Dear brothers and sisters,
The Qur’an and Sunnah are clear in their commands to follow the guidance of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ and in their prohibition of introducing new practices into the religion. Yet nowhere in the Qur’an or Sunnah were we commanded to celebrate the birth of the Prophet ﷺ.

Allah says:

“Say (O Muhammad to mankind): ‘If you truly love Allah, then follow me. Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’”
— [Āl ‘Imrān 3:31]



Reflect deeply: the Prophet ﷺ never celebrated his own birthday. Neither did his noble companions (RA), nor the righteous generations after them. This practice appeared only centuries later, far removed from the time of the Prophet ﷺ. If it was truly part of Islam, then those closest to him, who loved him most, would have been the first to do it.

Unfortunately, today in places like Nigeria and elsewhere, some people use Mawlid as a means to raise money, gain popularity, or show off. But regardless of intentions or the form it takes, there is no doubt that it is an innovation (bid‘ah) and the Prophet ﷺ clearly warned against innovations in religion.

He ﷺ said:

“The most evil of affairs are the newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance.”
— (Abū Dāwūd, Tirmidhī)



My dear brothers and sisters, if we truly claim to love the Prophet ﷺ, then our love must be shown through following his Sunnah, adhering to his teachings, reviving his way, and avoiding what he did not do.

Let us prove our love for him by:

- Perfecting our five daily prayers.

- Increasing our salāt upon him ﷺ.

- Living by his character of mercy, honesty, and humility.

- Avoiding all innovations that he himself never practiced.


May Allah guide us to the straight path, increase us in true love for His Messenger ﷺ, and protect us from innovations that corrupt our religion. Āmīn.

PS: Don't forget to recite Suratul Khaf today.

Every year we keep shouting that there's no such thing as eid-el maloud but the government keeps insisting we must celebrate it. It is not a festival and should not be treated as such

Gentlevip:
Islam celebrates the Prophet every second. So do all good Muslims.

It is fully Sunnah. The only bidia is trying to prohibit it.

Ask Muric to stop the propagation, he requested for it and almost made it an issue.
Tell your people to stop observing the break

Islam is simply trying to copy Christianity in all they do. Christmas is celebrated so they had to invent theirs too. I have even seen Muslims holding vigils can you imagine?

You celebrate the birthday of "God" on a day and on a month he wasn't born. Muslims don't. The ones that do are only doing it for themselves.

Vigils are nothing new in Islam, it is called Tahajjud and it is mentioned in the Qur'an. Holding it though en mass is a problem. It is meant to be a personal time between a believer and his God.

I don't care about Christmas. I only care about the salvation work Christ came to do for me and you on the cross of Calvary.
