MILADU ANNABAWI 9 ميلاد النبي صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم Shekh Waliullah (1713-1762) (r) has written in his book “Fuyudhul Haramain” as follows: QUOTE - I participated in a Miladun Nabi (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) celebration in Makka Al-Mukarrama wherein people were reciting Durood and Salaam on Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and were narrating the incidents that were witnessed at the time of the birth of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and the incidents which were observed before the birth of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). During these celebration I witnessed Allah’s (سبحانہ و تعا لی)mercy and ‘noor’ being showered over the gathering. I do not say that I witnessed this extraordinary happening only from my physical eyes or exclusively from spiritual eyes; however when I considered about it closely, I realized that these kind of ‘Anwaar’ may have been the result of the Angels who attend these gatherings or it was the result of exclusive ‘Rahma’ from Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) or both. UNQUOTE . (Shekh Waliullah (r), Hadith Scholar in his book ‘Fuyudhul Haramain’ pages 80-81) The above Quranic verses, Ahadith and quotes confirm that arranging peoples’ gatherings, describing events of Prophet’s (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) birth and showing happiness and greeting each other on the birth day of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) is Sunnah and practice of Sahabah. Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) has confirmed that those who arrange nativity gatherings on his birth day, his (Prophet Mohammad’s - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) intercession for them becomes legitimized. There are no limitations on showing happiness during the celebration of the birth day of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). Muslims all over the world have different customs in celebrating Eids and important national/Islamic occasions. Muslims can wear new clothes, lighten their homes and mosques, distribute sweets, greet each other in their traditional styles, take out Milad processions, arrange gathering of people, feed people, conduct Sama, Salam, Durood Mehfils and inform people about the Seerah of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). No bars, anything can be done to show your love of Prophet Mohammad(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)within the ambiance of Sharia. Salafis and their like minded groups confuse innocent Muslims about the Birth Day celebrations of Prophet Mohammad(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). When you question them about the legitimacy of their self concocted beliefs, they try to confuse you by their lengthy explanations. They cannot deny the birth day celebrations of Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) as it is proved by Quran and Ahadith; therefore, they try to confuse innocent Muslims by their unfounded explanations.
