The Permissibility of Celebrating Milad-un-Nabi
When the Holy Prophetﷺ came to Madina, he found the Jews there keeping fast on the Day of Ashura (10th of Muharram). He questioned them about this and was told, “It was on this day that Allah(swt) saved and protected Hadrat Musa (as) from Firaun. In thanks of this, we fast.” The Holy Prophetﷺ replied, “We are closer to Musa (as) than you are.” He then kept fast himself and ordered this fast of Ashura to be kept.-Mishkaat, Kitaabus-Saum, Saumut-Tatawu, Section 3
Incidentally, this fast was Fardh in the beginning of Islam. Its obligation is now annulled (mansookh) but it being preferred (Mustahab) still remains. Regarding this very fast of Ashura, it was said, “O Prophet of Allah(swt), there is likeness towards the Jews in it.” He replied, “If we are alive next year, we shall keep two fasts.” – Ibid .In other words, the Holy Prophetﷺ did not forsake it. In fact, he increased it to be saved from similitude to the Jews.
why the units of namaaz are different. Fajr has two, Zohr has four, etc. these Salaahs are the remembrance of the past Prophets.
Hajj is the remembrance of Sayyidah Haajra, Hadrat Ibraheem (as) and Hadrat Ismail (as), Nowadays there is no need there to search for water nor is Shaitaan preventing Qurbaani occurring, but all acts of the Hajj, such as running between Safaa and Marwa, pelting the devil at Mina, etc. are still emplaced. They serve as remembrance.
The month of Ramadaan, especially Lailatul-Qadr (27th night), is the most excellent because the Holy Quran was revealed in them. Allah(swt) states in 2/185 and 97/1.When the Quran being revealed is the reason for Ramadaan and Lailatul-Qadr becoming distinguished, then through the birth of the Holy Quran Personified, Sayyiduna Rasoolul1ahﷺ, why cannot Rabbiul-Awwal and its 12th date be superior until the Day of Qiyaamat?
The day of Hadrat Ismail’s (as) sacrifice became known as a day of Eid (showing that the day on which Allah’s(swt) mercy descended on His favoured servant becomes a day of mercy until Qiyaamat).
Friday (Jumaa) is eminent because it was on this day that previous Prophets attained Divine favours (e.g. the creation of Hadrat Adam (as), sajda was made for him on this day, he came to the world on this day, the ark of Hadrat Nuh (as) reached land, Hadrat Yunus (as) came out of the belly of the fish, Hadrat Yaqoob (as) was reunited with his sons, Hadrat Musa (as) attained safety from Firaun, Qiyaamat will take place on this day, etc) All of these events have or will occur on the day of Friday, proving that it is the Leader of Days (Sayyidul-Ayyam).
Tuesday is the day of blood because it was the day wherein Habeel was killed and Sayyidah Hawa (ra) first experienced haiz.
Once, a person vowed to slaughter a camel at a place called Bawaana. The Holy Prophetﷺ asked him if there was any concentration or festival of the Kuffaar or idols there. When he said, “No,” the Prophet ﷺ replied, “Go and complete your vow.” -Mishkaat, Baabun-Nazar.
If these fixed dates are believed to be compulsory (Waajib). This is why keeping fast on only the day of Jumaa has been prohibited because there is likeness towards the Jews in this action. – Mishkaat, Baabu-Saumin-Nafl.
Prohibition for this could have also been made to either stop people from believing this fast to be Waajib or because Jumaa is the day of Eid and should not be made a day of fasting.
