HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Happy Birthday to Prophet! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Some say it is 9th Rabiul Awwal & some say it is 12th Rabiul-awwal. People are themselvesconfused but any way we celebrate Our Prophet's Birthday mostly on 12th . MILAD-UN-NABI

so it is called. But have we ever thought that why should we celebrate prophet's birthday. Is it a

form of worship or any pillars of Islam or something like sadaqah or good works. If we wouldhave thought for a while then we would have realized that, "Is it more justifiable to celebrate

PROPHET'S BIRTHDAY once a year or is it more justified to follow PROPHET'S WAY

throughout the year and always". If we would have given slight stress on Quran we would havefind this verse which is worthy to note: ""Indeed in the Messenger of Allh (Muhammad

SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allh and

the Last Day and remembers Allh much""(33:21).

Now tell me one thing HAVE PROPHET CELEBRATED THE BIRTHDAY'S OF PROPHET

NOOH (Noah), MUSA (Moses), ISA( Jesus) etc (PBUH on all of them)even for a single day.

HAVE PROPHET CELEBRATED HIS OWN BIRTHDAY. HAVE COMPANIONS

CELEBRATED PROPHETS BIRTHDAY. SO IT IS NOT SUNNAH OR PROPHET'S WAY. Ifanyway we still celebrate our prophet's birthday then why not for others prophet's also. Have we

ever imagined that by not celebrating other prophet's birthday equally ALONGWITH prophetMuhammad's (SAW) we are putting this verse of Allah under our feet: """The Messenger

believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each

one believes in Allh, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, "We make nodistinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey.

(We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."" (2:285).

"""" And those who believe in Allh and His Messengers and make no distinction betweenany of them (Messengers), We shall give them their rewards, and Allh is Ever Oft -

Forgiving, Most Merciful""". (4:152)

Still we want to celebrate Birthday of Prophet then why so much hue and cry. Why not quietly inhome. Look what prophet said: """Do not over praise me as the Christians praised the son of

Mary. I am His slave so say: ''Allah's slave and messenger'' [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

otherwise we will be in the same platform with the Christians what they did with Jesus, """"Opeople of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor

say of Allh aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no

more than) a Messenger of Allh and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowedon Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rh) created by Him; so believe in Allh and His

Messengers.

Still we want to celebrate Birthday of Prophet by representing this hadith that we love prophetand so celebrate Birthday as narrated in Bukhari, """Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose

Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his

children."'' then still one question arises that why should we love prophet for ONE DAY only inthe name of Birthday. Why not 365 days and whole life. This is only possible by following the

ways of prophet instead of celebrating Birthday. Isint.

So celebrating not only prophet's birthday but anybody's BIRTHDAY in general is


2/3

INNOVATION as prophet never celebrated the same in his lifetime neither his companions. And

every innovations is a misguidance and every misguidance lead to fire as per Surah Fatihah verse

7. We cant establish by any means that celebrating BIRTHDAY is legal in Islam.

Look at this hadith: Narated By Abu Said : The Prophet said, "Allah will say, 'O Adam!.

Adam will reply, 'Labbaik and Sa'daik (I respond to Your Calls, I am obedient to Yourorders), wal Khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!' Then Allah will say (to

Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.' Adam will say, 'What (how many) are the people

of the Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of every thousand (take out) nine-hundred and ninety-nine(persons).' At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will

drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see the people as if they were drunk, yet not

drunk; But Allah's punishment will be very severe." That news distressed the companionsof the Prophet too much, and they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who amongst us will be that

man (the lucky one out of one-thousand who will be saved from the Fire)?" He said, "Have

the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and the one (to be savedwill be) from you." The Prophet added, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope that

you (Muslims) will be one third of the people of Paradise." On that, we glorified andpraised Allah and said, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet then said, "By Him in Whose Handmy soul is, I hope that you will be one half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims)

example in comparison to the other people (non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the

skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot on the foreleg of a donkey." (Bukhari)

Now what prophet said is that one from you, but companions are not present now which meanswe all be in Hell. So what does prophet actually meant by that is those people who were in the

footsteps of you or say one who follows companions way. This is clarified by this hadith ofTirmidhi No 171 ''''Narrated byAbdullah ibn Amr Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)

said: There will befall my Ummah exactly (all those) evils which befell the people of Isra'il,

so much so that if there was one amongst them who openly committed fornication with hismother there will be among my Ummah one who will do that, and if the people of Isra'il

were fragmented into seventy-two sects my Ummah will be fragmented into seventy-three

sects. All of them will be in Hell Fire except one sect. They (the Companions) said: Allah's

Messenger, which is that? Whereupon he said: It is one to which I and my companionsbelong.''''

There are some scholars and leaders who present the theory of addition in religion by

companions as per the necessity of hour during their period which has been legally accepted byMuslims. For ex: compilation of Quran, Six Adhans in Fridays instead of five etc etc. Then also

two things arise 1) That companions will never dare to add even a dot from his own to the ways

of prophets. (The compilation of Quran started during prophet's time, the concept of six adhan infridays as performed by Deobandis and Barelwis are baseless.) Anyway all these histories or

hadith if present are WRONG or if in any way we accept it 2) then also we are not supposed to

follow the ways of OTHER THAN COMPANIONS. If companions would have celebratedprophet's birthday then I would be the first to celebrate this BOGUS. Changes brought by

Companions (if any) its O.K but other than that NO. Remember Companions knew the gravity of

this verse of Quran: ''"This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the 'Alamin And ifhe (Muhammad SAW) had forged a false saying concerning Us We surely should have seized


3/3

him by his right hand (or with power and might), And then certainly should have cut off his

life artery (Aorta), And none of you could withhold Us from (punishing) him."" (69:43 to48).

I must request to some of my brothers that they should not surpass the limit by blaming

companions that they have or invented something of their own as per need of time. How can theydisobey Quran where Allah demands: ''''' O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle

and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves

refer it to Allah and His Apostle if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: that is best andmost suitable for final determination''' (4:59).So the ways of companions and prophet are one

and only same one way as that of prophet's. So summarily the ways of prophet is the only means

by which we can reach salvation, and there is no scope of celebrating ''MILAD-UN NABI'' or ''''

MAWLID"" by any means in Islam.

O'Allah! Guide us to The Right Constitution (Quran and Sunnah)The Way of those whom Youhave favored(The prophet & his companions and their followers and their follwers); not of

those who have earned Your wrath (Kafirs i.e idol worshippers), or of those who have forgetthe constitution (Christians, Jews & Mushriks i.e Muslims involved in Shirk i.e worshipsomething else along with Allah).
