Bidah(innovation) you have seen?

[Do-I-Look-Somali]

Mawlid is Halal sxb. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) followers and his companions would make dua to Allah crying and thanking Allah for giving a great Prophet and a man like Muhammed (PBUH) who was sent to provide Islam to us. Mawlid is simply to praise our Prophet. I mean our creator and angels praise him and his name means the praised one? So why can't Muslims praise him?

Is there evidence for the celebration of Mawlid — the Prophet’s Birthday — in the Qur’an and the Sunna? What do the Imams and scholars of the Four Schools say, and what about the contemporary “Salafi” scholars who forbade it on the grounds that it is an innovation, such as Albani, Bin Baz, al-Jaza’iri, Mashhur Salman, `Uthaymin? What about those who celebrate Mawlid, but forbid people from standing at the conclusion of Mawlid for sending darudor salawat — blessings and salutations — on the Prophet, Peace be upon him? And what about the objections of some to using the phrase: “As-salamu `alayka ya Rasulallah” (Peace upon you, O Messenger of Allah), and their claim that one cannot call the Prophet, peace be upon him, with the term ya, or O?

When the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he found the people of Madinah celebrating and playing in a state of joy on one particular day. He asked them, "What is this day?" They told him that this is a day that we used to celebrate long time ago, and we celebrate this annually. So the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) denied them from doing this and he told them, "We have only two feasts in Islam, the feast of Al-Fitr, and the feast of Al-Adha.

In conclusion, celebrating the birthday of the Prophet

whatever form it takes, is a reprehensible innovation. The Muslims should put a stop to this and other kinds of Bid’ah, and occupy themselves with reviving and adhering to the Sunnah. They should not be deceived by those who promote and defend this Bid’ah, for these types of people are more interested in keeping innovations alive than in reviving the Sunnah; they may not even care about the Sunnah at all. Whoever is like this, it is not permissible to imitate him or follow his example, even if the majority of people are like this. Rather we should follow the example of those who follow the path of the Sunnah, among the righteous Salaf and their followers, even if they are few. Truth is not measured by the men who speak it; rather men are measured by the truth.

The Prophet

said: hoever among you lives (for a long time) will see many differences. I urge you to follow my Sunnah and the way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs who come after me. Hold on to it firmly. Beware of newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.” Ahmad and Tirmithi]. So the Prophet

explained to us in this Hadeeth what we should do when there are differences of opinion, just as he explained that everything that goes against his Sunnah, be it words or deeds, is a Bid’ah, and every Bid’ah is a going astray.

If we see that there is no basis for celebrating the birthday of the Prophet

whether in the Sunnah or in the way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs, then it is one of the newly-invented matters, one of the Bid’ahs which lead people astray. This principle is what is implied by this Hadeeth and is what is indicated by the Aayah which translates as: "O you who have believed, Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result." [Quran 4: 59].

Referring to Allah means referring to His Book, and referring to the Messenger

means referring to his Sunnah after he has passed away. The Quran and Sunnah are the reference point in cases of dispute. Where in the Quran or Sunnah does it indicate that it is prescribed in Islam to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday? Whoever does that or thinks that it is good must repent to Allah from this and from other kinds of Bid’ah. This is the attitude of the Muslim who is seeking the truth. But whoever is too stubborn and arrogant after proof has been established, then his reckoning will be with his Lord.

@Do-I-Look-Somali @UpRightDown Here are the Hadiths and Qu'ran evidences why Mawlid is permisible and Halal. Please read it brother. Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama'ah do Mawlid. Only Salafis don't practice it and they are rejected by the four Imam schools as not being part of Sunni Islam.

In present era we are suffering sects and scholars who imposes verdicts of Shirk and Bid’at on those who celebrate Mawlid an-Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with great enthusiasm and integrity and due to which the simple and straightforward people who are less in knowledge of Qur’an and Hadith get nervous whether they are following the Truth or not.

Here are ample proofs from Qur'an al-Kareem and Ahadith of Beloved Prophet Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him which shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Celebrating Milad-un-Nabi Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam is absolutely Lawful.



..:: The Holy Qur’an Says ::..


قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيداً لأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
Eisa, the son of Maryam, said, “O Allah, O our Lord! Send down to us a table spread from heaven, so that it may become a day of celebration for us – for our former and latter people - and a sign from You; and give us sustenance - and You are the Best Provider Of Sustenance.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, Verse 114]



The day when food is sent from skies is day of rejoicing (EID); then the day when soul of universe Peace be with him was born must be the delight for the day of rejoicing.

Look what Allah has said:


وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
And abundantly proclaim the favours of your Lord. [Surah Al-Duha, Verse 11]



Allah himself commemorating Milad in Holy Qar’an as we do in our gatherings, Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala Says in the Holy Qur’an:


هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللهِ شَهِيدًا
It is He Who has sent His Noble Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, in order to make it prevail over all other religions; and Allah is sufficient as a Witness. [Surah Al-Fatha, Verse 28]

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And remember when Eisa the son of Maryam said, “O Descendants of Israel! Indeed I am Allah’s Noble Messenger towards you, confirming the Book Torah which was before me, and heralding glad tidings of the Noble Messenger who will come after me – his name is Ahmed (the Praised One)”; so when Ahmed came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is an obvious magic.” [Surah As-Saf, Verse 6]

لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Indeed there has come to you a Noble Messenger from among you - your falling into hardship aggrieves him, most concerned for your well being, for the Muslims most compassionate, most merciful. [Surah Tauba, Verse 128]

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللهُ عَلَى الْمُؤمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولاً مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُواْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ
Allah has indeed bestowed a great favour upon the Muslims, in that He sent to them a Noble Messenger (Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) from among them, who recites to them His verses, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and wisdom; and before it, they were definitely in open error. [Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 164]

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَاءٌ لِّمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۔۔۔ قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُواْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
O mankind! The advice has come to you from your Lord and a cure for the hearts - and guidance and mercy for believers. Say, “Upon Allah’s munificence and upon His mercy - upon these should the people rejoice”; that is better than all their wealth and possessions. [Surah Al-Yunus, Verse 57/58]



And this is what we do, we celebrate; we rejoice; we do spend our money to show gratitude to Allah Almighty on his greatest mercy and Blessing i.e. celebrations of Milad-un-Nabi because Qur’an Says:


وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
And We did not send you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) except as a mercy for the entire world. [Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 107]

..:: See in the light of Ahadith ::..

Let us have the opinions of Prophet (Peace be with him) who himself celebrated his Birthday. See Muslim Sharif:


عَنْ أَبِى قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِىِّ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ « فِيهِ وُلِدْتُ وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ
Abi Qatada Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (may Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.

When beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) is celebrating his birthday not yearly but every Monday then how it can be labeled as Shirk or Bid’at?

Beloved Prophet Muhammad SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam himself commemorated about his birth in numerous Ahadith. Few of them are presented below.


ورأت أمي حين حملت بى أنه خرج منها نور أضاء له قصور بصرى من أرض الشام
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) said: “When my mother gave birth to me she saw a light proceeding from her which showed her the castles of Syria”

Pupil of Imam Malik and the teacher of Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal and Hafizul Hadith Abdul Razzak Abu Bakr Bin Hamman, the teacher of the teachers of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, in his Book "Musannaf", has narrated from Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari and his son (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhum), that he asked the Holy Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him)


روى عبد الرزاق -فيما قيل- عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: "قلت: يا رسول الله بأبي أنت وأمّي أخبرني عن أول شىء خلقه الله تعالى قبل الأشياء؟ قال: يا جابر إن الله تعالى خلق قبل الأشياء نور نبيّك من نوره فجعل ذلك النور يدور بالقدرة حيث شاء الله ولم يكن في ذلك الوقت لوح ولا قلم ولا جنّة ولا نار ولا ملك ولا سماء ولا أرض ولا شمس ولا قمر ولا جني ولا إنسي، فلما أراد الله أن يخلق الخلق قسّم ذلك النور أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الجزء الأول القلم، ومن الثاني اللوح، ومن الثالث العرش، ثم قسم الجزء الرابع أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الجزء الأول حملة العرش، ومن الثاني الكرسي، ومن الثالث باقي الملائكة، ثم قسّم الرابع أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الأول السموات، ومن الثاني الأرضين، ومن الثالث الجنّة والنار، ثم قسم الرابع أربعة أجزاء فخلق من الأول نور أبصار المؤمنين، ومن الثاني نور قلوبهم وهي المعرفة بالله، ومن الثالث نور أنسهم وهو التوحيد لا إله إلا الله محمّد رسول الله...."
O Prophet of Allah! My parents be sacrificed upon you, what did the Almighty Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala first create?" The Prophet (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) replied: "Allah first created my Noor (Light) of His Noor. This Noor traveled about according to the Will of Allah. At that time, there was no Heaven, Hell, Lawh (Divine Tablet), Pen, Earth, Skies, Sun, Moon, Jinn or Human Beings. When He decided to create, He divided that Noor into four parts. From one part He created the Pen, from the second, the Lawh and from the third, he made the Arsh (Throne). He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one, He created those Angels who carry the Arsh, from the second, the Kursi (Divine Chair) and from the third, He created the Angels. He again divided the remaining parts into a further four parts. From one, He created the skies. The second was used in creating the planets. From the third, Heaven and Earth were created. Once again, He divided the fourth part into a further four parts. From one part He created the power with which the believers see. From the second, He created in the hearts of the Believers the Noor of Marifat. From the third, He created Noor in the tongues of the Believers, so that they can read the Kalima of Tawheed.

Abu Lahab was an uncle to the Prophet (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam). The event, which Imaam Qastalaani has referred to, is this. When a maid of Abu Lahab (Abdul 'Uzza) named Thuwaibah informed him of a son being born to his brother Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he (Abu Lahab) was so delighted at herring this that he pointed his finger to her in a manner which signified her emancipation for carrying the good news to him But when the holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) declared his Prophet hood, he (Abu Lahab) did not accept him as a Prophet but became a most severe enemy to him and remained so all his life. In condemnation of him a whole Surah of the Holy Qur’an descended.


لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو لَهَب رَأَيْته فِي مَنَامِي بَعْد حَوْل فِي شَرّ حَال فَقَالَ : مَا لَقِيت بَعْدكُمْ رَاحَة ، إِلَّا أَنَّ الْعَذَاب يُخَفَّف عَنِّي كُلّ يَوْم اِثْنَيْنِ ، قَالَ : وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُلِدَ يَوْم الِاثْنَيْنِ ، وَكَانَتْ ثُوَيْبَة بَشَّرَتْ أَبَا لَهَب بِمَوْلِدِهِ فَأَعْتَقَهَا
After his death, people of Abu Lahab's household saw him in a dream, and asked him how he had fared. To this, Abu Lahab said that after departing from them he did not meet with any good but was being given water every Monday from the finger with which he had indicated the emancipation of Thuwaibah, and this water lessened his torment.

Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam after announcing his prophet hood, did his Aqeeqa, not only this, he also stood on his mim’ber sharif (pulpit) and recited his Shajra (Ancestral Tree), commemorated the birth of Hadrat Adam and Status of Hadrat Ibrahim, Hadrat Esa, Hadrat Moosa Alaihimus Salam. He ordered few of his companions to recite his praise; Many of the Companions offered poems in the prominence and praise of Syyiduna Rasoolullah, He was delighted hearing this and prayed for his companions.

Bro this is exactly what I saw Educate me on how the Prophet (SAW), and his companions did this in the masjid. The Quran never even mentioned this. Some even started moving the circle, and started spinning in a trance like state.

Bro I would not class that as dancing, there's no music it's true spiritual passion. Calling on the name of allah while doing some form of exercise. Sufis are cool Muslims got bigger problems. As for what the prophet and companions did, do you truly think we behave like they did? LOL, we will all be in bidach, the prophet scw lived a simple life. We don't. So I don't get the whole bidhah thing, while knowing we can never be like the prophet and his companions

@Factz The Prophet (SAW) himself didn't celebrate his bday. All he did was fast on those days lol. So, if you come to the Mawlid, the celebration of the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), did the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) celebrate his own Mawlid? The answer would be no. The only indication, to his birthday was that he used to fast on Mondays. He never celebrated anything to do with the third month of the year, on the 12th that is.

And they asked him, "Why do you fast Mondays?" He told them, "This is the day I was born in, and this is the day that was revealed to me in", Allah revealed the Quran on that day. So, if you wish to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), fast every Monday.

The Prophet himself did not celebrate his birthday, nor did his companions, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and ‘Ali (May Allah be pleased with them all), and no one doubts that they loved the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) more than we do. The Prophet himself, did not celebrate the birthday of his grandfather Abraham, or Jesus, or Moses, or any of the Prophets of Allah, which indicates that it is a clear innovation.

So, whoever celebrates the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), he either knows more than the Prophet; and this is blasphemous, because no one knows more than the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him); or he is claiming that the Prophet knew that it is good to celebrate but he did not inform his Ummah, and again he is accusing the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) of betraying the message and not delivering it all, and this is also a type of blasphemy.

In short, celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) is an innovation, something that was fabricated, not in the first 100 years, or the second, or the third. It was fabricated on the fourth century of Islam. So, no one of the scholars ever approved of it or agreed to it.

This is a form of an escape, because people who celebrate the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) claim that there is a Hadith, which is fabricated, it’s not authentic, they claim that the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever celebrates my birthday, then Allah will forgive his sins." So, it’s like the Christians, they celebrate on Christmas, and do wrong things, then they claim that by their belief in Jesus Christ, this erases all their sins. In Islam, likewise, those innovators claim that no matter what you do, if you come on the day of the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), you know.. cry a little bit, say some poetry and pretend that you are celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), this shows your great love and hence, this will make all your sins forgiven. And this is completely wrong!

If you love the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), you follow him in every single detail, otherwise, you are claiming something, and your actions are falsifying it.

@Factz When the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he found the people of Madinah celebrating and playing in a state of joy on one particular day. He asked them, "What is this day?" They told him that this is a day that we used to celebrate long time ago, and we celebrate this annually. So the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) denied them from doing this and he told them, "We have only two feasts in Islam, the feast of Al-Fitr, and the feast of Al-Adha."

It is not permissible to have an innovated celebration or feast, whether it’s celebrating the national day, mother’s day, labors’ day.. etc, it is not permissible in Islam.

We have sahih Hadith that tell us all he did, and the way he acted which is in accordance to the Quran. I will agree with you tho on the fact that we have bigger issues. I love all Muslims who worship Allah, and Allah alone, and know that the Prophet (SAW) is his last, and final messenger. Now I just learned that the digir is never done in the masjid. I don't know why they would do it in the masjid at capital park. Also I have one question. Why don't sufis just make dua for the Prophet (SAW) instead of doing it the way they do it like that?

My point is we can never be the way the prophet was, so with that in mind we are bound to come short. Yes we can try but it will be arrogance to claim we can be like the prophet was. So you see we are all in the end the same. The digri is sometimes done in the mosque but with great discipline. Attendees gather and praise the prophet. Bro digri in a way is dua, is all praises. What better way than that?

@Do-I-Look-Somali I knew it lol. You're only quoting Salafi blogs with no evidence. I just given you so many hadiths and Qu'ran verses why Mawlid is halal and permissible along with many references of all the major scholars from all the four major Islamic jurisprudence schools all stating that Mawlid is part of Islam but you didn't read them but ignored the truth lol.

Yes, Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) followers and his companions all praised Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) so did our lord and angels because our Prophet name means "The praised one". Mawlid simply means to praise Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).

Read this Hadith please because all you're doing is ignoring my facts.

Watch this guy. He's a Hanafi sheikh and he quotes an authentic hadith of companions celebrating Prophet Muhammed birthday.

Majority of sheikhs now accept mowlid.

All the four major Islamic jurisprudence schools (Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama'ah) accept Mawlid since it's in the Hadith and Qu'ran. Only people that reject it are the khawarij and they are Salafis/Wahabis.

Bro I keeps it simple, and traditional. If the Prophet (SAW), or his companions celebrated it then I won't celebrate it. Instead I do What Allah (SWT) tells me to do. I fast.

I've watched these videos brother. They are Wahabi sheikhs.

You're supposed to follow what the companions did?

In Mawlid there are many things to do. You can make dua for Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) for asking Allah thanks and crying. You can read more Qu'ran and be more religious. You can sing poems that our companions did to our great prophet. There are many halal ways to celebrate our Prophet.

Almost all scholars in this world accept Mawlid as part of Islam.

Bro so now you're calling me Khawarijj? May Allah help all Muslims like you who disrespect those on pure tawhid. Ameen.
And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

"The most truthful of speech is the Book of Allah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, and the most evil of things are those which are newly-invented."
And he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

"Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours (i.e., Islam), that is not part of it will have it rejected."

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I do disagree with the ones that play drums in the masjid. Dance in the streets, and do other innovations the Prophet (SAW) didn't do.

You finally accept Mawlid after showing you the Hadiths and Qu'ran? Mashallah brother.

In the Hadith, it says you can gather and eat together with joy. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) followers did that to him and do you know what our Prophet did and responded? He joined in and ate their food and laugh with them.

I don't know about dancing and drums. Never heard of that.

I'll have to disagree brother. We can be exactly like the Prophet (SAW) was by reading the Quran, worshipping Allah, and following the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW), and also following the sahaba who studied under the Prophet (SAW). It's all good bro. As long as the sufis keep it as just Dua then I'm cool with it. I consider sufis Muslims, and I love them as Muslims. I'll choose them over the Rafidah Shia anyday. At least the ones who are not like the Asian ones.

Bro... If it's like that. Then Wallahi I'm all for it. In Mombasa these dudes were on trucks banging drums, and dancing Wallahi. But if it's like the way you described it then I'm all for it.
