Ibn Uthyameen رحمه الله said,
“Mawlid has no basis in Islam if it was legislated by Allah then the Prophet ﷺ would had celebrated it or he would have conveyed it to his Ummah.”
[فتاوى أركان الإسلام صفحة ١٧٢]
Shaykh Ibn Baz رحمه الله wept while speaking about love for the Prophet ﷺ and the Mawlid.
This is our love for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we would sacrifice our lives for him, yet we will never express that love through practices he never prescribed.
I am Salafi when it comes to Tawheed
I am Salafi when it comes to loving Propeht ﷺ
I am Salafi when it comes to following Prophet ﷺ and his Companions
I am Salafi when it comes to condemning Ahlul Bidah
I’m Salafi to the bone
