You might be mistaken actually. The Mawlid was celebrated for centuries in most Muslim lands and many scholars have permitted it. It was never really frowned upon.

It is frowned upon, give sources to back your claims if you say otherwise
There are many sources out there. Imam Suyuti, a well known great scholar who’s status is recognized by Ahlu-Sunnah, permitted and defended the Mawlid.
Mullah Ali Qari, well known Hanafi scholar who wrote a book on the Mawlid.

The Anti Mawlid stance (which is a valid difference of opinion many scholars share) started to become popular in our times due to Salafi influence, there are difference of opinion on it’s permissibity and one can quote many scholars who deem it permissible and brought forth their arguments. It isn’t as black and white as many would like to think. It’s a well known fact that Somalis, North Africans, South Asians, Turks, Arabs etc used to celebrate the Prophet’s ﷺ birthday in their cultures, and his ﷺ birthday was even celebrated in Mecca before Saudi Arabia was established and before Salafism became a trend. So the claim that it was “frowned down upon” is probably not true.
Walaal, what exactly is your own religious sect within Islam? Are you a Sufi or?
I’m just a regular Sunni Muslim who primarily follows the Shafi’i madhab.
Real Christians don’t celebrate Christmas. It’s a pagan holiday and Jesus was born in the summer
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Hot damn if I ever saw a demon wtf is this and they celebrate this wow .
No,
Christmas is traditionally a pagan holiday and ancient Europeans used to have celebrations on the 25th.
Christians at the time merely pretended Jesus was born on the 25th to appease the pagans and help them make their conversion easier.
Pathetic. I'd have just kept burning them at the stake until they understood how unacceptable paganism is.

Nobody knows when Yeshua was born, as he died around the Spring Equinox it was assumed he was born around the Winter Solstice as it was prophetical to have died on the day of birth.
Xalal Christmas songs on the car radio? No thanks!
Must confess though, I sin during this time of the year by blasting this song when it is played on the car radio. I sing along like a Paddy possessed!
From the 1.30 mark
How about the black stone you kiss that was kissed by the pagans? Or how the daily 5 prayers were done in the direction towards the Kaaba by the pagans? Or going around the Kaaba multiple times like the pagans did? Why don't you be honest about your own pagan roots? I can go on and on. All these things were included to bring the tribes into the fold. One can write a book. You all need to be quiet and show some respect.
