Another important point!!! Another of their specious arguments is when they say that by celebrating the mawlid and reading the biography of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on this occasion, they are encouraging people to follow his example! We say to them that reading the biography of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and following his example are required of the Muslim all the time, all year long and throughout his life. Singling out a specific day for that with no evidence for doing so is an innovation, and every innovation is a going astray.Bidah does not bear any fruit but evil and it leads to a person distancing himself from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. In conclusion, celebrating the birthday of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, whatever form it takes, is a reprehensible innovation. The Muslims should put a stop to this and other kinds of bidah, and occupy themselves with reviving and adhering to the sunnah. They should not be deceived by those who promote and defend this bidah, for these types of people are more interested in keeping innovations alive than in reviving the sunnah; they may not even care about the sunnah at all. Whoever is like this, it is not permissible to imitate him or follow his example, even if the majority of people are like this. Rather we should follow the example of those who follow the path of the sunnah, among the righteous salaf (early Muslim scholars) and their followers, even if they are few. Truth is not measured by the men who speak it, rather men are measured by the truth.
