Sa1eem said he was not going to argue so I do not know whether he will come back to answer these points. I am not arguing either, i am telling and correcting which In Sha Allah @Ibn_Sadique will accept first time round

I too use the word Honoured for the celebration of RasoolAllah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Ahlihi wa Sallam of the day of His Blessed Birth.
However in the above you have denied this is celebration. This is an incorrect assumption and a lie. The Prophetic Celebration or allowance for celebration is often found in this way. RasoolAllah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Ahlihi wa Sallam can be said to have honoured, commemorated, celebrated and Grateful for His Blessed Arrival and Mawlid.
However the Ummatti Believers due our third party [dependent] status can add ‘‘rejoice’’ to the list of allowed sentiments:

**
Brother Vroom** Neither am I arguing for a start . Nor am I not a prolific poster here.

Tell me, how did the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) honour/celebrate his day of birth?

Did he honour/celebrate the day, Monday or was he honouring/celebrating the DATE he was born? 12th Rabi Awal as you do.

There is no authentic record of him honouring/celebrating the Date the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was born on, whatever date that be i.e. 12th Rabi Al Awal.

If you and those like you really want honour/celebrate/rejoice at the Birth of the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than you and those like you should follow his example and fast on Mondays –

That is all that he did and those who were with him followed suit.

Believe me, when I say this, only very few very sincere believers do follow the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and fast on Mondays.

Even more few from those who claim with loud voices to be from the ‘Lovers of the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) follow his example and fast on Mondays.
Fasting is tough and feasting is joyfully easy!

Following are the ahadith about fasting on Mondays

*Hadrat Abu Qatadah (r.a.) reported: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saws) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He (saws) said, "That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received Revelation..``’Related by Muslim.

First Revelation was received on Monday and it coincided with the 17th Ramadan.

Narrated by Aisha: Allah’s Messenger (saws) used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. **Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2055 **

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (saws) said: ‘A man’s deeds are presented (to Allah The Most Exalted) on Mondays and Thursdays and I prefer that I should be observing fast when my deeds are presented.’** Related by Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 1261and Nasa’i.***

Do you notice any mention of ‘birthday celebrations’ in the above hadith?

Fasting? Yes!!!

Fasting is tough and feasting is joyfully easy!

Abu Qatada Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me. (Muslim, Book-6, Fasting, Hadith-2606).

This hadith states that all that we are allowed to do is keep a fast on every Monday, this is a weekly cycle, and there is no yearly cycle associated with the blessed Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) birthday.

O mankind! The advice has come to you from your Lord and a cure for the hearts - and guidance and mercy for believers. Say, “Upon Allah’s munificence and upon His mercy - upon these should the people rejoice”; this is better than all the wealth they hoard. [Surah Yunus 10:57-58]

An alternative translation of the Ayat is: Say Upon the Fadl and Mercy of Allah, let them show joyous celebration..

These blessed ayahs have nothing to do with Mawlid – And people’s rejoicing is to do with “Allah’s munificence and upon His mercy”

Please don’t twist and misinterpret Quranic ayahs to mislead others and first of all yourself in the first place.
