One poster mentioned that those who don't celebrate Christmas haven't read the Quran.
You seem quite educated so I thought I would check with you if maybe I had missed something.
Mawlid was not celebrated by Sahabas or the four Caliphs. It was also not a thing during the time of prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It started to become mainstream a few hundred years after Muhammad's (PBUH) death. In other words, it was added later on.
Mawlid is also not celebrated in KSA and Qatar as far as I know.
I only celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha because these two are explicitly mentioned in the Hadith. There is no mention of Mawlid in Quran or Hadith and earlier Sahabas or Caliphs didn't celebrate it.
Either way, we can always send our durood to Muhammad (PBUH) anytime we want. We don't need Mawlid for it.
