Nature of Fatawa Against Eid Milad un Nabi (Peace upon him) ORMawlid There is not a single verse in the Quran OR a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) forbidding the celebration of Prophets birthday. However, those who oppose the birthday celebration of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) quote many verses from the holy Quran and Hadith giving an impression to the less knowledgeable Muslims that it is forbidden.They twist the meanings and insert their own biased opinions in Quran and Hadith. A few weeks ago, a brother gave me a fatwa handout against celebrating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). He said, there are several references from Quran and Hadith in the handout against Eid-Milad-un-Nabi. When you read those fatawa and handouts, you will never find a single verse from Quran or a single Hadith in which Allah OR His Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade to celebrate the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him).It is always a twisted interpretation of those verses from Quran and Hadith which are not even related to the topic. This is the deception, which ordinary Muslims do not understand. They just see the NUMBER of references made from Quran and Hadith not knowing that these references have nothing to do with Eid-Milad-un-Nabi (Birthday of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). The opponents of Eid-Milad-un-Nabi purposely misquote and misinterpret Quranic verses and the Hadith of Prophet (Peace be upon him) in order to misguide Muslims just likeQadyaniswho twist the meanings and the interpretation of the verses of the holy Quran and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to justify the legitimacy of their false Prophet.Eid-Milad-un-Nabi means birthday of Prophet (peace be upon him). The Muslim celebration of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is quite different from the Christian Celebration of Christmas, the birthday of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). What do Muslims do on the day of Eid Milad un Nabi (peace be upon him)? They organize gatherings in which Muslims discuss the birth, the life and the message of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). They feed the poor and the guests. They read the Quran and learn Quran from scholars. They praise Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and sing Naat / Nasheed (poems / rhymes). They reach out to non-Muslims and inform them about Islam.The day is celebrated with purely religious and spiritual aspects of an Islamic life.At this occasion Muslims remind themselves to love and follow Allahs last Messenger (Peace be upon him) in daily life. Eid Milad un Nabi (peace be upon him) is just like any other religious get-together of Muslims for the remembrance of Allah and His beloved Messenger (Peace be upon him).
