It would be interesting to know how many people who celebrate the Mawlid actually pray their 5 times daily salaat prayers . Of you love the prophet then you have to show the love by following his guidance . Any new thing created in islam is an innovation and is not permissible. Follow the way of the prophet s.a.w. and his guidance.
The prophet s.a.w.and his close family did not celebrate Mawlid. The greatest people of the Ummah were: Abubakr r.a.. Umar r.a. Usman r.a. Ali r.a. All the sahabahs . None of the great and blessed people of the Ummah celebrated birthdays. Who are we then to celebrate mawlid.
Our success lies only in following the way of the prophets and obeying the command of Allah. Celebrating mawlid is not the way of the prophet and not the commands of Allah.
The celebration of birthdays is a Christian invention. We are Muslims and we don't follow the way of the Christians but we must follow the way of the prophet p.b.u.h.
Imam Suyuti writes: “I have derived the permissibility of Mawlid from another source of the Sunna (besides the hadith of ‘Ashura’), namely, the (authentic) hadith found in Bayhaqi (and others), narrated by Anas, that the Prophet (asws) slaughtered an ‘Aqiqa (sacrifice for newborns) for himself after he received the prophecy, although it has been mentioned that his grandfather ‘Abd al-Muttalib did that on the seventh day after he was born, and the ‘Aqiqa cannot be repeated. Thus the reason for the Prophet’s (asws) action is to give thanks to Allah for sending him as a mercy to the worlds, and to give honor to his Umma, in the same way that he used to pray on himself. It is recommended for us, therefore, that we also show thanks for his birth by meeting with our brothers, by feeding people, and other such good works and rejoicing.”
Apparently, in the Indian subcontinent, it was started at the behest of British advice during their reign; and the location was " Rawalpindi " and the occasion was " the settlement of a violent dispute between Sikhs and Muslims.
there's nothing wrong with this celebration, so long as people understand that it's not an obligation, but an innovation; i suspect that some in the crowd think that it might be an obligation; non the less. I'd have gone merely for the " Nirala Sweets" 😂
It's obviously a Indian subcontinent innovation that has nothing to do with the true teachings. Now they've got their youngsters running about in the rain, too. Oh well, to each their own.
Yes, you’re right-it does seem to be more common in the Indian subcontinent culture. I haven't seen other Muslim communities going out for juloos in the same way either.
Expressing happiness and celebrating the Prophet (asws) on his birthday causes even unbelievers, by Allah’s favor and mercy, to gain some benefit. For example, every Monday, Abu Lahab in his grave is released from punishment because he freed his handmaiden Thuwayba when she brought him the news of the Prophet’s (asws) birth. This hadith is mentioned in Bukhari’s Sahih (Kitab an-Nikah, #4711), Abdur-Razzaq’s Musannaf (7:478), Baghawi’s Sharh as-Sunna (9:76), and Ibn Kathir mentions it in his books Sirat al-Nabi (1:224), Mawlid al-Nabi (p. 21), and al-Bidaya. The hafiz Shamsuddin Muhammad ad-Dimashqi wrote on this the following verses in his book Mawrid as-sadi fi Mawlid al-Hadi: “If this, a kafir who was condemned to hell eternally with “Perish the hands” (Q111:1), is said to enjoy a respite every Monday because he rejoiced in Ahmad, what then do you think of the servant who, all his life, was happy with Ahmad, and died believing in Divine Unity?”
You’re right bro. However, it was a big event in the community, so I decided to cover it. My goal was simply to show what happened and how everything was organized.
There's nothing ' wrong ' with celebrating it, as long as people are made aware of the fact that there is no islamic obligation or tradition to do; and so long as they understand that it's an innovation.

If anyone can send you UK ponds back home,it's better you live there and just chill. And if you're independent with zero support like me, then you can keep coming, earning in UK and go back home just for a visit.
