Islam To Celebrate or not to Celebrate Milad un Nabi (S.A.A.W). - >>   Show Printable Version  Show Printable Version   Email this Page  Email this Page   02-10-2011, 06:06 PM

Some of us celebrate it with great devotion and diligence, while some of us are against it with an equally
great vengeance. Some say it is our religious duty while others say it is nothing but bid'ah.
People argue about it. Families split up, friends forsake each other. And sometimes people literally fight
over it and hurt one another.
So what is it that I am talking about?
I am talking about celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam), the Mawlid or
Milad, as some of us say.
Yes, the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal came and went. But, ever wondered..... what is the reality regarding the
celebration of the birth of our beloved Prophet anyway?
Let's examine the facts.
First of all, whenever a Muslim is faced with a problem or confusing situation, what are we supposed to
do? Allaah tells us:
“O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims)
who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His
Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final
determination” [Nisaa’:59]
Referring it to Allaah and His Messenger means to turn to Allaah's Book and the Sunnah of the Prophet
(Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam).
1. What does the Qur'aan say about the Mawlid?
Nothing. Yes that's right.....NOTHING. There is absolutely nothing in the Qur'aan that tells us to
celebrate the birthday of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam). Not one single ayah.
You see, all acts of worship are tawqeefi which means that they are not subject to personal opinion and
it is not permissible to do any acts of worship except those which are approved by Sharee'ah. So, for
example, I cannot pick a special day or time, say the 22nd of every month, and start celebrating that day
as a form of worship. Why? Because there is nothing in the Sharee'ah that permits me to do that. Also, I
cannot start praying three raka'ah for Fajr from tomorrow, even if I want to worship Allaah more,
because Fajr Salah is only two rakaat as commanded upon us by the Sharee'ah.
And similarly, if there is no order for us to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa
Sallam), then we don't

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever introduces into this affair of ours something that we have not commanded it is to be rejected." [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim).

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.

Did any of the imaams – Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi’i, Ahmad, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen – do this or command others to do it or say that it was good? By Allaah, no!

It was not even mentioned during the first and best three centuries. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a saheeh hadeeth: “The best of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi).

The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later, when many of the features of true religion had vanished and bid’ah had become widespread.
