Ameen.
Eid e Milad mubarak to all muslims. May Allah have mercy on us.
why do you call this eid?

Everyone is out to outdo one another with their "love" for the prophet.
When we were young, for me that is a little bit longer than for most if you, there were _only_ two Eids. It just going the way of Christianity, the lights in window, just waiting for the Eid tree and turkey.
There still are only two eids.
Gullible and ill informed have turned this into something it was never meant to.
This. Those who celebrate this event think that those who don’t celebrate milaad do not love the Prophet (ﷺ) enough.
If people want to celebrate the Prophet's Birthday then where is the harm in that?
As usual, people will be up in arms about issues like this but will be completely silent when it comes to real issues in our society like our treatment of ethnic and religious minorities.
Those that celebrate the birth of the holy prophet (Mawlid) I understand. Those that choose not to celebrate the Mawlid, for whatever reason that may be, I can also understand. However, those that go out of their way at this time of year, to oppose the celebration of the Mawlid, should pause and reflect on exactly what they are opposing, and the gravity of holding such thoughts.

That's because to them those celebrating are bordering on shirk and deffo bidah. And you know shirk is the worsest of worse sins, unforgiven. The opponents of milad look at you, as some of you would look at Ahmedis.

Opponents of Milad are Wahabis who have their own personal interpretations which Ahlus sunnah disagrees with. Their baseline is extremism anyway.
Shirk? Dont blow it out of proportion. Biddah? If we debate it to death, it would at the most come out as biddah al hasana which isnt wrong.

It's just the desi Muslims who love to go over the top and prove how better a Muslim they are than the rest by innovating things.
Is it just the desis as opposed to other non Arab Muslims? I ask without knowing the answer. I thought because they are not Arabs, they celebrated just that bit more.
Desi Islam does have its Sufism, rituals, cause for food, music, chanting and preponderance of pir culture. Is this because once we were all Hindu etc?
“kullu bid'atin dalala wa kullu dalalatin fin-naar “ "Every innovation is a misguidance and every misguidance leads to the hellfire" Al-Hadith (Bukhari: 3197, Muslim: 4822, Ahmad: 11372, Tirmidhi: 2565, Hakim Mustadrak, 1:218)
By that definition there can't be a good bid'ah. It's just the desi Muslims who love to go over the top and prove how better a Muslim they are than the rest by innovating things.

There is only one Islam brother . Whether it is in Arab or sub continent. .
Happy Mawlid to those celebrating.
I dont understand athiests jumping up and down every time some religous celebration is on-going, must lead sad lives. Also Muslims who dont believe in it will give greetings to Christians , Hindus on their religous festivals but wont to fellow Muslims who are only remembering and trying to follow the example sent to man.
But with 70 odd sects.
Happy mawlid to all.
Scholars from the Arab world like Ibn Kathir or As Suyuti penned booklets (generally long fatwas) legitimizing Mawlid, whereas the 14th century explorer Ibn Battuta while travelling in the Arab wold found in the Arab city of Mecca Arab peoples/Arab officials celebrating Mawlid. He also described mawlid celebrations elsewhere, including Arabs not affected by PTV propaganda as of yet. So it has nothing to do with "desi" "innovating". In fact the idea of bid'a hassana (good innovation) exists, there's a whole literature on it by representatives of classical, traditional, historical and normative Islam (so I'm not talking about neo Salafis/Wahabbis). Morocco's Shaykh al Ghumari, who was called the Al Bukhari of the 20th century, has written a whole book on the sole idea of bid'a and its divisions, explicitly giving rationale for the idea of bid'a hassana.
But does Quran or hadeeth says that making sects is right in Islam ? How many sects does Quran speak about ? Allah swt has said that there is only one straight path , prophet also said same in hadeeth .
Are you a Qur'an only Muslim?
I celebrate Milad and dont see a problem but i have seen the naat guys use it as a means to make cash. I would urge those that follow Milad to donate to charity in the name of beloved Prophet and not to give to these guys.
Eid Milad cakes, Eid Milad turkey, Eid Milad trees, Eid Milad cards, pure commercialisation and bidah would you not say. Slippery slope and all that? Ten years from now kids will be getting presents.
Every year we will be saying Eid Milad comes earlier and earlier ( it does tho in Eid Milads case).
I take your point about the commercialisation but at its core its a mean of propagating our beloved Prophets message, and no way is that a bad thing. I donate a small amount to langar and more recently make a separate donation to charity.
Have folks seen videos of up tempo beat music, or Xmas trees in the corner of mosques? Would you say it was bidah?
Milad itself is a Bidah .
Playing Music is a sin .
Is using Pakpassion to propagate Islam a biddah?

All this proves is that the people at the time thought that the Day of Judgement would be in their life time.
Still waiting after 1400 years.
Every generation says "oh Day of Judgement is close because of the 'signs', etc".
Whether it comes soon or in billion years time is irrelevant to you, because you start to face yours when you die.
Even if I have been a goody goody according to Allah?
Whether you think you are good or bad is irrelevant- the tribesman that killed the American were doing the right thing as far as their thinking goes- according to your way of thinking, no crime was committed. May Allah forgive your sins as well as mine.
Even if I have been a goody goody according to Allah?
If you read again, I didn't say whether I thought I was good or bad but if Allah thinks I am bad or good?
Eid Milaadun-Nabi (saw) to all muslims.
People use alarm clocks to get up for Fajr, they have AC’s and thick soft carpets in Mosques to feel comfortable while praying, but when they say others show happiness for the birth of Allah’s best creation they start screaming bida’a boda’a! I mean just think logically, if you do an act which is not forbidden by Sharia, what is the problem?
Just show me references from Quran and Hadeeth about the unlawfulness of reciting nasheeds in gatherings, walking in the streets doing Dhikr etc. If you see an act you find suspicious the burden is on your shoulders to prove the impermissibility of that act. One of the basic Asools in Islam. To chant out Innovation innovation is not enough.
And Lol at people calling this a «desi» thing to celebrate Mawlid. Go and do some research on this and you will be surprised.

Both if you not answering my question. If one is goody goody Islam-wise, what's happening to their soul, where is there soul whilst they wait for Day of Judgment?
