From the hadith of Jareer (RadiAllahu Anh) in Muslim:

The one who innovates a good innovation in Islam receives its reward and a reward similar to that of all those who practice with it after him without any lessening in their reward

Therefore the above point may not stand as a reason not to celebrate Mawlid Nabi.

Moreover, Caliph Umar (RA) said after he gathered the people to be led by one Imam during the Tarawih prayer: “Praised is this innovation”
(Sahih Bukhari).

Also it can easily be connected that the understanding of the hadith of Jareer in Muslim was demonstrated by Caliph Umar as being of generic application just as The Prophet (PBUH) has worded them in generic terms.



This is a logical defence of your position and it does not have any evidential value. Muslims stick with the most likely date in matters like this just like we do in Ramadan to attain the blessing of Laytul Qadr even though we do not know the actual date that it is going to fall on. The same effort has been applied by muslim scholars on the birth date of The Prophet (PBUH) and the likely date has at least been narrowed down to the first half of Rabiul awwal. The rest is simple arithmetic.



This is just like saying all personal matters have pagan roots because, as we know, Islam does not enforce binding rules on people's personal matters, so it does not matter how you deal with your personal matters as far as you do not contravene any extant rules of Islam while going about sorting your personal matters. It may be interesting to know where this prohibition is declared as you have stated in the bolded.



From the above hadith of Jareer in Muslim under point 1, provision can be seen for the occurrence of celebrating Milad Nabi provided it is derived based on sound Islamic legal principles. Some of those legal principles may be:

As posted previously:

The Prophet (PBUH) was sent as the 'Mercy' for all creations.

Allahu ta'ala swore by the life of The Prophet (PBUH):

By your life, (O prophet) they are wandering blindly in their intoxication (misguidance)...
Quran 15 72 (AlSunnah.org)

Allahu ta'ala has not bestowed on anyone in the whole creation an honour and rank higher than that of Sayyidna Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH). This is the reason why Allahu ta'ala has never sworn by the life of any prophet or angel, while in this verse, He has sworn by the age and life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) - which is the highest conceivable honour and deference accorded him.
- Ibn Abbas (RadiAllahu Anh) (Wisdom of the Qur'an)

Therefore his birth is certainly a major sign from Allahu ta'ala. Is his birth not even the highest among the major signs of Allahu ta'ala, if I may ask?

...whoever respects the signs of Allah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts.
Qur'an, 22:32]

Are these not sound enough principles and legal grounds that can be advanced in favour of those who set aside a portion of their time to show reverance to this blessed day everytime that it comes once in a year, rather than closing our eyes entirely to it?

Are these grounds not enough reasons for a good innovation, as spelt out in the hadith of Jareer in Muslims above?


You run the risk of being unable to explain in clear terms other hadiths that give room for a legal framework within which further solutions can be arrived at when new matters confront the religion if you insist on that this hadith implies that every religious matter has been solved already.

Some of the hadiths are:
Al-Harith ibn ‘Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent Mu’adh to Yemen and he said, “How will you judge?” Mu’adh said, “I will judge according to the Book of Allah.” The Prophet said, “What if it is not in the Book of Allah?” Mu’adh said, “Then, with the Sunnah of the messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “What if it is not in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?” Mu’adh said, “Then, I will strive to form an opinion .” The Prophet said, “All praise is due to Allah, who has made suitable the messenger of the Messenger of Allah.”.

The hadith of Jareer in Muslim quoted above.

The saying of Caliph Umar (RA) quoted above.

One such matter is the use of microphone to reach a larger audience within salah. The Prophet (PBUH) did not do it. The Sahaba (RA) did not do it. The tabi'in (RA) and the taba-at-tabi'in (RA) did not do it. But alas here we are with it. Should we now drop use of microphone in worship?

Is it not OK to reason that this hadith you quoted above only establishes the bounds within which solutions must first be sought before an informed opinion can be made by a qualified scholar if the solution can not be readily established from the sources mentioned in the hadith, of course, with a certificate of authority from The Prophet (PBUH) or a history of such certifications, which is what the hadiths seem to be pointing to when considered altogether with other hadiths from a wholistic point of view rather than use one hadith to expunge the others when most of them have similar reliability statuses.


Everybody is in agreement with this. The religion comes with its rules and its legal frameworks and everything. But are our understandings of some of these references the same? No.


Are we not now imitating them even in worship by the adoption of microphone in Salat if I may ask? Didn't The Prophet (PBUH) show us how to be different when common events join us together with non-muslims? Such as the fasting of the 9th and 10th of Muharram or on even mundane matters such as dyeing of hair? Why can't same be applied to birthday celebrations?


This could be even an approval for celebrating Milad Nabi (PBUH) ensuring that whatever is sinful in the religion is not carried into such celebrations. Why can't we seek to remove the ills associated with mawlid celebrations rather than quash it altogether?

My Money is mine while his money is ours
I want to elaborate on this point - why do the vast majority of girls believe the husband/ bfs money is hers and his; while her own money is for her alone. Why such entitlement mentality? What does a man get in return for subscribing to a lifetime of expenditure on a woman called "wife". What if one day the money finishes - will the "wife" stay or leave? most leave...

Ask your Sufi religion shehu that what's the meaning of RIDA and what is the judgement on RIDA

Babaheekmat:
Our scholar killed kufar.. just like our sahabahs killed khawarij

Babaheekmat:
Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab..

He killed kufar (Sufi)

He cleansed those filth off Saudi Arabia and made it what it is today

Babaheekmat:
My disapproval is that it's not where in Quran or hadiths that is said that prophet belongs to Sufi. Even the word Sufi is not mentioned anywhere

Sufi = baba alawo.. alalujanu.. oloogun..elebo..

Firstly, there is no evidence whatsoever that he celebrated his birthday. If it was good to celebrate his birthday, he would have done so himself.



May Allah grant us the understanding of His religion.
