| What is the significance of the Prophet's birthday[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] and when and how is it celebrated?
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the
Messenger of Allaah to all of mankind, the one through whom Allaah leads
people from darkness into light, from misguidance to guidance. Please
see question no. 11575. Perhaps this question is the start of your
research into the religion of Islam and your attempt to learn more and
read widely about it. Try to find a translation of the meanings of the
Qur’aan so that you can learn more about this pure monotheistic
religion. No doubt our joy will be multiplied if you become our sister
in Islam by entering this religion.
Secondly, acts of worship in Islam are based on an important principle,
which is that no one is permitted to worship Allaah in any way except
that which Allaah has prescribed in his Book or which was taught by His
Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Whoever
worships Allaah by doing something that Allaah and His Messenger have
not enjoined, Allaah will not accept that from him. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of that, as it was narrated
that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever
innovates something in this matter of ours [i.e., Islam] that is not
part of it will have it rejected.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, Kitaab
al-Sulh, 2499).
Acts of worship include festivals. Allaah has prescribed two festivals
or Eids for us to celebrate, and it is not permissible for us to
celebrate any others. (Please see question no. 486).
With regard to celebrating the day on which the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) was born, it should be noted that he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not tell us to celebrate
this day, and he himself (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
did not celebrate it, nor did his companions (may Allaah be pleased with
them). They loved the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) far more than we do, yet despite that they did not celebrate this
day. Hence we do not celebrate this day, in obedience to the command of
Allaah Who has commanded us to follow the commands of His Prophet.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)” [al-Hashr 59:7]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I
urge you to adhere to my Sunnah [way] and the way of the Rightly-Guided
khaleefahs. Adhere to it and cling tightly to it. And beware of
newly-invented matters [in religion], for every newly-invented matter is
an innovation and every innovation is a going-astray.” (Narrated by Abu
Dawood, al-Sunnah, 3991; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi
Dawood, no. 3851).
The extent to which a person loves the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) is to be seen in how he follows him
with regard to all that he commanded or forbade. That includes following
him in not celebrating the day on which he was born. See question no.
5219, 10070.
Whoever wants to venerate the day on which the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) was born should follow the alternative
that is based on Islamic evidence, which is that one should fast on
Mondays, not just the day that he was born but every Monday.
It was narrated from Abu Qutaadah al-Ansaari (may Allaah be pleased with
him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He said, “On that day I
was born and on that day the Revelation came to me.” (Narrated by
Muslim, 1978). On Thursdays deeds are taken up and shown to Allaah.
Conclusion: celebrating the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]prophets birthday
was not prescribed by Allaah or by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), so it is not permissible for the muslims to celebrate his birthday, in obedience to the command of Allaah and
the command of His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
We ask Allaah to guide you to the Straight Path.
And Allaah knows best[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] |
