Who is he to decide? Is he a prophet? Does he have divine knowledge? Does the Qur'an prohibit us from celebrating birthdays?

Did you not watch the video@@hithere2030

Sahih muslim volume 3 2747

@@MahinJabi Abu Qatada al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) felt annoyed. Thereupon 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) said: We are pleased with Allah as the Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad as the Messenger and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred) commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it. He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy Prophet) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May Allah bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my brother David (peace be upon him). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It was the day on which I was born. on which I was commissioned with prophethood or revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days' fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year. (Imam Muslim said that in this hadith there is a) narration of Imam Shu'ba that he was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday, but we (Imam Muslim) did not mention Thursday for we found it as an error (in reporting).

THE IDEA OF NOT CELEBRATING BIRTHDAY IS FROM YAHUD.. THERE IS NO WRONG WHEN YOU CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY AS A SIGN OF HAPPINES THAT YOU REACH THAT AGE.. AND ALSO THANKFUL TO ALLAH

THERE IS NO AYA OR HADITH THAT IT IS PROHIBITED TO CELEBRATE TO YOUR BIRTHAY OR MAULIDIN NABI

You are right bro..

Aameen thumaa aameen Ya Allah guide us onto the Straight path, the Path tht Thou has favoured not the path Thou has angered aameen Ya Rabbim

true dat my brother..

Alhamdullillah . May Allah give you 72 virgin.

Lol he's talking crap. He started his answer by saying you should follow what Allah says. So where did Allah say you can't do that? He's making up his own rules. Nonesense

Blowing out candles doesn't mean you're now a pagan. That's extremism. And then when he says these things are foreign to Islam.... guess what! Even so called "muslim" names are foreign to Islam because all the arab pagans before Islam had all the same names

​@@Marius-ii7mb Assalamualaikum. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Pls feel free to share your views supporting your statements, but there's no need to judge anyone here. Especially someone who is a Mufti/Imam/Learned person in Islam. Doesn't hurt to be kind after all. It's not like he's advising us to do anything wrong like drugs, etc. so why judge a good natured human being? Thank you.

@@JoaquimGonsalves Cos he's ascribing to God what God never said. That's Haram. The quran even threatens the prophet himself with death if he were to say something untrue

@JoaquimGonsalves May Allah continue to bless you in all aspects of your life dear brother. Ameen

❤🤲🏻

If you listen to imam they will tell you : HARAM ! You can do it another day.

​@@zack95 thats a very lame reply because even if you do it on another day its the intention the person is still intending it for there birthday.

@@Rajanasarali no the lame thing is that religion says only 2 religious celebrations in Islam and everybody turned it into no other celebration than these 2. We Muslims are the most stupid people on Earth. What king of God will send you to hell because you celebrated your birthday ?

Yes, spending a quiet time with your near and dear ones is like any other day. And you haven't glorified your birthday. That is what is important.Well done brother.

@@zack95so just make it a point to do nothing on your birthday? Isn't that an acknowledgment of its own? No where does it specify in Islam to not acknowledge the day someone was born. Like wearing green shirt. If some pagans somewhere wore green shirts should I suddenly change my direction, dodging all things pagans did just to make a point of not being pagan? It's not my problem if someone's opinion of me is negative upon acknowledging my kids' birthdays. I'm not arrogant to have to make it a point to make sure I have every detail of pagan history studied and then make sure I do the opposite just to show ppl I'm not pagan.

So your in the same boat you doing something that wasnt done.

@@Rajanasarali facts

@@adeebazadsheriff whqt do you mean bro

@@Rajanasarali I mean you're correct

Dear sister/brother In Islam. Fasting specifically on your birthday every year makes it an innovation. Had that been a good act Rasoolallah sas would have done that himself and guided us to do so. We cannot add acts of worship by our own will. May Allah swt guide us all You can simply fast every Monday nd Thursday for the practice of RASOOLALLAH sas.

Amīn 🤲🏾

Ameen yaa rabbi!

I hope that I am able to inculcate more of this as I know.

Poor children...they will hate you, and they know the real reason why you are avoiding their birthday, the cheap cover up behind your religious beliefs they will not buy..

@@user-qf5kg1bj4h wtf is so fun about birthday parties anyway it feels so fucking awkward when they sing happy birthday ;-;

Sahih muslim volume 3 2747

Walaikum As-Salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, sorry I think the actions your describing are bidah please look it up I don't mean this in a rude way, but why did the sahabah and prophet and tabieen nor celebrate we can't claim to follow better islam then them or even make up our own practices. Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would praise Allah in his sermon, as He deserves to be praised, and then he would say, “Whomever Allah guides, no one can lead him astray. Whomever Allah sends astray, no one can guide him. The truest word is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The evilest matters in religion are those that are newly invented, for every newly invented matter is an innovation, every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Hellfire.” Source: Sunan al-Nasā’ī 1578 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani Please study this in more detail and let shaitan not deceive as he loves todo may Allah protect us and guide us🩷

​@@MahinJabiwhat does it say

Islam doesnt work as we wish or feel, But only works what Allah mentioned in quran and what our beloved prophet Muhammad peace be upon him does and said according to sahee hadees.

@@ahmedriyazkhan1692Quran says Let there be no compulsion in religion. Allah didn't say you can't celebrate birthdays. Rassoul said with have only two religious celebration. That doesn't mean we have only two celebrations. We can also celebrate things in a non religious frame. When you get gratuated, don't you gather with your family to celebrate. Did you ever wonder if it was haram ? If you did, I guess you have a mental disease

@@Iamnobody25 Alhamdulilla I do on Mondays and Thursdays As prophet saw did.

Do not believe in eloquence they will hypnotize you with their language and lead you astray. Please ask Menk who his parents were, where did he sprout from

Aameen thumaa aameen Ya Rabballaameen

This is a problem when we start thinking we can say whats ok and whats not when were not qualified to

@Wildlifewild1 well if we aren't blowing out candles, we aren't singing and dancing and having a party. Or going anywhere haram for that matter. Just a really nice meal with parents and siblings, what can be wrong? We do that on a daily / weekly basis. So why on this day aren't we allowed? You have millions of people around the world celebrating Mohammed's (pbuh) birthday. You can have a nice meal and you can give a gift. Even the Prophet himself "Give presents to one another for this would increase your mutual love." He didn't specify a day we could or couldn't. So for all tense and purposes. If you aren't committing pagan acts, you can acknowledge a birthday with a gift and meal.

@@adeletait3558 The scholars say that were not allowed to celebrate the prophet saw birthday, if we want to imitate the kuffar then sure go ahead but were Muslims we have our own way, our own traditions and our own celebrations

@Wildlifewild1 I don't celebrate the prophets birthday, so don't insinuate. And don't insinuate what religion I'm not. But what the scholars are saying is don't blow out candles, don't put yourself in a haram situation. Nothing about having good food or sharing a gift. At the end of the day, you aren't supposed to be having full on wedding ceremonies. Only Nikkah, but then look what goes on! People spending absolute thousands on wedding halls, fireworks, smoke machines and dry ice crap. Mixed halls. On Eid, it's little time with family then out driving around, or going restaurant and other social places like bowling alleys and cinemas. So there's alot to be changed before talking about having a decent meal at home with family.

​@@adeletait3558wow you saying syukur to Allah once a year? For nikkah, do you even know how big Muhammad SAW walima with siti Khodija? And for Ied, it's not because Ied then they going to cinema, bowling alley, etc, the reason was because it's the time when all families gather arounds, it doenst metter if they going on ied day, day after, or even week after as long as they still in town

SubhanAllah, we are so guilty of this, may Allah grnt us forgiveness & may we please Our Creator aameen Ya Rabbim

In shaa Allah, as its our duty to guide one another Thts brotherhood of love🤲💗🤲

So that they can never come again together? Birthdays are great ways to make families come together and be happy around. And also it is the day when you were blessed by God to be created, that's why you thank God that he allowed you live one more year

Pagans did not have holidays. But you do know all religions have paganism in them .Do research
