Mawlid al-Nabi (the Prophet�s birthday)
Why some people accept and some unaccept the
celebration of the prophet ( )? What is your opinion?
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing in the Qur�aan to say that we should celebrate the
Mawlid or birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him). The Prophet himself (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) did not do this or command anyone to do it, either
during his lifetime or after his death. Indeed, he told them not to
exaggerate about him as the Christians had exaggerated about Jesus
(upon whom be peace). He said: �Do not exaggerate about me as the
Christians exaggerated about the son of Maryam. I am only a slave, so
say, �The slave of Allaah and His Messenger.�� (Reported by
al-Bukhaari). What has been reported is that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) made the day of his birth a day of
worship, which is different to celebration. He was asked about fasting
on Mondays, and he said: �That is the day on which I was born and
the day on which I was entrusted with the Mission or when I was first
given Revelation.� (Reported by Muslim, al-Nisaa�i and Abu Dawood).
Moreover, we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with
them) were the people who loved the Prophet most. Was it reported
that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who
loved him the most, celebrated the birthday of the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Was it reported that �Umar,
who ruled for twelve years, or �Uthmaan, did this? Was it reported
that �Ali, his relative and foster son, did this? Was it reported that any
of the Sahaabah did this? No, by Allaah! Is it because they were not
aware of its importance, or did they not truly love the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? No one would say such
a thing except one who has gone astray and is leading others astray.
Did any of the imaams � Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi�i, Ahmad,
al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen � do this or command others to do it or
say that it was good? By Allaah, no! It was not even mentioned during
the first and best three centuries. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a saheeh hadeeth: �The best
of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come
after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a
people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or
vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).� (Reported by
al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi). The celebration of the Prophet�s
birthday appeared many centuries later, when many of the features of
true religion had vanished and bid�ah had become widespread.
Thus this celebration became a sign of one�s love for the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? But can it be possible
that the Sahaabah, the imaams and the people of the best three
centuries were unaware of it, and it was only those who came later
who were aware of its importance?! What the Qur�aan tells us is that
love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is
demonstrated by following the guidance he brought. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
�Say (O Muhammad): �If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me,
Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say: �Obey Allaah and the Messenger.� But if they turn away, then
Allaah does not like the disbelievers.� [Aal �Imraan 3:31-32]
The first aayah explains that love is just a claim, but the proof of
sincerity is following what the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) brought. The second aayah reaffirms the
importance and necessity of obeying Allaah and His Messenger.
Hence Allaah ended the aayah with a very stern warning in which
those who refuse to obey are described as kaafirs, and Allah does not
love the disbelievers. We ask Allaah to keep us safe from that. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of
the danger of not obeying him, and the danger of adding to what he
brought. The celebration of Mawlid or his birthday is indeed an
addition to what he brought � as all the scholars agree. He said: �The
best of speech is the Book of Allaah, and the best of guidance is the
guidance of Muhammad. The most evil of things are those which are
newly-invented (in religion), and every innovation is a going astray.�
(Reported by Muslim and al-Nisaa�i).
We ask Allaah to protect us from bid�ah and to bless us by helping us
to follow. Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet
Muhammad.
