Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Rajab, Ibn Jawzi & Ibn Kathir on "Mawlid un Nabi"

Hafiz Ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani writes that:  "The Days of Allah' refers to the day on which Allah Almighty has done a favour on mankind.  For example, the freedom of Banu Isra'il from the slavery of Fir'awn" [Ibn Kathir,Tafsir Ibn Kathir; Qadi Shawkani, Fath al-Qadir]

Friday is a special day for Muslims because this is the day that Allah created Prophet Adam (alaihis salaam).  [Muslim, 'Book of Jumu'a'; also Ta'rikh Ibn Kathir, vol.1, 'Story of Adam']

Hafiz Ibn Kathir writes that Abu Lahab freed Thuwayba on the day that the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa aaleh) was born.  [Ibn Kathir, Sirat an-Nabi, 'Birth of the Prophet']
