Re: Eid Milad un Nabi Festivities
you probably missed my earlier posts in the thread. That is not the matter of Hub e Ali, its matter of Bughz e Mua’viya that had made this day controversial and labelled as bidat.
PS: I neither celebrate it nor I want that any Islamic event is celebrated with extravagance and show off (That is what I’ve said in earlier posts). But those who celebrate it are not Mushrik or bidati for me. There are various events from Prophet’s own life, which say that he allowed celebrations for events related to Islam.
I don’t want to go into discussion of za’eef and saheeh ahadees, but there are ahadees that Prophet used to fast on Monday as it was his birth day. There is a hades about reduction in Abu Lahab’s azaab just for freeing a londi when he was told about the birth of the Prophet (SAW).
There was objection of sending darood in standing position. What would those scholar call girls from Aus o Khzraj who sung ‘Tala al Badr Alaina’ at the arrival of Prophet in Medina? Were those girls faced anger of Prophet (SAW)?
