This is the work of Ulemas & Muftis to debate on such topics. General muslims should only give references of articles, fatwas & books where these scholars have researched on the topic from quran & sunnah and summarized it. Like Muhammad Abdullah quoted complete fatwa of a Mufti. Anyway here is a website link where you can find too many interesting articles, books and speeches by great scholars on the topic whether we should celebrate MILAD or not.... http://www.nooremadinah.net/MiladunNabi/Index.asp Here is the links of two interestings books on this topic http://www.almazhar.com/eng_supreme_festival.php http://www.almazhar.com/jashan_e_baharan.php I hope this will be helpful for you brothers.. regards faisal Dear Brothers,

How many Hadieth of Imam Bukhari (May Allah be please with him) have been viewed by your kind self for other aspects of your life?

The hadieth of Imam Bukhari I wish you type brothers could at least read And learn the basic pillars of islam beside engaging themselves in such Controversial things like eid milad etc (you must go through with the translated quran or tafseer first then recite hadieth mubarka )

Second tell me when did prophet s.w himself celebrated the birthday of His forefathers I mean spiritual father (H.z Ibrahem A.h) if you are real Ashiq-e-rasool S.w Answer honestly then we will move over to sahaaba and
Tabeen

In last your reply was so harsh when you said your views are with you and Mine is with me is that sophisticated answer you made my brother? Always bring
With some authentic words and proofs.

You’re Brother in Islam

If someone doesn't not want to observe it then its his belief. If some people want to observe it, its their belief. There is no Jabar(force) in religion. The best way is ofcourse Holy Prophet(peace be upon him), his companions(RA)and Tabiyeen and Taba Tabiyeen. Anything which conflicts with their Sunnah is forbidden but anything which is not forbidden by Holy Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him),or by his Companions (Sahabe e Karam (RA)and do not conflict with principles of Islam, its not forbidden. As such We also follow teachings of Imam Abu Hanifa(RA) and Imam Bukhari(RA). Please let me know if there is any Hadith mentioned by Imam Bukhari(RA) in which celebrating Milad e Nabi(peace be upon him), remembering him, reciting Hamd o Naat is forbidden. Thank you, for sharing the fatwa by Shaikh Sahib. Its his views and we respect it but cannot follow it. Many Mufti Sahiban accross the globe have given different fatwas on various issues and its not mandatory for us to follow all of them. Dear Muhammad Abdullah: I have already given my reply above.

Most people who have knowledge about jantarees have claimed other dates of the same month , but nobody agrees with the 12th. Yes but 12th was the day of Holy Prophets wisaal, this everybody unanimously agrees upon. So we should see what we are actually celebrating (NaAaoozobillah). Secondly Allah from the time when he sent his first messanger i.e. Hazrat Adam (Alleh Salam) has tried to make people to know HIM, and all the prophet coming thereafter did the same. Islam is not the newest religion on eart , it was the first religion . All the prophets wether Moses(Musa), Jesus(Eesa), Abraham(Ibrahim), Solomon(Sulaiman) ,Jacob(Yaqoob), Joseph(Jacob) and Others (Alleh-e-musalam) preached the same message of Islam that is Tauheed (Oneness of Allah)and Holy Prophet was the last and the best amongst all came with the same. Islam got modified with the needs of the time and ended with Holy Prophet. Im sure u will respect my belief as well .
