1. Mawlid/Milad: its Origin

• Arabic root word ‫وﻟد‬, meaning to give birth, bear a
child or descendant ALSO significance of birth+events
• Mawlid/Milad refers to recaping/remembering the
blessed birth of Prophet (S) and events taken place
during his birth & lifetime
ِ
• ‫وِم ِ ﻟا دِ ِﻟﻧ ِﺑﻲ‬Mawlid-an-Nabi (in recent context)
ِ
□ contains:
Recitation from Holy Quran;
□ Narration from the Seerat of the Prophet (SAW)
□ Supplication (Durood/Dua) for the Holy Prophet; &
□ Sending Salam to Prophet (S) & make Dua after that

Let’s critically Examine whether Mawlid is acceptable in

the light of our Scriptures*, Ijma and Qiyas

2. History of observing
traditional Mawlid/Milad
• Why Traditional? Current VS Prehistoric Form
(rather celebration): Egypt Celebrated nationally in 358H
• Mawlid books/scriptures/Poems: 1st 289H (Marion p9)
• Mawlid/Milad is to recap/remember/describe the
events which took place during the birth & lifetime of
the Holy Prophet (SAW) & recite Durood+Salam
• Ummah is divided on Mawlid:
□ Rullings: Bid'a Sayyia/Haram; Bid'a Hasana
□ Claim: Supporters of Mawlid ignore Fard & stress on it
□ Some consider Mawlid to be Shirk & act of Christians
□ Others claim, only najdis reject Mawlid
Is there ANYTHING in books called Milad/Mawlid or Eid-
e-Miladunnabi (Saw)?

NB. Eid-ul-adha/fitr NOT

mentioned in Qur'an!

Al-Ma’idah (114): Said ‘Isa, the son of Maryam, "O Allah, our
Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the
heaven/ to be for us a festival/ (‘eeid) for the first of us/ and the
last of us/ and a signfromYou. And provide for us;/ and You are
the best of providers.“
However, Allah mentions a similar word REJOICE (yafrahoo;
farihin, yubasshiru, etc.) in many places; e.g.
Ar-Rum (Ayat 4): Within 3 to 9 years; To Allah belongs the
command before and after; And that day the believers will
rejoice (Yafr’hoo)

NB. Eid-ul-adha/fitr NOT

mentioned in Qur'an! cntd.

Yunus (A-58): Say, "In the bounty of Allah and in Hismercy -

in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they accumulate."

*Establishes a basic principle about bounty & mercy

Therefore;

Anbya (A-107): And We have not sent you, [O Prophet], except as

the mercy to the worlds.
Let’s see if Qur’an DIRECTLY describes Mawlid; as Allah says:
“And this is a book which We have revealed as a blessing, so follow it
and be righteous, that you may receive mercy (An'am:155);
ALSO: “It is a blessed Book which We have revealed, so follow
it,” (Isra:9)
IF Qur'an mentions Mawlid, no doubt it's permissible; if not..

Quick Q: Many stories in Qur'an; Are they important or useless?

Imran (3:39) Thereupon, as he stood praying in the sanctuary, the angels
called out unto him: God sends you the glad tiding (yubasshiruka) of
the birth of Yahia, who shall confirm the truth of a word from God, and
[shall be] outstanding among men, and utterly chaste, and a prophet from
among the righteous.

Hud (11:71) And his wife, standing nearby, laughed with happiness;
whereupon We gave her the glad tiding (fabassharu) of the birth of
Ishaq and, after Ishaq, of his son Yaqoob.

• Hijr (15:53) Said they: "Fear not! Behold, we bring thee

the glad tiding of the birth of a son who will be
endowed with deep knowledge.“
• Nahl (16:58) for, whenever any of them is given the glad

filled with suppressed anger,
• Maryam (19:7) Thereupon the angels called out unto
him: O Zachariah! We bring thee the glad tiding of the
birth of a son whose name shall be Yahya. & God
says, Never have We given this name to anyone before
him.
• Ankabut (29:31) And so, when Our heavenly messengers
came to Abraham with the glad tiding of the birth of
Isaac, they also said, Behold, we are about to destroy
the people of that land, for its people are truly evildoers!

• Saffat (37:112) And We gave him glad tidings of

Ishaq, a prophet from among the righteous.

tidings of the birth of a female child, the like of
which he assigns to the Merciful One, his face
darkens and he is choked with grief.
• Az-Zariyat (51:28) And when he saw that the guests
would not eat, he became apprehensive of them; but
they said, Fear not - and gave him the glad tiding of
the birth of a son who would be endowed with deep

said, "I am Muhammad, son of Abdullah, son of Abdul
Muttalib. Allah created all creatures and placed me among

me in the better section, then made them into tribes and
placed me in the best tribe, then made them into families

best of them & come of the best family.“

• Prophet (SAW) Sates, “O people, Fear Allah and do not be

tricked by Satan. I am Muhammad the son of `Abdullah. I

• Once during the childhood of the Prophet (SAW) on the

occasion of a scarcity of rains, Abu Talib took him (SAW) to
the Holy Kaaba and standing with his back touching the wall
of the sanctuary lifted up the Prophet (SAW) in his lap and
sought medium in his prayers to the Almighty for the rains.
The Prophet (SAW) also joined him in his prayers with his
face upturned. The prayers were not even finished when the
clouds began to appear and the rain fell in torrents. This
incident is alluded in the following verses composed by Abu
Talib: "Don't you see that we have found Mohammed a
prophet like Moses; he is already predicted in the previous
Scriptures. He is the illumined face which is the medium for
the rains; he is the spring for the orphan and a protector for
the widow.“ [Ar-rahiqul Makhtum 109-10 &

inferior choice, he said: O my Lord, I am asking you to forgive me
for the sake of Muhammad. Allah said: O Adam, how do you know
about Muhammad whom I have not yet created (as a human)?
Adam replied, O my Lord, after You created me with your hand and
breathed into me of Your Spirit, I raised my head and saw written on
the heights of the Throne: "la ilaha illallahu muhammadur
rasulullah" I understood that You would not place next to Your
Name but the Most Beloved One of Your creation. Allah said: O
Adam, I have forgiven you, and were it not for Muhammad I would
not have created you.“ ► Al-Hakim narrated it in al-Mustadrak al

The first principle is that all that God has created and the benefits
derived from them are for humanity's use are permissible. Nothing
is haram except what is forbidden by a sound and explicit nass
(i.e., either a Qur'anic verse or a clear, authentic, and explicit
sunna [practice or saying] of the Prophet (SAW). Hadith states:
What Allah has made lawful in His Book is halal and what He
has forbidden is haram, & that concerning which He is silent
is allowed as His favor. So accept from Allah His favor, for
Allah is not forgetful of anything. He (S) then recited, “And thy
Lord is not forgetful(19:64)” (Mustadrak Al-Hakam; Grade Sahih)

"Go make ablution (wudu), perform two rak'as of prayer, & then say:
"Oh Allah, I ask You & turn to You through my Prophet, the
Prophet of mercy; O Muhammad (Ya Muhammad), I seek your
intercession with my Lord for the return of my eyesight

Bukhari 23 (Funeral):333 Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his
dwelling place in As-Sunh. He got down from it, entered the Mosque & did
not speak with anybody till he came to me, and went direct to the
Prophet, who was covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered
his face; knelt down & kissed him; then started weeping and said, "My
father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Prophet! Allah will
not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death which was
written for you."

NARRATION OF MALIK AL-DAR (Imam al-Bayhaqi relates with a sound

(sahih) chain): It is related from Malik al-Dar, `Umar's treasurer, that the
people suffered a drought during the successorship of `Umar,
whereupon a man came to the grave of the Prophet and said: "O
Messenger of Allah, ask for rain for your Community, for verily they
have but perished," after which the Prophet appeared to him in a dream
and told him: "Go to `Umar and give him my greeting, then tell him that
they will be watered. Tell him: You must be clever, you must be clever!"
The man went and told `Umar. The latter said: "O my Lord, I spare no
effort except in what escapes my power!"

Ibn Kathir cites it from Bayhaqi in al-Bidaya wa al-nihaya and says:

isnaduhu sahih; Ibn Abi Shayba cites it in his Musannaf with a sound
(sahih) chain as confirmed by Ibn Hajar who says: rawa Ibn Abi Shayba bi
isnadin sahih and cites the hadith in Fath al-bari

Narrated from Ibn Mas`ud (R); The Prophet (SAW) says: My life is a
great good for you, you will relate about me and it will be related to
you, and my death is a great good for you, your actions will be
exhibited to me, and if I see goodness I will praise Allah, & if I see
evil I will ask forgiveness of Him for you.

Haythami (9:24 #91), and al-`Iraqi in Tarh al-Tathrib (3:297).

O Najdis, it is Ajajil who cry for prophet’s biladat! Ibn Kathir states:
“Iblis cried loudly four times, first when Allah declared him as cursed,
second when he was thrown out, Third when Prophet (SalAllaho Alaihi
wa Sallam) was born and fourth when Sura-tul Fatiha was revealed.”

Burial of Abu Bakr (Ra): Abu Bakr (r) expressed his will that his
funeral should be taken to Rawda of Rasulullah (S) and then it should
asked, “Assalatu was-salamu alayka ya RasulAllah, Abu Bakr is present
at your door.” The companions followed his advice. The doors of the
blessed tomb opened on their own, and a voice was heard: “Udkhulul
Habib ila Habib [Bring the beloved to his beloved].” Imam Fakhr uddin

Imam Dārimī relates from Abū al-Jawzā’ Aws bin

‘Abdullāh: The people of Medina were in the grip of a
severe famine. They complained to ‘Ā’ishah (R) about
their terrible condition. She told them to go towards
the Prophet’s Rawda and open a window in the
direction of the sky so that there is no curtain
between the sky and the grave. The narrator says
they did so. Then it started raining heavily; even the
lush green grass sprang up (everywhere) and the
camels had grown so fat (it seemed) they would burst
out due to the over piling of blubber. So the year was
named as the year of greenery and plenty. Dārimī
related it in his Sunan (1:43#93); Ibn-ul-Jawzī in al-Wafā’ bi-
ahwāl-il-mustafā (2:801); Subkī in Shifā’-us-siqām f
ī ziyārat khayr-il-anām (p.128); Qastallānī in al-Mawāhib-

Creation & Nobuyyat of Prophet (S)

“I was a prophet while Adam was between the spirit and body" Mustadrak
Hakim//Thirmidi//Silisilah as-Saheehah-Albani 1756//Bukhari-Tarikh 7:374
Narrated `Umar (R): The Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬says: When Adam made an inferior
choice, he said: O my Lord, I am asking you to forgive me for the sake of
Muhammad. Allah said: O Adam, and how do you know about Muhammad
whom I have not yet created? Adam replied, O my Lord, after You created me
with your hand and breathed into me of Your Spirit, I raised my head and saw
written on the heights of the Throne:
"LA ILAHA ILLALLAHU MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH" I understood that
You would not place next to Your Name but the Most Beloved One of Your
creation. Allah said: O Adam, I have forgiven you, and were it not for
Muhammad I would not have created you.“ ► Al-Hakim; in al-Mustadrak al
Sahihayn (Vol. 2, Pp 651, Hadith 4228)
Bi ashabil fil/(sura fajr) rabbuka bi ad? Did you not see how your Lord dealt with
Ad? (before or after blessed birth?) LET'S NOTmisinterpret: Qul inna ma ana
basharukum mislukum (‫ = ﻣﺛل‬like/example; Qur'an is a book, but not the same as
Arabian Nights! Hadith: Abu Hurraira (r): When Allah created Adam (A), He
informed him of his descendants, at this Adam (a) saw superiority of some over
others, then he saw me towards the end in form of an ‘ILLUMINATING NUR‘; he
asked: “O my Lord! who is that? Allah replied: This is your son Ahmed, the first
and the last and he will be first to do intercession. (Bayhaqi-Dalail al Nabuwwah:

Hussain and his companions which I have been collecting

Beware of Reforming Islam:

Let’s not reinvent the wheel!
Fitna 1: Dividing Muslims into groups; discord/
disharmony through various groups – Salafi, Wahabi, Ahle
Hadith, ‘Isai, Ahmadia, etc. ISIS Flag!
Fitna 2: Confusing Muslims through fatwa–Shirk in kalima,
praying wrong, most practices are bid’ah/ haram (Madhab
haram/salafism-Taimiyyaism halal)
Hadith: When the black flags come from Khurasan, go to them,
for among them is the khalifah of Allah, the Mahdi. (Hasan)
Fitna 3: Publishing Contradicting Fatwas/Speech & Books to
keep us engaged: Fighting within
Fitna 4: Weakening us through diminishing love for Prophet
(S); refraining from congregation (Ibadat does not make Umar)
Making grave mistake: confused w/ their recitation/outfit
/scholarly speech (Criteria: repect for Rasul S) e.g. Asr salat
Ali; Rub spit, Turn to during Salat [Now: Tend to find out mistakes]

Saudi Arabia, Shaikhs or Books-

Basis of Sharia
Tempted by Saudis/Shaikhs (fooling us):
Often contradicts books & Sunnah
Radicalization/Sex-slavery; Bid’a?: Reading Quran
during prayer; Financial support/facility sharing
No voice for oppressed Muslims
Business-partner of war-weapon producers
They have made a master plan to fool us in the name
of reform Islam (making us salafi)
HADITH: "There will be Dajjals & liars among my Community.
They will tellyousomethingnew,whichneitheryounoryour
forefathers have heard. Be on your guard against them and
do not let them lead you astray." = Haram/Bida – recently
arose
Q: who killed Khalifas, Ahle-e-bayt, burnt ka’ba?
Q: Who is horn of Satan/Abu bakr bagdadi/etc.?---

Islam is Evergreen; Re-invention not needed
Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani, former imam of Mecca, said the Islamic State
and Salafists in Saudi Arabia follow the same thoughts, but apply in
different ways. When asked whether he believes the rise of IS is a
result of Islamist revivalism, he replied with an affirmative. On the
numerous killings of journalists by IS, Kalbani said, "their blood was
shed according to Salafist fatwas; not outside the Salafist framework.
(http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/former-imam-of-mecca-grand-
mosque-islamic-state-saudi-arabia/1/582733.html) so it is high time
we reject so-called Bid’a-pundits and modern-shaikhs.

Example:
how they
destroy
image of
Islam

“And successful are the believers who guard their chastity … except
from their wives or those that their right hands possess.” 23:1-6

“Conveniently this is something the extremists ignore, and this

example further enforces the point that Religious Illiteracy is a
root cause of Extremism. Islamophobic extremists as well as
Islamist extremists (like ISIS) who promote and validate sexual
violence through unspecific passages in the Quran - or without
context - do so to justify their own violent mind-sets.”
Islam is abused by Muslims*

Why we are often Misguided

• Learning Islam from CONTEMPORARY SHAIKHS
• Basing on their Opinions, not on books
• Ignoring Tafsirs* and related Hadith*
while interpreting verses (Bid’a Pundits)
• Internet-scholars and translation-muftis:
unable/reluctant to read/learn/follow
• Often giving fatwa for the sake of justifying
their malpractices (Taraweeh; Haram
business/food; lady-imam, Dress-code..)
Time to go back to traditional Islam

Q: Salat/ Basic Principle: Loving Rasul (Sl) is an

Loving
Prophet integrated part of our Iman
(S)
Ahzab 6:
The prophet is dearer to believers more than their souls, & his
wives are their mothers) +++ Nisa-69: Kathir4/5/6/7 pp403
Prophet PBUH said, None of you will be a true believer until I am more
beloved to you than yourself”. Bukhari V-1, B-2, H-14
Najdi’s Claim: we love rasul (S) but not perform ibada! Ibadat without
love of rasul is that of Munafiq. Ajajil, Ibn Muljim, Ibn Ubai, Jhulkhuai..

Examples of Sahaba (R) Talha (r) in the Battle of

Uhud shielded the Prophet
peace be upon him from
arrows with his own body

Let’s all reject fitna of Batil Firka, who find
bid’a & shirk in our Every religious activity
Tirmidhi 486: Dua is suspended between the heaven
and the earth and none of it is taken up until you send
blessings upon your Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him).”

Abu Dawood, Bk 2, No 1476: The Apostle of Allah

(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) heard a person supplicating
during prayer. He did not mention the greatness of Allah, nor
did he invoke blessings on the Prophet (pbuh). The Apostle
of Allah (pbuh) said: He made haste. Then the prophet (S)
called him and said either to him or to any other person: If
any of youprays,heshouldmentiontheexaltationofhis Lord
inthebeginningandpraiseHim;heshouldthen invoke
blessingsontheProphet(PBUH);thereafterhe should
supplicateAllahforanythinghewishes.

Recognize Najdis: They find Bid’a & Shirk only in

loving & respecting Prophet (S)/but NO Exaggeration
NB: Bid’a is approved by Umar (R) [if not oppose sharia]

So, Let's not be influeced by Bid'a Fatwa; BE UNITED for Prophet

O Allah, the exalted, you know my heart, I am not represen-

ting any sect, but you and your Rasul (S). Accept my effort;
Be a witness on my Dawa and guide us on the right path. 27
