Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
:) remember, when women around, keep eyes on the ground. this way, the makeup issue wudnae have arised. such a simple solution to all the evils in the world na.
ps-does this mean u dunn celebrate your own b'day either?
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
haha....loook do i justify "my practices" from islam...no... look even u dont have anything in favour of milad from islamic point of view?...... so again bringing such issue was a bad thingy from ahmed raza khan...so come up with some comments inspite of beating abt the bush...by the way i asked tht u have u eva witnessed milad in its "true colours from hardcore barelvis"???;)
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
it was a curious question, but it got you on the defensive alrite. but hey, if you celebrate b'days yourselves, you dunn have any grounds to say much against barelvis doing the same, do yer? I think not.
ps- i ne'er seen how barelvis celebrate milad, apart from the traditional march they carry out.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
so their "traditional" march is enough to tell tht how they r making mockery of our reliion
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
How so?
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
I know what happens during milad un nabi i am not foolish. My issue is this whole birthday of the prophet (saw) it is an innovation copying the xstians which is not backed by evidence.
I don’t agree with it at all.

Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Mawlid (the celebration of his birth) has a great benefit: it inspires the heart to have a more profound love for the Prophet.
Name me one matter that is Haram to commit, and we will comare it to Islamic Rules.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
All I need is one thing that you find opposing Qur'an or Sunnah and is haram to do in Mawlid.
How about we go from there?
It seems like mentioning all these proves were not enough, or no one read them from the opposers, that's fine. Just be realistic, if you claim something, it better not be opinion, it better be supported Islamically.
So name one thing that is against the Qur'an or Hadith in the Milad-un-Nabiy.

Reading your posts has always been a pleasure, please keep up the good work. As for those who do not agree with your reasoning it is very difficult to convince them because most of them do not read with open minds.
On the issue of Eid Milad celebrations and the way it is practiced in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Dont you think it has mutated into a political rally? Prophet’s birthday is celebrated in the Middle East (excluding Saudi Arabia), its a national holiday where assemblies are arranged in Mosque and Islamic centres for people to gather and listen to scholars deliver speeches and sermons on Prophets life. Dua are performed, special prayers are offered and it is an occassion of celebration, but with sobriety and simplicity. Your thoughts. Thanks
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Ok some people want to belive something even though there is no evidence for it up to them no point going on an on.
All i will say is sahabah the people who knew the prophet (saw) better than any of us never even done nothing like birthday business at all muslims love the prophet (saw) and the best way to show your love for the prophet (saw) is to follow quran and sunnah this is the method and tareeqah anything else is deviating and called innovation.
Just as a footnote friend of mine in UK telling me some mosques have decorations and disco lights in the mosque for this event even some have birthday cakes and he was not not joking either if this is what is happening in UK then this is becoming a joke.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
There is difference between celebrating and remembering. There is nothing wrong with scholars deliver speeches and sermons on Prophet’s :saw: life in mosques. This should be done through out whole year. But blocking roads, causing traffic problems and disturbing others with high volume loud speakers and wasting money on food and decoration (tent, chairs, auditorium fees) is considered celebrating rather than remembering the birth of prophet :saw: which has no place in Islam. It’s an innovation and a bad one.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Using your reasoning then what do you say for all those Tablighis travelling to Raiwind every year on a selected date. Only this year the Govt of Pakistan is to issue 70,000 visas to foreign visitors arriving for the Tablighi Ijhtima. Seriously.=, does anyone believe that it is going to be free of cost? What do these guys do when they converge on Raiwind? Get together and talk about the good things of Islam and how to propagate the message. Nothing wrong. But, isnt it BIDAH cause the Prophet never did it, niether did his companions. Dont get me wrong, Iam not against Tablighis, its the double standards ppl use while judjing Prophet’s birthday celebrations and condoning and revelling Tablighis Ijhtima’s.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
FG, Tableegh is sunnat of Rasool :saw: and sahaba 
So anything related to tabligh like ijtima can’t be considered as bidah. But there is no history of celebrating b’days in Islam. So it’s an innovation.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
AS = I repeat my point, where in Islamic history of the Prophet and his companions is there an example of Muslims gathering for an occassion such as the Raiwind? You dont have to assemble for Tabligh, its very easy and should be done every day. PPL gather in there local mosque and can proceed from there onwards. Then again, the issue arises, where are they assembling for Tabligh? Raiwind, Pakistan population 150MM, 95% Muslim. So what are we missing here?
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
I already gave you my opinion about tablieegh and gathering. I don't need to add anything to it. Even if you’re insisted on calling ijtimah an innovation that certainly it is a good innovation.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
“ijtimah an innovation that certainly it is a good innovation”
Now that wasnt very difficult to admit. AS Iam not trying to ridicule anyone here, idea is to establish the rationale behind such acts. Like I said before, I am totally with the Tablighis when they convene for the Ijhtima, it is a innovation, but a good one. If anyone celebrates Prophets birthday within the parameters of civil society then that too is a Good Innovation, actually a much better one.
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
FG, Taking things out of context, eh? I never wrote that ijtima as bidah, I said that “If you consider it bidah than I has to be good innovation”. So going to haaj in plane is innovation too because in days of prophet poeple performed hajj by sea or land? So you can also call flying to haaj a bidah?
Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Salam brother
Lets keep it simple.
Anything good in Islam i.e. something from which we can benefit from in a postive way is cool. If its not cool by you its ur problem. Dont follow it.
Every year when its MILAD , i learn new things. By listening to Naat and daruud i really get satisfaction. I feel Good about my religion. I also try following Sunah as much as i can. And i am not making any new Sunah , its just a Gr8 gr8 day and i love celebrating it, tats all. Allah says: "In the Bounty of Allah, And in His Mercy - in that let them rejoice that is better than the (wealth they hoard)". (Surah 10, Verse 58) Therefore, it is Allah's Will, that mankind must show appreciation for His bounties. Undoubtedly, showing appreciation is a form of thanksgiving, which is a form of worship. No doubt, the greatest Bounty of Allah to mankind is the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who was not only sent as a Bounty but also as a Mercy to Mankind. Certainly it is the blessing of Allah that we are in the Ummah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). His Ummah is superior to all other Ummahs, and is called KHAIRUL UMAM (Best of Nations). We are the torch-bearers of the Holy Quran. Our Deen, Islam, is a complete and total way of life chosen by Allah Himself. We have unlimited Bounties. But remember, all these are through the Wasila of His beloved personality.
And on the Day of Judgement, it will be through his KAUSAR that we will quench our thirst; and through his intercession we will gain salvation. Imam Malik (radi Allahu anhu) has stated that the Birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is superior to Lailatul Qadr, because on the night of Qadr the Holy Quran was revealed and during this night, the personality who introduced the Quran was born. Therefore, those who are the lovers of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and those who are hopeful for the intercession of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) must rejoice fully on the birth of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), so that not only our fellow Muslims, but also the non-Muslims must witness that Muslims are not ungrateful to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), but Muslims do have overwhelming contact, love and respect for him.
Accordingly, prepare for Eid Meelad-Un-Nabi. On the eve of the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal, take a bath, if possible wear new or clean clothes, and use perfume. After Esha Salaah perform Khatam-ul-Quran, listen to Zikr-e-Rasool, give hearing to the Ulema who will talk on the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). For the rest of the night read Durood as much as possible. Also read Nafil Salaah. Make Du'a for yourself,for us and everybody all through the Wasila of the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Pray to the fullest. Certainly Allah will accept our prayers. Beg of Him and ask Him for forgiveness. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born before Fajr Salaah. The Durood and Du'a of this auspicious time is certainly accepted by Allah. Therefore, Durood and Salaam should be offered at this auspicious time in your home and in the Musjid. After Fajr Salaah, during the whole day, where ever we meet our Muslim brothers, greet them and bless them. Promote love and goodwill by embracing each other. On this day, giving charity on behalf of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and to invite each other and to accept invitation of each other are all acts of virtue. Believe that you will be rewarded by Allah and hope for the Mercy of Allah. If possible, fast on this day as this is the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Before the arrival of Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the condition of the world was very delicate. Everything was in turmoil. Infidelity and polytheism was spreading from all directions. Alcoholism, gambling, the taking of interest and bribery was common. The streets were full of major corruptions such as adultery, homosexuality, jealousy, back-biting, enmity and hatred. Vulgarism, theft and murder was a part of daily life. There was not even the scent of love, respect and reverence among people. There was never any protection for the lives and property of individuals. Communities became so corrupt that fathers buried their children alive. In a time of such corruption and deterioration, hope for the helpless, a mercy from Allah, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born, on the morning of the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic year.
On the birth of Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the entire universe became enlightened, the pillars of infidelity began to crumble, the flame of Persia was extinguished, the Arcade of Choroes began to tremble and fourteen of it's blocks fell over, sweet winds of faith began to blow, the faith of humanity began to glitter, the flag of Tauheed was hoisted, the rays of Noor from the light of guidance began to spread and many who had once worshipped 360 idols now turned to the worship of One Allah.
It is evident from "Hadith-e-Qudsi" that Almighty Allah states: "If Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and his Ummah were not created, then I would never have created the Heaven, Hell, the moon, the sun, the skies and earth, day and night, humans and Jinns, and Prophets and Angels." If the Prophet was not created, then nothing in the universe would have come into existence. Not only this, but it is the word of Allah that, "O beloved! If I had not created you, I would never have disclosed Myself."
The Noor of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was created before everything. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "The first creation of Allah was my Noor." His Noor was created when there was nothing. This Noor of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was 4 000 years in a high pedestal close to His Creator. When the Almighty Allah intended to create, then He separated this light into four portions. With the first, He created the "Qalam" or Divine Pen, with the second, He created "Lawhe Mahfooz" or The Protected Tablet, with the third portion He created the "Arsh" or Throne and with the fourth portion He created the rest of creation.
When Allah desired to send His Viceroy to earth, He created the mould of Adam (alaihis salaam) and placed on his forehead and back (spine) the Noor of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) himself said: "I was a Nabi when Nabi Adam (alaihis salaam) was between water and clay." Travelling from forehead to forehead, this Noor was embedded on the forehead of Hazrat Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu), the father of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This Noor then travelled into the womb of Sayyadah Bibi Aamina (radi Allahu anha).
She states that in the nine months of pregnancy, she felt neither any burden nor did she feel symptoms that are felt by any other pregnant women. She also states that during every month, she received glad tidings from various Prophets of Allah. Sayyadah Aamina (radi Allahu anha) states that as time for the birth of Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) arrived, the night passed and the day arrived. It was the during the early hours of a bright Monday morning that she saw a group of people descend from the skies. They had with them three white flags. They placed one flag in the courtyard of her home, one on the roof of the Holy Kaaba, and one on Masjidul Aqsa. She states that a few women then came to her. She questioned them about their identity. Then, one from among them answered that she was Maryam, the mother of Hazrat 'Isa (alaihis salaam). The second said that she was Aasiya, the wife of Firaun and the third said that she was Hajrah, the wife of Hazrat Ebrahim (alaihis salaam). All the rest of the women were maidens (Hoors) of Jannah. They said that they had come to serve her.
After these events, the light of the worlds, Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born. The Quran announced: "Verily came towards you from Allah a Light and a Bright Book." The distinguished Ulema have stated that the Shabbe Wilaadat is greater than Shabbe Qadr and that Rabi-ul-Awwal is more exalted that Ramadaan. The reason for this is that on Shabbe Qadr the Holy Quran was revealed and on Shabbe Wilaadat, the one on whom the Quran was revealed, was born. Shabbe Qadr is a means of blessings for the Ummah, whereas Shabbe Wilaadat is a means of blessings for humanity.
The entire creation rejoiced on the birth of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and, Alhamdulillah, even to this day, the true lovers rejoice on this most joyous ocassion. However, there are those enemies of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who say that to make Niaz, etc is wasteful and lavish. To host the Meelad-un Nabi is a sign of love and respect for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). It is, without doubt, the love for Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) who is the basis of Imaan. If a person claims to love the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), then in no way will he reject the Meelad. It must also be remembered that a person who loves to make the Meelad will also not turn away from the laws and obligations of the Shari'ah, such as Namaaz, Roza, Hajj and Zakaat. We should not only respect the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) by word of mouth, but we should also obey his commands and teachings by firstly performing our Salaah, which is the command of the Holy Quran and the Ahadith. It is through this that we will gain salvation in the Aakirah. Aameen.

Re: Milad-un-Nabiy - Yes, we can celebrate the birth of the Prophet!
Again this year for the 4th time Shia and Sunni celebrated Eid Milad-Un-Nabi together in Berlin. The celebration was held in the Sunni Mosque and a Shia Alim was invited from London to give a speech and to narrate seerat-e-Nabi (saww). Different Naat Khwaan from both sides sent Darood o Salam on Habib-e-Khuda (saww). May they be blessed by Allah (swt)
*The programm for next year is already been planned and will be held in local shia mosque. (Insha-Allah) :) *
