Who cares if they celebrate his birthday. What’s the harm?

If we go with that logic then the prophet also caused disarray amongest the families.
When you speak the truth it will cause disarray.
Even the hard core supporters of Milad agree that neither prophet has done it nor the companions.
Now , suppose we do it , it means one of the two things. First , the prophet knew about this but intentionally did not tell us.
Second , the prophet did not know it but the scholars who initiate it know this.
So , which is true? In both cases it is major sin .
Over 3 billion people do not believe Muhammad SAW was a prophet , they consider him to be liar , so will the numbers mean they are right ?
Allah says in Quran majority of mankind and jinns will be in hell , so are they right ? In Islam numbers are NOT criteria , it is evidence.
Debate is when you provide evidence.
As I said before even the hardcore sufis agree that this was not celebrated during life of the prophet or companions , that itself shows there is no evidence.
You need to read the whole paragraph , I did not say prophet was liar , If I believed in that I would not be writing here to defend Islam.
I said that majority doing something is NOT evidence of that thing being right. Hadeeth says that out of 1000 one will enter paradise.
My opinion or someone else opinion is insignificant , unless backed by evidence. In My opinion Shaan Masood is a better batsman than Lara , but will my opinion make my statement true?
In Islam opinion does not matter , what matters is evidence. If celebrating Milad was something good , there is NO reason why prophet himself would not do that or companions will not do that. There is NOT a single evidence to back it up.
So , those who celebrate it are saying that prophet did not know , but we know better than him or the prophet knew it but he intentionally hide from us. There cannot be a third reason.
Who cares if they celebrate his birthday. What’s the harm?
Disarray in regards to celebrating his own birthday or not? So do you agree or disagree with Milad?
Every religion is an overall minority if we take numbers in to consideration. The Jews also call Christ(as) worst then a liar too. Problem is critics expect the Qur'an to be a feel look book of stories which it is not. They don't understand the commentary or how and when it was revealed.
You didnt say he was a liar but the way you said it worried me. No one that loves our beloved Prophet talks like that, that's how his haters talk.
As I said on here many times,I have not seen anything bad but all good from the Milad celebrations. People go to Masjid that normally don't, they read namaz that they normally don't, they give charity that they normally don't. So who loses from all these gains. If you don't do it then that is all good but if you can tell me who loses then I am all ears
Are there any Muslim's like me here who do not celebrate Milad?
They still try to prove that we can ask from dead people.![]()
I consider Milad to be innovation , if someone says it is not they need to provide evidence.
There are many who do not.
Those who celebrate , they also have innovation is their aqeedah , that is they consider prophet to be made of light , or prophet knows all knowledge of unseen or prophet is present everywhere etc.
All these have no basis in quran and hadeeth. Thus most of the beliefs they gradually get from elders is word of mouth , and never bother to do any kind of research.
The irony is that whole life those Moulvis spend in learning arabic grammar sarf and Nawh but they still do not believe in the ayat of quran which they recite minimum 5 times a day .
You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.
QURAN 1:5

How haters talk like that ? Haters will allege him to be a liar , and they do indeed. Any one who is NON Muslim , for him Prophet is a liar . Do you doubt that ?
Also , if I hated , I would not be discussing this issue here , I would be happy with Muslims doing shirk and Innovation .
In Innovations good or bad is not consideration.
I give you an example , if instead of 3 rakkats in Maghrib I start praying 4 rakkats , what is bad in that ? I am praying to Allah , I am reciting Quran , also prostrating to Allah. The problem is that Allah wants me to worship Like what prophet did . Allah wants people to follow what prophet commanded and not use own brains in matters of religion.

Happy Eid Milad-un-Nabi to all who celebrate. Its a public holiday in India when I was in school.
What you mention here is practiced by a minority of Muslims.
Blowing yourself up is an innovation to, why don’t ya”ll show the same energy on that front unless you sympathise with terrorists
I also do not celebrate Mawlid. It is not something our Prophet (PBUH) did.
I only celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.
Why would you do 4 rakats when it is prescribed as farz to be 3. You can describe as going above and beyond and i have no problems with that description but to me it isnt an article of faith. I do it because i see it as good thing that brings people together to do good deeds but if it isnt for you then you to yours and me to mine.
Off course. Milad has nothing to do with Islam. Just an innovation nothing else. It’s surprising people are justifying it.
Is this thread discussing terrorists ?
Also , I do not think what you said is any evidence. If you want to know my opinion on Terrorism , kindly make a thread , I will respond.
It’s very relevant, you have more of an issue with Milad compared to terrorism.
From what we’ve seen, extremists don’t like Milad do they.
Show me some evidence which support extremism and doing a tik tik boom, I don’t feel it is in line with Islam
The whole Salafi/Wahabist based ideology as a whole is an innovation, it has only existed for around 200 years. This ideology helped enemies of Islam to conquer the holy lands of Muslims. Im not suggesting any poster has this but they are the ones who are strongly against Milad.
Yet they are pulling their trousers above their ankles in the cold thinking they are following the Sunnah when its an innovation.
Milad helps people to remember the Prophet(pbuh), get closer to his teachings and principles, it can never be a bad thing.
Its innovation. Personally i just believe in the Qoran and Sunnah.
Exactly. These people tend to incite extremist rhetoric and sure maybe not always they realise this. Their intolerance and character is highly questionable and so are their intentions, be careful which places of worship you visit. Some take it to the point where they dislike things like making a dua. It is very relevant to raise this when Milad comes around
Besides many who are against Milad celebrate their child's birthday, with expensive gifts, cakes , balloons etc.
Birthday has pagan origin (European paganism). I do not celebrate it. But, many Muslims still celebrate it because they probably do not know about the origin.

Depends on the issue. Anything to remember the Prophet(pbuh) is not an innovation. Maybe the marches around town are and not something Id personally participate in but every culture follows Islam slightly differently.

I think Muslims have bigger issues to deal with.
I dont think Muslims should be dividing themselves over this. But if you follow the Saudi ideology, you will be told and taught to hate. Im sure you are aware.
Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. Its going to the extreme and labelling others as extremists is completely out of order. I attended hajj of 2015, and one member of the group who was of brailvee clan refused to pray any of fard prayers in the Masjidi Nabwi because of the imam! Talk about being a completed bigot! Now that is going to the extreme!
There are extremists or people with extreme views in all faiths and all sects of a faith. I will go pray in any Sunni masjid, wont ask what the sect is as long as they are Sunni Muslims. The problem for Muslims is they are offended too easily by other Muslims, instead of accepting them as Muslims with different views.
I believe the Saudis wanted to change the dome at the Prophet(pbuh) masjid in Medina because its green in colour. Nobody is more extreme than them.
I asked if I pray 4 rakkats will that Barelvi Moulvi who is celebrating Milad speak against it or accept that ?
If as you said something bad is not coming out , we can do good things , then salah is also good thing , praying extra rakkat is not an issue. If they issue is it is not prescribed , then the same is the reason for Milad.
The saudi government, their beliefs, should have little baring on ones mentality to pray at masjidi harrum or masjidi nabvi. Its the people themselves who refuse and make pathetic excuses need to take a good look at themselves. Refusing to pray behind a imam at the blessed mosques is indeed a loser.

I dont know who this one person is. I do know who the Saudis are. The Imams there have no freedom to pick or choose their talks, Khuttbahs. Recently one did, he was jailed for 10 years.
The day the Saudi regime is no longer the more united Muslims will be and Islamic nations will start to prosper again.
How is Saudi Arabia holding back other nations from prospering?I dont know who this one person is. I do know who the Saudis are. The Imams there have no freedom to pick or choose their talks, Khuttbahs. Recently one did, he was jailed for 10 years.

I agree that Saudi regime is corrupt.
MBS is extremely corrupt.
I hope one day we will have a proper regime in charge of Mecca and Medina. In sha Allah. Last time that happened was when Ottomans were in charge.

Arabs were deprived of their freedom and power for four centuries, when they fell under the influence of the Ottoman Turkish culture that drained them, oppressed them and made them a subordinate race. Moreover, public life declined between the Arab world and the Arabs themselves during the Ottoman era.I agree that Saudi regime is corrupt.

That is why I said majority is not evidence of something being right, There was atime when a huge majority of human believed the earth to be centre of solar system , but they were not right.
I commeneted because someone posted a picture of a big crowd celebrating milad, that being posted in this thread is trying to show that since a big number doing something it means it is right.
Why would you ask that because its prescribed. And if you prayed the extra rakat it wouldnt count so i dont know what your point is. As the Aqeeda you follow has only been widespread since the British decided that they wanted to throw the Turks out and replace them with their appointees commonly known as the house of Saud, and became their sponsors, what did you guys do before. Brelvis do go over the top with some things, and no one is forced to accept them, i certainly dont. But you guys are obsessive. So give it a rest, you to yours and me to mine
There are many who do not.

Dividing oneself into sects is wrong whether it is salafi , sufi , deobandi , shia etc , this is very clear from Quran.
Having garments above ankles is not innovation , I am not sure from whom you heard that , because there are quite a few hadeeth about this. If you want I can mention a few.
I am sure the first three generations of Muslims also remembered and followed the prophet , they did not need to innovate something for that.
I have not seen any one who is celebrating childs birthday and claiming the he will get reward for that. Innovation is in deen , not on worldly activities.
Yes , there are many issues , but I am bound by the topic of the thread , you do not expect me to discuss pakistan vs Newzealand here on this thread ?

The day the Saudi regime is no longer the more united Muslims will be and Islamic nations will start to prosper again.
We also have to remember that even two biggest religions in the world have many groups and sub groups. I have seen Muslim's argue among themselves as to what group is right and what ones are wrong. The advantage Islam has over Christianity is we only have one Qur'an where as they have many versions of the Bible with none it's it's original form.
Any religion is only as good as the actions of it's believers. Never mind what happened centuries back when currently the Muslim's are the most struggling and backward community in the world in terms of education and human rights.
I attended this weird celebration when they had lights on as if it's Christmas. People were dancing then finally cut a cake as if it was the birthday or a normal person. When the Muslim's didn't celebrate his birthday when he was alive then why do so now. This guy started to argue with me when i said how the Prophet(saw) was no longer on the world.
The obsession of following Arab culture is not only restricted to Pakistanis anymore. We are however the most recent of people who seem ignorant about Islam and Arab culture.
If Muslims truly agree over Quran , the issues would have been solved. Quran clearly mentions NOT to make any divisions among ourselves.
You should have asked him , that if prophet is not dead , can you show me one single incidence where the prophet interferred with the world activities after he passed away ?
For example why did Aisha RA not ask prophet whether she should go out in battle of Jamal or companions did not come and ask which side they should fight for in Siffin or hanafis and hanbalis not ask whether prophet did rafa yadain or not .
Showing your ankles is taken incorrectly imo. Islamic is a logical way of life not based on strange acts such as this. The meaning is dont show pride or arrogance as in those days rich used to let their garments hang low, almost like a dress behind them when walking. There is no logic of showing your ankles, esp when its cold.
Its not about reward , many who say Milad is biddah celebrate their kids birthday, we both know this. Because they love them not for reward.
Out of interest which speakers to you listen to in Canada, Nouman Ali Khan one of them? I know he is American.
You must have heard of the likes of Zaid Hamid who believes the Prophet(saw) participated in one of the Indo-Pak wars. According to Zaid he was seen marching out of Medina in a state of fury to defend Pakistan. Such people will make up stories or narrate someone else's view to justify their stupidity. Millions of Muslim's believe in the return of isa(as) but certainly not Hazoor(saw).
Layman people are not to be blamed that much because they never do own research . Our lives are very busy , it is difficult for people to take time out for religion. Its an irony that people spend so much and strive so much for perfection in worldly activities , but when it comes to religion we simply believe whatever is told to us.
The real culprit are those scholars and speakers , who hide the truth from people. Such people will be in big trouble on the day of judgement for misguiding people.

Who are Nuseria? What about Ismailis, Alawaites?You can interpret those hadeeth in that manner , but if someone is following the words of hadeeth and putting garments above ankle , it cannot be an innovation , because there are straight forward hadeeth with same meaning , not one but several , and strong punishment against it.
On the other hand we have Milad , which even the hard core sufis agree was not done by first three generations , so both are two different cases.
Yes you are right I agree with that. No one celebrates birthday as thing of reward , unlike Milads . Also , Birthdays are cultural thing , its not associated with religion in any way.
I listen to everyone , irrespective of there sects. I consider them all Muslims except Ahmedis and Nuseriya .
Many people have claimed to have talked to God , there are several even today who claim , point is to prove authentically.
Muslims believe in return of Isa AS because authentic hadeeth says so , he was not dead. Muhammad SAW was dead , because there are hadeeth which shows he passed away on a certain day , and was buried , the grave is still there.
Zaid Hamid is a true patriot.Fought in Afghant war ( 1st one). True patriot
As usual as soon as you state it’s not from Islam. You get Pakistanis calling you extreme, wahabi, salafi, Saudi etc.
Yes I agree the scholars are to be baed but normal people are to be blamed too if they are celebrating it they need to with evidence where there is none. If they can take a day of work for these marched they surely can take few minutes to read about it.
No one is questioning his patriotism or love for Pakistan. It is many of the other things he claims that are plain stupid. He and his anti west and love of Arab's was properly exposed by the likes of Hassan Nisar many years back. Zaid thinks he's the only one who loves Pakistan, he starts abusing people when he can't convince them of his point of view.

Anyone who contradicts the basic teachings of Islam needs to be corrected. The existence of Allah can not be proved like critics want for it to. It is like proving love and other human emotions. I think we can all talk to Allah but there is no evidence other then an individual's faith that he is listening. We do talk to him when making salat or can do so on our own.
It is simply impossible for Prophet(saw) to return as a human or a spirit to fight any war. Isa(as) has a reason to return that is to fight and destroy Dajjal and make peace between the three Semitic religions and world at large.
Nuseriya is off shoot of shia , even the main stream Itna ashariya , zaydi shias consider them as Non Muslims , because they associate divinity with Ali.
Ismaili I am not sure because I am yet to meet one who will give me right information about them about there aqeedah. But from what I have gathered , there believes are against fundamentals of Islam. I am sure that those aqeedah even shia scholars would be against.
If I go by internet or books written by other groups against them then it is not fair , aqeedah is something that person himself has to say.
Alawites and Nuseriya are same thing.
FYI. Nuseriya is an offensive way to refer to Alewives.
Whatever the name , the fundamental is that they believe Ali to be divine.
They do correct but when you put your foot on the belief of own sect then they start shouting .
When Ahmedis claim Mirza Ghulam is a prophet then they get angry , but when it comes to asking help from others , that ayat they cannot see in Quran. There response is selective .
We talk or not Allah knows everythink , even those what we think !
Isa AS is an exception , his birth was a miracle , life was also a miracle . Exceptions are there in other things as well , but that does not make it a rule.
You have to give respect to get respect back.
If you keep judging other Muslims about their faith, there will not be any Muslims remaining.
I've heard that he has been boycotted by television media since years? Is it true?

He is incredibly rude and aggressive towards those who disagree with him including ladies calling them traitors for no reason. More then being boycotted all his predictions have been proved wrong. He tells people to stop using Zionist Facebook when he has an account himself! In Saudi he was jailed by the Arab's who he loves so much.
I was kidding. Sorry. I think he is totally mad
