alhamdulilah somalis celebrate mawlid as sufi islam is back in somalia

[Omar del Sur]

surprised people don't know this song

@Ayubi just provided all the sunnah and statements from scholarsyou just showed a random chrismass tree and said everyone celebrating mawlid celebrates with a chrismass tree

well yes, I didn't provide the scholarly stuff because I know the Mawlid supporters don't care. Plus there's a mountain of stuff out there from scholars refuting Mawlid and it's already pretty well known.

Also, I did not say that everyone celebrates Mawlid with a Mawlid tree.... or that they all sing "o Mawlid tree, o Mawlid tree"........

but I mean if you're gonna imitate Christians by making a bootleg version of their holiday I'm surprised people don't go all the way and sing "o Mawlid tree, O Mawlid tree".....

maybe they can pool their money and hire Mariah Carey to sing

"All I Want for Mawlid is You"

 

[Omar del Sur]

also sahih muslim is not conciderd sahih only bukhari hadiths are conciderd sahih

Saheeh Muslim is considered Saheeh but.... I'm not surprised that you'd be promoting strange views

 

[Omar del Sur]

1."Mawlid is shirk"
Praising the prophet is shirk? reading the quran, reading his siirah is shirk?

Where have I ever said that Mawlid is shirk? I have never said Mawlid is shirk. Mawlid is bid'ah.

I'm sorry i'm confused. How many sects are there? and why are we celebrating this day? seems a bit too much like the jesus christ thing. It starts with a birthday celebration and then evolves into worship, tho i hope this is not the case here.

Can someone explain this event to me. I never have seen any of my relatives celebrating this event. Did the prophet ever tell ppl to celebrate his birthday?

fake hadith
https://muflihun.com/muslim/4/867


this is what the real one says

Jabir b. Samura reported: We said our prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, while pronouncing salutations, we made gestures with our hands (indicating)" Peace be upon you, peace be upon you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked towards us and said: Why is it that you make gestures with your hands like the tails of headstrong horses? When any one of you pro- nounces salutation (in prayer) he should only turn his face towards his companion and should not make a gesture with his hand.


also sahih muslim is not conciderd sahih only bukhari hadiths are conciderd sahih

Sahih Muslim is Authentic and the Hadith I quoted is Authentic. Innovation in Islam is haram, we should only follow what's prescribed for us in Islam.

Allah says "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion." (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3).

 

[bluebird]

The best way to celebrate the Prophets birthday (SAW) is the way that he did (fasting on mondays) “The Messenger of Allah (saws) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He (saws) said, "That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received Revelation.”

The Celebration of Mawlid in Light of the Shafi’i School

The present era has seen several works authored for and against the celebration of the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). In short, those opposed to this celebration are either adherents of one of the four major schools [mutamadhhibin] or non-adherents [present day salafiyyah]. The primary contention of both parties is that the celebration is an action that both the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) and his companions did not practice. In response to this contention, several scholars authored rejoinders. Some dedicated independent writings to the subject, while others addressed it in larger works.

A different approach is required to respond to each of these parties. The works of the scholars from the past suffice as a response to the non-adherents of the madhahib. In brief, their arguments may be condensed as follows:

1. The Prophet’s (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) non-performance does not indicate impermissibility [at-tark la yaqtadi at-tahrim]. The agreed-upon hadith of Khalid ibn Walid eating a lizard after the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) abstained serves as ample proof to establish this point.
2. Not all innovation is necessarily misguidance. Consequently, scholars divided innovation into two: good and bad. Past luminaries who explicitly held to the bifurcation of innovation include amongst many: al-Imam Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi’i, al-Imam al-Bayhaqi, al-Imam an-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, and Imam al-Suyuti.
3. Within the sunnah, there exists certain narrations that create the impression that the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) actually celebrated his own birthday. Imam Muslim narrates that the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) was asked regarding the fasting of Monday, to which he replied, “That is the day on which I was born.”
4. Other reports suggest that the companions rejoiced and sang poetry regarding the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam). The Prophet’s uncle, Abbas ibn AbdilMuttalib, composed poetry commemorating the birth of the Prophet (sallaAllahu alayhi wasallam) and then sought permission to recite. The Prophet not only permitted it, but prayed for his uncle asking Allah to protect his mouth. Then, Abbas (radiyaAllahu anhu) recited what was possibly the first mawlid ever, “And when you were born (O Prophet) the earth shone bright and the horizon was radiant.”
5. Legal analogy. This point’s chief proponent is the great scholar and hafidh, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. He noted that when the Messenger (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) arrived in Madinah, he found the Jews fasting on the 10th of Muharram and enquired as to why they were fasting. They replied that it was the day on which Allah saved Musa and drowned the Pharaoh; and therefore, they fasted in thanks and gratitude to Allah. The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) then stated, “I am more entitled to Musa than you,” and accordingly fasted while instructing the companions to also fast. Ibn Hajar argues that in this report, lies sound evidence to celebrate and show gratitude for a favour that Allah has bestowed on any particular day.

Now, in response to the adherents of the madhahib, the central consideration is what a particular madhab has to say regarding the issue (i.e. the permissibility of mawlid). This is established in Shaf’i fiqh, and therefore, should be dealt with accordingly. The jurists’ first approach to any fiqh issue is one of naql. Only in the absence of naql does one move to the investigation of nusus (the texts of Quran and Sunnah) or reason. An opinion within our School does exist, and therefore obviates the need for an investigation of nusus. Opening the door to change the position of the madhhab on this mas’alah would allow others to do the same for other masa’il. A perfunctory survey is given below of scholars in the Shafi’i School who held that the mawlid is recommended:

1. al-Imam an-Nawawi’s shaykh, head of the famous Syrian school, Dar al-Hadith al-Ashrafiyyah, the great Shafi`i jurist and traditionist, Abdur Rahman ibn Ismail, well-known as Abu Shamah. He states in his Risalah,“And among the best innovated actions in these times are those actions that take place every year coinciding with the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) such as charity, good deeds, personal beautification, joy, and so forth, as they speak of love and reverence for the beloved Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallm)…”
2. Hafiz ibn Hajar al-Asqalani’s shaykh, Sirajud Din Umar ibn Raslan ash-Shafi`i. In al-Mawaz wal Iitibar, Al-Miqrizi mentioned that Shaykh al-Bulqini, his sons, and the judges of the four madhahib of his time, would all attend the mawlid of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam).
3. The renowned commentator of al-Imam al-Bukhari’s Sahih, Hafidh al-Dunya, Allamah Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. In addition to the above, his student al-Imam as-Suyuti related that he opined that if the mawlid only consists of good actions, then it will be considered a good innovation.
4. Al-Imam as-Suyuti authored an entire treatise on the recommendation of the mawlid celebration.
5. In his Fatawa, Al-Hafiz as-Sakhawi mentions that even though the mawlid was not practiced by our pious predecessors, it still holds great virtue. As-Sakhawi also authored a mawlid.
6. Al-Imam al-Qastalani asks Allah in his al-Mawahib al-Laduniyyah to shower His mercy upon the people who celebrate the birth of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam).
7. Allamah Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, who’s views represent the opinion from which fatwa is given in the Shafi`i school, approves of the mawlid in his al-Fatawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra.

To date, I have not seen any of the School’s classical jurists condemning the practice. Thus, the Shafi’i School’s official view is that the celebration of his (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) birthday is not just permissible, but recommended.

Accordingly, the modern Shafi’i scholars who have recommended this celebration include: the former Shaykh of al-Azhar University Hasanayn Makhluf, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti, Egypt’s official mufti Dr. Ali Jumuah, and the great scholar and spiritual guide, sayyidi al-Habib Umar ibn Hafidh, amongst many others.

In some parts of the Muslim world, the mawlid practiced is not specific to the month of Rabiul Awwal. Such is observed by the Ba’Alawi family and tariqah. Their mawlid, which in essence is the Prophetic biography composed into poetry, is celebrated on a weekly basis, generally on a Thursday evening, throughout the year. The major aim behind the reading is to familiarise the public concerning the events that took place in the Prophet’s (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) life, thus instilling in the hearts love for Allah’s greatest beloved (al-Habib al-’Aazam), Muhammad ibn Abdillah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam).

The aim of this paper is not to change the views of those who oppose the mawlid, but rather to create an environment of tolerance where individuals, both for and against it, can appreciate the stances of one another. The fact that al-Imam ash-Shafi`i differed with his teacher, al-Imam Malik, did not mean that he, ash-Shafi`i, became hostile towards him. Let not a mas’alah mukhtalaf fihi be the cause of engaging in activity – such as speaking ill, backbiting, and so forth – these are haram by consensus.

It started in Egpyt by a dynasty called Fatimid in the 11th Century. They were a branch of shi'a which the main Shi'a party considered non-muslim because of their interpretations of the five pillars of Islam. They were also known as Isma'iliyin. From this dynasty, the celebration spread to other parts of the Islamic world.

It is neither Sunnah nor obligatory and not part of what prophet Mohamed pbuh taught his followers.

This is not the same school of "Islam" that approved of the cutting of Female genitals? Yeah, ain't going to buy this Mawlid shit. Celebrating birthdays in general is forbidden in Islam, let alone celebrating any of the prophets birthdays. What a shit school, disgusting our ancestors ever converted to this filth.

Don't speak ill of any of the four schools and anyone for following them. These schools of thought were founded by legendary scholars and refined by world renowned scholars over many centuries. Do you think you know more than them? Say astagfirullah.

 

[Misil]

There are two extremes when it comes to this matter; the anti mawlid extremist who says you are corrupting the religion and committing shirk, the pro mawlid extremist who accuses you of not loving the prophet if you don't celebrate it.

It is not wajib to celebrate it but their should be no blame on those who do and those who don't. What is obligatory however is to love him and the message he brought

"The prophet didnt do/say to do it specifically"
Just cause he didnt say to do it specifically doesnt mean you shouldnt do it. Smh. He didnt tell you to donate to that poor nigga underneath the bridge on 5th street either. IQ has left the chat in here.
"Every bid'ah is lost and in hell"
Umar ibn khattab radiallah 'anh was the one who innovated gathering together on ramadan for tarawih and when he was asked about it he said indeed it is bid'ah im pleased with.
bid'ah only means innovate---allah is badi'u samawat

Hadith by nature complement each other. its just in their nature. Every hadith compliments another. A hadith is part of a whole never stand alone.Looking at one hadith is ignorance. Theres a sahih hadith from muslim that compliments that bid'ah hadith:
he who innovates a good innovation in islam, to him belongs its good deeds and the good deeds of those that act on it for ever, he who innovates an evil innovation in islam, for him is its sins and the sins of those that act upon forever.

من سن في الإسلام سنة حسنة كان له أجرها وأجر من عمل بها من بعده لا ينقص ذلك من أجورهم شيئا، ومن سن في الإسلام سنة سيئة كان عليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها من بعده لا ينقص ذلك من أوزارهم شيئا خرجه مسلم في صححيه.

The prophet was honoured with a few honours exclusive to him:he is prophet of red and black(means non arab and arab) all the earth is his masjid, and INCLUSIVE SPEECH.
Meaning he doesnt spell out everything but says concise sentence or two. Hadal badan haan ma buuxsho dee. He expects the listener to have an IQ above 68.

Reading quran, feeding poor, reading the story of the prophet, taking a day to thank allah for giving as a prophet is good innovation.

1. Your confused on Innovation. When we say Innovation is haram, we don't mean basic stuff such as technology or using a phone. When we say Innovation is haram, we are talking about Innovation in matters of religion (religious Innovation). The prophet (ﷺ) has made it very clear that bid'ah in religion is misguidance which leads to hellfire.

"every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire." (Sunan an-Nasa'i 1578)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Your second point about Umar inventing taraweeh is wrong, it's a Sunnah of the prophet himself.

Some people claim that it was one of the Sunnah's of ‘Umar, and they base that on the fact that ‘Umar “commanded Ubayy ibn Ka’b and Tameem al-Daari to lead the people in praying eleven rak’ahs.” He went out the same night and saw the people praying, and he said, “What a good innovation this is.” This indicates that it had not previously been prescribed…

But this opinion is da’eef (weak), and those who say this are ignoring the reports proven in al-Saheehayn and elsewhere, that the Prophet (ﷺ) “led his companions in praying for three nights, and on the third or fourth night he did not lead them, and he said: ‘I am afraid that it may be made obligatory upon you.’” This was narrated by al-Bukhaari (872). According to a version narrated by Muslim, “But I was afraid that prayer at night may be made obligatory upon you, and you would not be able to do it.” (1271). So it is proven that Taraaweeh is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) referred to the reason why he did not persist in it, which was the fear that it might become obligatory; he did not say that it is not prescribed. This fear no longer applied following the death of the Messenger (ﷺ), because when he (ﷺ) died, the revelation ceased and there was no longer any concern that it might become obligatory. Once the fear that it might become obligatory was no longer present, because the revelation had ceased, then the reason for not doing it was also removed, and so it was restored to its position of being Sunnah.

See al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, vol. 4, p. 78.

It was narrated in al-Saheehayn from ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would forgo doing something that he liked to do lest the people do it and it become obligatory upon them. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1060; Muslim, Salaat al-Musaafireen, 1174).

Al-Nawawi said: This shows how kind he (ﷺ) was and how compassionate towards his ummah.

So there is no basis for saying that Taraaweeh prayer is not part of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), rather it is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ), but he forsook it for fear that it may be made obligatory upon his ummah.

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/217...ramadaan-is-sunnah-and-not-a-bidah-innovation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. With regard to ‘Umar’s words “what a good innovation (bid‘ah) this is”, what he meant by calling it an innovation was in the linguistic sense, i.e., it was something new that the people had never done before.

That was because gathering the people in Ramadan every night behind one imam on a continual and organised basis had not been done before. Therefore the context indicates that what was meant was the linguistic meaning, and he did not mean it in the technical shar‘i sense, which means introducing something into the religion that is not part of it, whilst attributing it to the religion.

[Drifter]

If prophet saw and his companions didn’t practice it, it’s not worth doing and jeopardizing your hereafter for!
After all who’s more worthy for us to follow, the ones who started this practice or the best of creation our beloved prophet saw and his companions the best of generations.
Our deen, Islam is on the middle path so don’t be extreme on either sides.

 

[Invader]

Do you really need to celebrate his birthday You only need to celebrate both Eids and fast in Ramadan. I feel that this is shirk cuz you don’t need to celebrate his birthday like what the gaals do with Jesus “birthday”. I don’t mind Sufis but do you guys need to celebrate it? You should celebrate stuff about Allah and his prophets and what he has done not celebrating when a prophet was born

 

[madaxweyne]

Sahih Muslim is Authentic and the Hadith I quoted is Authentic. Innovation in Islam is haram, we should only follow what's prescribed for us in Islam.

Allah says "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion." (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3).

i searched up the hadith and suprise i couldnt find the hadith anywere apparently its sahih muslim number 867 and its a fake hadith it doesnt exist the prophet never said that anywhere

the salafi khawrij are known for making up hadiths and misleading peoiple i advice anyone on here to investigate and search up the hadith yourselves

fake hadith
https://muflihun.com/muslim/4/867
this is what the hadith actualy says
Jabir b. Samura reported: We said our prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, while pronouncing salutations, we made gestures with our hands (indicating)" Peace be upon you, peace be upon you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked towards us and said: Why is it that you make gestures with your hands like the tails of headstrong horses? When any one of you pro- nounces salutation (in prayer) he should only turn his face towards his companion and should not make a gesture with his hand.
i advice anyone here to look for the hadith themselves instead of taking anyones word for it the salafis are natorious for making up hadiths and misleading people


as for an nisa only bukhari and sahih muslim are conciderd sahih not an nisa
