SHOULD WE CELEBRATE EID MILAD UN NABI SAW? Dr Zakir Naik As we all know that our beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH was born in Islamic month of Rabi Ul Awal. Prophet Muhammad PBUH was sent as a blessing for all mankind to show right path to humanity for success in this world and in hereafter. On 12th date of Rabi Ul Awal many Muslims specially in Subcontinent celebrates Eid Milad Un Nabi as birthday of Prophet Muhammad SAW. The question is should we Celebrate Eid Milad Un Nabi SAW? to know that we will have to look back in the history that whether Prophet SAW himself celebrated his birthday? Or His Companions celebrated his birthday?? the answer is simply no. Prophet SAW or his Sahaba never celebrated their birthdays. There are only two Eids in Islam according to Quran and Sunnah that are Eid Ul Adha and Eid Ul Fitr. Eid Milad Un Nabi is a new invention whose no reference is available in Quran or Hadith. Prophet Muhammad SAW has clearly prohibited to invent any new thing in Islam and called it bid’ah. Rasool Allah SAW said Every innovation is a misguidance and every misguidance goes to Hell fire. The sad fact of todays Muslim Ummah is that many of us has started doing many new works in name of Islam that are no where present in Quran or Hadith but the important things about which Quran and Hadith have guided us again and again are not followed by us. REASONS WHY WE SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE Eid MILAAD UN NABI ✏ Eid Milad is not in Islamic Shariah, it was later introduced by Shia Fatimid in Egypt. ✏ Historians differed about the date of birth of Prophet SAW. Some said its in Ramadan, some in Shabaan and Some said its in Rabi ul awal. ✏ How can a Muslim rejoice and have party when on 12th Rabi al Awal our prophet died? ✏ Birthday celebration have pagan roots. Celebrating birthdays is not allowed at all. ✏ This celebration is neither from Sunnah nor Quran. Anything that is not part of these two can not be part of Islam... the Prophet SAW said, Stick to my sunnah and the sunnah of my rightly guided Caliphs, beware of Newly in vented matters, for every new matter is Bidah and every Bidah is misleading. (Tirmizi 2676) ✏ Allah says in [Surah al Maidah 3]. This day I have perfected your religion for you. When Islam is perfect and complete then who gave the authority to these people to introduce new things in Islam? ✏ Celebrating milaad is imitation of Christians and Jews. Jews celebrate birthday of Uzair, Christians celebrate birthday of Esa AS. while the Prophet Saw said, Whoever imitates a people becomes one of them. (Abu Dawood) ✏ Prophet SAW said, Be different from Mushrikeen. (Sahih Muslim) ✏ Prophet SAW said Do not exaggerate in praising me. [PLEASE SHARE & STOP PEOPLE FROM DOING THIS BIG SIN]
