Maha means great. Yawm an-Nabī – The Day of the Prophet (Arabic) History[edit] The oldest Mawlid text is claimed to be from the 12th century and most likely is of Persian origin.[5] However The first mention ever made of the mawlid celebrations in any historical work comes in the writings of Jamāl al-Dīn Ibn al-Mamūn, who died 587 AH/1192 CE. His father was the Grand Vizier for the Fatimid Caliph al-Amir (ruled 494-524 AH/1101-1130 CE).Mawāīẓ al-itibār fī khiṭaṭ Miṣr wa-l-amṣār[6] The earliest observation of the Prophets birth as a holy day was arranged privately somewhere in the late twelfth century. The only difference from before was that there was an increased number of visitors to the Mawlid house that was open for the whole day specifically for this celebration. This particular event took place on Monday, 12 Rabii,[7] which is commonly known as the third month of the Islamic calendar that is associated with the beginning of Spring.[8] This celebration was introduced into the city Sabta by Abu lAbbas al-Azafi as a way of counteracting Christian festivals and to strengthen Muslim identity.[9] The mawlid was not the only celebration that was sponsored by the Fatimids. Al-Maqrīzi, in his Khiṭaṭ [10] Al-Maqrīzi writes in his Khiṭaṭ The Fatimid Caliphs had, throughout the year, a number of festivals and celebrations. These were: 1. New Years Eve, 2. Beginning of the year celebrations, 3. The Day of Āshūrā, 4. The birthday of the Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, 5. The birthday of Alī, 6. The birthday of al-Ḥasan, 7. The birthday of al-Husayn, 8. The birthday of Fāṭima al-Zahrā, 9. The birthday of the current Caliph, 10. The first day of Rajab, 11. The fifteenth day of Rajab, 12. The first day of Shabān, 13. The fifteenth day of Shabān, 14. The festival of Ramaḍān, 15. the first day of Ramaḍān, 16. The middle of Ramaḍān, 17. The end of Ramaḍān, 18. The Night of the Khatm, 19. The Day of Īd al-Fitr, 20. The Day of Īd of Sacrifice, 21. The Day of Īd al-Ghadīr, 22. The Cloth of Winter, 23. The Cloth of Summer, 24. The Day of the Conquest of the Peninsula, 25. The Day of Nawrūz [Persian festival], 26. The Day of Veneration [Christian], 27. Christmas [Christian], 28 Lent [Christian] The early celebrations included elements of Sufic influence, with animal sacrifices and torchlight processions along with public sermons and a feast.[11][12] The celebrations occurred during the day, in contrast to modern day observances, with the ruler playing a key role in the ceremonies.[13] Emphasis was given to the Ahl al-Bayt with presentation of sermons and recitations of the Quran. The event also featured the award of gifts to officials in order to bolster support for the ruling caliph.[14] Particularly in early Cairo, this holy day was celebrated by the court and the ruling class, not the common people.[7] Practice[edit] Milad procession in India Traditionally, many Sunni and most of the Shia scholars have approved celebration of Mawlid,[15][16] while the many other Sunni scholars[17][18][19] and the Ahmadiyya[20] oppose the celebration.[21] In the Muslim world, the majority of Islamic scholars are in favor of Mawlid. They consider observing Mawlid necessary or permissible in Islam, and see it as a praiseworthy event and positive development,[15][16] whilst the Salafists say it is an improper innovation and forbid its celebration. The complexity of the issue is best seen in the opinion of one Ahl al-Hadith scholar Ibn Taymiyya who wrote that it was a reprehensible (makrūh) innovative practice, although not forbidden (ḥarām), but since some observe the Prophets birthday out of a desire to show their love of the Prophet and thus deserve a great reward for their good intentions.[22] Mufti Ali Gomaa, Chief Mufti of the worlds oldest and largest Islamic university, Al Azhar in Egypt[citation needed], Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the primary scholar of the Muslim Brotherhood movement[citation needed], Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki, Grand Mufti of Cyprus Nazim Al-Haqqani[citation needed], Habib Ali al-Jifri of Yemen[citation needed], Syed Shujaat Ali Qadri, Muhammad Ilyas Qadri the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, Grand Mufti of Bosnia Mustafa Cerić, Abdalqadir as-Sufi, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Gibril Haddad, Shaykh Said Afandi al-Chirkawi, Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Grand Mufti of India Akhtar Raza Khan, Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musalyar of Markazu Saqafathi Sunniya and Zaid Shakir all subscribe to Sunni Islam, and have given their approval for the observance of Mawlid.[23] They suggest that fasting on Mondays is also a way of commemorating Muhammads birthday. For the first in English Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has published a book Mawlid al-Nabi Celebration and Permissibility defending the legality of Mawlid over more than 700 pages.[24] Scholars and preachers who consider Mawlid to be Bid‘ah and forbid its celebration belong to the Salafi, Deobandi and Qurʾāniyūn ideologies; they include Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd Allah ibn Baaz, who was the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia,[25] Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, the imam of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia,[26] Zakir Naik,[27] and Bilal Philips,[28] of the Salafi movement, and Ebrahim Desai who subscribe to the Deobandi movement. The Ahmadiyya also deem the celebration of Mawlid as an innovation in Islam. The remembrance of the Islamic prophet Muhammad is deemed a virtue and is encouraged, remembrance of the birth and death of the Prophet while relating his life (seerah) are also permissible but not when tainted with practices which interfere with the Unity of God. The holding of gatherings and processions which involve innovative practices and decorations on the 12th Rabiul awwal are condemned.[20] Ahmadis do, however, regularly hold gatherings called jalsa seerat-un-Nabi emphasising the life and legacy of Muhammad oriented towards both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences.[29] However, These gatherings are not considered obligatory nor is it necessary to hold them on a fixed date. Observances[edit] The Garebeg festival celebrating Mawlid in Yogyakarta, Java Island, Indonesia Under supervision of Shaykh Sufi Riaz Ahmed Naqshbandi Aslami, 2007 Mawlid is celebrated in most predominantly Islamic countries, and in other countries that have a significant Muslim populatiion, such as India, the United Kingdom, Russia[30] and Canada.[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] In most Arabian countries - i.e. Kuwait, Qatar, U.A.E, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain - it is not an official public holiday.[40] Participation in the ritual celebration of popular Islamic holidays is seen as an expression of the Islamic revival.[41] There is no one clear motive for people celebrating Mawlid, for the celebration itself appears to have sacred and profane elements.[42] Often organized in some countries by the Sufi orders,[43] Mawlid is celebrated in a carnival manner, large street processions are held and homes or mosques are decorated. Charity and food is distributed, and stories about the life of Muhammad are narrated with recitation of poetry by children.[44][45][46] Scholars and poets celebrate by reciting Qaṣīda al-Burda Sharif, the famous poem by 13th-century Arabic Sufi Busiri. A general Mawlid appears as a chaotic, incoherent spectacle, where numerous events happen simultaneously,all held together only by the common festive time and space.[47] These celebrations are often considered an expression of the Sufi concept of the pre-existence of Muhammad .[48] However,the main significance of these festivities is expression of love for the Prophet [47] Mawlid texts[edit] Along with being referred to as the celebration of the birth of Muhammad, the term Mawlid also refers to the text especially composed for and recited at Muhammads nativity celebration or a text recited or sung on that day.[43] These texts contain stories of the life of Muhammad, or at least some of the following chapters from his life, briefly summarized below:[43] The Ancestors of Muhammad The Conception of Muhammad The Birth of Muhammad Introduction of Halima Life of Young Muhammad in Bedouins Muhammads orphan hood Abu Talibs nephews first caravan trip Arrangement of Marriage between Muhammad and Khadija Al-Isra Al-Miradj, or the Ascension to heaven Al-Hira, first revelation The first converts to Islam The Hijra Muhammads death These text are only part of the ceremonies. There are many different ways that people celebrate Mawlid, depending on where they are from. There appears to be a cultural influence upon what kind of festivities are a part of the Mawlid celebration. In Indonesia, it is common the congregation recite Simthud Durar, especially among Arab Indonesians. Celebrations[edit] During Pakistans Mawlid, known in Urdu as Eid Milad-un-Nabi, a public holiday, celebrations and processions, the national flag is hoisted on all public buildings, and a 31-gun salute in Islamabad, capital of Pakistan, and a 21-gun salute at the provincial capitals are fired at dawn. The public and private building are illuminated with Fairy lights. The cinemas shows religious rather than secular films on 11th and 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal. Hundreds of thousands of people gather at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore between the intervening night of 11th and 12th Rabi al-awwal for Mawlid celebrations; this is the worlds biggest gathering for Mawlid celebrations. This is held under the banner of Minhaj-Ul-Quran and Shaykh-Ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri is the keynote speaker at the event.[49] The tradition of year round celebration of Eid Milad-un-Nabi is also observed. The A Na`at hymns that specifically praises Muhammad . The practice is popular in South Asia, ( Bangladesh, Pakistan and India), commonly in Urdu and Punjabi languages. People who recite Na`at are known as Naat-Khuaan or Sanaa-Khuaan. In many parts of Indonesia, the celebration of the Mawlid al-nabi seems to surpass in importance, liveliness, and splendour the two official Islamic holidays of Eid ul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.[50] The Indonesian Javanese week-long Sekaten celebration commemorates Mawlid in Central Java. In Qayrawan, Tunisia, Muslims sing and chant hymns of praise to Muhammad, welcoming him in honor of his birth.[51] Also, generally in Tunisia, people usually prepare Assidat Zgougou to celebrate the Mawlid.[52] Among non-Muslim countries, India is noted for its Mawlid festivities.[53][54][55] The relics of Muhammad are displayed after the morning prayers in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir at the Hazratbal Shrine, on the outskirts of Srinagar. Shab-khawani night-long prayers held at the Hazratbal Shrine are attended by thousands.[56] A banner with Maulid gretings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Other non-Muslim countries noted for their Mawlid festivities are Kenya and Tanzania, where it is known as Maulidi. In Kenya, the most famous place is the coastal island of Lamu[57][58][59] and Malindi. In Tanzania the largest celebrations are on the island of Zanzibar.[60][61] Islamic Unity Week[edit] Most of Shia scholar believe the 17th day of Rabi al-awwal is the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and most of Sunni scholar believe that is the 12th day of Rabi al-awwal. This issue led to assigning these days (12-17 Rabi al-awwal) as Unity Week by Islamic Republic of Iran to respect both viewpoints. So scholars and followers of these two sect emphasize on common ground against the common enemies.[62][63] Following, the International Islamic Unity Conference is hosted each year on this week, and scholars of Islamic world from various country gather together in Tehran with the aim of promoting intra-Islamic dialogue.[64][65][62] Other uses[edit] In some countries, such as Egypt and Sudan, Mawlid is used as a generic term for the celebration of birthdays of local Sufi saints and not only restricted to the observance of the birth of Muhammad.[66] Around 3,000 Mawlid celebrations are held each year and attended by tens of thousands of people. These festivals attract an international audience, with the largest one in Egypt attracting up to three million people honouring Ahmad al-Badawi, a local 13th-century Sufi saint.[3] See also[edit] Dua Durood Hamd Haḍra Madih nabawi Mehfil Naat Nasheed Mawlid al-Barzanjī Arabic music Islamic music Islamic poetry Mid-Shaban Sufi music Sufi poetry Sufism History of Sufism Ya Muhammad Notes[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b Mawlid.
