Re: Is it wrong
I understand u disagree with the authenticity of the story but do u disagree with the point of it as well. I drew from the story and how it relates to my surroundings and today. Whether it is completely authentic or not is not as important to me as its essence. And since I’ve seen it happening in my lifetime (with gyaarween ka khatum and daata darbar stuff I feel the story completely speaks to me, it might seem far fetched to others ofcourse).
There was also a discussion branching off about celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. I watched a video once where dr. Zakir naik answered that question and he did it pretty well. This is something close that I could find but not exactly that one. I think he clearly said in that other video that it’s not haram and that it’s allowed (as long as ur not doing any other prohibited thing in the birthday, drinking dancing etc.) but it this video he’s trying to be a little too politically correct. Anyway worth a watch.
