Re: Eid Milad

Peace All,

I think I clearly stated and requested that your valuable post should be made according to my question posted in post#1 which was when it was started and started by whom?. I haven’t asked whether it’s a bidda or not nor asked to justify milad by giving another examples.

One again I request you all to please please stick to my question which is posted in post#1 to understand about ‘Milad’ in better sense and I hope you guyz will cooperate this time. **we’ll try to discuss/cover all aspects related to this but step by step. Jumping up in ending will not leads us anywhere. Patience please. **

"If we read our history, then we’ll came to know that this ‘Milad’, wasn’t celebrated by Hazrat Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman, and Ali r.a., nor by the Companion of Prophet Muhammad till some 7th Hijra. Also heard that this Milad wasn’t also celebrated during the time of Yazeed/Yazid. After that there was a person who’s name was “Malik Muzafar”, who first started celebration of this ‘Milad’ for whatsoever reason/purpose. I think the same is also quoted by Ibn Katheer in his book “The Beginning and the Ending”
**
So my question is if the Prophet Muhammad during His PBUH lifetime never did this, not recommended/ordered His Companions r.a. to celebrate this, nor by our ‘Khulafa-e-Rashideen’ celebrated, then today, why we celebrate it? Short answer preferred. **

P.S. There are many posts which I would like to answer but I don’t wish to derail the thread to off-topic so plz stick to my question.

The first video explains why it is needed.
