@ Makki
thanx 4 sharing ur views and the lengthy and thought provoking arguments.
wud u like to share some hadiths from sahih muslim and sahih bukhari in which prophet has asked muslim to celebrate muslim the eid milad un nabi. or the sahaba has celebrated this day like we are celebrating it.
few days back my friend told me that he was attending the dar se quran at the eve of eid milad un nabi after isha prayer. somebody outside the mosque was playing Naat in such a loud volume that the listeners of dar se quran were unable to hear the dars. so imam sahib asked few of them to go and request them to reduce the volume at least. for 10 minutes they stopped it and then started again. so imam had to call of the Dars.
another friend told me that sunni tehrik workers were demanding “bhatta” from the shop keepers of boulton market karachi by saying that they had to meet the expense of lightening.
what is that … this is not our deen and we are not supposed to do it. i attended the mehfile naat bus this dhoom dharka is not part of our deen and we should not support it.
This bhatta part is very true. A friend told me how a group of people wouldn’t let anyone cross the street without getting something out of the pocket. We are tarnishing the whole legacy of islam.
