MILAD UN NABi and its reality It is not the part of Sunnah of Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or of the khaleefahs who succeeded him. Since this is the case, then it is a forbidden innovation, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I urge you to follow my Sunnah and the way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs after me; adhere to it and cling to it firmly. Beware of newly-invented things, for every newly-invented thing is an innovation (bid’ah) and every innovation is a going-astray.” [Narrated by Ahmad, 4/126; al-Tirmidhi no. 2676] Did the Sahaabah celebrate the Milad?The Sahaabah were witnesses to the revelation of the Quraan. They had the Prophet right in front of their eyes. They ate, drank, sat, slept, talked, walked, lived with the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam). If they misunderstood anything or were mistaken, the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) immediately corrected them. And thus, their understanding and practice of Islaam was the best. Yet, when we look at the lives and practice of the Sahaabah, we find that none of them EVER celebrated the birth of their beloved Prophet, whether during his life or even after he passed away.Not Abubakr, not Umar, not Usman, not Ali, nor Ayesha, Ibn Umar, Ibn Masud, Talha, Az-Zubair, not a single Sahaabi.Doesnt that prove anything? The Sahaabah absolutely loved the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam)They gave up their homes, families, lives, everything they had... for his sake, in the blink of an eye. Yet this love did NOT promote them to celebrate his birth. This love translated into the practical application of his teachings and NOT picking the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal as a day of celebration. LETS ANALYZE 1-ABU BAKR RA ruled for more or less 2 years (never celebrated) 2-UMAR FAROOQ RA ruled for more or less 10 years (never celebrated) 3-USMAN GHANI RA ruled for more or less 12 years(never celebrated) 4-ALI BIN ABI TALIB RA ruled for mroe or less 4 years (never celebrated) when all these great caliphs didnt celebrate then who are we to transgress ? I ask Allaah to help us adhere to His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger until the Day when we will meet Him. May Allaah grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. Aameen!
