Milad An-Nabi, birthday of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), falls today
Today is a special day for many GCC countries like the UAE. Most of the Gulf States celebrate Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be upon Him)’s birthday today.
Also termed as the Milad An-Nabi, the day has been marked as a religious day in many Muslims’ lives. In fact, the UAE has even declared today as a holiday.
Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) is the best role model that any person could follow. His simple life was filled with piety, goodness and with so much of divinity.
Being the last messenger of Allah the Almighty, Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him)’s birthday is believed to fall on the third month of the Islamic calendar, Rabi’ al-awwal.
Although, Qatar doesn’t celebrate it, many Muslims all over the world believe today to be a day to be celebrated.
Several five-star hotels usually observe the no-alcohol service rule during the Prophet's birthday annually in Qatar.
How do you observe Milad an-Nabi?
It's a one kind of business. Day by Day those people are extending there business and harming the Islam.
Please stop sending such absurd events in the name of Islam, Qatar does not propagate such absurd innovations in Islam. It's very sad that Qatar living is wasting it's time in giving the importance of such an event which is not proved from any reliable sources in Quran or ahadith.

There is no harm in celebrating Mawlid if performed within laws of shariah. Praising Nabi (sallallahu Alayhi waSallam) through Sermons, Naats will increase Eemaan & love towards Nabi (A.S.).
Ya Nabi Salaam Alaikum Ya rasool Salam Alaikum, Ya Habeeb Salam Alaikum, Swalawatullah Alaikum.

There are enough evidences and references that supports Celebration of Mawlid an Nabi (sallalahualihiwasallam) . Mawlid continues to be celebrated from the days of prophet Alaihisalaatosalaam, Shaba (radiAllahuanhum), Ta'abayeen and Ta'abeTa'abayeen and untill today in various countries. Well as far as Biddah is concern, what we can say that there are various form of Biddah and celebration of Mawlid comes under the category of Biddah Hasanah ( Good Innovation) since Mawlid celebration is expression of joy and Happiness.
The Holy Qur’an Says ::..
قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيداً لأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
Eisa, the son of Maryam, said, “O Allah, O our Lord! Send down to us a table spread from heaven, so that it may become a day of celebration for us – for our former and latter people - and a sign from You; and give us sustenance - and You are the Best Provider Of Sustenance.” [Surah Al-Ma’idah, Verse 114]
The day when food is sent from skies is day of rejoicing (EID); then the day when soul of universe (Peace be with him) was born must be the delight for the day of rejoicing.
Look what Allah has said:
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
And abundantly proclaim the favours of your Lord. [Surah Al-Duha, Verse 11]
Allah himself commemorating Milad in Holy Qar’an as we do in our gatherings, Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala Says in the Holy Qur’an:
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللهِ شَهِيدًا
It is He Who has sent His Noble Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, in order to make it prevail over all other religions; and Allah is sufficient as a Witness. [Surah Al-Fatha, Verse 28]
وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And remember when Eisa the son of Maryam said, “O Descendants of Israel! Indeed I am Allah’s Noble Messenger towards you, confirming the Book Torah which was before me, and heralding glad tidings of the Noble Messenger who will come after me – his name is Ahmed (the Praised One)”; so when Ahmed came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is an obvious magic.” [Surah As-Saf, Verse 6
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 38: (Sahih Bukhari)
Narrated 'Ursa; Thuwaiba was the freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted, and then she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, "What have you encountered?" Abu Lahb said, "I have not found any rest since I left you, except that I have been given water to drink in this (the space between his thumb and other fingers) and that is because of my manumitting Thuwaiba."
Abu Lahab freed Thuwaiba on joy at birth of Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam), even the worst of Kufaar and greatest of enemies is given relaxation in his Adhaab due to freeing Thawaiba by pointing with his finger, so Imagine the situation of a momin who rejoices on Mawlid
Ya Nabi Salaam Alaikum Ya rasool Salam Alaikum, Ya Habeeb Salam Alaikum, Swalawatullah Alaikum.

Saheb: what you suggest is what's wrong with the world in developing nations. Discussion leads to enlightenment
saheb: that's the wrong reaction buddy; the post should and will be left as is, so that all us thinking people can read opposing viewpoints and decide which one works better...
Qatar Living please take this post down ,no practising muslim would celebrate Prophet's Birthday because it is against shariah. If you don't take this post down then you are misleading other people path and destroying their imaan.
Muslims never celebarte birthday of Prophet Muhammad (SAL)...
No companions of Peophet Muhammad (SAL) celebrated Birthday of Muhammad (SAL).
In Islam...the one who creates new things on islamic religion is forbidden..(Haram)
This is for non-muslim friends....& Muslim name holders
There are plenty of references available on permissibility of celebrating Mawlid. In fact majority of muslim scholars (IJMA) agreed on this.
In Haramayn (i.e. Makkah and Madina), in Egypt, Yemen rather all people of Arab world have been celebrating Mawlid for long. Upon sight of the moon in Rabi ul Awwal their happiness touches the limits and hence they make specific gatherings for Dhikr of Mawlid due to which they earn immense Ajr and Success.[Biyan al Milaad an Nabwi, Page No. 58]
may allah protect us from evil..
From what I've read, it has become a commercial exercise in many developing nations.
You may acknowledge his birthday, but to celebrate it in a special way is something the Prophet (pbuh) would not have liked. Besides, anything which was good for people, he expressly told them of it; celebrating his birth wasn't one of those things...
You cannot say that every innovation in religion as a Bid'ah, If something new is innovated against the rules of Shariah then it's called Bid'ah.
There is no harm in celebrating Mawlid if performed within laws of shariah. Praising Nabi (sallallahu Alayhi waSallam) through Sermons, Naats will increase Eemaan & love towards Nabi (A.S.).
THE BIRTH OF THE PROPHET ALWAYS RISES AND NEVER FALLS :)

THE BRITH OF THE PROPHET ALWAYS RISES AND NEVER FALLS :)
Praise be to Allaah.
The Prophet himself (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not celeberate his birthday or command anyone to do it, either during his lifetime or after his death. Indeed, he told them not to exaggerate about him as the Christians had exaggerated about Jesus (upon whom be peace). He said: “Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about the son of Maryam. I am only a slave, so say, ‘The slave of Allaah and His Messenger.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari).
Moreover, we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) were the people who loved the Prophet most did not celebrate the birthday of the Prophet. It is confirmed that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who loved him the most, did not celebrate the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) nor ‘Umar’, who ruled for twelve years, nor ‘Uthmaan, nor ‘Ali, his relative and foster son Nor did any of the imaams – Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafi’i, Ahmad, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn Seereen – do this or command others to do it.
The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday appeared many centuries later, when bid’ah (innovation in religion) had become widespread.
What the Qur’aan tells us is that love of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is demonstrated by following the guidance he brought. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say: ‘Obey Allaah and the Messenger.’ But if they turn away, then Allaah does not like the disbelievers.” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:31-32]
We ask Allaah to protect us from bid’ah and to bless us by helping us to follow. Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
It's a business model. But Muslims generally don't celebrate birthdays. I'm not sure if it will work.
