The festivals of a nation signify the aqeedah (beliefs) of that nation and our deen has 2 Eids as the only days of celebration. Plus birthday celebrations date back to the times of pagans and the Christians, so it also comes under the heading of imitation of the People of the Book. Thus the celebrations of 12th Rabi-ul-Awaal is a Bid’ah from every aspect. We should celebrate milaad every year and every month and every minute and every second, by practicing the sunnahs of the prophet Sallallaa’ho Alayhe wasallam. These jalooss in which men and women mingle through markets is not Deen. In prophets life, this month came 63 times without a doubt, but he never ever told Sahaba (Radi’Allahu anhum ajmaeen) to celebrate it, nor did khulfa-e-rashideen practice this so those who are doing this today are on a manifest error. Its a clear bidah and has roots only in late 19th century. Moreover, there is no concept of birthday celebrations in Islam. BarakAllahu lee walakum
