Both Shia and Mainstream Sunni scholars permit the celebration of the Prophet's (s) birthday and see nothing wrong or haram (forbidden) in it,so as to classify it as "bid'ah" (innovation).only wahhabi (otherwise known as salafist) scholars belonging to the Sunni branch of Islam forbid marking the birthday of the Prophet (s).for instance in saudi arabia,where the wahhabi/salafist ideology is prevalent,celebrating the Prophet's (s) birthday is forbidden.the saudis with their petro-dollars have not left any stone unturned to export their extremist,intolerant and blood-sucking wahhabi/salafist ideology particularly among the mainstream body of Sunni Muslims,especially the unsuspecting and susceptible ones.in this line,the wahhabi/salafist ideology and the petro-dollars are increasingly used to battle Shia Islam. it is a known fact that when we observe the birthday of the Prophet (s),we Muslims do so by thanking Allah (jj) more and more for sending Muhammad (s) into this sinful,wicked and evil world,as mercy unto the creations.we don't go about merry-making like the christians or carrying out haram (forbidden) activities.we only do more acts of worship on this day to thank Allah (jj) and also learn more about the personality of the holy Prophet (s).marking the birthday or even death anniversary of the Prophet (s) is in accord with Islamic teachings and the Quran.

Without watching the video I can nearly guarantee that you are quoting Sufis
Some of them even say that the Prophet (PBUH) is not dead
Their strange ideas (and misguidance) are not new.
But as for Shias, you guys are a law onto yourself

here is a Sunni (non-Sufi) link on the permissibility of Mawlid,refuting the salafist argument against Mawlid,and citing evidence from hadiths and Quran in favor of observing Mawlid:

http://www.sunnah.org/publication/salafi/mawlid_refute.htm

brother "hadbak" has made the criteria to be the sunnah and Quran in regards to observing Mawlid or not.so we shall follow that and see who really is forming laws based on desires,and sectarian agenda to divide the Muslims.for the majority of Muslims (Shia and the Sunni mainstream;with the exception of salafists) to observe Mawlid and see nothing wrong in it,it is neither haram nor bid'ah,and there is nothing in it that goes contrary to the sunnah and the Quran.

the basic principle of Islamic jurisprudence, concerning mu’amalat (dealings), applies in that everything is halal (permissible) unless it is declared to be haram (forbidden) by the Qur’an or Sunnah. Thus the burden of proof is on the person arguing that something is haram.you dont simply go about claiming the Prophet (s) never ever observe his birthday (a false claim in itself) and then tag it bid'ah because it is something "new".for anything to be tagged bid'ah in the shariah,it must first be established to be haram.and everything is halal until it is proven to be or made haram.

So the question is, ‘Where in the light of the Quran and the Hadith is celebrating Mawlid declared to be unlawful or haram?’

insha'Allah we will examine that in my next post.

Permissibility of Mawlid Based on the Quran:

1.) “So (as for) those who believe in him and honour him and help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, these it is that are the successful.” (Surat A'raf: 157)

2.) ‘Say: Because of the (fadl) Blessings of Allah and His (rahma) Mercy you should celebrate (with happiness and pleasure). That is better than what (wealth) they amass.’ (Q.10:58).

3.) "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds". (Q. 21:107)

4.) ‘Indeed Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when he sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad)’ (Q.3:164)

5.) ‘That is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is the owner of Mighty Grace.’(Q.62:4)

6.) ‘And send salaam on him the day he (Yahya) was born, and the day he dies and the day he will be raised up to life (again).’ (Q.19:15)


Permissibility of Mawlid in Sunnah (Hadiths)

1.) In a Hadith narrated by Abu Qatada Ansari (rad), Allah's Messenger (SAW) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: ‘It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.’

2.) The Prophet (SAW) himself celebrated his birth. In a Hadith narrated by Anas, in the Sunan of Imam Bayhaqi, (v.9 p.300 no. 43), states that the Prophet (SAW) sacrificed some animals and performed an aqiqa for himself after the announcement of his Prophethood.

Imam Suyuti states that this was not an aqiqa done in the traditional sense since his grandfather had already performed it. It is not possible to repeat an act of Shari’ah once it is already done. Imam Suyuti states that the reason for the sacrifice of the animals was an act of thankfulness and a celebration done by the Prophet (SAW) for his birth. Imam Suyuti concludes that it is mustahab (advisable) for us to celebrate the mawlid in ijtima (collectively) since the Prophet (SAW) sacrificed animals and distributed the food and thus we too should have a gathering and distribute food and rejoice in a good manner (‘Husn Maqsid fî `Amal-il mawlid by Imâm Jalâl ad-Dîn Suyûtî, pp. 64-6).

Some critics may argue that since the Prophet’s original aqiqa was done in the period of jahliyyah he wanted to repeat it to ensure its proper performance. However this is not a valid argument because why were other acts not repeated by the Prophet (SAW)? For example why did he not repeat his nikah to Hadrat Khadija (rad) which was originally done prior to Prophethood?


3.) Imam Al Suyuti, from Alhawi lil fatawi, wrote a chapter entitled ‘The Good Intention in Commemorating the Mawlid’ in which he said, ‘To commemorate the Mawlid, which is basically gathering people together, reciting parts of the Qu'ran, narrating stories about the Prophet's birth and the signs that accompanied it, then serving food, and afterwards, departing, is one of the good innovations; and the one who practices it gets rewarded, because it involves venerating the status of the Prophet and expressing joy for his honourable birth.’


4.) Allama Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah, a renowned student of Imam Ibn Taymiyya, writes, in Madarij as-Salikin. ‘Listening to a good voice celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (SAW) or celebrating any of the holy days in our history gives peace to the heart, and gives the listener light from the Prophet (SAW) to his heart, and he will drink more from the Muhammadan spring’

5.) Ibn Kathir showing his appreciation of celebrating the Mawlid, mentions in Al Bidayah wan Nihayah the Islamic ruler Malik al-Muzzafar. He writes, ‘During Rabi ul Awwal he used to celebrate Mawlid with great celebration, Moreover, he was benevolent, brave, wise, a scholar, and a just person. Shaykh Abul Khattab wrote a book on Mawlid an Nabi for him and named it At-Tanwir fi Mawlid al Bashir al Nazeer, for which he gave him 1000 dinars. His rule stayed till the Rule of Salahiya and he captured Aka and he remained a man worthy of respect. Al-Sabt mentions that a person attending the gathering of Mawlid held by Muzzafar said: He used to fill the table with 5000 well cooked goats, 10,000 chickens, 100-thousand bowls (of milk) and 30,000 trays of sweets.’ This clearly indicates that the practise of Mawlid was commemorated by those who were authorities in Islam.

I smile...I'm a sister pls not a brother. Enjoy!

hadbak: I smile...I'm a sister pls not a brother. Enjoy!

thanks.noted.

Maulid is forbidden and is to b rejected for dis reaso. If a person does anytin in order to draw closer to Allah wich was not done by d messenger sallaahu alaihi wa sallam or enjoined by him, and wasnt done by d khalifas wu succeded him, dis action implies dat he is accusing d mersenger sallaahu alaihi wa sallam of not fully explaining d religion to d people, and dat he disbelieves in d words of Allah wat translates as: "dis day i hav perfected for u your religion"(maida vs 3) becuz he is adding sometin extra and claiming dat it is a part of d religion, wich mersenger sallaahu alaihi wa sallam didnt bring.

it looks like someone people are literally blind.no amount of evidence and facts (even from the Quran and Sunnah,behind which they hide for their ridiculous claims) can make them rethink and stop them from repeating themselves likes parrots.

U claim to hav evidences by misinterpreting d word of Allah n dat of d prophet, quoting fake/daif headith or quoting d so called islamic scholars without dem giving us authentic evidences to bak it up except giving dere own opinions. I expect u to give me evidence where d prophet order us to celebrate maulid on 12th or 17th rabiul awal from authentic headith d same way we av authentic headith dat eid fitr is to b celebrated on 1st of shaban n eid adha is to b celebrated on 10th of dhul hijja. If u cant give us such evidence u are just deceiving yourself.

^

so when evidence is brought up from hadith it is "daif/weak".when evidence is cited in the Quran,it is "misinterpreting".i initially thought from all the noise been made that there is nothing (not even "daif" or "misinterpreted" verse) to back up anything on mawlid.
you dont even need the Prophet (s) to tell you that you should honor him on the day he was born.the fact that he carried out some activities to mark the day he was born,that is enough for you to pick up as sunnah.there is nothing wrong at all in marking the day the Prophet (s) was born.
