Peace brother psyah,

This is not true that other Muslims who says it is a innovation or call other Muslim who commemorate is as mubtadi’ (innovators) on account of spurious claims and vague ideas, but they are saying on the basis of authentic hadith and in light of Holy Quran, such as “in the Book Pertaining to Judicial Decision (Kitab Al-Aqdiyya), 'A’isha reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected. [Sahih Muslim - 4266]”.

Our Prophet Muhammad did not do that, nor his successors (Khulafa-e-Rashideen), neither followers of Taba-Tabi’een ever celebrated/commemorated this day as 'Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi. This started after some 600 years and I wonder why it was started then

Salam Alaikum

They apply this hadith to everything that suits them. In truth when all the Sunnah is gathered there is different classifications of Innovation

To prefer select Hadiths over the whole Sunnah is not from the methods of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah. The permissibility of Mawlid is from Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah

To be thankful for the Birth and Sending of the Prophet peace and blessing upon him and his family is Wajib

To hold gatherings to commemorate this occasion is Mustahab and if we want to be conservative it is Jaiz. To say it is Bidah Dalala (bad innovation) is a crime as to commemorate Milad un Nabi peace and blessing upon him and his family is certainly a Sunnah (every Monday Hadith, and the celebration of the People of Medina when the Prophet peace and blessings upon him and his family came to Medina)

So what’s left? well there is issues which Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah are trying to perfect like to have the occasions on more days then one a year. In the spirit of how Milad Un Nabi was commemorated by the Prophet peace and blessings upon him and his companions, it should be done every day and in gatherings.

Also for the Milad Un Nabi gatherings to have started after 600 years is lie. the Books on Milad un Nabi were written at that time and earlier then that:
