this is funny. We are the people who stand when.national.anthem.is played, when teacher enters the room, but.this.much token.of respect becones problem.when.we say salam.for.our beloved, who.cried.for our redemption.thousands of.years back and without whose.mention the kalima.is incomplete. What is salam.really? A prayer of blessing for him, is.it deniable that in Quran Allah Himself asserts He and angels send durood o salam to the beloved prophet sal Allah o aleh wassalam and believers are directed to do the same. People have problem with commemoration if shahadat e nawasa e rusool Sal.Allah o.aleh wassalam, people have problem with commemoration of the event that was much awaited for since from.forever, the blissful arrival.of the beloved prophet sal Allah o aleh wassalam to the world. Sigh.

As per the question HOW. bad practices are bad. Just like fire crackers on shab e barat are. Eid melad unnabi shouldnt be supposed to decorate the mosques and streets and houses only. It should decorate a beliver’s heart with the teachings of the beloved prophet sal Allah o aleh wassalam. Otherwise it is futile futile futile. But that is another topic. The fundamental question remains, why celebrating.it has become suh a controversy.

That is just an excuse behind allegation of extravagance. When that was celebrated with simplicity, it was being called biddat then too. This has not been made controversial in recent times, this was always there with certain school of thoughts. The scholars from those school of thoughts were licking their angrez aaqa (referring to warm welcome of George V, Edward VII visits and then Queen Victoria’s tail curtailing in India by public including ulema e soo) and and when it comes to standing at the time of sending darood o salam, they got flames in their heart.

I agree that there are issues with the way it is being celebrated in certain quarters, so is the issue with celebration of Eid. People invite mujra girls during Eid Milan parties. Does that justify to stop celebrating Eid by others? Even performing Haj o Umra is now surrounded by luxuries.. 5-7 star hotels at foot-steps of haram. Isn’t it against the concept of simplicity as defined in Islam? taan aake yahan kiyun toot-ti hai?

Regarding poetry of Naats, I’ve been listening to Naats since my childhood.. Yes, there are some OTT naats, but 90% naats don’t cross limit. Anyone who is of the opposite view, is invited to debate on this issue in any of relevant forums (Poetry, Literature, Video Gallery).
