Totally agree, its not farz. If people are not comfortable then they shouldnt do it. Some of the barelvis getting just as fanatical as the whabbis when it comes to imposing their views
Didn't you just answer your own self?
"It's not Farz" (and I think, not a Sunnah either) - so technically, theoretically, ideally and logically speaking, those who celebrate Eid Milaad, must have completed
ALL Farz (and all sunnah), and now they have enough time and resources left to celebrate Milaad because there is no other farz (and sunnah) left to do?
Remember, we have a limited time and resources and we are supposed to make best of our time and our resources.
And when we are raised from the dead, we will probably be questioned about all the FARZ.
And on another note,
From the hadeeth, we know that the prophet (saw) said, and the closest meaning is,
"Cleanliness is half faith" (Safayee nisf emaan hai).
Have you seen the situation of Pakistani cities? The entire country looks like one huge trash pile.
Where are the "Aashiqaan-e-rasool (saw) to work day and night to clean up the country and promote and encourage the rest to keep our place of living clean because it's part of prophet (saw) life and his sunnah?
The same streets where the ceremonial crowds pass through, are littered with trash and kachra gandagi and ghalaazat. What an irony!
I would rather ask the "Aashiqan-e-rasool(saw) to adopt a city street, or mohallah and wipe it clean in the love of our prophet's (saw) hadeeth.
Islamic doctrine, in general wants ACTION to support your words.
The gathering to recite naats is only talk. Ideally, there has to be some action to support these love claims.
Growing a long beard, making a miswaak stick out of your pocket, raising your shalwaar to expose your ankles, won't do it.
