Re: Meanings of Miladun-Nabiy Celebration
There are many many meanings to the celebrations of Mawlidun-Nabiy. One of them is:
Thanking Allah for sending the Prophet
Talking about the merits of the Prophet, and making thiker.
All of that is a good and rewardable act.
Below are some of the good meanings about the even of Mawlid celebrations:
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam is the last Prophet of Allah, he was born in Mecca on 12th of rabi^ul Awal, over 1427 years ago, and was buried in Medina. He is the best of God’s creations.
Muslim Calendar begins when the Prophet immigrated with Abu Bakr from Mecca to Medina.
Hundreds of millions of Muslims all over the world optionally but proudly Celebrate the occasion of Miladun-Nabiy, the Birth of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu^alayhi wa sallam. It’s not an obligation to celebrate it, but it’s a good rewardable deed, and certainly it’s not an unlawful or misguided act.
Muslims join together in love of the Prophet on the day of Mawlid thanking Allah for sending our Prophet as a mercy.
Muslims join together in al-Mawlid reciting the Qur'an, chanting Islamic praises, telling the story of the Prophet's birth, teaching Religious Knowledge, slaughtering animals to feed to the poor, and gathering to thank and praise Allah and ask Him to exalt the honor of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu^alayhi wa sallam.
Over 900 years ago a knowledgeable, and righteous ruler named: al-Mudhaffar, King of Irbil, was the first man to initiate the practice of celebrating al-Mawlid.
King Al-Mudhaffar made a grand celebration that was attended by many scholars. And he was praised by famous Muslim scholars for doing this great deed.
Imam As-Suyootiy authored a book about al-Mawlid and named it: “Husnul Maqsid fi ^amalil-Mawlid”. Which shows the great honor of celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad.
The famous scholar of hadith, Abul-Khattab Ibn Dihyah, wrote a book for this king especially to be read during the mawlid celebration.
Al-Mawlid is a good and rewardable innovation derived from the Qur’an and teachings of the Prophet.
Prophet Muhammad said what means: <
> From such hadith, the scholars of Islam like an-Nawaiy and al-hafidh Ibn Hajar and others said that innovation (Bid^ah) is of two types one that does not comply with Qur’an and sunnah and that is rejected, and one that complies with Qur’an and sunnah which is accepted in Islam such as al-Mawlid celebration.
Among the good innovations was the doing of the followers of Prophet Issa peace be upon him as they initiated a good deed as Allah said in al-Qur’an “war-rahbaniyatan ibtada^ooha” which means they innovated an act of leaving all worldly desires and detaching the hearts from worldly interests and spending all the time for worship, this proves that bid^ah is of 2 types, good and bad.
Also at the time of the companions, Khubayb innovated a good innovation (bid^ah) by making a practice of praying tow rak^ahs before being killed. As narrated by al-Bukhariy.
Also Yahya bin Yamur innovated a good innovation by placing dots and characters on the Arabic letters in the Qur’an. A dot below the Ba’ leeter, Dot above Noon letter and so on. That was a very beneficial and useful bid^ah accepted in Islam.
Khalifah Uthman innovated the practice of a second Adhan on Fridays. As narrated by Bukhariy.
Making Salat and salam on the Prophet after the Adhan is another good innovation practiced by Muslims over 700 years ago.
And Celebrating the Birth of the Prophet is one of those good innovations of guidance that comply with the Qur’an and Teachigns of Prophet Muhammad.
Let us enjoy presenting our thankfulness to Allah, for sending prophet Muhammad as a mercy to humanity. We are proud to show our love to the Prophet and are proud to present it in celebrations.
I ask Allah by the Virtue of Prophet Muhammad, to make this occasion a great and blessed one on all of us, and protect and guide the Muslim nation and may Allah accept our deeds and forgive our sins ameen.

Great article Brother
Re: Meanings of Miladun-Nabiy Celebration
I am not trying to insult our prophet, but I think you might be a bit misguided. Where in the Quran does it say that prophet Muhammed was the best of God's creations? Secondly, God tells us not to make distinctions between the messengers and prophets in 2:136 and 2:285. So why do you celebrate prophet Muhammed's birthday and not other prophets'? And how can you say that he was the best of God's creations?

Riiiight, because reading the Quran would just not be good enough.
