Prophet (pbuh) said: �Whoever does something that is a not part of this matter of ours (i.e., Islam) will have it rejected� (reported by Muslim in his Saheeh); and �The best of speech is the Book of Allah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (pbuh). The most evil of things are those which have been newly invented (in religion), and every innovation is a going astray.�
  • Did Prophet [pbuh] celebrated his birthday, or did he advised to do so?
  • Did Hazrath Aboobacker Siddiq [r], the 1st Caliph of Islam and the best friend of Prophet [pbuh] celebrated it?
  • Did Hazrath Umer [r], the 2nd Caliph of Islam ever celebrated it?
  • Did Hazrath Uthman [r], the 3rd Caliph and husband of Prophet's two daughter ever celebrated it?
  • Did Hazrath Ali [r], the 4th Caliph and husband of Prophet's beloved daughter Fathima, father of Hassan & Hussein everl celbrated it?
  • Did any Sahaba, followers of Sahaba, Thabis or any muslim ever celebrated it?
Remember: Mawlid celebration started in Egypt by Fatimi rulers 400 years after Prophet [pbuh] death, so it is not a SUNNAH but a Bidaa.  When you celebrate; you are practicing a Bidaa, if not practicing you don't harm anyone.  Real love to our prophet should show adopting his sunnah in our daily life, not celebrating or making feasts on his name.
And remember Prophets [pbuh] warning aslo: �You would follow the ways of those who came before you step by step, to such an extent that if they were to enter a lizard�s hole, you would enter it too.� They said, �O Messenger of Allah, (do you mean) the Jews and Christians?� He said, �Who else?� (Reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim). The Prophet (pbuh) also said: �Whoever imitates a people is one of them.� (Fataawa Islamiyyah, 1/115)

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
