benefit. Who will be dragged to Hell with his face on the ground.!

Sorry I got a bit off topic, but its hurts to see us(including me) Muslims argue with each other so much that even the person who is right becomes wrong just because of arguing.

Allah knows best.
