Sxb there is something called curuf in Islam meaning that people can do things that they did before that was in their culture as long as its not xaram salafis are wrong in believing that we can't do anything that the prophet and companions didn't do however suufis do stuff that the prophet said we are not supposed to do both have their faults but Sufism is worse
Like what? I am talking about Sufis in Somalia?
I was brainwashed into believing that they worship graves and slaughter meat to Sheikh Abdulqadir Jeylani. I spent time with them in Galkayo. All we did was eat mighty feast and recite Quran
As for mawlid, you say it's Haram, I believe that they will be rewarded for it. Not because of the mawlid, but because of their love for the prophet. Abu Lahab, the worst enemy of Islam, receives every Monday a drip of water in Jahannam. Why? Because out of love and excitement for the prophet, his nephew, he freed a slave woman when the prophet was born. That's how much weight the love for the prophet has. Imagine the reward a muslim receives for loving and celebrating his birthday.
‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr narrated a long hadeeth and mentioned Thuwayba, the first wet-nurse of the beloved Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and slavewoman of his cruel uncle, Abu Lahab. ‘Urwah adds a note at the end of his narration, saying:
“And Thuwayba was the freed slave of Abu Lahab. Abu Lahab freed her, and then she nursed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So when Abu Lahab died [in disbelief], he was shown to someone in his family [in a dream] in the most wretched of conditions, and [that relative – they say it was ‘Abbas] said to him: ‘What did you find [after death]?’ So Abu Lahab replied, ‘I didn’t find [any rest] since I left you all, except that I was given to drink *this little amount* because of my freeing Thuwayba.'” [al-Bukhari, Saheeh]
On the day the Prophet (peace be upon him) was born, Thuwayba rushed to her master Abu Lahab in joy and said, “Have you heard?! Aminah has just given birth to a son, for your brother Abdullah!” As was the custom of Arabs to show generosity at receiving good news, and since this was the newborn son (peace be upon him) of his recently deceased brother, Abu Lahab gestured with his thumb and forefinger, saying to Thuwayba, “Go, for you are free.” For this, his punishment in the Hereafter is lessened by a small sip of water equal to what could be held in the small curve of flesh at the base of the thumb till the forefinger [‘Abdur-Razzaq, Mussanaf].
Do not underestimate the love for the prophet. Dong be dismissive of others.
