I celebrate the day of my birth by getting on my knees and thanking GOD for making me important enough to create. i do not go around yelling it is my day of birth but rather be humble and grateful. No liquor or partying. I am Christian but also very interested in the muslim laws.
May Allah bless you, I'm a muslim and that's exactly what I do too. Be thankful for your life people because once Allah Creates a soul, it is for Eternity. subhaanAllah!
You want to celebrate, then celebrate, if you dont want to celebrate, keep it yo your self. The sheik is trying to give clarity on an issue that is misunderstood. May Allah bless him. He has done his best to clarify. Respect him for that
there’s nothing misunderstanding about it , all celebration are FORBIDDEN except for the two Eid’s, khalas, anything else - whether it’s “personal” [which makes no sense, islam governs ones life materialistically and spiritually, so excluding it from ‘personal’ makes no sense and is simply an excuse for the people of desires to justify their actions] or not is bid’ah. KHALAS.
JazakumuLLohu khaeran kaseeroh sister. U are such a blessing to islam. As simple as that. U don't have to condemn any 1. If u want to , do it. If u don't want , then let it be. Thanks sist.
You know how some Muslims have started celebrating Christmas and justifying it as "Just a holiday" or that so their kids won't get left out? Imagine how normal it'll be for their children in a few generations. Then there will be a group of scholars who will say "Yeah it's fine to celebrate Christmas as long as it's celebrated just as a holiday and not for religious reasons". 🤷♀️ 🤔🙈
I assume ur tryna indicate that the man in the video is wrong right. If so can u provide ur reasoning. I haven’t arrived at a conclusion yet and would like to explore the different arguments before finally resting on an answer.
Absolutely. The first thing that popped into my mind was exactly this, Christmas and other pagan celebrations. It seems like a huge misdirected to compare birthdays or other pagan celebrations to celebrating wedding anniversaries. Even with my limited knowledge I can sense huge conflict with this videos. I've recently begone to research Yasir Qadhi, to try to understand which Islamic influencers are worth following and whom are genuinely sincere. Soo far I have found both Yasir Qadhi and Omar Suleiman to be a bit strange. Just my opinion based on my comparisons with other influencers with my limited knowledge. InshaAllah, the truth will prevail.
@@user-oy3hp7gv5n Celebrating Birthdays comes from Greeks and Pharaoh. It was a Celebration of Worship. Look it up. Greeks celebrated ritual to honor the goddess Artemis, the female archetype associated with childbirth, wildlife, and the moon. This is not only innovation But a form of Shirk too There is a Authentic Hadith Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.” Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134 Muslims are to celeberate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
That is the reason why seeking knowledge is compulsory to every Muslim. We dont have to be academically expert ot being theologian . Studying the fundamentals can be understood by all. The teaching of the prophet SWL would like us to be recognised as a Muslim . A true Muslim.
Thank Allah every day for every breath We don't know our last Day Dua after getting up in the morning taught by prophet muhammad pbuh - Praise be to Allah who gave me life after death and return is to Him Alone.
If the best of people never did it. Why are we doing it? Birthdays are such a big deal in today’s society that children feel entitled to it. It is embedded in their life that they look forward to it more than eid. I’ve seen with my own eyes a couple got divorced because of it. If you ask me, it is another means that was created for economic gains. None-Muslims constantly creating new things to fill the void that only Allah can fill. I think this should of been more clear. He should of stressed that it doesn’t mean now wife’s run to their husband and tell them you must buy me something for my birthday. There are some people, like me for example, that told my wife that I don’t celebrate birthdays, and if she does something for the kids on their birthday she make sure and tell them that this is not something that your father does. I tell them it is not haram, however, what are we really celebrating. I’d rather celebrate them memorizing verses of the Quran. Or graduating from elementary, middle, and high school. That’s just me
For me I’m the same I can’t say it’s haram because the evidence against it is countered with evidence that it may be permitted but as you said if there was good in it the best of people would have done that, but I have non Muslim family members and then my wife follows the opinion it’s halal and for the kids and it becomes hard, i make it clear I don’t celebrate that but try not to make a conflict
He is an aylim from Madina university and highly educated MashaAllah. Just listen carefully to what he's trying explain. Yes that's correct that we should try to avoid things that the Prophet of Allah didn't do BUT if we are doing things in this day and age that are different like traveling in a car, wearing different clothes etc doesn't make it Haram.
Just the manner of his speech… his tone of voice and the anger in his voice just expresses everything else… this is also not how we as Muslim are supposed to speak especially regarding a topic that is so unimportant.. whilst listening to mufti, not to compare, such a peaceful explanation with so much sense may Allah guide to all
Yes we will celebrate what the Prophet SAW celebrated also, Alhamdulillah What is Aqeeqa? It is birthday celebration And the Prophet SAW of course knew Muslims will be from all over the world and from all cultures so naturally Muslims will be celebrating many things common to their region and culture or families. The point is the Islamic celebrations are the two Eids! That Muslims from all over the world must celebrate and they shouldn’t celebrate other religious days of other religions. The rest is cultural, regional But the Prophet SAW did not stop us from celebrating personal happiness. Why would he, SAW, do that National days, independence days, and many others days are always celebrated. birthdays and anniversaries ( not death of course as we are to mourn only for three days) are not religious celebrations so it’s at our own discretion. What about your wedding? When you made your wife’s father pay for her own wedding dress and the wedding party, at that time, didn’t you feel ashamed? When you gave her a measly few hundreds of dollars as her dowry and took cash and gifts and party and clothing and furniture in return then you didn’t think about Islam????
In this matter i read Jehovah's witnesses points of view even they accept and forbid people from celebrating birthdays. They say its the pagan religious ritual which christians adopted. Its not bidaah i think its related to shirk and aqeedah of pagans even before christianity . Its mentioned in bible birthday was celebrated by Pharoah. Those who associate birthday celebration with prophet s.a.w 's fasting and say even prophet s.a.w celebrated are wrong because fasting is opposite of celebration. The day you fast you don't say we are celebrating fasting. The day you celebrate like eids fasting is forbidden. Fasting is total opposite of celebration and that fasting which prophet s.a.w did was on Mondays not annual . if someone wants to thank Allah one can fast on the day he or she was born which means if someone was on sunday he or she can fast on sundays regardless of month and date . I was unable to understand when he said even if the source is pagan that doesn't make a difference , i think if something comes from paganism having an aqeedah is different from pagan non religious culture such as food or clothing. Birthday celebration was a religious pagan practice which had some beliefs about their gods and bad omens etc. which they use to do it to ward of bad omen. The date month a person was born is very important even to those who practice black magic , its is important for hindu pandits from which they make kundlis which is used for marriages etc. In India the black magicians ask date of birth not the day of birth . There is a big difference between day and date which some muslims do not understand nor do they understand fasting is opposite of celebration. Its neither bidaah nor imitation of kuffar its adaptation of a religious rituals which existed before isa a.s. Date of birth wasn't important at all during prophet s.a.w times or else sahabas would know the exact date when prophet s.a.w was born? there wouldn't be any differences amongst the muslims which we all know there is , nobody knows exactly when prophet s.a.w was born? some say 9th some say 12th rabiul awwal and there are many more dates . Had the date of birth been so important muslim new year would have started on the day prophet s.a.w was born like christians . prophet s.a.w would have celebrated his grandson's birthdays whom he loved so much nor did sahabas celebrate their own birthdays. Seeing this shirk and aqeedah connection its better we should keep away from celebrating or attending or wishing birthdays. WallAhooaalam.
Subhanallah.... Islam is complete ..... I don’t want to add any new celebrations to it... my prophet doesn’t want me follow what other religions do.... he always wanted islam to be practised
Giving gifts are always good things and Islam promotes it.... but why should you wait for birthdays or anniversaries for that.... you should do it on any other days...
Its like the weekends. Ur feelings when weekends is nearing is different from any other day. So marking out a particular day or date to relive ur year memories is fine and nth religious abt it. Like the sheikh said, the religion teaches us to show love to our husband and wife so some wanna do it everyday or once a year its thier choice
Good for you Syaikh didnt say you should cellebrate birthday, in fact if ypu see the whole video he mention that he grow up never cellebrate his birthday
I am very sad to see how Dr Yasir Qadhi is playing this with his so called intellectual and knowledge. I have seen clearly, every few years he takes a new stance and come up with a new ruling. Rather watch Brother Uthman from one message foundation channel on this topic with evidence and proofs. No doubt Mr Qadhi is good in tafser OF QURAN but stay away from his deeper dive in islam.

Omg no. Don't make fiqhi judgements without understanding fiqh. Why recommend to people to make fewer things permissible without any reasoning? The comments on this video are so unbelievably uninformed
@@hassanabdaladl Sorry brother, If I hurt you or anyone. My comment was regarding confusion celebrating such event which is practiced by chrishtains. And, we have hadith not to resemble traditions like non believers.. And, one more, if we are suspicious regarding anything especially related to deen, we should avoid it. Is anything wrong in it..? Why we are so concerned about celebrating birthdays?? We have plenty of reasons to be happy & to celebrate.. Alhamdulillah!
In Islam there are just 2 festivals, eid-ul-fitr and eid-ul-adha. If we are celebrating anything on an annual basis that is where I think the problem begins. Now if I’m celebrating something for example my graduation day, or if I got a job or something of that sort, there’s no restrictions in that. But, Allah has clearly indicated that for a believer there’s only 2 festivals. AND Allah knows best.
He answered that though, saying it depends on what it is now as it is no longer associated with paganism at all. Whether you think that’s a valid argument is a separate thing but that’s what needs to be addressed more than going back to what he’s already said
@@interactazharpharos used to celebrate birthdays as a way to worship themselves. It is within their scriptures. We are mimicking those who committed shirk.
Islam is a way of life and anything you do should be guided by qur an and the Sunnah of rasulullah. Your actions is the manifestation of what you know of your religion..
@@Kipx99 the uniqueness of certain days is what makes an act special. Yes it is good to go above and beyond every single day but that is not realistic. Instead if this person makes a point that on her birthday, she will treat her with more care that is a good thing
@@fattahahmed7598 you make a very good point. We celebrate Eid because it was the day Allah ransomed Ismaeel AS. We can’t celebrate that always but it’s no problem to want to actually remember and thank Allah for your life and your moms life
I thank you for the information specially like me whom still in my new path of being new muslim.. I just want to give thanks, for all the blessings throughout my year,, regardless of religions. So, im so happy that its still halal. As long as not doing some things to make it haram
Birthdays and anniversaries are cultural traditions INHERENT to non-Muslims therefore they qualify as tashabo. This explanation of Dr. Qadhi is free thinking.
I was searching this topic from like I donno when and I now I get it alhamdulillah .... this is the most open talk on the topic of birthday I love u yasir qadhi sir
It's better to avoid birthday celebration even if you don't know for sure if it's haram or not. You may take a look at this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MSh-1bQyuOs.html and you'll know about how such celebration originated from cultures that conflict with Islam. Neither our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), nor any of His companions had any record of such yearly celebration on their birthdays. Moreover, Prophet Muhammd (PBUH) clearly instructed us to stay away from rituals originated from sources other than Islam. Now, eating hamburger or even a cake, litting candle are definitely not wrong. But, when those become part of a celebration that originated from religious rituals other than Islam, you should avoid such celebration to be on the safe side.
Assalamualaikum if we start celebrating birthdays and anniversaries it surely becomes israaf for people who cannot afford it atleast..... If we have 5 kids we cannot party 8 times it's almost impossible...... Rather if we stick to islamic celebrations of eids we can spend good on clothes and eid gifts.... Birthdays and anniversaries r extra burden for people who r hand to mouth. Our Deen is very easygoing and it wil not burden ne one.
Walaikum salaam I think what the shaykh is saying here is that it is permissible. That doesn’t make it mandatory, if in your case it would be a burden, you are of course free to abstain. Allahu Alim
@@TheMGLife you are correct. He's not saying you SHOULD do it, just that it's allowed. If it'll be too costly, then do something small like a card, or even a hug or something.

"Whomever Allah intends good, he gives him understanding of the religion." Sahih Al-Bukhari. 71 Sahih Muslim 1037 He explained in detail that these celebrations are not Bidah! (innovations) Celebrate or don't! MashaAllah
@@saniatamanna7763prophet Muhammad SAW didn't celebrate his birthday, khalifas, sahabs, tabaieen, bujurganedeen no one else. these are the people polluting islam with wrong knowledge.

Thanks so much for a REAL logical explanation. Compared all these other folks who blindly goes by their own believes rather thinking from a logical perspective.
@@muslimsoul72 You are still getting it wrong, just because it doesn't mention in Islam, it doesn't make it Haram. We didn't have plane back then, so it's haram too? THe point is scholar just gives their opinion. You can find other scholar supporting the evidence that it's not haram. So it's your choice what you take. I can assure you , neither God will come down or Muhammed will wake up from the grave to explain it to us. It's just matter of what you want to accept.
@@muslimsoul72 well if that was the case then almost everything in every culture would have been haram cause before Islam, almost everyone was pagan. So the culture has pagan roots. Simple then. Abandon everything and be Arab then.

@@abdulbar8592 however I haven’t fully formed an opinion on whether I think bdays are haram or not. I don’t think there’s enough evidence yet that I have seen that a bday w out haram practices involved is haram.
If celebrating birthday is a good thing to do then our Prophet Muhammad would surely celebrate his birthday other than fasting. It means we are allowed to celebrate it thru fasting so those who are fan of celebrating their birthday just do it in a Prophetic way, fast too when it is your birthday! I'm sure you would no longer insist on celebrating your birthday in that way.
It depends on how u celebrate ur birthday. If there is dancing and alcohol involved than its haram. Its alright if u spend time with ur family and go out for dinner at a halal restaurant theres nothing wrong in that.
*Birth and death are controlled by Almighty, So we can not say it is personal,* *But school day celebration, wedding celebration are can be consider as personal because the date is fixed by humens*⅞
A bit shocked to hear what I have... but there have been a lot of things Yassir Qadhi has been saying lately that have not be correct. I for one would love to celebrate birthdays as I did so before.. everyone's parties, meals out, personalised cakes balloons you name it however, I refrain now completely have to say It's very hard getting the kids on board living in the west where it's hugely common and the norm. May Allah make it easy for us all to adhere to the commands of Allah and not bring into Islam that weren't there before. Anything that came after the death of the prophet saw is clearly an innovation. If birthdays were a thing the companions of the prophet and others would have been celebrating it unfortunately they didn't.
I don't see the point of celebrating birthdays, honestly. It's not something unqiue. Literally every person alive has birthdays. So why celebrate something mundane like that?
yh I agree, it’s a useless practice and very depressing especially if you treat it like one special perfect day. I truly believe it should only be for children once you hit a certain age it’s just childish
حسبنا الله و نــِـعم الوكيل Birthday is not an Islamic festival. There are many others way u can celebrate and name festivals with ur own terms and conditions. Don’t follow the footsteps of shaitan.
He said something increasing love between Husband and Wife , how this can be haram ? My question , Is Rasool Allah saw, chosen one particular day to express more love for wife/ or one particular day to give her gift etc ? The answer is NO..This is purely a western culture in my prospective. May Allah guide us to right path !
Rasulallah pbuh used to give his wife gifts everyday or any day or time he wanted and he could. So on that time I am sure people didn’t know about anniversaries and nowadays they celebrate their wedding day the day the got blessed with their spouses so why not to celebrate it because it makes you feel good and romantic too
Are you trying to say that something prophet Muhammad pbuh haven’t done is haram??prophet Muhammad pbuh haven’t used mobile phone and now you are using it ..that means are you doing haram??No way..Think wiser…something that isn’t prohibited by Prophet Muhammed pbuh can be done as halal..right?!!and don’t think like.. something that wasn’t practiced by Prophet Muhammad pbuh is haram.
I agree with him that birthdays and anniversary bring happiness, and love is instilled for those days. It’s a means of sharing gifts that the Hadith mention brings love. It is a means of eating food and bringing people together - baraqa for the one providing/cooking. It is a deed if done in halal manner brings and encourages unity, sometimes people pray in jamaat as a result, it is a praiseworthy not blameworthy action that is deemed contravening the deen. Thanks

If it is done privately. Most times it’s about show off and present ourself as a costly material vs Happiness. We will have be happy life when try to fulfill Allah’s way and follow Prophets deeds. Why spends thousands to feed the rich to get happiness vs so many poor are living next to us. Yes if we can fulfill our duties and Muslim first, Allah permitted to enjoy a little by thanking him. Not spend money to enjoy while our next door neighbor or family members struggling to live comfortably. We need to think and teach our children so we as Muslim do our duties to others first. جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا
Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Who ever does something that is not a part of this matter of ours (i.e Islam) will have it rejected - Ibn majah Also:- Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Who ever imitates a people is one of them.

As our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم advice us, we should not blindly follow the scholars We should clarifying what Allah سبحانه وتعلى and our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم have said so. As there are many corrupted scholars misleading our Ummah, we must be careful of everything we hears or see and need to clarify regarding matter of deen

@@mohamadkhateeb402 It's not bid'ah but it's still haraam. It's is Tashabbuh because the Muslims were never known to do this before it was introduced by the disbelievers. It is a pagan festival at its roots like Christmas too. Even atheists celebrate Christmas, so obviously it's not a religious event anymore so can the Muslims participate? No! The Muslims only have 2 Eids. The word Eid means something which returns. It comes from the root عاد - يعود which means - To return. Anything which is celebrated ritually and systematically other than the 2 legislated Eids is haraam. Thanksgiving, Valentine's, Easter, mothers day, Christmas, birthdays, bonfire night, anniversaries e.t.c. Some of these things are haraam for more than one reason and some just for one reason. There's no harm in recognizing as anniversary, birthday, or important event, the harm is in feasting upon the day in celebration.
If you've stepped forward to make it Halal then there is no use of stating the misconceptions or discussing the points... We better know the level of your knowledge.

So as far as age is concerned short age is better, so as reduce facing different testify by Almighty. So it is better to leave birth and death to Almighty,*

Islam is a way of life & everything in our life suppose to have meaning or some purpose 😊
Muslim (1162) narrated from Abu Qataadah al-Ansaari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays and he said: “On (that day) I was born and on it Revelation came down to me.” Doesn't this enough to understand that our prophet was a grateful man on his birthday even in that Era.
He was grateful, but look on the way he expressed his gratefulness. By keeping fast. Not throwing a birthday party to his companions or going out.. what if also follow his sunnah on our birth days that try to get more closer to Allah. Instead of celebrating or just get temped by our wordly desires..
He is fasting not providing anything to do. if people is fasting on his birth thats good, but celebrating by party so not that's the way of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
He said do it in halal way...That means don't involve anything haram like alchohols,music,dancing and cake with candles in the celebration. For something to be haram in Islam it needs to be clearly stated in Al Quran and Shariyah. We do celebrate our prophets(peace be upon him) birth day.Even our prophet used to celebrate it by fasting that day. If i am wrong plz correct me.
@@KhanMDOmarFaruk Mohammed (saw) did not celebrate His (saw) birthday He (saw) fasted on Mondays because He was born on a Monday. This is not celebration, also if you are born on a Monday then next year your birthday will not be on a Monday. There are two celebrations in Islam and they are The two Eids. We should follow our prophet (saw) and also take lessons form his companions, have you ever heard them celebrating birthdays? Who knows the Deen better us or Them? Wallahi new Invented things brought into this Deen of ours is rejected, Allah will never accept it. Allah said "your Deen is complete". WE don't need any extras. May Allah Guide us and keep us far away from anything that doesn't benefit us. And Allah knows best.

Though I don’t celebrate my children’s birthday but I don’t stop them from attending birthdays in kindergartens or in families as well bcoz InshaAllah it’s not related to shirk. I have also stared attending their cushions birthdays jus to increase the love among them. Bcoz in a foreign countries we live far away from our families we rarely get a chance to meet each other. I might be wrong but my intention is only to uphold ties of kin ship may Allah forgive us and make a better path for us to follow His Deen. Please brothers and sisters we might not agree with sheikh Yasir Qadi 100% but we shouldn’t stop respecting him or God Forbid say anything that is against his honour because we all might have difference of opinions. Yet we should always respect our sheikhs for working for the deen if he is wrong then may Allah forgive him. On the other side I have also people beginning with celebrating birthdays then going on celebrating Christmas parties which we all agree are totally haram as they are related to shirk that’s isn’t good.
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for." حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ ".

But the part where it is tashabuh with paganism is the blowing out the candles ritual. So maybe just avoid that part if you do choose to celebrate a birthday?
That's the weakest argument I've ever heard to make something halal that was haram in Shariyah "not to copy pagans" which he accepted that himself! والله المستعان may Allah guide him and protect Muslim ummah from his fitnah and evil. ameen.
It isn't haram it hasn't been forbidden by allah. like you don't have to have candles and make wishes like the non muslims. just make dua to allah on that day and treat yourself or whoevers birthday it is , like what is wrong with that.
The concern is about the yearly celebrations. There are only two festivals for a believer Eid Al Adha and Eid ul fitr. The celebration like birthday roots to pagan tradition. But keeping it specific to one day is not okay. For exmaple only on Mother's Day giving present but on otherdays not even talking properly we should keep it more consistent than one day in a year and not only limited to a specific day per year. The best person as we know is Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him we have follow him to be successful and as there are roots to pagan traditions we shoild avoid birthdays and make our celebrations or parties more casual rathrr than naming it with something that has evil roots. This my opinion and the best of the speech is the speech of Allah swt and the best of guidance is the guidance of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
He’s right and wrong. Yes there is nothing wrong with celebrating and being with one another. However, shaitan works slowly. Yes it’s not haram right away, but year after year, expectations rise, entitlement increases, you will always want more, if things don’t go your way, fights or arguments may ensue (disrespecting parents or spouses!). These holidays were created by non Muslims in non Muslim lands. How can we follow traditions and practices by people who are not Muslim and do not have our values and ideologies in mind?
What will happen if you celebrate birthdays once a year, every year? Nothing. Only happiness, It's only 1 day that your birthday comes, there is no harm, shaitan has no relation to birthdays. What will cause you to do haram from birthdays? Eating a cake?
@@MinaShakib do what more? A whole festival for your birthday party? That's still halal, with your logic that means literally doing anything that is occasional will be harmful.
@@normal5389 that depends what "occasional" means to you. Plus this video has some flaws. Tuesday and birthday pagan origin is a bad example because one you cant control and one is voluntary. The prophet (PBUH) said that his followers will follow the disbelievers cubit by cubit to the point where if they fell in the hole of lizard his followers will also. This is imitation of disbelievers and no im not a extreme crazy muslim for saying that. Also, people are making it a lousy justification when they say its a time for kinship because opportunities for kinship and bonding aren't reserved for birthdays. This argument holds no weight. The candle blow wishing aspect is the worst because it is clear bidah. And when i say its bad i mean specifically the people who were told not to do it and they still choose to. Their are those who came not across brithday bidah knowledge and Allah knows best for them.
Very sensible speech. Somethings Allah has left in common sense rather than halal or haram. These are mis understanding of Hadeeth by ultra conservatives.
Calm down people if you dont want to celebrate your birthdays then dont he is not forcing you he is only giving his opinion like seriously you are all going off on one but there are bigger issues we need to correct in ourselves like praying backbiting fasting and respecting our parents but nah let's blast someone cus he has a different opinion on things.
Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried their prayers and wishes to the Godswho lived in the skies. ... The number of candles usually represents the age of the person being celebrated. The idea of celebrating the date of your birth is a pagan tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism. Pagansthought that evil spirits lurked on days of major changes, like the day you turn a year older.
I agree with him. If I eat a Pizza , am I imitating a kuffar? The only thing I would add is that keep these things simple and don't go overboard that they become more important than Eid which is the highest form of celebration.
This guy isn’t rational at all. He has disbelieved in certain ahadith because “it doesn’t make sense” like what?? He says he wants to “modernize” Islam and change meaning of ahadith bc some of the youth are turning atheist. That’s their fault not Islams
Sunnah way to celebrate birthday is to fast on Mondays as prophet Mohamad (peace be upon him) did. Think , did our prophet celebrate his children's birthdays ? Are children more important? Doesn't it mean that we love our spouse and children more than our prophet? How can you hold your Iman if you think your family is more important than the prophet (peace be upon him)?
Then according to you celebrating valentines day also neutral, jumma mubaarak, mothers day, fathers day, aulia Allah's birthday in a form of URS, milaad un nabi, etc... You are opening a lot of doors... What's what your view.... Fear Allah... Culture is different thing, and learning or speaking any language is different thing... Please say about Islam and Islamic culture rather than your personal opinion...we do not have any desire to do any personal advice... Keep your advice... I do not know what happened today's ulema, those people give more personal opinion or advice than what is the Qur'an and hadith says... God bless you brother...
Abida Begum No, but allocating a day to it does not make it haram. It’s not hurting anybody, just giving cause for celebration. You can choose to do so or not, there isn’t any harm
I am not sure if the Mr. Qadhi knows about the historical side of birthday celebration.;The Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon. ... Some scholars believe the tradition actually started in Germany, where a candle was supposedly placed on the cake to represent “the light of life”. Today, most western cultures celebrate birthdays with cake, lit candles and a birthday song. Birthday candles are said to hold symbolic power. In the past it was believed that evil spirits visited people on their birthdays and that, to protect the person whose birthday it was from evil, people must surround the individual and make them merry.
@@hassanabdaladl Celebrating Birthdays comes from Greeks and Pharaoh. It was a Celebration of Worship. Look it up. Greeks celebrated ritual to honor the goddess Artemis, the female archetype associated with childbirth, wildlife, and the moon. This is not only innovation But a form of Shirk too There is a Authentic Hadith Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.” Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134 Ancient Greeks and Romans worshipped Mother goddesses at springtime. The Greeks had Rhea, the wife of Cronos, to praise, and from 250 BCE, the Romans honoured the Roman goddess Magna Mater According to ancient cultures, sky fathers were (are) refer to sky gods who were looked upon as “fathers.” And I state this in plural because there are so many sky fathers, in fact, most cultures have one. However, “sky father” is a translation of the Vedic pantheon Dyaus Pita. This Indian god is the equivalent of the Roman god, Jupiter and the Greek god, Zeus. Muslims are to celebrate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
No , i guess you should say clearly This is the not the culture of islam Celebrating birthday comes from Christians I mean let's say its not haraam But why do u need to celebrate , eventually you are getting close to death every year passed by Isn't it foolish to celebrate on getting close to your death.
@Sadia subah ofcourse you are getting closer to death every time even when a sec passes by. This was about birthday that's why i said a year.. i guess u r too young to understand and little brain to ponder over things.
@Sadia subah u r taking it completely wrong. I never said time decides death or your age .. The topic was birthday. Evey year people celebrate birthday , so i was only specific about completing a year and celebrating ..that's why i said every year we are getting closer to death ..infact every moment every sec which passes by..i was specific about the subject. Hope u get it..
As per Brother Yasir Qadri it's allow to celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, if you can do minimum expenses on it, like no birthday cake(that's from non-muslim culture) and no gifts or parties spending huge.... Than who will call it celebrating as per Dunia??? Well my opinion is I don't follow his opinion on this issue... the form of Celebrating in Islam is by submitting more humbly to Allah thank Him for the great gifts and say extra prayers on those days.... This days celebrating becoming more expensive which is Human nature to do more than before...so No thank you Brother Yasir
Internet Explorer marriage and letting people know that you are married through a walima is a sunnah and part of the dean. Now celebrating a birthday and getting upset if no one get you anything is just arrogant in my opinion. That’s why it should’ve avoided completely if you ask me
nauxsi the spending part in not the issue, it's making something a trial that was never the case. It's encouraged to by your wife flowers between now and than. But not in valuntines day. It's encouraged to treat your children and families but not on their birthday. Why are humans celebrating things as that has no benefit in their real life, after life. Why not celebrating memorizing the Quran, converting to Islam, or gifting something to let them know they are special to you on any day, which actually shows that it's scinsere. Everyone getting something on their birthday because that's what everyone does, which in reality means nothing
@@nabilelshukri I agree. If you feel the urge to do something thoughtful for someone in your family on any given day for any particular reason it's entirely your own decision, and your money. I don't look at it as religious although the religion blesses all acts of kindness large or small. The idea about why do it on a given date, it helps to focus on deadline. Otherwise why not have exams every week. Etc.. So we pick certain dates to focus. But beyond this it's best left to the individual and their means as well as their heart. I don't think less of someone who does it your way, I don't think less of someone who does it a different way. But as long as we see it for what it is. Cultural thing.
nauxsi my wife was born in America and she’s Celebrated birthdays all her life, even her parents expect something for their birthday, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day even though they are not born here. And they would get upset if no one get them something on those days. I never tell my wife not to celebrate nor it’s haram because that’s not the way I look at things. The Quran is not a book of rules nor the religion which majority of people look at it that way. However, when people ask me about matters like this, such as music, birthdays etc... I ask them “is it going to bring you closer to Allah, which should be everyone’s ultimate goal”. All of us are so busy working and never have time to do things to bring us closer to Allah. Imagine everytime you listen to music you listen to Quran instead and start memorizing what you listen too, read books, and watch lectures. Instead of birthdays. You do a family gathering, get the family together, bbq, keep in touch which is essential in the Deen. We don’t do theses essential things therefore the other traditions become vital replacements for what makes a Muslim who he or she is. I for once don’t care for theses silly things because life is way more than that. In conclusion, I don’t recommend them at all. Time is limited and resurrection is inevitable.
When most of the Ulemas of Islam has understanding of not celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, because it's like following the kuffaar. It's better we don't it. Coming to wearing pants and shirts , it's a very immature statement from the Sheikh because they are generalized. Birthdays and anniversaries have some origin with some culture. People have different opinions. Respect them and move forward. ❤
He didn't mention that lighting up candles on a crescent shaped cake was in fact a pagan ritual where they would pray to moon God Artemis to bless them with good life etc. It was originally a religious festival
So can celebrate my birthday with no candles signing and music my birthdays are always very small and quiet are try not to make it a big deal I’ve only had 3 parties because I hate parties
I see here alot of negative comments. I think he said something that we have to reflect on. If we can not celebrate birthday because it is "tashabuh" then how can we use iphones, tv and add it to our daily routine, or living in non-islamic countries. These all things comes from non-muslim so all of this is tashabuh....???? Like he said then eating burgers, pizza are tashabuhat .........????? Halal and haram is clear in islam.
How is that even comparable? In Islam, it is halal before it is haram. Stop trying to make such arguments as a layman. Among the celebrations that are prohibited according to Islamic teaching - apart from those which involve reprehensible practices and sins - are those in which there is any imitation of the disbelievers, such as birthday celebrations and Mother’s Day. The prohibition is more emphatic if they take a form which resembles the festivals prescribed in Islam. This is the case with regard to those occasions, as they are called “ ‘eid al-milaad (lit. “festival of birth” i.e., birthday) and “ ‘eid al-umm” (lit. festival of mothers, i.e., Mother’s Day). These are occasions which involve imitation of the disbelievers and those whom we are forbidden to imitate. The prohibition is more emphatic if the aim of the one who celebrates it is to draw closer to Allah, may He be exalted, thereby, because this is combining sin and innovation (bid‘ah). The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: What is the ruling on celebrating children’s birthdays? There is a saying among us that it is better to fast on that day instead of celebrating it. What is the correct view? They replied: Celebrating birthdays or fasting because it is one’s birthday is all innovation (bid‘ah) for which there is no basis. Rather the Muslim should seek to draw closer to Allah by doing that which He has enjoined upon him and by doing supererogatory acts of worship. In all cases he should be grateful to Him and praise Him for all the days and years during which he has been sound in body and he, his property and his children have been safe. End quote. Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (2/260, 261) It is forbidden for people to celebrate birthdays, as this is an imitation of disbelievers because Muslims didn't know this custom before. It came from the disbelievers as it is one of their customs. And, the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ordered us to disagree with them. This is made evident from many sound Hadith. Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said also:" Whoever imitates some people, he is one of them". Narrated by Abu Dawood from Ibn Omar. And Allah knows best.
Sweet heart, I don't know ur gender but I love u lillahi wa rosulihi. Thanks for this. U don't have to rubbish some 1s believe because u don't believe them. Do urs and let others do their. As simple as that
