REFRESHER FOR AHLE IMAAN….& REMINDER FOR AHLUL HAWAJ

164. Indeed Allâh conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses, and purifying them, and instructing them (in) the Book and Al­Hikmah, while before that they had been in manifest error. (Q3:164)

Evidence from the Qur'an al-kareem

 

 

The Qur'anic verses proves that to celebrate Milad is not only a proper deed but it is also a praiseworthy.

 

 

1) Allah Almighty says in al Qur'an :

"The peace is on Him the day when he was born and the day when he will die and the day when he will be raised alive." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Al-Maryam, Verse 15)

 

In the above verse Allah Almighty has mentioned the complete Milad of Hadrat Yahya alayhis salam. And before this Allah Almighty has mentioned the events which took place before the birth. It is the same way of celebrating birth day as Ahl as-Sunnat w'al Jama'at adopts for the Milad of the last Prophet (saw) of Allah Almighty. In other words the Prophet of Allah Almighty, Hadrat Isa alayhis salam, celebrates his own Milad.

 

 

2) As Allah Almighty says:

"And the same peace on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I would be raised alive." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Al Maryam, Verse 33)

 

Before this verse Allah Almighty has stated the whole story of Hadrat Maryam radi Allahu anha that who she got pregnant and gave birth her great son, Isa alayhi Salam. Allah Almighty also mentioned the words of Hadrat Isa alayhis Salam by which Isa alayhis Salam praised himself. This particular style of narrating storys is nothing but celebration of Milad of Hadrat Isa alayhis Salam. Ahl as-Sunnat w'al Jama'at also narrate the story of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) in the same style. We too narrate the events which took place before the birth and after it as Allah Almighty narrated about Hadrat Yahya and Hadrat Isa (alaihim as-Salam). Therefore, a person who has eyes of justice will obviously accept that to celebrate Milad is an important deed which Allah Almighty has done. So it proves that the basis of Milad is found in the Qur'an al-kareem.

 

 

3) Allah Almighty says:

"And remind them of the days of the Allah." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Ibrahim, Verse 5)

 

In this verse Allah Almighty orders his prophet Musa alaihis Salam to remind his nation the days of Allah Almighty. "The days of Allah" are those days in which great events took place or Allah Almighty bestowed his great rewards to his creature. As the Qur'an al-kareem testifies this explanation of the days of Allah Almighty. In the Qur'an al-kareem Hadrat Musa alayhis Salam says:

"And when Musa said it his people remember Allah's favour upon you, when he delivered you from Firawn's people who used to afflict you worstly, and slaughter your sons and let your daughters live and in it there was shown great mercy of your lord." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Ibrahim, Verse 6)

 

According to the Qur'anic verse emancipation of the nation of Musa alayhis Salam from Firawn is a day of Allah, so the birth day of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) is, with any doubt, also a day of Allah, because the Prophet Muhammad (saw) emancipated whole world from the darkness of ignorance and brought them to the light of guidance. Therefore, the birthday (Milad) of the Beloved Prophet (saw) deserves to be celebrated then the celebration of any other event. In case we would not be grateful to Allah Almighty for his favour, which is Muhammad (saw) .He will punish us severely. As Allah Almighty says:

"And remember when your lord proclaimed, if you will be great full then I shall give you more and if you’re thankless then my treatment is severe." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Ibrahim, and Verse 7)

 

 

4) Allah Almighty says:

"Then remember the bounties of Allah and wander not in the earth spreading mischief." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Araf, Verse 74)

 

In the above verse Allah Almighty orders us to remember his bounties and rewards. The last Prophet of Allah Almighty Muhammad (saw) is, undoubtedly, great blessing of Allah Almighty for whole mankind. Allah Almighty himself considers the Prophet (saw) his great favour for mankind as He says:

"Undoubtedly, Allah did a great favour to the Muslims that in them from among themselves sent a messenger who recites unto them His signs and purifies them and teaches them the book and wisdom and necessarily before that they were certainly apparent error." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Al'i-Imran, Verse 164)

 

Therefore, according to the Qur'anic commandments we must remember the beloved Prophet of Allah Muhammad (saw) and Milad-un-Nabi is a best way of remembrance of the greatest Prophet (saw) . In another words Allah Almighty says:

"And publicize well the favour of your lord" (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Al Duha, Verse 11)

 

 

The companion of the Beloved Prophet (saw) Hadrat Abdullah Ibn-e-Abbas radi Allahu anhu explained the word 'favours'. He says here, In this verse 'favour' signifies the Prophethood and Islam. (Tafseer Ibn-e-Abbas, Sure Al Duha, Page 651).

 

 

So in the light of the given explanation by the cousin of the Beloved Prophet (saw) , we can say that Allah Almighty orders us to remember Beloved Prophet (saw) in our gatherings between the people, in our mosque between the worshiper and in our houses between our families and Milad an-Nabi (saw) , as I have written is a best way for this Qur'anic purpose.

 

 

4) Allah Almighty orders us:

"Say you oly Allah's grace and his mercy, on it therefore let them rejoice. That is better then all their wealth."

 

 

In this verse Allah Almighty orders us to enjoy on his grace and mercy. If we see around us we find that each favour of Allah Almighty is great mercy for us. Even our existence is also a mercy of Allah Almighty. But the greatest of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'alas the Beloved Prophet (saw) . As Allah Almighty says:

"And we sent not you but mercy for all worlds." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Al Ambiyaa, Verse 107)

 

So according the Qur'anic teachings it is necessary for us that you must be happy and pleased on the birthday of the Beloved Prophet (saw). The one who pleases with the Beloved Prophet (saw) is really a true follower of the Qur'an al kareem. And it is obvious that, in whole world Muslims celebrates Milad un Nabi (saw) , especially for enjoying the Mercy of Allah Almighty that is the Beloved Prophet of Allah Almighty. Therefore the Qur'an al-kareem itself confirms the Milad an-Nabi (saw) .

 

 

5) The gathering of Milad an-Nabi (saw) incite Muslims on saying Durood and Salam ( to pray for Prophet (saw) of blessing and peace) Allah Almighty says:

"Oh you who believe send upon Him blessings and salute Him fully well in abundance. (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Al-Ahzab, Verse 56)

 

 

According to the law of Shariah, a thing which is desired by Shariah, is exactly a like an aim of Shariah. And the benefits of Durood-o-salam are so much in numbers that can not be counted. Durood-o-salam causes for the help of Allah Almighty in this world and here after. So Milad an-Nabi (saw) is a source of fulfilling the commandments of Allah Almighty

 

 

6) Allah Almighty says:

"And all that we narrate to you of the tidings of the messengers is for the purpose of strengthening your heart therewith." (Kanz al-Iman : Sura Hood, Verse 121)

 

 

This Qur'anic verse reveals that the wisdom of mentioning the stories and events of Prophets alayhim as-salam was to stand fast the heart of the last prophet (saw) . And it is obvious that we are, also today, in need of being stand fast. We must know that how; the Prophet of Allah (saw) faced the problems of his time so that we may face the problems of our times according to the Sunnah. Therefore Milad an-Nabi (saw) provides us an opportunity to know about the affair of the Prophet (saw) .

 

 

 

 

 

Evidence from Hadith

 

Evidence of Hadith (Narrations of the Beloved Prophet (saw)

 

 

There are many narrations, which prove validity of celebrating Milad Shareef but I have written a few.

 

 

1) The Prophet of Allah (saw) himself stated his own birth from very beginning, He says:

 

 

"I had been transferred, continuously, from purified offspring to purified wombs. I had been given birth by a lawful marriage not by adultery. When Allah Almighty sent Adam alaihis Salam on earth, He put me in his spine and then transferred me in Nuh alaihis salam's boat, and then Ibrahim alaihis salam. Allah Almighty transferred me continuously from noble offspring to the purified wombs. He brought me into my parents who never committed adultery." (Tafseer Ruhul Bayan, Vol. 3, Page 54)

 

As I have written in the beginning that Milad means the time of birth or place of birth. So the Beloved Prophet (Allah's Grace and Peace be upon him) himself celebrated his own Milad. In the same way Ahl as-Sunnat w'al Jamaat following the Beloved Prophet (saw) narrate the events of the birth of the Beloved Prophet (saw) . This hadith is the clear proof Milad an-Nabi (Allah's Grace and Peace be upon him) and as well as tell us that to celebrate Milad an Nabi (saw) is not innovation (bidat) but it is a sunnah (tradition) of Prophet (saw) .

 

 

There are many other narrations which narrate that the Prophet of Allah (saw) celebrated his own Milad several times, some of those narrations have been written in Mishkat Shareef.

 

 

2) "The one who rejoices the birthday of the Beloved Prophet would not be severely punished and it is hoped that a Muslim who celebrates the Milad un Nabi (saw) , will not be punished in hell. Imam Bukhari Rahmatullah Alayh narrates that Abu Lahab would be punished lightly in the hell on Monday. Because he rejoiced and freed his handmaid indicating by his finger, when the Prophet of Allah Almighty (saw) took birth. So as a reward of happiness on Milad un Nabi (saw) he would be given water by his finger. (Sahih al Bukhari Vol. 2, Page 764)

 

 

Imam Shams al-Din Naseer Al Damaishqi narrates this hadith in poetry. Here is its translation.

If such kaafir was denounced (in the Qur'an)

So perished are his hands, in the flame as his eternal abode.

It is narrated that every Monday,

His torment is made easy for his joy at the birth of 'Ahmad'.

What is the expectation then of a servant who spent all his life.

Happy with the arrival of Ahmad and died on the oneness of Allah Almighty.

 

 

(Haul-ul-Ahtifal Bil Mawlid Al-Nabvi Al Sharif, Page 11)

 

 

2) The Most Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) celebrated his own Milad by keeping fast [sayyam]. Imam Wali al din writes this narration with reference to Sahih Muslim. When the Prophet of Allah (saw) was asked about the fast of Monday. He (saw) said:

"I took birth and the Qur'an was revealed upon me in this day." (Mishkat Shareef, Page 179)

 

This narration proves that to celebrate Milad an Nabi [Mawlid] is a tradition of the Most Beloved Messenger of Allah (Allah's Grace and Peace be upon him) on every Monday. Secondly it is perfectly lawful to fix a particular day for Milad an Nabi (saw) .Thirdly it is an act of sunnah to do ibadat (worship) in the cause and for the pleasure of the Milad an-Nabi (saw) .
