@muhammad_baye@Manseey@insharifain Before bringing up Qur’an competitions, first provide the evidence you were asked for: where did the Prophet ﷺ, the Companions, the Tabi‘in, or the Tabi‘ al-Tabi‘in establish Mawlid? Let’s establish one point with evidence before moving to another.
@Manseey@insharifain is there any evidence in the Qur’an or authentic Sunnah that the Prophet Muhammad SAW or his Companions celebrated it? If it was introduced later, did those who introduced it understand the religion better than those who came before them?
Sheikh Al Sudais:
“Influencers and content creators on social media should take care to spread the authentic Sunnah, explain its meanings and objectives, its educational values and its creed-based methodology. They should benefit from events in the Seerah to strengthen Tawheed, moderation and balance; observe the proper principles of deriving and applying evidence from it; highlight the methodology of the early generations in doing so; and apply its lessons properly to contemporary circumstances. They must also beware of introducing innovations into the religion, as well as extremism and negligence. In this way, the correct methodology for dealing with the events of the Prophetic biography is preserved.”
Excerpts from the Friday Sermon at Masjid Al-Haram
Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz Al-Sudais — Imam and Khateeb of Masjid Al-Haram
8 Rabi al-Awwal 1448 AH
“Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example.”
For more than fourteen centuries, lands and regions have been blessed by the mission of the Master of the Prophets, peace and the finest blessings be upon him. His pure and authentically preserved biography is filled with guidance and beauty, reverence and majesty, and wisdom manifested in both words and deeds:
“There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Your suffering distresses him; he is deeply concerned for you, and to the believers he is compassionate and merciful.”
He filled the world with justice, security and peace, and spread throughout the earth the foundations of truth, justice, tolerance, compassion and mercy:
“We have not sent you except as a mercy to all the worlds.”
The fragrant Prophetic biography is a historical treasure, a fountain of civilization, a scholarly methodology and a practical path of ascent that raises the Ummah to dignity and prestige, success and sound judgment. It is the biography of the one who guided humanity out of misguidance, taught it after ignorance, and raised aspirations toward the heights of honor and greatness — the Prophet of miracles, who sought to save us from the Fire. He is the greatest benefactor of every Muslim man and woman and, both by revelation and reason, the most deserving of sincere love and truthful obedience.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his child, his father and all people.”
And Allah says:
“Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often.”
Such love must lead to obedience and submission, as Allah Almighty says:
“But no, by your Lord, they will not truly believe until they make you judge in their disputes, then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have decided, and submit completely.”
The Prophetic biography and the noble Sunnah, upon their bearer be the finest peace and blessings, are sources of honor and victory and among the clearest means by which the Ummah can attain strength and empowerment in every age. Therefore, the radiant Seerah must be revived, its meanings and objectives brought to life, and as time passes our attachment to it should grow stronger — through following its example, understanding it, gaining insight from it, embodying it in conduct and thought, and taking lessons from it.
O Ummah of the Seerah and the noblest of paths: Raise your children and families upon love for the Prophet ﷺ — a love of guidance and emulation. Honor the authentic sources of the Seerah found in the Prophetic Sunnah, such as the two Sahih collections and similar works. And defend the honor of the great Imams, the Prophet’s family, and his noble Companions.
Influencers and content creators on social media should take care to spread the authentic Sunnah, explain its meanings and objectives, its educational values and its creed-based methodology. They should benefit from events in the Seerah to strengthen Tawheed, moderation and balance; observe the proper principles of deriving and applying evidence from it; highlight the methodology of the early generations in doing so; and apply its lessons properly to contemporary circumstances. They must also beware of introducing innovations into the religion, as well as extremism and negligence. In this way, the correct methodology for dealing with the events of the Prophetic biography is preserved.
Khateeb of Masjid Al-Haram, Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais:
“Influencers and content creators on social media should strive to spread the authentic Sunnah and its educational values.”
Title: “A Clarification on the Ruling of Celebrating (Mawlid)”
By Sheikh Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, Imam and Khateeb of Masjid al-Haram
• A Muslim is commanded to follow (the Prophet ﷺ) and forbidden from innovations and introducing matters contrary to the religion. Allah said: “O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger”. And the Prophet ﷺ said: “Beware of newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter is a bid‘ah, and every bid‘ah is misguidance.” He ﷺ also said: “Whoever lives among you will see many differences, so hold on to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me. Hold on to it tightly with your molar teeth. And beware of newly invented matters.”
• The righteous predecessors (may Allah have mercy on them) strongly warned against innovations and commanded adherence to the Sunnah and leaving all forms of bid‘ah. Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Follow and do not innovate, for you have been sufficed. Hold fast to the old way, for it is enough for you.” And Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Every innovation is misguidance, even if people see it as good.”
• Bid‘ah changes the religion, distorts the truth, and replaces the Sunnah with innovation. It takes root in hearts and spreads among people, weakening their bond with Allah and leading them astray.
• Among the most famous innovations is what is done in Rabi‘ al-Awwal in celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet and his companions did not do it, nor did the rightly guided caliphs, nor those who followed them with excellence.
• Mawlid celebrations include many violations such as mixing of genders, extravagance, raising voices with singing and poetry, and using frivolous words.
• Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “If a season is taken as a religious season without basis in the Shariah, like celebrating nights of Rabi‘ al-Awwal which they call ‘the Prophet’s birthday,’ it is an innovation that was never practiced by the pious predecessors. Gathering for the Mawlid contains no religious benefit but rather resembles Christian practices.”
• The truth is that Mawlid celebrations today have become gatherings of dancing, eating, unlawful mixing, and invitations to misguidance. People claim to love the Prophet ﷺ while engaging in innovations he never commanded.
• True love of the Prophet ﷺ is not by innovating, but by following his Sunnah. Allah said: “Say, if you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.”
• There is no benefit in innovations; rather, they are misguidance. Whoever calls to them is reviving falsehood and extinguishing the light of the truth. The authentic texts clearly forbid such gatherings, which only open doors of misguidance and ignorance.
• Message to the Ummah: Fear Allah regarding yourselves. Abandon these innovations and misguidances. Hold fast to the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ. Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.
