The Permissibility of Celebrating Milad-un-Nabi
5/114-Hadrat Esa (as) made the day in which the Heavenly Table-Spread (Maa’ida) descended to be a day of Eid .
Surely the coming of the Holy Prophetﷺ is a greater blessing than this. For this reason, the day of his birth is also the day of Eid.
15/7–The coming of Sayyiduna Rasoolullahﷺ is the greatest blessing of Allah(swt).
“Publicize well the favours of your Lord.” 93/11
the Holy Prophet’sﷺ coming to this world is the greatest of all Divine favours. Allah(swt) has reminded us of this. Thus, to publicize it is practicing upon the instruction of this verse.
The Ahadith state, “When Abu Lahab died, some of his family members saw him in a dream in a very terrible state. They asked him what he experienced so far, and he replied, “After being separated from you, I did not receive any goodness. Yes, I receive water from this finger because I used it to free my slave, Thuwaiba.”Bukhari, Vol. 2, Kitaabun-Nikaah, Baabu Wa Ummahaatukum.Abu Lahab was the brother of Hadrat Abdullab (ra), On the day Sayyiduna Rasoolullahﷺ was born, his slave, Thuwaiba, came to him and said that a son was born in the home of his brother, Hadrat Abdullah (ra), he pointed with his finger to her out of happiness and said, “Go, you are free.” Abu Lahab was an infamous kaafir
Abu Lahab expressed joy on the birth of his nephew, not on the Messenger of Allah(swt) We demonstrate happiness on the birth of the Beloved and Prophet of Allah(swt). So, when He is our Master and we are His bondsmen, will Allah(swt) not bless us all?
The Hadith that states, “Whatever action or practice is deemed to be good by the Muslims is also recognized as good in the sight of Allah(swt).”
The Holy Quran states, “So that you, O Muslims, be witnesses,”
The Prophet ﷺ also states, “You are witnesses of Allah(swt) on earth.” Hadith Sharif
48/29- Allama Ismail Haqqi (ra) writes, “Having Meelad Sharif is a respect to the Holy Prophetﷺ when it is free from incorrect practices. Imam Suyuti states, “It is preferred (Mustahab) for us to express thanks on the Holy Prophet’sﷺ ill birth.”– Tafseer Roohul-Bayaan
the Holy Quran states, “O Believers! If you wish to something quietly to the Prophet ﷺ, give out some charity before you do. This is better and purer for you.” This ayat makes it known that in the initial stages of Islam, it was necessary on the wealthy to give out some charity before having consultation with the Noble Messenger ﷺ. Thus, Hadrat Ali (ra) gave a dinaar in charity and learnt ten Islamic laws from the Prophet. The obligation of this ayat was later nullified. – Tafseer Khaazaainul-Irfaan, Khaazin, Madaarik
Shah Abdul-Azeez Muhaddith Dehlwi, “In the book Shabul-Irnaan, Imam Baihaqi(ra) narrates on the authority of Hadrat Ibn Umar (ra), “Hadrat Umar (ra) learnt Surah Baqarah, with all of its secrets and clandestine knowledge, for 12 years. When he completed his study, he slaughtered a camel, prepared various dishes and fed the Sahaaba.” – Tafseer Fat’hul-Azeez, Pg. 86
Hazrat Imam Shafi’i (ra) said: “Any thing which opposes (or changes) the Quraan, Sunnah, Ijma (consensus) or the sayings of the Sahabah is Bid’ah. Any good deed which is not opposed to them is praiseworthy”. (Meelad celebration does not oppose any of them).
As in the practices of Haj, the running between Safa and Marwa are legal in order to refresh the remembrance of pious people.
Hazrat Moulana Abdus Sammi’ (ra) has counted 73 names of great scholars of Islam who wrote about the validity of Meelad celebrations. (Anwaare Saati’a)
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
