Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu,
i got a question for all, as muslims , should we not make it one of our most important activities to celebrate the birthday of the holy prophet every year in the month of Rabiulawwal. my idea is that we are muslims due to the holy prophet today, we knew Allah through the holy prophet, and Allah has said in the quran, that he send Rasool Allah sallallahualaihiwasallam as a mercy for humanity and that In Surah Yunus, (10:58) Allah Ta’ala states
“Say: Because of the( fadl) Blessings of Allah and His (rahma) Mercy you should celebrate (with happiness and pleasure). That is better than what (wealth) they amass
In Surah Al Imran, (3:164) Allah Almighty states:
“ Indeed Allah conferred a great favor on the believers when he sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad (saw)) from among themselves, reciting unto them His verses, and purifying them, and instructing them (in) the book and Al-Hikmah of the Prophet (saw) while before that they had been in manifest error”.
In Surah Al-Anbiya, (21:107) Allah Almighty describes the Holy Prophet (Saw) as rahma
“ And We have sent you (oh Muhammad (saw)) but as a Mercy for Mankind”.
The Holy Qur’an also singles out the birthday as an important event and worthy of mention. In Surah Maryam Allah tala commands us to send salaam on the day Sayyidina Yahya was born ie his birthday.
“And send salaam on him the day he was born, and the day he dies and the day he wil be raised up to life (again)” (19:15)
If the celebration of birthdays is an innovation and prohibited then why would Allah Ta’ala single out the birthday of Hadhrat Yahyah (a.s)?
this is some part of an article i had read, but i am looking forward to all comments from the bros and sis.
jakallah khair.:hijabi:
