Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
And first of all make sure that U don not celebrate on the day on which actually Prophet (saw) left this world.
12th of RabeeulAwwwal has more votes for the day when Prophet (saw) left this world and less as birthday.
May we all be guided
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Speaking of the Prophet Muhammad's death, I've heard that before he died, he was poisoned by a Jewish woman. Can anyone verify this?
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
^
a jew woman invited him for a meal....
he went with his comapnions, but on the first bite, he was informed by Allah that the food is poisoned and he spat it out and told his companions not to eat....
some ppl r of the view that this poison is the cause for the death of the Prophet (saw)....
but the incident took place quite a while before his death and hence not regarded with much seriousness....
fatguru (can u change ur name plz), i am sorry, reading my sentence again, i think if someone read it without prior knowledge he wud think that Quran was available as a printed book (pages bound between covers), which was certainly not the case....
am sorry if u mistook me....
i was only trying to say that it was available (all of it) in a written format....
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
All those who are babeling that "Milad is bad Bid^ah" you name me one scholar that said it's a "bad Bid^ah".
You name one !
Otherwise, all those who said so, committed the sin of speaking without Islamic knowledge. And the prophet sallallahu Alayhi wa sallam warned that those who speak without knowledge let him know their place in hellfire. Meaning for the sin, they would deserve the torture of hellfire, but not to the extent of eternal life (since the committing a sin like that is not kufur).
Name me a scholar that claimed it's Bid^ah.
Subhanallah, some people are so careless. They utter words that they deem harmless. Religion is not something you assume, or post your opinion about.
Have fear from Allah.
Hasbunallah wani^malwakeel.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
It's not true the claim that "whatever the Prophet did not do, is a bad innovation".
Whoever claims so is an ignorant, and does not know the teachings of the Prophet and the companions.
Following insha'Allah, for those who have fear from Allah, is an explanation of:
-What Bid^ah means?
-Who from the scholars confirmed that it's a good innovation and a good matter to celebrate the Milad-un-Nabiy.
-What Milad is about?
-Why Muslims do it.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
As mentioned before,
This hadith of the Prophet means: <
There are two types of innovations (Bid^a) mentioned in this hadith:
The innovations of guidance and
The innovations of misguidance.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Bid^a, Innovation types:
What complies with the Qur'an, the Sunnah, the Ijma^ (scholarly consensus), and the sayings and practices of the Companions is an innovation of guidance.
What contradicts the Qur'an, the Sunnah, the Ijma^, and the sayings and actions of the Companions is an innovation of misguidance.
This definition of the two types of innovations was given by many knowledgeable and trustworthy scholars of Islam; among them *Imam ash-Shafi^iyy, Imam an-Nawawiyy, al-Bayhaqiyy, and the Hafidh, Ibn Hajar al-^Asqalaniyy. *
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
It is apparent Muslims have not gone astray in celebrating the birth of the Prophet, based upon the aforementioned hadith, because the deeds practiced during this event are considered rewardable by the standards of the Religion, and in line with the definition of innovations of guidance.
Unfortunately, there are some people who misinterpret a sahih hadith related by Abu Dawud:
"كل بدعة ضلالة"
Which means: <<*Most * innovations are innovations of misguidance.>>
Those who are misguided interpret the word (kul) as `every' and thus claim this hadith means: "Every innovation is an innovation of misguidance.
Their claim is unfounded for two reasons. Linguistically, this hadith is **similar to the hadith **related by al-Bayhaqiyy:
"كل عين زانية"
Which clearly does not **mean: "Every eye gazes the look of the adulterer;" rather, "Most **people are guilty of the forbidden look." The person blind since birth would surely not have the forbidden look, and it is known the Prophets would never commit such an abject sin.
The word "كل" (kul) as used in both hadiths refers to `most,' although it can mean "every" it does not mean this in all cases.
So not everything that the Prophet did is a bad innovation.
How is that?
Example of another good Innovation:
The Qur'an during the time of Prophet Muhammad was written without dots. Sayiduna ^Uthman when he compiled the Qur'an in one book, it did not have a dot under "ba' " letter, or dot above "Noon" letter. There was not dots for the "Ha' , Kha' , Jeem " letters.
Even at the time of the sahahbah, they did not read that Qur'an with dots. They were so strong in Arabic, they read and memorized the Qur'an without dots that differentiate the letters!.
Later on, a man from the Salaf came and innovated a good innovation. He put the dots in al-Qur'an. He put the dot under "ba' " letter, above "noon" letter and so on.
That is what is considered as a good innovation. It does not oppose Qur'an, Hadith, or sayings of scholars. His name was Yahya Bin Ya^mur. May Allah reward him for this great innovation that he will be rewarded for insha’Allah.
Now those wahabies and those who agree with them that 'EVERY SINGLE INNOVATION IS DALAL' let them take the dots out from the Qur'an and read it without dots!! Can they do that?
No they can't. Then let them stay silent and go learn before considering millions of Muslims as misguided.
And let those who follow thin in their ill opinions find a teacher to lead them to Sunnah of the Prophet.
I ask Allah to protect us from speaking without knowledge.
The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: Which means: “A slave may utter a word that he deems harmless that may result in his falling the depth of seventy years into Hellfire.” (Related by at-Tirmidhiyy.)
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Ahmed G, you are absolutely right. What the Muslim of the present day lacks is love for the Prophet :saw:. May Allah enable us to get rid of our short-sightedness, Ameen!
Kee Muhammad :saw: sei wafa too nei to hum teirey hein
Yei jahaan cheez hei kia, lauh-o-qalam teirey hein!
(Iqbal)
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
If you had fear from Allah you would not have said that.
During Milad-un-Nabiy there’s Qur’an recitation, Naat, and feeding the poor and rich, and teaching about the Prophet and his life.
If it wasn’t for the ignorance, wallahi no one would dare to say about such acts “waste of time”.
But I will only remind you. Allah is the one who guides.
((( Fa Dhakir Inn Nafa^at adh-Dhikra ))).
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
That’s ignorant.
Tell me where in Milad-un-Nabiy ther’es shirk?
Where? YOu tell me where the shirk is?
You are considering the 800 millions Muslims with committing shirk??
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!!
I will wait your response on where in Milad there’s shrik.
-Milad is only about:
-Reciting Qur’an, performing Naat (www.alsunna.org/madih)
-Reciting the biography of the Life of the best of the creations of Allah, the human, the arabian, Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa sallam.
-Feeding the poor and rich for the sake of Allah.
Where’s the shirk in that?
People FEAR ALLAH… FEAR ALLAH
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
That answer to your question is only founded in knowledge.
This hadith of the Prophet means:
<<The one **who innovates a good innovation in Islam has its reward and a reward similar to those who follow him in it–until the Day of Judgment–**without lessening their reward. The one who innovates an innovation of misguidance would be sinful for it and has sins similar to those who follow him in it–until the Day of Judgment–without lessening their sins.>>
So, there are two types of innovations mentioned in this hadith:
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
There are many other examles brother. But how do you expect people to know if they lack the knowledge or at least don’t ask for it??
They just go ahead and declare this as shirk and that as misguidance…
I cannot believe how easy it is to some to go ahead and claim this.
Allahu Akbar.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
The Qur’an was revealed in verses.
Then Sayiduna ^Uthman compiled it into one book.
Subhanallah. I wish peopel can ask before they speak without knoweldge.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
We celebrate the presence of Prophet Muhammad to this world as a mercy.
We do not have to celebrate. Yet it’s not haram to do so.
**You can say Milad is basically one of the means of thanking Allah for the mercy of Prophet Muhammad, and teaching people and reminding them of Prophet Muhammad’s life and his teachings. Along with that, Qur’an recitation, and Islamic Naat and praises of the Prophet, and feeding the people for the sake of Allah.
If you think there’s more than that, in which you think is extreme.. post it and we will compare it to the Islamic Teachings.**
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Although most innovations are innovations of misguidance, there are numerous examples of Religiously acceptable innovations.
During the Caliphate of ^Umar Ibnul Khattab, ^Umar initiated the gathering of people in Ramadan to pray the Tarawih Prayer in congregation. When he saw the people performing this prayer in congregation he said:
**
نِعْمَت البِدعَةُ هَذِه"ِ"
"What a good innovation that is!"
**
The high status of ^Umar Ibnul Khattab is known, thus it is important to point out ^Umar used the explicit term البِدعَةُ "innovation" in his praise. If all innovations were misguided--as some claim--^Umar would not have innovated this practice, nor expressed this praise, yet both al-Bukhariyy and Muslim related this incident.
During the era of the followers of the Companions of the Prophet, another praise-worthy innovation took place. Initially, letters like the ba, ta, tha, and ya, did not have dots above or below them. *This practice of distinguishing between the letters by using this notation began after the time of the Prophet. *
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Since the time of the Prophet, many innovations have been adopted. Remembering the birth of the Prophet by doing rewardable deeds is a praise-worthy innovation. It is an honorable event and special to Muslims throughout the world. We rejoice in being members of the greatest nation of Islam--the nation of Muhammad--who was the best Prophet and the best creation of Allah. In Surat Al ^Imran, Ayah 110, Allah said:
(كُنْتُم خَير أُمةٍ أُخرِجت للناسِ تأمُرون بالمَعْروفِ وتنهَونَ عنِ المُنكَرِ وتُؤمِنونَ باللهِ)
which means: [You are the best of nations brought forth to the people; bidding the lawful (ma^ruf) forbidding the unlawful (munkar), and believing in Allah.]
This verse means this nation is the best of nations by virtue of its Prophet," as explained by the scholars of Islam. Muslims are thankful to Allah for the blessings of Islam and for being among the followers of Muhammad. In Surat Al ^Imran, Ayah 31, Allah said:
(قُلْ إنْ كُنتُم تُحِبّون اللهَ فاتبعونىِ يُحببكُمُ الله)
which means [If you love Allah, then follow the Prophet, and Allah will love you.] It is fitting to honor the Prophet. The Mawlid (the celebration of his birth) has a great benefit: it inspires the heart to have a more profound love for the Prophet.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Hence, Celebrating The Birth of The Prophet Is a Good and Rewardable Innovation. And Allah knows best.
