اسد صاحب السلام علیکم 

پیارے بھائی آپ کو پورا حق حاصل ہے اختلاف کا اور یہ آپ کی مرضی ہے کہ آپ ان دلائل کو مانیں یہ نہ مانیں ، لیکن میں دین کے ایک ادنیٰ سے طالب علم کی حیثیت سے صرف اتنا کہنا چاہوں گا کہ بشمول اس مضمون کے  جس پر ہم تبصرہ کر رہے ہیں اور اس کے ساتھ ساتھ جتنے تبصرے اس کے حق میں شائع ہو چکے ہیں وہ تمام کے تمام ٹھوس دلائل ، اور ثبوت و شواہد پر مبنی ہیں۔ دلائل اپنی عقل سے یا کسی عالم کی کتاب سے نہیں دیے گئے بلکہ اللہ رب العالمین کے کلام اور پیارے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے فرمان سے دیے گئے ہیں۔

ہمارا کام ہر گز یہ نہیں کہ دین کہ معاملہ میں سختی اختیار کی جائے ، بلکہ ہمارا مقصد صرف اور صرف یہ ہے کہ قرآن و حدیث کی روشنی میں بغیر کسی مسلکی اور فقہی تعصب سے بالاتر صحیح ترین بات عوام الناس تک پہنچائی جائے۔ اب یہ آپ کی مرضی ہے کہ اسے مانیں یہ اس سے اختلاف کریں ۔ داعی اسلام کی حیثیت سے ہم آپ کے ساتھ بھلائی کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں اور اللہ رب العزت سے دعا کرتے ہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ ہمیں اور آپ کو بلکل سیدھے راستے پر چلائے ۔ آمین

آپ کا مخلص اور دینی بھائی

Its funny that you are still holding your view irrespective of the evidences put forth by many of the brothers here.

 Brother! we salafis are persons who strive to follow on the way of the salaf [i.e. sahaba, tabeean, and taba tabieen], ALHAMDULILLAH we have unbiased nature, we only stive to follow Prophet sallallahu alyhe wasallam and his pious companions [May ALLAH be please with them] through evidences in the Quran and Authentic Sunnah, no body is perfect, and i challenge even if YOU point out a single thing in us which is agianst the clear teachings of Quran and Authentic Sunnah through authentic evidences, we will first say "Thank YOu" to you and change our stance on the issue as mentioned in the Ahadith or Quran.

Because our intention is to follow Quran and Sunnah not our desires or any ones desires. 

lets see what is called extremism and what is the middle path. 

What ever is in the Shariah is the middle path because Our Prophet sallallaho alyhe wasallam was sent by Almighty Allah to teach as the middle path.

What ever extends beyound the Shariah, as adding new things in shariah and then insisting on it is EXtremism!

And what ever fall short of the Shariah , as substracting things from Shariah and then insisting on it is also a form of Extremism!

 Regarding convincing and criticizing:

Its Muhammad sallallaho alyhe wasallam who was the first person[in his ummah] to criticize false gods worshiped by the mushrikeen of mekkah, and he was also the first person who convinced them about only one GOD "ALLAH" 

If one person says 2+2=5, and other says 2+2=4 i have to say second one is correct and first one in wrong even if the whole world goes behind the first one, because quantity doesnt matter, Ibrahim allayhe salam was the only person with his wife and son as muslims in his ummah, Nooh allayhe salaam propagated for 950 years  and only handful of people accepted islam! Majority has never been with the people of tauheed.

Its our duty as a muslim to convince or criticize fellow muslim if we are seeing him/her that he/she is not on the straight path because we will be questioned by ALLAH about this on the day judgment, and the same person who dont like it when you try to correct them, these same persons will point fingers towards people of correct aqeedah in the day judgment that they didnt tell any thing to us!

two opposite things cant be right, one has to be wrong and one must be right!

its same as some people say that all religions lead to ALLAH it doesnt matter which religion you follow. ASTAGHFIRULLAH!

we as muslims know that , the only religion in the sight of ALLAH subahanhu wata'aala is islam, now the question is How do we follow this religion? any way? or only by the way of the Prophet and his companions?

there is ONLY ONE way to Islam

There is ONLY ONE way to the paradise

that is the way of Prophet sallallaho alyhe wasallam and his pious companions. [May ALLAH be pleased with them all]

think about it!

Let us agree to disagree. If you are salfi and do not want to celebrate Eide Milad,

you do not celebrate it. But you have no right to convince or criticize others who 

do not agree with you view point. You are extremists and Islam likes the middle path.

Celebration of Eide Milad is a blessing  as we are able to repeat his blessed deeds and

revitalize our Eeman.

I request the moderatior of this forum to enable me to write in urdu for the benefit of

Or] of those who have divided their religion and become sects,

 every faction rejoicing in what 
it has. 
[Al-Quran chapter#30, Verse#32] 

so to speak about differences is not called making sects, its called resolving

 issues that have differences!

by resolving issues with unbiased eye we can very well be one ummah,

 and we will be united. But we can only be united 

on Quran and authentic sunnah of our prophet sallallhu alyhe wasallam, 

not on any tom, dick and 

harry's interpretation.

 look at the words, every faction rejoicing in what it has! so not to speak 

about differences is called 

making permanent divisions in the religipon

faction doesnt always means a large group it can even be a small group 

and it can even be a single person! 

Anyone coming up with a  new idea in the religion,  argue about it with 

others and trying to force

 his OWN opinion on others is called making faction

that is exactly what you are doing here!

 as with your own words making faction is HARAM, so dont get involved 

in it, why are you so strict in your OWN 

interpretation of the religion and rejecting all other interpretation just

 because of your biased nature?

its you who is turning a blind eye towards authentic ahadith against 

innovation in the religion of our beloved prophet

and now claiming that you love him! wow! May ALLAH save us from 

this kind of love.

its just like i keep slapping my child on his face and keep on saying 

that beta i love you!

 this is what quran calls making "Faction",

 we can only agree on the decision of quran and 

ahadith there is no space of personal additions and deletions in

 the religion of ALLAH.

Regarding Name "Ahle Hadith" i agree that Allah has given us the name

 "Muslim" 

who has deny it?

its because of black sheeps [who are in every community] due to which

 people who are still adhering to

 true teachings of Prophet Muhammad sallallhu alyhe wasallam

and sahaba radi allahu anho  distinguished themselves from the

 innovators and mushrikeen by using another label

and its not wrong to have another label you cant prove it wrong with 

quran and hadith without twisting there meanings which will be visible

 to

people clearly INSAHLLAH.

sahaba did the same when some groups arises with different aqeedah at 

the time of ALI radi allaho anho like khawarij etc sahaba used 

a label other than muslim for themselves called "Ahlus Sunnah" after 

that, at the time of Tabeain when some people 

who used to call themselves "Ahlus Sunnah" deviated away from the 

saheeh aqeedah, they used "Ahlul Hadeeth" as a label

to distinguish themselves. All the muhadditheen and top notch scholars 

of that time used to call themselves "Ahlul Hadeeth"

In the end, its not the label which matters, whether you are following 

prophet muhammad sallalho alyhe wasallam or not this matters

so even if some one calls oneself ahlul hadeeth this doesnt guarantee 

paradise for him he has to act  upon the teachings 

of the prophet, so label is just for a very small social benefit, as to identify

 people according to their aqeedah, as we live in 

community we have to marry, give zakaat, and many others social 

duties.and you know very well that two persons 

of different mentality cant live togather. we should take examples 

of Dr. Zakir Naik and Dr. Farhat Hashmi [Alhuda international] who are 

adhering to the salafi manhaj and propagating it  without 

labeling themselves as ahlul hadeeth or

salafi so we as ahlul hadeeth have 

nothing against them since they are on correct aqeedah and 

they are propagating correct aqeedah! 

 I advice you to open your eyes to the truth, stop being biased, there

 is a huge world outside your thinking, dont force your false 

interpretations on every one,

 for interpretation to be correcte it has to be backed up by solild evidence 

which is Quran and Saheeh Ahadith

 in this case,and  you are failed to come up with any Hadeeth with 

 your arguements,   learn how to do a debate on a religious issue, 

and learn to accept if you are wrong, there is no harm in 

accepting that i am wrong.

A little shame is better than hell fire.

kitni ajeeb baat hy k log eid meelad ki baat kartay hen aur aar letey hen is baat ki k jeee Rasool (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki seerat batanay men kia ghalat hy? Allah kay nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki tareef karnay main kia burai hy? Sunnat aur hadeeth ki baat karnay main kia burai hy?

merey bhai, hamaray masleh ka mowzoo tau nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki seerat ki baat karnay ya nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki tareef karnay ya sunnat o hadeeth ki baat karnay ka tha hi nahi. baat tau thi EID MEELAAD UN NABI mananay ki, ab us main seeerat ki baat ki jati hy ya nahi, nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki tareef bayan ki jaati hy ya nahi, sunnat O hadeeth ki baat ki jaati hy ya nahi ye tau baad ki baat hy, pehlay is naee eid ka javaz tau thabit ho, phir baat ki jaye gi keh log is main nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki hadeeth bayan kartay hain ya jhooti riwayaat bayan kar k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ka mazak uratay hain aur khud b jahannumi bantay hayn aur un riwayaat ko sun k phailanay walon ko b jahannumi banatay hain. aur log in mehfilon main nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki tareef bayan kartay hain ya nabuwwat kay maqam se utha kar Allah k maqam tak punhcha detey hain. aur in mehfilon main jo khana khilaya jata hy woh Allah kay naam par hota hy ya ghair ullah kay naam par. aur in mehfilon main seerat ki baat ki jati hy ya nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) kay deen ki bunyaaad ki khilaaf warzi kartay huay ghairullah say faryaad rasi ki jaati hy. yeh sab tau baad ki baaten hen !

merey dost baat yeh hey keh aap nay kaha k eid meelaad un nabi manana sawaab ka kaam hy, aap nay kaha yeh mustahabb hy. main kehta hun yeh kaisa sawaab ka kaam hy jis ka na nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ko maloom na un kay sahaba ko maloom sirf aaj k jahilon ko maloom hy.

mera aik sawaal hy , Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) pe deen mukammal hua k nahi? agar hua tau kaisa mukammal hua keh us main aik sawaab k kaam ka zikr hi nahi aya? Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ne jo deen chora hy hamaray paas us main is eid meelaad un nabi ka zikr nahi laken tum nay kaha ye sawaab ka kaam hy, tau mujhay batao yeh wahi Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) k baad kis k uper aaee k yeh b sawaab ka kaam hy? batao... ghulam ahmed qadyani ne b tau yehi kaha tha k kuch baten muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ne batai thin kuch main bata raha hun keh fulaan kaam savaab ka hy fulaan gunah hy, tum nay b yehi kaha k kuch baaten Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) nay batai thin kuch hum nay khud bana li hen.

 merey bhai, nabi ka kaam kia hota hy mujhay batao?.... pehla kaam hota hy logon ko Allah ki tawheed ki taraf bulana , akailay Allah ki ibadat ki taraf bulana aur doosra kaam hota hy ibadat ka tareeqa batana aur ibadat ka tareeqa b nabi aur rasool apni taraf se nahi batata balkay wohi batata hy jo Allah ki taraf se wahi kia jata hy. sharee'at sazi ka ikhtiaar sirf Allah ko hy, nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ko b shariat sazi ka ikhtiar nahi. Allah nay farmaya

"And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
We would have seized him by the right hand;Then We would have cut from him the aorta. "Al Haaqqa ayah 69

mujhay yeh batao, yeh kehna k fulaan din manana sawaab ka kaam hy, ye shariat sazi hy ya nahi?

aur jahan tak baat hy bid'ah hasanah ki tau sun lo , Allah k nabi  (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) farmatay tha "Kullu bid'atin Dalala" har bid'at gumrahi hy.

jahan tak baat hy monday ka roza rakhnay ki tau yeh sunnat hy, tau rakho na monday ka roza kis nay mana kia hy, jo sunnat hy us pe amal kartay nahi aur bid'aat ejaad kar li hain.

aur daleel b li tau abu lahb se, jis kay baray main rabb nay kaha "tabbat yada abi lahabin wa tabb" .....un se koi daleel nahi mili jin kay baray main rabb nay kaha "in amanu bi mithli maa amantum bihi faqadehtadaoo"

 aur tum nay kaha aaj musalmanon ko zaroorat hy is eid meelaad ki, haye.... iqbal nay kaha tha "khud badaltay nahi quran ko badal detey hen" hum nahi badlen gay, hum deen ko badal den gay......Aoodhubullahi min dhaalik

qayamat ka din hoga, Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) haudh e kauthar pe hum se milen gay, pani pilayen gay, aur jo koi woh pani piye ga us ko kabhi piyaas nahi lagay gi, kuch logon ko us waqt Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) kay paas anay serok liya jaye ga Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) kahain gay "meri ummat, meri ummat" laken kaha jaye ga keh tumhain nahi maloom in logon nay tumharay baad deen men kia kia naee batain ejaad kar li thin.(Bukhari vol.9 book 88 hadith 174)

merey dost, Allah k nabi se muhabbat har musalman ka da'wa hy. laken is hadith ko parh lene k baad jis k dil main Allah k nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) se muhabbat hy woh har qism ki bid'aat se koson door rahay ga aur har amal karnay se pehlay dekhey ga keh us pe Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) ki muhr lagi hui hy k nahi.

1. Meelad-un-Nabi or Moulood-un-Nabi or Mawlid is the Birth Celebration of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
    
2. Some people have declared Meelad-un-Nabi to be Haraam and an evil Bid'at because they say that the celebration of birthdays and anniversaries have no connection with Islam as this is an exclusive custom of the Kuffaar. They say: "in upholding these innovatory customs, Muslims are in fact imitating the Kuffaar and this our Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has strictly forbidden".
    
3. What takes place in a Meelad celebration? In such a celebration a session of Naat (Poems in praise of Rasoolullah - sallal laalhu alaihi wasallam) recitals take place, people are fed, and a sincere effort is made to fill the hearts of Muslims with the love of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The miracles, excellences and the character of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are mentioned in Meelad gatherings. The Meelad functions presents one with one of the best means of learning about Rasoolullah�s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) life.
    
4. The gatherings of Meelad-un-Nabi are a great means for calling people towards Allah Ta'ala. To mention the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in the month of his birth should be increased so that the people could arrange gatherings and congregations to refresh the memories of the Nabawi period.
    
5. It is a requirement of the Holy Quran to show respect on the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Allah Ta'ala says: "In the bounty of Allah Almighty and His Mercy, in that, let them rejoice, that is better than the wealth they accumulate". (Surah Yunus: 58) Almighty Allah had ordered us to rejoice on His Mercy and Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the greatest Mercy of Allah Ta�ala to all the Worlds.
    
6. In the time of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the period of the Sahabah and in the period of the Tabi'in, Meelad was not celebrated as it is done in the present form. But the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Sahabah or Tabi'in did not prohibit it as well. This is an accepted principle of Shari'ah that the performance of something is proof of Jawaaz (permissibility) , and not doing it is NOT the proof of its prohibition.
    
7. The Meelad celebration is not compulsory. It is Mustahab (recommended) . Imam Jalaaluddin Suyuti (radi Allahu anhu) said that it is Mustahab for us to celebrate Meelad of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as to thank Allah. (Ruhul Bayaan)
    
8. All the Ulema and Muslims of all the countries have regarded Meelad as Mustahab (recommended) . According to the Hadith of Hazrat Ibn Masood (radi Allahu anhu), whichever deed is regarded as good by Muslims is good by Almighty Allah as well, and whichever deed is regarded as evil by Muslims is evil by Almighty Allah as well. Imam Ahmed (radi Allahu anhu) has narrated this Hadith Shareef.
    
9. Although the present form of Meelad is a Bid'ah (innovation) (Bid�ah Hasanah or Good Innovation), but the origin of Meelad is found in the time of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihiwasallam) . Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) himself made mention of his own Meelad by saying, "I am the Du'a of my father Hazrat Ebrahim (alaihis salaam), I am the good tidings of 'Isa (alaihis salaam), and I am the son of the two slaughtered ones (Hazrat Ismail - alaihis salaam and Hazrat Abdullah - radi Allahu anhu)."
    
10. The Holy Prophet�s (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) uncle and an arch enemy of Islam, Abu Lahab, set his slave Thuwaiba free being happy for the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Abu Lahab's punishment is made light every Monday as a reward of his act, i.e. of expressing happiness for the birth of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). (Bukhari Shareef)
     
11. When the assembly of Zikr of the beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) takes place, a Muslim is happy and joyful, therefore, he invites people to partake in the food provided, he gives charity and distributes sweatmeats. To feed people after an important or virtuous deed is the practice of the Sahaba.
     
12. It is Sunnah to commemorate happiness. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about fasting on a Monday. He replied, "I was born on that day and Wahi (Revelation) began upon me on that day." (Mishkat) It is now proven that to keep fast on a Monday is Sunnah because Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born on that day.
     
13. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to respect the day of his own Meelad. He used to thank Allah Ta'ala for that great favour. He used to fast in order to respect that day.
     
14. Meelad celebration causes the recitation of Durood and Salaam. Durood and Salaam are required by Shari'ah.
     
15. When certain of the Sahabah used to recite the praises of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in poetry form, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to rejoice and reward those Sahabah. In the Meelad function, the character and virtues of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are explained and his praises are recited in poetry and prose form.
     
16. To mention the miracles and character of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) leads towards love and the completion of Iman with him, which is required by the Shari'ah.
     
17. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) expressed the virtues of Jummah (Friday) by saying that Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) was born on that day. Therefore, imagine the virtue of that day when Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born!
     
18. Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that anyone who invented a good deed and people later practiced upon it, they will be rewarded. Meelad is a good deed.
     
19. Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Quran: "And all that We relate to you of the tiding of the Messengers is for the purpose of strengthening your heart therewith". (Surah Hud: 20) We are in need of strengthening our hearts with the mentioning of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and other Prophets (alaihihimus salaam) and the Meelad gives us this opportunity.
     
20. Hazrat Imam Shafi'i (radi Allahu anhu) said: "Any thing which opposes (or changes) the Quraan, Sunnah, Ijma (consensus) or the sayings of the Sahabah is Bid'ah. Any good deed which is not opposed to them is praiseworthy" . (Meelad celebration does not oppose any of them)
     
21. As in the practices of Haj, the running between Safa and Marwa are legal in order to refresh the remembrance of pious people. Similarly, the celebration of Meelad-un-Nabi is also legal to refresh the remembrance of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
     
22. Hazrat Moulana Abdus Sammi' (radi Allahu anhu) has counted 73 names of great scholars of Islam who wrote about the validity of Meelad celebrations. (Anwaare Saati'a)
     
23. Allama Jalaaluddin Suyuti (radi Allahu anhu) writes: "The Shari'ah commanded Aqeeqah on the birth (of a child). This is a way to thank Allah and rejoice, but on the time of death no such commandment has been given. In fact, mourning and grieving is prohibited. The same principle of Shari'ah demands that happiness and the joy should be expressed in Rabi-ul-Awwal on the birth of the beloved Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and not grieve on his Wisaal (Departure from this world)". (Husnul Maqsad Fee Amalil Moulid Al Haawi Lil Fatawa)
     
24. Imam Suyuti (radi Allahu anhu) writes about Meelad: "According to me, gatherings, recitations of the Quran, mentioning incidents of the holy life of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and mentioning those signs which appear at the time of his birth are amongst the good innovations in which a person is rewarded because in this there is respect, love and expression of happiness for the arrival of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)". (Al Haavi Lil Fataawa)
     
25. Imam Qastalaani (radi Allahu anhu) writes: "In the month of the birth of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Muslims always had assemblies. In the nights of that month they gave charities and expressed happiness. They always increased good deeds in those nights. They always made arrangements to read the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) with the auspicious (hope) that Allah Ta�ala showers His blessings upon them. One of the experienced Barakah (blessing) of Meelad is that the year passes upon them peacefully. May Allah Ta'ala send His Blessings and Favour upon that person who took Meelaad-un-Nabi as Eid, so this Eid should become reason of hardness upon that person who has disease in his heart". (Mawahe bul Le Dunya)
     
26. Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Haqq Muhaddith Delwi (radi Allahu anhu) writes: "All Muslims have always celebrated Meelad functions in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. They always gave charities in the nights of that month and expressed their happiness. This is a common practice of Muslims that they particularly make mention of those incidents which are related to the birth of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)". (Ma Sabata Bis Sunnah)
     
27. Mullah Ali Qari (radi Allahu anhu) writes: "Firstly, we see that it is permissible to arrange an assembly of Meelad. It is permissible to participate in that assembly for the purpose of listening to the praises and character of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Inviting people and expressing happiness is permissible. Secondly, we do not say that it is Sunnah to celebrate Meelad on any fixed night. Anyone who believes that it is Sunnah to celebrate Meelad on any fixed night (and not in any other night) is a Bid'ati because the Zikr of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is required all the time. Yes, in the month in which Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born, has more preference". (Al Mouridur-ravi fil Moulidin Nabi)
     
28. Allama Ibn Abedeen Shami (radi Allahu anhu) writes: "Every person who is truthful in the love of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) should express happiness in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. He should arrange an assembly for the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in which the incidents of his birth are explained with correct Ahadith. There is a strong hope from Allah that such a person will be included in the group of pious people with the intercession of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)". (Jawahi Rul Bihaar)
     
29. We do not fix a particular day or night for the Meelad and believe that Meelad is not Ja'iz (permissable) on any other date. It is our view that whosoever does such an act does so out of ignorance because the love and the relation to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) demands that one should always mention him continuously.
     
30. No Muslim ever regards the Meelad function as being more important than Salaah.
     
31. Music or Qawwali is not sung at a Meelad. If anyone has Qawwali with music in a Meelad function then he or she should be stopped and told that it is not correct.
     
32. If Na-Baligh (immature) boys and girls read in Meelad functions, there is nothing wrong with that. Baaligha (mature) girls do not read at all in Meelad functions. If in any function a Baaligha girl reads a Naat in front of the audience, that will not make the Meelad Haraam. Rather, people should be told about the illegitimacy of this act. The reading of Baligh boys in front of an audience is Ja'iz (permissable) . There is no proof in Shar'iah against it unconditionally.
     
33. Women sit in Meelad gatherings separate from men with necessary Shari' Hijab. The Shari' limit of Hijab for women is that they must cover the whole body besides the face, both hands and feet. Their hair must be covered and the clothes must not be so thin that the colour of the body may be seen. In the light of the Holy Quran, Hadith and Fiqh it is not compulsory for woman to cover the face, hands and feet from a Ghair Mahram. (N.B.: It is Mustahab for women to cover the whole face and not Waajib)

14 centuries had passed away but molvi's are still fighting on Eid Meladunabi. What a success. I am impressed.

Don't waste you time by replying this message as actions speaks more than words.

Brother Javed Thankyou for your response. However i realise that you are going away from the topic.

The topic of this article and debate is EID MILAD UN NABI. And it has been justified in the attached article that this "EID" has no place in Deene Islam.

This is not because Salafis not believe it or deobandis believe it or some else not beleive it, but it is far far beyond the sectarian issue. 

It has been mentioned catagoricaly that there is no proves of this "EID" by our beloved prophet Muhammad S.A.W. , not even from Sahaba Kiram, Tabieen, Taba Tabieen, Aaimma Kiraam, and even not from the Buzurgaane deen from third century after prophet Muhamamd S.A.W. to all the way down till this century. So why we introduce a self made INNOVATION in Islam!!!

Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. said Kullo bidatin Dalala, All innovation in deene islam are misguided. If we really need to show love with prophet Muhammad S.A.W. then there are 100's of authentic ways to follow approved and certified by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W by himself.

Dear brother rather going into more deep and prolonging the debate i would like to say that this is my understanding based on QURAN and Sunnah. Therefore i am not forcing and recommending anyone to become salafi or any thing else, however i am only representing my understanding on this false act which has been adopted by many of our brothers and sisters as part of ISLAM. 

It is all about the reality of "EID MILAD UN NABI" based on Quran, Ahadeeth, Sunnah, and ASAR e Sahaba, rather than the sectarian fighting.

I hope that i have represented my point clearly and honestly. May Almighty Allah guide me, you and all of our muslim brothers towards the right path

Jazakum Allah Khair

Thank you Usman Saheb for your response. But I am sorry you are ignoring my central point.

Let me explain my view point with an example.  Saleem has  a shop in a big market. Everybody

is selling well, but not he. So would not he think what was wrong with his management. Prices

are higher, to variety is not adequate or salemanship is not good and so on.  An ordinary man

does it all the time to compete in the market. But what our ulemaa have been doing was to

sit silently and enjoy their hold on the illiterate public. 

When TV was introduced, they declared it haram. But now you see many prominent ulemaa

on TV. They should have come up with alternative programs that could teach morals and

message of Islam. When the media spoiled the life of many a youth, they came to know

about the loss, but are now helpless to do anything. A good Muslim attacks and couter attacks

the system of baatil. But our ulemaa sit idly by or engage people in irrelevant secterian debate.

I categorically refute your logic that we should not compare our beloved Nabi with others. No sir,

you are mistaken. We have pure gold and others have dirt or  fake shining  metal. When we

compare we win hands down. But if we sit silent and watch like fools whtat others are doing, we

act like sitting ducks. 

I know you will still keep defending your stance, because of your secterian affiliation. But my priority

is Deene Mubin and not salfi or deobandi maslak. It was Islam for which my beloved prophet was

stoned in Taif and teased in Makkah and was attacked in Uhad, and not deobandi or salafi maslak.

I will try to convince my Muslim brothers to give up secterian links and unite under the banner of 

Islam. I am sure this is the sirate mustaqeem leading to Allah's pleasure and Nabi Muhammad's

appreciation.

Dear Brother Javed, Assalamualikum
 
I really respect and appreciate your affectionate feelings with our beloved, last and final prophet Muhammad S.A.W. and I want to say that I do have the same feelings or may be much more than that.

Dear Javed, by keeping the debate aside of celebrating this day according to Shariat, though I would say that by celebrating this specific day I feel that we are insulting our prophet rather the showing love, because of comparing him to others. For example we are celebrating Jinnah day on the birth of Muhammad Ali Jinah, Iqbal day, mother's day, father's day and similarly many other days, In the same way we are celebrating this day. Now ask a question from your self that could we compare our beloved prophet to others and just remember him by celebrating only a specific day like others?? If we doing so, then we are declaring that Prophet Muhammad S.A.W are equal then others.
 
No, according to me it is not, Prophet Muhammad S.A.W is not like others for us. However he is our spiritual leader, our beloved prophet and a man whose guidance and life is so important to our daily lives as butter to the bread. And we strongly believe that he is the last and final prophet of Allah and we need his directions at every step of our lives. Therefore every day is Rabiul Awal for us and we should love him by obeying his commandments in our routine daily lives. As according to the meaning of one hadith that "The one who loves me is the one who obeys me".
 
Do you know brother that here in west; Christians are celebrating Christmas (Birthday of Jesus A.S.) on 25 December. For the whole year they never remember Jesus except for this one day Christmas. Are you not feeling that we Muslims are going towards the same directions!!!
 
Sahaba RaziAllah Tala Anhum, are the best of examples in the world of loving and obeying Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. We cannot love more than them. But not a single SAHABI celebrated this day in his whole life, because as I said earlier that every day was Rabul Awal for them, and every day was the day love and day of obedience for them.
 
Therefore as a Muslim Ummah every day we celebrate as a day of Rabul Awal by offering Nawafils and sending hundreds and thousands of DURUD on our beloved prophet Muhammad S.A.W and especially obeying him in every part of our lives.  And always thanks to Allah Subhanao Tala that He made us from the Ummat of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
 
May Allah Subhano Tala guide us all to the straight path, the path of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
 
 
Jazakum Allah Khair

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Assalamualaikum

I would like to add my sincere comments: As a Muslim we should always understand that we have only two EIDS in Islam. Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Azha. Therefore we must avoid this third occasion and stop calling it EID.  

As a true muslim and the Ummah of Last and final prophet Muhammad S.A.W, every day is a day of Honour for us, that Allah Subahanau Tala made us from this Ummah. Hence as a deeni relation, this is my humble request to all of you to avoid the unislamic or self made occasions in Islam because according to Prophet Muhammad S.A.W it is Biddat, and Biddat is leading towards Hell fire.

Thank you and Jazakum Allah Khair

I do not belong to any sect. Because Quran categorically rejects sects. I know that certain sects are non Muslims, like Qadiani and some are mislead like Shias, but different sects known as Deobandi & Barelvi and Ahle Hadis etc are all wrong, because instead of being called as Muslimeen, they call themselves with secterian names. There are atleast 3 dis-advantages of  this secterian division.

1 The unity of Muslims is compromised.

2. Each sect tries to glorify its ulemaa, instead of glorifying Allah  SWT.

3. Each sect considers its own interpretation as correct, even if he knows that

    the other sect is right on a particular issue.

We must wake up to the time in which we are living. This is age of propaganda.

No newspaper or magazine, not to speak of media publishes events of the past.

History is deliberately being disregarded. Life history of holy prophet (seerat) gives

the bright and shining life of blessed prophet of Islam. If we celebrate a day and

mention events of his life and recite a few poems (naats) in praise of Nabi, it is

a befitting occasion to remind Muslims of their duty to follow the foot prints of Nabi

Muhamamad and an opportunity to inform the humanity at large how  balanced and

benevolent his life was.

If you do not like lighting, there is no harm, but presenting the participants with

meal, breakfast or dinner is no harm and definitely permissible in Islam.

For God's sake think. Sahaba did not celebrate Eid Milad because they never forgot

him for a minute. But Muslims nowadays are preoccupied with their lives and hardly

spend any time in talking or reading about  Rasul Karim, So we must  celeberate a

day in the blessed memory of  the last prophet, lest we forget him completely.

السلام علیکم ورحمۃاللہ وبرکاتہ!

محترم جاوید اقبال بھائی آپ نے اپنے ریمارکس دیے اس پر ہم آپ کے شکر گزار ہیں اور آپ کی رائے کا احترام کرتے ہیں لیکن اس کے باوجود ایک وضاحت کی بہر حال ضرورت رہ جاتی ہے اور وہ یہ ہے کہ رسول اللہ ﷺسے محبت کرنا واقعی ایمان کا لازمی جز ہے لیکن سوال یہ پیدا ہوتا ہے کہ کون سی محبت ہو گی جسے ہم محبت سے تعبیر کر سکیں گے اور کون سا طریقہ ہو گا جس طریقے پر عمل کرنے سے ہم سمجھ سکیں گے کہ واقعی محبت کا یہی طریقہ ہونا چاہیے -

محبت کا معیار اور محبت کے اصول وہی معتبر ہوں گے جو صحابہ كرام رضی اللہ عنہم،تابعین،تبع تابعین اور آئمہ اسلاف نے اختیار کیے ہوں گے-کیونکہ رسول اللہ ﷺسے محبت کرنا ایمان کا حصہ ہے لہذا یہ دین ہوا اور دین کس کو کہا جائے گا وہ آپ کو پتہ ہے کہ جس کو اللہ کے نبی ﷺنے کیا ہو یا صحابہ نے کیا ہو-اس لیے اس کے بارے میں ایک اصول مدنظر رہنا چاہیے کہ جس کام کو ہم دین یا ایمان کا حصہ بناتے ہیں اس میں درج ذیل اصول مکمل ہونے چاہیے-1-کیا جانے والا کام دین سے ثابت ہو2-اس کے کرنے کا طریقہ کار کیا ہو گا وہ بھی دین سے لیا جائے گا-اس كو سمجھنے کے لیے ایک مثال کی ضرورت ہے اور وہ یہ ہے کہ جیسے کوئی بندہ عبادت کے لیے دو رکعت نفل ادا کرنا چاہتا ہے تو وہ سب سے پہلے یہ دیکھے گا کہ کیا اس کا دین اس وقت میں اس کو نفل کے ادا کرنے کی اجازت دیتا ہے ؟اگر دیتا ہے تو وہ نفل ادا کرے گا اور جب نفل ادا کرے گا تو طریقہ بھی وہی ہو گا جو رسول اللہﷺ سے ثابت ہو گا کیونکہ اگر وہ یہ کہے کہ نفلی عبادت اللہ تعالی کو بڑی پسند ہے اور سجدے کی حالت میں بندہ اللہ کے قریب ہوتا ہے لہذا میں ایک رکعت میں چھ ،چھ اور آٹھ آٹھ سجدے کروں گا تو کیا اس کی یہ عبادت درست ہو گی؟کیونکہ اس نے ترکیب اور طریقہ کار وہ اختیار نہیں کیا جو دین دیتا ہے-اگر ہم اس اصول کی روشنی میں کام کریں گے تو وہ دین بھی ہو گا اور اس پر ثواب بھی ملے گا-اب اس اصول کی روشنی میں اگر ہم دیکھیں تو کیا عید میلاد رسول اللہ ﷺنے منائی (نصوص کی تاویلات کرنے کی بجائے شریعت کے عام مفہوم سے اس کی کوئی شکل نہیں ملتی)اور اسی طرح صحابہ کرام ہم سے کہیں بڑھ کر رسول اللہ ﷺسے محبت کرنے والے تھے کیا ان میں سے کسی نے آپ ﷺکے دن کو خاص کر کے اس طرح خوشیاں منائیں جس طرح ہم اپنی محبت کا اظہار کرتے ہیں-گرامی قدر بات یہ ہے کہ مروجہ طریقہ میلاد اگرہم دیکھیں تو سراسر سنت کی مخالفت میں ہوتا ہے اور یہ ایک مسلمان کے لیے زیبا نہیں-اور پھر اگر ہم اپنے طریقہ کار کو ذرا انصاف کی نظر سے دیکھیں تو بھی فیصلہ کرنے میں کوئی دقت نہیں ہو گی –ان شاء اللہ

1-سب سے پہلے ہمیں اس بات کو دیکھنا چاہیے کہ آیا جس دن ہم میلاد منا رہے ہیں کیا وہ ولادت کا دن ہے یا نہیں؟ مزیدار بات یہ ہے کہ ہم بارہ ربیع الاول کو ولادت کا دن بنا کر میلاد کرتے ہیں جبکہ اس دن آپﷺ کی ولادت ہے یا نہیں اس بارے میں کوئی راجح موقف موجود نہیں بلکہ 8 اور 9 ربیع الاول کے بارے میں کافی علما اور تاریخ دانوں کا اتفاق ہے-

2-جب ہمارا کوئی پیارا فوت ہوجاتا ہے تو جب اس کی وفات کا مہینہ اور دن آتا ہے تو ہم اس مہینے اور دن میں خوشیاں اور جشن مناتے ہیں یا برسی اور سوگ کرتے ہیں؟رسول اللہﷺکی وفات 12 ربیع الاول کی حتمی ہے-تو کیا محبت کی علامت ہے کہ وفات پر ہم جشن کریں اور خوشیاں منائیں؟

3-اور خوشی منانے کا جو انداز اختیار کیا جاتا ہے وہ بالکل رسول اللہﷺکی مخالفت میں جاتا ہے –اور حرام کا ارتکاب کر کے محبت کا اظہار چہ معنی دارد؟

4-حرام کے ارتکاب سے مراد:موسیقی اور ڈھول کی تھاپ پر رقص،فضول خرچی،لوگوں کے سامنے ہاتھ پھلا کر چندہ مانگنا،مخلوط مجالس-یہ وہ سب چیزیں ہیں جو شرعا حرام ہیں-

5-مزیدار بات یہ ہے کہ کئی ایسے مقامات ہیں جہاں پر باقاعدہ عید نماز کی طرح عید میلاد کی نماز ادا کی جاتی ہے-

تو محترم احباب وقارئین اور ناقدین آپ سے گذارش یہ ہے کہ اللہ کا دین ہمارے پاس امانت ہے اگر ہم نے اس میں اپنی مرضی کی چیزیں شامل کر کے اس کو خوبصورت کرنے کی کوشش کی تو یہ ظاہرا خوبصورت ضرور لگے گا لیکن اللہ کے ہاں قیامت کے دن ہمارے چہرے سیاہ ہو جائیں گے-العیاذباللہ

اس لیے حق کو اختیار کرنے اور سمجھنے کے لیے عقل کے استعمال کے ساتھ ساتھ شریعت کی راہنمائی کو بھی مدنظر رکھنا ہو گا کیونکہ صرف عقل کا استعمال انسان کو گمراہ کر دیتا اور اس کی مثال شیطان کی ہےاس نے بھی اللہ کے حکم کے سامنے صرف عقل کو استعمال کر کے جواب دیا تھا تو اللہ کے ہاں مغضوب ہو گیا-

اس لیے اللہ تعالی سے دعا ہے کہ وہ ہمیں حق کو سننے ،سمجھنے ،قبول کرنے اور پھر اس پر ڈٹ کر عمل کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائیں-آمین یار ب العالمین

You  are wasting your own time and others. Don't you know that making factions in Islam is totally haram and Almighty Allah has liked the name of Al-Muslimeen for us, this was the name given to us by our forefather Hazrat Ibrahim A.S.

The people who celebate Eid Milade are also good Muslims, because they love Nabi Muhammad  SAW and  want to celebate his day, so that they can learn from his morals  and character. There is absolute no harm in it. Those who declare it as a bidaat are  mindless maulivis who do not know the importance of Prophet Muhammad SAW. He has himself said that Iman of any Muslim is not complete unless he loves him more than his father, mother and son.

There is no harm in reading good naats and his sayings and his jihad.  May Allah guide us to His True Path.
