As Salaam O 'Alaykum Wa Rehmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh! Sibling in Islam,

Hope this mail finds you in the best of health and increasing state of emaan, Insha-ALLAAH!

THERE IS NO FESTIVAL IN ISLAMIC SHAREE'AH THAT IS CALLED “THE PROPHET'S BIRTHDAY”.

Neither the Sahaabah nor the Taabi’een nor the four
imams nor anyone else recognized such a day as part of their religion.
Rather this festival was introduced by some ignorant Baatini innovators (a shiya group from Egypt called Fatimides),
then the people began to follow this innovation but the imams have denounced it in every time and place.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAAH be upon him) said:

“Whoever does any deed that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.”

[Muslim]

Among the innovations that people have introduced is celebration of the Prophet’s birthday (Mawlid) in the month of Rabee’ al-Awwal. There are various ways in which they celebrate this occasion.

Whatever kinds of celebrations they are and whatever form they take, they are undoubtedly bid’ah and haraam innovations that were introduced long after the time of the best generations.

ALLAAH Says (translation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to mankind): “If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah), Allaah will love you and forgive you your sins”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:31]

In Deen, we reject anything & everything that ALLAAH or our Prophet Muhammad (alayhi salaatu was salaam) did not allow!
Any innovation in rejection and every rejection leads to hell fire! {we hear this in every Friday sermon}
