The Innovation of Fixed Weekly and Monthly Religious Reminders: Do Not Regularise What the Prophet ﷺ Never Regularised!
Shaykh Abdurrahman Al-Umaysan حفظه الله
Ibn Baaz رحمہ اللہ said,
You are in need of guidance even if you were the most pious and even if you were the most knowledgeable; you are in need of guidance till you die.
[Fatwaa 7/163]
You don't need to be an aqeedah expert to recognize that calling upon the dead for help is shirk.
Every Muslim recites Surah al-Fatihah every day and affirms this very fact.
“By Allāh! It is impermissible for you to cause undue inconvenience to a dog and a pig; so how could you cause inconvenience to a Muslim?”
___Al-Fuḍayl ibn ‘Iyāḍ (rahimallah).
[Imām Adh-Dhahabī, Siyar A‘lām An-Nubalā’]
Shaykh Ibn al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
"Celebrating birthdays or wedding anniversaries is unIslamic since celebrating these events is more likely an innovation."
[Ad-Durar As-Sanniyyah, Pg. 173]
Narrated Abdullah bin Shaqiq Al-'Uqayli:
"The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) didn't consider leaving anything to be disbelief except for the Salat."
[Sunan at-Tirmidhi 2622]
