Subhanallah..

Whole world was in celebration of mawlid of our Prophet SALLALLAHU ALAIHISSALAM except shaitaan malun.

This has happened before and it's something that fascinates science. Some say it's about levels of adrenaline. I think there's a spiritual force which emanates and then of course as a result you'll find adrenaline spiking. There's mothers who have found their babies stuck under a car and have lifted the car with their own hands. This is a gift Allah gives to humans.

Ma sha Allah beautiful child from Handsome Sheikh my Allah bless you sheikh Hamza

may allah make shaykh hamza's kids even more knowledgeable than him and grant them success in this world and the next ameen.

Love Shaykh Hamza Sahib

♥️

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Alhamdulilah!

MashaAllah. Ishaq at 13:13, he is fighting to stay awake. :)

Adrenalin

if that was permissable than sahaba, tabi'een, khulefau-rashedin would have celebrated. i think what id does it very much leans to other religions that celebrate birth of early prophets. lastly Muhammad a.s. would have leave us with reminder to celebrate his birth rather warned us not to do. no hadith actualy apoints this blasphemy. its bidat.

I'm really disappointed to hear this from Hamza Yusuf, this indeed shows that the Ulama of Ahlu Ussunnah knew what they were doing when they were warning against his preaching.

Allahumma barik umra hamza yusuf. Amin

We all need to live in our heart space!

Your point please?

Masha Allah..I love Issac and Shekh Hamza Yusuf..Allah bless u both..I love his reactions and innocence..Allah bless you..Aameen

Alhamdulillah !

Jazza kalla kier !

Allahu Akbar!!! I Love those Shaykhs!

Didn’t think it was possible to love Shaykh Hamza even more 😭💙💙💙

Asalomu aleykum Shaikh Hamza's son is so so adorable MashaAllah May Allah SWT protects your family and all people surround you .Much love Ishaq !!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸🌹🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

1000 year does not make a Sunnah... The way of the Prophet makes a Sunnah

The following is a list of countries where Prophet's ﷺ Birthday/Mawlid/Maulud is a public/national holiday. AFRICAN COUNTRIES: some of the Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Togo. MIDDLE EAST: Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestinian National Authority, Syria, United Arab Emirets/UAE, Yemen (11 out of total 14 except Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) ASIA: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan OTHER: Fiji, Guyana, A TOTAL OF 47 COUNTRIES WORLD-WIDE OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE MAWLID AS A PUBLIC/NATIONAL HOLIDAY, SOME OF THEM ARE NOT EVEN MUSLIM DOMINATED (INDIA, SRI-LANKA, FIJI, GUYANA, TANZANIA, MALI ETC.) THERE ARE OTHER PLACES LIKE CANADA, USA, EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND SEVERAL AFRICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES WHERE MUSLIM MASSES CELEBRATE MAWLID DAY. Source - Dept of Awqaaf - UAE Thus we say to the rejecters of Mawlid: based on the rule you have attempted to found, that is, that whoever does anything that the Prophet ﷺ or his Companions did not do is committing innovation, it would follow that the Prophet ﷺ did not complete the religion for his nation, and that the Prophet ﷺ did not convey to the nation what they should do. No one says this or believes this except a heretic defecting from the religion of Allah. To the doubters of Mawlid we declare, "Based on what you say, we convict you." For you have innovated in the basics of worship a large number of things that the Prophet ﷺ did not do nor did his Companions, the Generation after the Companions, or the Generation after them. For instance: -Congregating people behind one Imam to pray Salat al Tahajjud after Salat Al Tarawih, in the two Holy Mosques and other mosques. - Reciting the Prayer of Completion of the Qu'ran in Salat al Tarawih and also in Salat al Tahajjud. - Designating the 27th night of Ramadan to complete reading the entire Qu'ran in the two Holy Mosques. - A caller saying, after Salat al Tarawih, in the Qiyam prayer, "May Allah reward you." - Founding organizations which did not exist in the time of the Prophetﷺ , such as Islamic universities, societies for committing the Qu'ran to memory, and offices for missionary work, and committees for enjoining good and forbidding evil. We are not objecting to these things, since they are forms of good innovation. We merely list these innovations to point out that those who oppose Mawlid clearly contradict their own rule stating that anything that neither the Prophet ﷺ nor his Companions did is innovation. And since they claim that all innovation is bad, they themselves are guilty.

Shaykh Qardawi Approves of Celebrating Mawlid "Actually, celebrating the Prophet's birthday means celebrating the birth of Islam..." -- Shaykh Yusuf Al-Qardawi Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, likely the most renowned Salafi scholar of the 20th century, in replying to the question on whether Mawlid should be celebrated replied: We all know that the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not celebrate the Prophet's birthday, Hijrah or the Battle of Badr, because they witnessed such events during the lifetime of the Prophet who always remained in their hearts and minds. Sa`d Ibn Abi Waqqaas said that they were keen on telling their children the stories of the Prophet's battles just as they were keen on teaching them the Qur'an. Therefore, they used to remind their children of what happened during the Prophet's lifetime so they did not need to hold such celebrations. However, the following generations began to forget such a glorious history and its significance. So such celebrations were held as a means of reviving great events and the values that we can learn from them. p Unfortunately, such celebrations include some innovations when they should actually be made to remind people of the Prophet's life and his call. Actually, celebrating the Prophet's birthday means celebrating the birth of Islam. Such an occasion is meant to remind people of how the Prophet lived. Allah Almighty says: "Verily in the Messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the last Day, and remembereth Allah much." (Al-Ahzab: 21) By celebrating the Prophet's Hijrah, we should teach them values such as sacrifice, the sacrifice of the Companions, the sacrifice of `Ali who slept in the Prophet's place on the night of the Hijrah, the sacrifice of Asmaa' as she ascended the Mountain of Thawr. We should teach them to plan the way the Prophet planned for his Hijrah, and how to trust in Allah as the Prophet did when Abu Bakr told him: "We could be seen so easily, the Prophet replied saying: "O Abu Bakr! What do you think of two when Allah is their third?" "Have no fear, for Allah is with us." (At-Tawbah: 40) We need all these lessons and such celebrations are a revival of these lessons and values. I think that these celebrations, if done in the proper way, will serve a great purpose, getting Muslims closer to the teachings of Islam and to the Prophet's Sunnah and life. As for celebrating `Ashooraa', the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, celebrated this day by fasting only. He asked the Jews why they fasted on that day and they told him that it was the day that Allah saved Moses and the people of Israel. The Prophet replied saying: "We have more of a right to Moses than you." So he fasted on that day and ordered the people to fast on that day. He also said near the end of his life: "By Allah, if I lived longer I would fast on the 9th of Muharram." That is, that he would fast on the 9th and the 10th in order to be different from the Jews who fast on the 10th only. However, some of the Sunnis celebrate `Ashura as if it were a feast. The Shi`ah consider it a day of sadness and mourning, but all such things are innovations and are completely un-Islamic. As for the second part of the question [what is exact birth date of the Prophet (s)], the exact date of the Prophet's birth is disputed , but it is most likely to be on Monday, 9th Rabee`Al-Awwal (20th or 22nd of April, 571 AC), the same year in which the invasion of the Elephants took place against the Ka`bah. And he, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away on Monday 12, Rabee` Al-Awwal in the eleventh year of Hijrah (8 June 632 AC.) Allah Almighty knows best. [Source: Mufti Islam Online Fatwa Committee Date: Date 19/Apr/2001: Fatwa ID: 34150] May Allah bless Shaykh Al-Qardawi for asserting the truth!

thank you very much for sharing this with us!

هذا من كرامة الأولياء

let's see you pick up a Chevrolet impalla and not call it a miracle. lol these Awliyas are living giants.. may Allah guise us all to righteous teachersss....Ameen

How to celebrate maulid in deen? By reciting poem and conducting rally? why there is no clear cut form of maulid celebration in hadith or fiqh as in other forms of worship like salah or zakah? How do we confirm it's on Rabi ul awal 12 when there are difference of opinions like 8th and 10th and many others, including change of months, except we know it's on a monday..

Hi brother, the title is quite misleading and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf wasn't even talking about the miracle 'performed' by Dr Umar. That would paint a bad image for both of them. Hope something could be clarified.

ibn taymiyyah was full of kufr statements in his books, saying Allah is in a direction, a body etc. full blown mujasim kafir! ya Shaykh why don't you just say it the way it is and stop praising deviant people! I don't understand why you think its a wise decision just so you can get the these wahabiz convinced that mawlid is permissible them you're getting it twisted.

islamqa.info/en/148053 Praise be to Allah. Firstly: The biographers differed concerning the date of the birth of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), but they are agreed that he died on the twelfth of Rabee‘ al-Awwal, 11 AH. This is the day that is celebrated by the common folk, who call it Mawlid or the birthday of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). For more information on this matter, please see the answer to question no. 125690 Secondly: There is no such thing in Islam as the so-called “Prophet’s birthday”. Neither the Sahaabah nor the Taabi‘een nor the imams or leading scholars of Islam who came after them acknowledged any such day, let alone celebrated it. Rather this festival was introduced by some innovators among the ignorant baatinis (followers of esoteric sects), then the common folk in many regions followed this innovation. We have previously explained in detail that celebrating this occasion is a kind of innovation. Please see the answers to questions no. 10070, 13810 and 70317. See also the book by Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) criticising this innovation at the following link (in Arabic): islamqa.info/ar/ref/books/94 Thirdly: Some of those who love the Sunnah, who have been influenced by what they see of celebrations in their countries, think that they can be safe from falling into innovation by getting together with their families and making special food for this occasion, which they eat together. Some of them gather with their friends and relatives for the same purpose, and others gather with the people to read the biography of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or to listen to religious lectures. Similar to that is your good intention of getting together and instilling a spirit of pride in Islam in western, non-Muslim countries. But in fact all of these intentions do not make those gatherings of theirs Islamically acceptable; rather they are reprehensible innovations. Indeed, if you are looking for a festival to celebrate, then the two Eids of al-Fitr and al-Adha are the only Eids of the Muslims; if you want any eid apart from that, then in our view Friday is the eid of the week, so gather on that day to offer Jumu‘ah prayer and to instil pride in Islam. If it is not possible for you to do that, then there are many days in the year, and you can gather on some other occasion, that is not an innovated festival; rather it should be on some permissible occasion, such as a wedding or a gathering for a meal, or an ‘aqeeqah, or to offer congratulations. Any of these may be occasions for doing the things you mention, such as strengthening bonds, getting together and encouraging one another to adhere to Islam. There follow some fatwas by the scholars concerning the ruling on those who gather with such intentions on that occasion. 1. Imam Abu Hafs Taaj ad-Deen al-Faakihaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said, discussing different types of Mawlids: (i) When a man organises it at his on expense for his family, friends and children, and in that gathering they do not do any more than eat food; they do not commit any sins. This is what we have described as an abhorrent and reprehensible innovation, because it was not done by any of the early righteous people, who are the fuqaha’ and leading scholars of Islam. Al-Mawrid fi ‘Aml al-Mawlid, p. 5 2. Ibn al-Haaj al-Maaliki (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning the ruling on celebrating the Prophet’s birthday without the evils of music, singing and free mixing between men and women: If it is free of (those evils) and he only makes food and intends it to be for the Mawlid, and he invites others to come and eat, and he avoids everything mentioned above, it is still an innovation just because of the intention, because it is adding something to the religion, and it was not the practice of the earliest generations (the Sahaabah and Taabi‘een), and following the practice of the earliest generations is more appropriate. Rather doing so is a must and nothing should be added that is contrary to their way, because they were the most eager of people to follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and to venerate him and his Sunnah, and they were pioneers in doing so. But there is no report that any of them ever intended to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday. We are their followers, so we should be content with what they were content with. It is known that we should follow them in terms of knowledge and practice, as Shaykh Imam Abu Taalib al-Makki (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book. Al-Madkhil, 2/10 3. And he (may Allah have mercy on him) said: And some of them are cautious to avoid that - i.e., listening to haraam things - and they do the Mawlid by reading al-Bukhaari and so on instead of that. Even though reading hadeeth in and of itself is one of the greatest acts of worship that bring one closer to Allah, and there is great blessing and much good in it, that only applies on condition that it be done in an appropriate, Islamically acceptable manner, not with the intention of the Mawlid. Do you not see that prayer is one of the greatest means of drawing closer to Allah, may He be exalted, but nevertheless if a person does it at a time other than the time prescribed for it, it is blameworthy and contrary to Islam. If this applies to the prayer, then what you think about other deeds? Al-Madkhil, 2/25 See also the answer to question no. 117651 To sum up: It is not permissible for you to gather on that innovatied occasion for the purpose of what you mention of getting together and offering sincere advice. You can achieve these noble aims on some occasions other than this; you have the whole year to organise gatherings on any day. We hope that Allah, may He be exalted, will guide and help you to do good deeds and increase you in guidance.

Meant charity of the speech.

Nice Nasheeds in the background but they are interfering with charity of this speech.

Ya Allah, I was there when he said this!! I love these scholars so much, may Allah (swt) preserve them all! True gems of our time. They have completely changed my lives for the better Alhamdulillah. Miss them :( oh Dr. Umar, please come to Toronto soon. We all miss you.

I am from India, and we proudly celebrate Milad Un Nabi, we know it is permitted is Islam.

This is so beautiful.. may Allah bless these amazing Sheiks who spread all this knowledge

8:44 "...he had blue eyes, and that was obviously evidence (i.e. that he was a Jew)." - LOL :'D

where is the full lecture? TIA

Hamza Yusuf introduced his son, referring to him as Ishaq. I doubt that Shaykh Yusuf's children ever are allowed to be on KZfaq (or atleast not without supervision), but if he does see this video and read the comments, hopefully he'll understand that gender is often not clear to others with children his age, and this is completely normal and as Allah intended (allahu alim).

Where's the rest?

That story was well funny : ) lol

jzk for this..truly amazing
