Yet Saudis having a biggest concert and nobody batters an Eyelid. Most of these ppl celebrate thier kids birthday.

Meanwhile in Riyadh, a music concert is not Bidaah 🤣🤣🤣🤣

if you love prophet S A.W. follow his sunnah

To this day I never understood why people say Mawlid is a bidah or innovation. My local masjid said they will be hosting a mawlid event so I went and they recited some Qur'an, they spoke about the life of the Messenger (PBUH) and then gave everyone some fruits and stuff I don't see how that's bad or misguidance

May Allah save us from bidah.

Lucky we still got many Imam of ahli sunnah walaljamaah

Abu Qatada Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Massenger (Peace 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. Sahih Muslim Book number 6 Hadith number 2606

Our beloved prophet came into the world for mankind why would there be any harm to anyone if he is remembered

There are tons of things which we do today, which the prophet did not do!!! Always doing something good, is ac cepted

Dr Bilal, Sheikh Uthman, Assimal Hakeem, Abu Musab Wajdi, Karim Abu Zaid Tq for the Ilmu and may ALLAH SWT make it easy on all of us during this difficult time.

Sahabis never read Bukhari Sharif, never classified hadith as Sahih, Daif etc, even nuqta in Quran Sharif was introduced later, Sahabis never built Minarets on mosques, then why do you all do so?

We don't even spit at people who distributes sweets on the birth of their child and asks for proof when it comes to the best of creations

We usually do not celebrate the birthday or death of any of our beloved ones, after they are dead.

-10:58 قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ - 10:58 Say "in the bounty of Allah and in His mercy- in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they accumulate" -( who or what is mercy , look at surah Al- Anbya V 107 below ) AND what is rejoice rejoice: celebrate, be glad , revel, delight , joy - Thersaurus english dictionary And we have not sent you ( O Muhammad ) except as a mercy to the worlds وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ - 21:107

Can I just make things clear for all the ignorant people out there. There is nothing wrong with being happy with the birth of the prophet. We are happy for all the prophets, not just Muhammad (sws). However, that doesn't mean we celebrate his birthday! Why do you guys need to idolise him just like the Christians did with Isa? The prophets birthday was never celebrated by the companions or the best 3 centuries after them. So what makes US think we're smarter and better than them??? We may think that there's nothing wrong, but look at the different parts of the world and how they celebrate the Mawlid. Some people intermingle and freemix during this time as a "celebration", others do fireworks and cut a cake (all Christian practices), and some sing including freemix singing. Not only that but there are occasions where people in the mosque have said "everyone stand up because the prophet has entered the mosque". GUYS THIS IS REAL. but is it correct???!! The prophet has passed away, how can he ever enter the mosque. This is the effect of the Mawlid. If we keep thinking the Mawlid is good, well think again because there's already so much fitna with the Mawlid. Hence why the prophet warned us against idolising him. And just for those reading, or who disagree with the Sunnah of the prophet, what are the rewards for the Mawlid? Send me proof of the rewards that It gives. If you can't, then I can assure you that what your doing is incorrect and has nothing to do with Islam.

Muslims follow Qur'an and sunnah. There is no mention of celebrating our prophets Birthday I think this is more to do with culture not the religion.

He also writes that: If someone celebrates Milaad with the love and respect of Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace], he will have a “big reward”. He says that in Muslim communities, Milaad-un-Nabi gatherings are only done with the respect and love of the Muslims for the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] [Iqtidaa’ as-siraat-il-Mustaqeem, page 297, by Hafidhh Ibn Taymiyyah] Hafidhh Ibn Kathir wrote that: There was once a King, Abu Sa’eed Malik Muzaffar - a man of good deeds. In his kingdom, wherever he saw a lack of water, he would build a well. He also established many Islamic study centers. Every year, he would spend half a million dinars on hosting a gathering of his people to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet [May Allah bless Him and grant Him peace] [Tareekh Ibn Kathir, see story of King Abu Sa’eed, Volume 13]

Very intelligent reply based on valid references from hadiths. May Allah reward you for speaking the truth and calling people to follow the sunnah.

There is ijma on Bidah types, read books of the greatest scholars who have gave fatwa on types bidahs 1-Imam Shafi (Ibn Hajar, Fath al-Bari, Vol. 4, p. 257) 2- Ibn Hazm (Tawfiq al-Ra’i, Al-Bid’ah, p. 88) 3- Imam Ghazali (Ihya Ulum al-Deen, Vol. 2, p. 3) 4- Ali al-Qari’ 5- Imam Nawawi ( Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari, 6:154) 6- Izz al-Din ibn ‘Abd al-Salam (Qawa’id al-Kubra, p. 133) 7- Imam Qastalani, al-Mawahib al-Laduniya, 10:496 8- Badr al-Din al-Ayni, Umdat al-Qari, 8:254) 9- Naqi Ali al-Hanafi, (Usul al-Rashad) 10- Ibn Rajab, Juami al-Ulum wa al-Hikam, Vol.1, p. 47) 11- Imam Shatibi (Shatibi, Al-Itisam, Vol. 1, p. 48) 12- Imam al-Lakhnawi (Iqamat al-Hujjah, P. 21-22). 13- Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani (Fath al-Bari) 14- Ibn Hajar Al-Haythami, al-Fath al-Mubin 15- Ibn Rajab, Juami al-Ulum wa al-Hikam 16- Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq

A wise was once said The next point that is important for us to realise is The issue of innovation(BIDI'A) a person feels they know more than the messenger (peace be upon him). The messenger (peace be upon be him) was sent to us in order to teach us how to worship Allah. That was the reason why he was sent. He was sent to teach us how the Almighty wants to be worshipped, so if anyone comes with an act of worship that was not taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him) he has directly insulted the messenger and also has insulted ALLAH Subhana wa Ta'ala. The reason is....what was the point of sending us a messenger? To teach us how to worship ALLAH! When we think we know better than him???? a'udhubillah May ALLAH protect us.

Tu zinda hai wallah tu zinda hai wallah! You're still alive in your blessed shrine, shaheed never die, he has left us in his physical form but his soul is here listening to every durood being sent upon him mashallah....sallu alall habib sallalahu alayhi wasallam! Be shak tu zinda hai...qyaamat tak.

You are soo right Dr Bilal our PROPHET never did it or any of the sahabi so why should we We have 2 eids to celebrate so we need to stick to that not create our own celebrations

We celebrate his birthday here in Senegal with pride and delight.. It's a whole week of celebration. Alhamdoulilah. We've been blessed by our love for the prophet.

The difference is, some people find reason to be happy on the birth of prophet PBUH and some find reason no to be happy on his birth. Its already been said by one of the greatest scholar ahmed raza khan barely, "thousands of eid sacrifice on the celebration of rabiyyul awwal, except IBLEES in the world every on is celebrating the wilaadath”. When abu jahal got the reward for celebrating the birth, how a momin be rewarded is unpredicted. May the iblees sunnah of weeping be Mubarak to all of you, we are happy in celebrating the birth. Alhamdulillah.

Our sahabies never celebrated the prophet's birthday so why we go forward from them

Celebrating the birth of Prophet SAW is akin to expressing thanks to Allah for bestowing great blessing.

Once a person said : "Siwae Iblees Ke Jahan Mai Sabhi Tu Khushiyan Mana Rahe Hai"

His unfortunate mistake is a genuine misunderstanding that the companions didn't celebrate his birth, when in fact, they did celebrate it, and him, and his love every day of their lives. Just not in a form of a western 'birthday '. They expressed it by singing talal badru alaina, by receiting poetry about him, by freeing a slave, by competing to get his leftover wudu water and his shaved hair after umrah, and even once by his uncle Jafar, radiyallahu anhu, doing an African dance in front of him after returning from Abysinia. The more genuine love you have, the more you will find creative ways to express it, in the ways Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa salam approved of, when done in front of him. His approvals are also part of the Sunnah, it's just that we may genuinely not have been aware of them. It would have simply been safer on the Day of Judgement to simply have said, 'I don't know', rather than to cut off for the Ummah halal expressions of love for the best of creation, sallallahu alaihi wa salam. Humbleness and gaining more knowledge in private before speaking and posting in public will help us to see other Muslims points of view, and thus avoid the harsh (ill founded) judgments that can create an high level of division in the community at a time when it is not necessary or appropriate.

Honestly, this is holier than thou. Pure fanaticism. How can celebrating someone's birthday be condemned. On the contrary, we Muslims should rejoice this day because this was the happiest day celebrated by all 124,000 prophets and Rehmatulil aal ammen was born, who will show us true path. Now where's the sense and logic not to celebrate such a day. We Khojas do cekebrate, but not by party, we give more charity to poor and when asked. We tell them, its the birthday of our prophet.

You can point your finger and say "Wahabi!" But he is right. Look at the logic .. in the first 300 years of Islam. No scholar.. no sahabi. NO ONE celebrated the birthday of the Prophet .. because the concept of celebrating a birthday was simply unknown to them. Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus .. so some muslims thought they could do better and celebrate the birthday of the Prophet. But this is a really easy cop out to show your love to the Prophet Muhammad once a year. If you really love the Prophet Muhammad you should fast on mondays .. because that was the day he was born. And by the way .. the common date for Mawlid is the 12th of Rabi' ul Awwal. And this is not even certain that the prophet wad born on this day.

Alhamdulillah for hidayah upon the Deen and Sunnah based on the early generation understanding

They displayed or kept in the muzium csrtain belonging or items of sheikh uthaimin and yet they question our loved for the prophet Muhammad saw. by celebrating his birthday.

What would u say when prophet kept fast on the day he was born?

Those who say mawlid is bidah didn’t actually comprehend the concept of bidah If I say that numerous sholars in the past said that mawlid is mustahab. The likeness of imam Asqalani the commentator of sahih al bukhari and imam As Suyuti the hafidth of Hadith and Faqih just to name a few. Then the argument that in the first few hundred years it wasn’t celebrated so it’s bidah actually indicates 2 things. That imam Asqalani didn’t understand the concept of bidah or the opponents of mawlid like dr Bilal phillips didn’t understand the concept of bidah I will go with imam Asqalani rather than mr Phillips

We will celebrate the Maulid till our last breath

Suppose I have recited the Quran on the day of Milad, recited Durood and Salam, recited Naat and chanted the slogans Takbir and Risalaat. So how do I quit / repent? Because all this is wrong according to you guys, isn't it?

SHAITAAN cried a lot the time of PROPHET BIRTH and today the follower of shaitan cry the time of MAWLID

Whoever follows blindly, so called, "saints" is right in the sight of grave worshippers, and whoever follows Quran and authentic sunnah is a "wahabi". May Allah give them correct understanding of Islam. In his whole lecture dr. Bilal never said, mohammed bin abdul wahab" said so or did so. He only gave references from quran and sunnah. Those who want to refute him, should do so with the help of supportive evidences from quran and sunnah.

Don't waist your time sir, the people who wants celebrate get together, eat together and pray together. If you don't want to involve stay home don't interfere with the people life, no explanation necessary. Thank you.

If it's good thing then if not that day then on which day it should be celebrated.???

Wahabis Stop misguiding people. Muslims celebrated prophet Mouhammad mawlid over a thousand years ago

What type of bid ah,, this,,, if somebody recite Quaran, and recite Naat,, How is it bidah

Mr Bilal Phillips-Did u sit and have a mutual discussion with other ulema of different beliefs?

Oh dear Allah please guide us on the right path and guide us to halal and protect us from halam ameen By the way brothers and sisters do you know the Hadith were prophet Muhammad PBUH said that He's scared that we are going to follow them step by step even if something leading us into danger we will follow them then the sahabi ask Him are you talking about Christian and Jewish? He said yes now look some Muslims are celebrating his birthday as Christians do on Christmas.... Authubillah.. 🤦‍♀️I told my boss this is Bida'a and she said noo it's not am here in UAE and according to what am seeing some Arabs are really going astray and they would have been an example for the entire world because we used to think that islam is more practiced in Arab countries but we were wrong may the almighty Allah have mercy on them and the entire umma

Labbaik labbaik ya Rasool Allah

Allah SWT guide me to be lazy in a good way cause to avoid mauldir rasul celebration that did not be given by the Almighty

The Ottoman Turks celebrated Mawlid!!!!

jazakumullahu bi khair ya shaik.

God bless you brother ; Best prayers be upon the last Messenger of Allah unfinitely untill to the infinity .

Swadakta ya Sheikh.May Allah azza wa jal continue to preserve you, increase your ilm and give you barakaat for efforts in spreading the correct knowledge of His deen.

Mashaallah may Allah bless you Rahma.Baraka. an keep you always happy and healthy.

Masha Allah very nice explanation

We have celebrated Mawlid for centuries . We make duaa , eat together & exchange greetings .Children get excited singing nashids. It is a joyous day . Now this is bidaa . Bidaa according who ? Wahabists , I do not see any thing wrong celebrating Mawlid through duaa , eating together and our children having a joyous day . May Allah guide us all to Sirat Almustaghim . Ameen .

The answer. within 1min and very clear. Allah guide us the straight path.

When sahaba's asked to Prophet (PBUH) why he is fasting on that day. He replied because it is his birthday. So, there is no other reference or evidence that during his lifetime or after his death publicly the day was observed. Perhaps sahabas (who opted) did observe his birthday individually by fasting at that day. But prophet (PBUH) did't ask sahahas to follow him to fast on his birthday. Neither 4 khalifa even observed his birthday publicly (it could be they may have fasted at that day or may be not. We don't know). After 400 years of his death when Egypt king saw Christians are celebrating Prophet Jesus (PBUH), he came up with that idea of celebrating our Prophet (PBUH) birthday and thereafter many muslim various parts of the world started to celebrate. So, one group of scholar given ruling that celebrating prophet's birthday is a good thing in islam. While other group of scholar ruled out celebrating prophet (PBUH) birthday as it contradicts with principle of islam. Their view is islam is a complete religion and all the method /way of worships has already been revealed during prophet's (PBUH) lifetime. Up to 400 years since his death there was nothing like today's Mawlid elebration. So these scholars opinion is why to do somethingn when there is no evidences and it may be treated as an addition (or innovation) to the originality of religion. So, their rulling is: muslims should be refrained of doing such things which is not in original islam. Only Allah (SWT) knows what is good and what is bad for us. And Prophet (PBUH) has taught us how to worship to Allah and in Islam's early days after his death sahabas,tabein and tabe tabein has followed exactly and perform worships to Allah what prophet (PBUH) has taught. These tabein and tabe tabein has traveled and scattered all over the world preaching islam the way their predecessors has thought them follow. Conclusion: Only Allah (Swt) will judge and accept those worships which Allah (Swt) want to. If many muslims thinks that celebrating Prophet (PBUH) birthday will bring additional good deeds to them at the day of judgement then Allah (Swt) will decide that (acceptable or not or either it is treated as addition to the religion--we don't know ). In the other hand muslims who does not celebrate this day publicly (but fast and keep on performing their normal daily prayer) they are in opinion of that, they are following fundamental worship of islam which sahabas did.

Muhammad uncle will be allow to enter heaven whenever the day the prophet was born arrives because he was very happy and rejoicing that day so why not we celebrate it as well

Saytan ibleesh never celebrate muhammad wiladat

Well done brother

Bilal Philip is a divisive character. He divides the community. There is no harm in remembering the Holy Prophet and acting upon his teachings.

What do say about Taraveeh Prayer? What about Kalma Taiyyaba? What about zer and zabar that were Added in the Qur'an in the time of Jalaaluddin-As-Suyyuti Rahimahullah In 900AH? What about Compiling of Qur'an?

Ma shaa Alloh!

I will celebrate prophet's birthday....those who have problem then get lost from here..I'm not here to fight...wahhabism is an innovation..sunni and shias are old ....we love prophet Muhammad and we will celebrate those who don't want to celebrate then don't celebrate but don't eat my head..its my life my rules get over it..

Just because he contributed a lot in terms of comparative religious studies doesn't mean he is the ambassador of everything about Islam. He can be wrong, and he was definitely wrong here.

So whats wrong if we celebrate our prophet birthday .

Masha Allah. Ya Dr.

Thats the kind of preachers u get when they are self thought, that's browsing through internet and getting the resource to discuss, u need a spiritual leader to tell you what u shud know about Islam,ilmin zahir wal Batin Is important for u to be able to discuss topics like this.

Wat is different between him and all humans you must explain

The prophet (s.a.w) did not comply the holy Quran which he could have done’ neither did Abubakari /Omar The holy Quran was complied by Uthman so from your argument is the Quran (l mean putting itt together a book)an innovation .

But rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم celebrated his mwlid by fasting. روى مسلم (1162) عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ الِاثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ : ( فِيهِ وُلِدْتُ وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ ) .

The Sahaba praised rasullallah with poetry

He recognised his birthday by fasting, and if its bid'aa does it mean those who celebrate it will enter jahanam for that? Since every bid'aa leads to hell...

He's not saying sallallahu alaihi wasallam right way

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating Milawd. Change my mind 😪

The ayat sir recited for explanation of mawlid.... According to u is interpretation... U r interpretatin... U miss guidin...

On shayhan hate and cried about mawlidan Nabi And Indeed everyone rejoices except for Shaytan and his counterparts, because: أن إبليس رن أربع رنات حين لعن وحين أهبط وحين ولد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وحين أنزلت الفاتحة Translation: Iblis cried loudly four times, first when Allah declared him as cursed, second when he was thrown out, Third When Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) was born and fourth when Surah al-Fatiha was revealed [Ibn Kathir in Al Bidayah wan-Nihayah, Volume No. 2, Page No. 166

For the reason why I don’t celebrate my birthday anymore is because I learn that in the satanic Bible ,the number favorite celebration is Birthday and the origin of the birthday is from paganism because when blowing the candle you make a wish and the fire worshiping people use to do that.

We r not celebrating birthday but we r thanking allah to give us Prophet Mohammed

Did rasulullah saw fast on every Monday because it was the day he was born on or not, it is stated in Saheeh Muslim, al-Nasaa’i and Abu Dawood, which says that when he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays, he said: “That is the day on which I was born…”

Question: Is Celebrating Eid Milad Un Nabi ﷺ a Bid'at? What is Bid'at and Is every Bid'at wrong? Answer: Part: 1 Concept of Bid'at in Ahadees e Rasool ﷺ and the different between Bid'at e Hasana and Saiya: مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ (Incomplete) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is a reward for him for this (act of goodness) and reward of that also who acted according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards; and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent, there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acted upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burden. (Incomplete) Sahih Muslim: 2351 (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) Word San'na (سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً) was used which means create or invent. The word Sunnat here doesn't mean Sunnat e Rasool ﷺ, it means a way (Tariqa) Imam Nawawi (رحمة الله عليه) wrote in his Shara e Sahih Muslim (Page 327) for Sahih Muslim (2351) that it is (Mukhasis) of Sunnan e Abi Dawood (4607) which says "That every new way is Bid'at" He says that it means that every new way (Bid'at) that is Evil or harmful is not correct but if the (Bid'at) is beneficial for Ummah then it is correct in the lights of Sahih Muslim (2351) He also says that there are 5 types of Bid'ats: 1:Muharrama 2:Wajiba 3:Mandoba 4:Mustahab 5:Mubha Imam Shafi (رحمة الله عليه) said that Bid'at has two types Saiya, and Hasana. Fathul Bari (Jild 13 Page 253) Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala (Jild 8 Page 266) Sahaba (Khulafa e Rashideen and Others (رضي الله عنهم) Inventing new things (Bid'at) in the lifetime of Rasool Allah ﷺ and after Rasool Allah ﷺ The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib. When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rak`at (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rak`at and then said, Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception. (He then recited the poetic verse):-- I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rak`at prayer (before being killed). (Incomplete) Sahih Bukhari: 3405 (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) Hazrat Khubaib (رضی اللہ عنہ) did Bid'at (invented a new way) and before him no one did this in Islam. Remember, it also happened in the life time of Rasool Allah ﷺ and he didn't objected but praised him as he did in Sahih Muslim (2351) قَالَ عُمَرُ نِعْمَ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ، وَالَّتِي يَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ‏.‏ يُرِيدُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ‏.‏(Incomplete) I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night. Sahih Bukhari: 2010 (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) Hazart Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) himself called it an excellent Bid'at ( نعم البدعة هذه). I entered the Mosque (of the Prophet) and saw `Abdullah bin `Umar sitting near the dwelling place of Aisha (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا‎) and some people were offering the Duha prayer. We asked him about their prayer and he replied that it was a heresy (Bid'at), (Incomplete) Sahih Bukhari: 1775 He used the word Bid'at (بِدْعَةٌ‏‏) Syedaya Ayesha (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا‎) said, I never saw the Prophet (ﷺ) offering the Duha prayer but I always offer it. Sahih Bukhari: 1177 Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani says, that Hazrat Ibne Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) used to call Namaz e Duha "Chasht" a Bid'at and that It is one of the best Bid'at created by people. Fathul Bari (Jild 3 Page 67) Riwayat: 1176 The person who increased the number of Adhans for the Jumua prayers to three was `Uthman bin `Affan and it was when the number of the (Muslim) people of Medina had increased. In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) there was only one Mu'adh-dhin and the Adhan used to be pronounced only after the Imam had taken his seat (i.e. on the pulpit). Sahih Bukhari: 913 Hazrat Abdul Ibn e Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) said that the First call to prayer (Azaan) of Jummah is Bid'at which was invented in Hazrat Usman (رضی اللہ عنہ)'s period. Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Jild 4 Page 132) Hadees: 5479 Abū Bakr told me that ‘Umar had come to him and drawn attention to the extensive slaughter among Qur’ān readers at the battle of al- Yamāma, saying he was afraid that if readers continued to be killed in large numbers at other battles a large amount of the Qur’ān would be lost, and that he therefore thought he should give command that the Qur’ān be collected. He had asked. ‘Umar how he could do a thing which God’s messenger had not done, and ‘Umar, swearing by God that this was best, had kept at him till God made him inclined to do that, and he came to hold ‘Umar’s opinion about the matter. Zaid told how Abū Bakr said to him, “You are an intelligent young man whom we do not suspect and you have been writing down the revelation which came to God’s messenger, so search for the Qur’ān and collect it. Sahih Bukhari: 4986 Mishkat Al-Masabih: 2220 (Bid'at e Hasana) One can argue that some of these Ahadees mentioned above are about Khulafa e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم) and Rasool Allah ﷺ said that you should follow my Sunnat and Sunnat of my Khulafa e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم) (Tirmidhi 2676) but this argument can easily be debunked by these Ahadees since you can clearly see the words used by Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ to describe their acts and how Syedana Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) use the word Bid'at (بِدْعَةٌ‏‏) for Taraweeh (which was present in time of Rasool Allah ﷺ) and Syedana Abu Bakr (رضی اللہ عنہ) was reluctant to do an act that is new to Islam until Hazrat Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) convinced him. Details of Tirmidhi: 2676 We can clearly see an indication where He ﷺ said: 'I order you to have Taqwa of Allah, and to listen and obey, even in the case of an Ethiopian slave. Indeed, whomever among you lives, he will see much difference. Beware of the newly invented matters, for indeed they are astray. Whoever among you sees that, then he must stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khulafa', cling to it with the molars.'" (Incomplete) Tirmidhi: 2676 (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) This portion "whomever among you lives, he will see much difference" is indicating towards a new way (Bid'at) which occurred at the last part of Khilafat e Rashida and specially in the time of Syedana Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ‎) when "Malookiyat" and "Rebellion " of Khulafa started when people left the way of Rasool Allah ﷺ and stood against the Khalifa e Rashid (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ‎) So the narrative which is created by the people who oppose the celebration of Milad e Nabi (ﷺ) by calling it a bid'at and that it is not in Islam, can't explain the acts done in the Ahadees above without calling Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ Wrong or Bid'ati (MazAllah). Also, they celebrate the Day of Syedana Umar and Abu Bakr and other Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ with the Niyat of Sawab which clearly is a Bid'at and they also do Ijtemats on Weekly, Monthly and Annually bases which are Bid'at too. So if their innovations (Bid'ats) are created for the benefit of Deen, then these act can't even be compared to the Day Rasool Allah ﷺ came into this world. It is the most blessed and the happiest day for Muslim Ummah and the Whole Humanity.

So many things like this in Islam today. Brothers and sisters follow things they have been told and taught, saying it's from Quran and Sunnah, but they don't know it's false. Same as shahada. We follow Quran, and the Quran is clear on these points. If we celebrate Muhammad pbuh, we must celebrate all prophets the same. If we pray for Muhammad pbuh, we must pray for all prophets the same.

Allahuma Sallie ALLa Saeedina Muhammad Mustafa ul Ameen (saw)☝️🤲❤

“There is nothing in the Qur’aan to say that we should celebrate the Mawlid or birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet himself (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not do this or command anyone to do it, either during his lifetime or after his death. Indeed, he told them not to exaggerate about him as the Christians had exaggerated about Jesus (upon whom be peace). He said: “Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about the son of Maryam. I am only a slave, so say, ‘The slave of Allaah and His Messenger.’” we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) were the people who loved the Prophet most. Was it reported that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who loved him the most, celebrated the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Was it reported that ‘Umar, who ruled for twelve years, or ‘Uthmaan, did this? Was it reported that ‘Ali, his relative and foster son, did this? Was it reported that any of the Sahaabah did this? No, by Allaah! Is it because they were not aware of its importance, or did they not truly love the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? No one would say such a thing except one who has gone astray and is leading others astray.” -islamicqa.info

Can u read the 2 rakats before the azaan

Alhamdulillah, nice explanation.

جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا‎ very well explained

Good explanation and a very convincing evidence . We don't have to open a door for our enemy the shaytan. But giving special respect for the day remembering the life of our beloved prophet is so important but shouldn't be made part of ibada.

The Prophet PBUH passed away on 12th of Rabbi ul Awal. And that is the day they chose to celebrate. Oh! What ignorance can make you do. There is no solid opinion for his date of birth. Some say it was 2nd of Rabi ul Awal, some say 4th, some 6th, 8th, 9th, and so many more, including 12th. Some even mention dates in Muharraham, Ramadan, or Safr. There is no unified concensus for that. So, to celebrate his birth on the day he (SAW) passed away is nothing short of blasphemy. May Allah guide us all to a path that is closer to him.

Mr Phillips can u quote one ayat from the Quran or hadees that what the companions did not do we cannot do that

Imam Bukhari writes that: when Abu Lahab died, someone from his household saw him in a dream, they asked him what happened in the grave he said “I am being punished severely, but on Mondays, I get water from my finger with which I am freed Thuwayba, (Bukhari, “Kitaab-un-Nikaah”) This Proves that a Kaafir, Abu Lahab, was happy on the day of the birth of the Prophet (pbuh) and was rewarded by having his punishment reduced. If this is true, then indeed Allah will bless a Muslim who rejoices the birth of the Prophet (pbuh). when someone show's you proof then you should respect it. like you respect the Holy Quran by putting it in a High place. so proof from Hadith should be respected aswell. So Peace on him (Yahya) (a.s) the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)! So Peace is on me (Jesus) the day I was born, the day that I die and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again). Iblis cried loudly four times, Third time devil cried When Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) was born. what does Mawlid-celebration mean? it means being happy, rejoice on Prophet (sallam) birth. what do we do on Mawlid celebration? we do Seerah of Prophet (sallam), read naat, read Holy Quran. are you happy or sad on Prophet (sallam) birth? yes or no? is it Harram, sin or biddah to do Seerah of Prophet Muhammed (salla Allahu alayhi wasallam) ?? is it sin or Biddah to do Nasheed? is it sin or Biddah to read Quran? plus we don't do it one day, we do did every other month aswell. you bring me proof where is Harram or Biddah to do Seerah of Prophet (sallam), reading Naat, reading Holy Quran? what do you say about your own scholars who Salafi follow for example Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn Kathir and Ibn Qayyim, Imam al- Suyuti said about Prophet (sallam) birth. ?? why did your own scholars allow it? from "the Collected Fatwas," ("Majma' Fatawi Ibn Taymiyya,") Vol. 23, p. 163 and also in Vol. 22, page 253 of the Collected Fatwas, King Khalid ibn `Abdul `Aziz edition ("Majma'a Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya") and page 498 of "Madarij as-Salikin," also check "Madarij as- Salikin," Vol. 1 zer zabar pesh etc in Holy Quran came after so many years after prophet (sallam) so is it got to do with wordly or islam and is it Bidah or not? in Prophet (sallam) time they were no two adhaans for Jumu'ah, this came after so many years after so is two Azan for Jumuah.. is it worldly or is it to do with Islam? and is it bidah? because according salafi if Prophet (sallam) never did it or never told anyone to do it. then its bidah thats what salafi believe. But they accept the two azans on Friday in masjid and zer zabar pesh in the Holy Quran. why do salafi pick and choose sahih hadith that suits them? why do salafi say to they own scholars they made a mistake, but say shirk, harram and biddah to other deobandi and barelvi scholars? why salafi are double standards? why salafi are biased? why salafi don't accept the proof and evidence. why only look one side of the talk and not look on the other side what they got to say?

Alhamudulillah good explanation indeed people should understand every task they carry in religion Allah bless you brother 🙏 ❤ 💙

so if i say Allah every 3 mins wud that b inovation?? and b bid'ah!?

I don't celebrate his birthday, I got to hear the talk about his great stories ,n because I'm always sitting for any talks in the mosq after Salah daily ? Why wuld I walk out of one ? ... I even stay if a traveling jammah is giving dars?

Brother Bilal . it's not as simple as you put. This is why you are wrong. 👇 The Celebration of Mawlid in Light of the Shafi’i School The present era has seen several works authored for and against the celebration of the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). In short, those opposed to this celebration are either adherents of one of the four major schools [mutamadhhibin] or non-adherents [present day salafiyyah]. The primary contention of both parties is that the celebration is an action that both the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) and his companions did not practice. In response to this contention, several scholars authored rejoinders. Some dedicated independent writings to the subject, while others addressed it in larger works. A different approach is required to respond to each of these parties. The works of the scholars from the past suffice as a response to the non-adherents of the madhahib. In brief, their arguments may be condensed as follows: 1. The Prophet’s (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) non-performance does not indicate impermissibility [at-tark la yaqtadi at-tahrim]. The agreed-upon hadith of Khalid ibn Walid eating a lizard after the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) abstained serves as ample proof to establish this point. 2. Not all innovation is necessarily misguidance. Consequently, scholars divided innovation into two: good and bad. Past luminaries who explicitly held to the bifurcation of innovation include amongst many: al-Imam Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi’i, al-Imam al-Bayhaqi, al-Imam an-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, and Imam al-Suyuti. 3. Within the sunnah, there exists certain narrations that create the impression that the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) actually celebrated his own birthday. Imam Muslim narrates that the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) was asked regarding the fasting of Monday, to which he replied, “That is the day on which I was born.” 4. Other reports suggest that the companions rejoiced and sang poetry regarding the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). The Prophet’s uncle, Abbas ibn AbdilMuttalib, composed poetry commemorating the birth of the Prophet (sallaAllahu alayhi wasallam) and then sought permission to recite. The Prophet not only permitted it, but prayed for his uncle asking Allah to protect his mouth. Then, Abbas (radiyaAllahu anhu) recited what was possibly the first mawlid ever, “And when you were born (O Prophet) the earth shone bright and the horizon was radiant.” 5. Legal analogy. This point’s chief proponent is the great scholar and hafidh, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. He noted that when the Messenger (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) arrived in Madinah, he found the Jews fasting on the 10th of Muharram and enquired as to why they were fasting. They replied that it was the day on which Allah saved Musa and drowned the Pharaoh; and therefore, they fasted in thanks and gratitude to Allah. The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) then stated, “I am more entitled to Musa than you,” and accordingly fasted while instructing the companions to also fast. Ibn Hajar argues that in this report, lies sound evidence to celebrate and show gratitude for a favour that Allah has bestowed on any particular day. Now, in response to the adherents of the madhahib, the central consideration is what a particular madhab has to say regarding the issue (i.e. the permissibility of mawlid). This is established in Shaf’i fiqh, and therefore, should be dealt with accordingly. The jurists’ first approach to any fiqh issue is one of naql. Only in the absence of naql does one move to the investigation of nusus (the texts of Quran and Sunnah) or reason. An opinion within our School does exist, and therefore obviates the need for an investigation of nusus. Opening the door to change the position of the madhhab on this mas’alah would allow others to do the same for other masa’il. A perfunctory survey is given below of scholars in the Shafi’i School who held that the mawlid is recommended: 1. al-Imam an-Nawawi’s shaykh, head of the famous Syrian school, Dar al-Hadith al-Ashrafiyyah, the great Shafi`i jurist and traditionist, Abdur Rahman ibn Ismail, well-known as Abu Shamah. He states in his Risalah, “And among the best innovated actions in these times are those actions that take place every year coinciding with the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) such as charity, good deeds, personal beautification, joy, and so forth, as they speak of love and reverence for the beloved Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallm)…” 2. Hafiz ibn Hajar al-Asqalani’s shaykh, Sirajud Din Umar ibn Raslan ash-Shafi`i. In al-Mawaz wal Iitibar, Al-Miqrizi mentioned that Shaykh al-Bulqini, his sons, and the judges of the four madhahib of his time, would all attend the mawlid of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). 3. The renowned commentator of al-Imam al-Bukhari’s Sahih, Hafidh al-Dunya, Allamah Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. In addition to the above, his student al-Imam as-Suyuti related that he opined that if the mawlid only consists of good actions, then it will be considered a good innovation. 4. Al-Imam as-Suyuti authored an entire treatise on the recommendation of the mawlid celebration. 5. In his Fatawa, Al-Hafiz as-Sakhawi mentions that even though the mawlid was not practiced by our pious predecessors, it still holds great virtue. As-Sakhawi also authored a mawlid. 6. Al-Imam al-Qastalani asks Allah in his al-Mawahib al-Laduniyyah to shower His mercy upon the people who celebrate the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). 7. Allamah Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, who’s views represent the opinion from which fatwa is given in the Shafi`i school, approves of the mawlid in his al-Fatawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra. To date, I have not seen any of the School’s classical jurists condemning the practice. Thus, the Shafi’i School’s official view is that the celebration of his (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) birthday is not just permissible, but recommended. Accordingly, the modern Shafi’i scholars who have recommended this celebration include: the former Shaykh of al-Azhar University Hasanayn Makhluf, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti, Egypt’s official mufti Dr. Ali Jumuah, and the great scholar and spiritual guide, sayyidi al-Habib Umar ibn Hafidh, amongst many others. In some parts of the Muslim world, the mawlid practiced is not specific to the month of Rabiul Awwal. Such is observed by the Ba’Alawi family and tariqah. Their mawlid, which in essence is the Prophetic biography composed into poetry, is celebrated on a weekly basis, generally on a Thursday evening, throughout the year. The major aim behind the reading is to familiarise the public concerning the events that took place in the Prophet’s (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) life, thus instilling in the hearts love for Allah’s greatest beloved (al-Habib al-’Aazam), Muhammad ibn Abdillah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). The aim of this paper is not to change the views of those who oppose the mawlid, but rather to create an environment of tolerance where individuals, both for and against it, can appreciate the stances of one another. The fact that al-Imam ash-Shafi`i differed with his teacher, al-Imam Malik, did not mean that he, ash-Shafi`i, became hostile towards him. Let not a mas’alah mukhtalaf fihi be the cause of engaging in activity - such as speaking ill, backbiting, and so forth - these are haram by consensus.

Very true

Did the prophet organize Quran reading contest????

The Qur’an also singles out the birthday as an important event and worthy of mention. As one example, Allah commands us to send salaam on the day Prophet Yahya (as) was born i.e. his birthday. ‘And send salaam on him the day he was born, and the day he dies and the day he will be raised up to life (again).’ (Q.19:15) If the celebration of birthdays is an innovation and is prohibited then why would Allah single out the birthday of Prophet Yahya (as)? If Allah is ordering mankind to convey greetings to Prophet Yahya (as) then how can one say it is prohibited to do the same for the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on his birthday, who is the last and greatest of all Prophets?

I totally disagree with you and Iwhen u to tell me what is wrong with that you can do it every day it has no date

We love our prophet more then anything in this world why shouldn’t we celebrate his arrival as the mercy for us. And the fact is there isn’t a single verse from the Quran or the Hadith which stops us from doing this.

Clear! No ifs, no buts. Move on. The Prophet instructed people to spread the message of Islam, just celebrating his birthday isn't enough...

AlhamduliLlah. Jazakallahu kheir
