Milad un nabee is innovation and nothing to do with islam.

The establishment of ceremonial gatherings under the banner of “Eid-Milad-un-Nabee” and attaching religious significance to them is purely bid’ah and an innovation in Deen, because neither did Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam himself indulge in it, nor did the illustrious Khulafaa-e-Raashideen, Radi-Allahu anhum, organize such functions. Similarly, neither did any of the other Sahaaba-e-Kiraam, Radi-Allahu anhum, participate in such gatherings, nor is there any incident on record during the blessed era of the taabi’een or tab’e taabi’een (Rahmat-u-Allahi alayhim) that can, in any way, substantiate this innovation. These people were best acquainted with the Sunnah of Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam and had total love for him. They were staunch followers of the Shariah.

Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam has in no unclear terms, said: “Whoever introduces anything that is not part of Deen, into this Deen of ours, it shall be rejected.” (Bukhari/Muslim)

In another Hadith he says: “Hold fast onto my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Khulafa, after me. Hold fast onto it firmly, and beware of newly-introduced practices, for every new practice is an innovation and every innovation leads one astray.” (Abu Dawood/Tirmizi)

Severe warnings have been sounded in the above-mentioned Ahadith with regard to introducing and implementing innovations in Deen. The holy Qur’an enjoins: “And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.” [Al-Hashr 59:7]

“Verily in the messenger of Allah, ye have a good example for him who looks unto Allah and the last day, and remembers Allah much.” [Al-Ahzab 33:21]

“This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed my favor unto you, and have chosen for you a religion, al-Islam.” [Al-Maidah 5:3]

There are numerous other Ayat and Ahadith that can be quoted. But from no Ayat or Ahadith can the current form of “Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabee Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam” be proved.

Will such innovations grant proximity to Allah Taala? On the contrary, these innovations should be a cause of great concern and alarm for the Ummat-e-Muslimah!

It is a known fact that Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam is the most superior of all the Ambiyaa alaihimus-salaam and also that he is the seal of all the prophets alayhimus-salaam. He left no stone unturned in conveying Deen to us and rendering precious advice to us. If the “Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabee Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam” was a divinely inspired act, then surely Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam would have commanded the Muslims to it, or at least, either he or his beloved Sahabah, Radi-Allahu anhum, would have practiced it.

Regarding question 994 about Milad. You quoted an islamic organization which says it is bidat and not allowed. Is that your opinion?
That is why, in the light of these unambiguous proofs, the Ulama-e-Haqq have always refuted and rejected the customary form of “Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabee Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam” and Mahfeel-e-Milad and have also always discouraged people from participating in such gatherings.

Some Wrongs of the Contemporary Milad Gatherings

The contemporary form of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabee Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam apart from being a manifestation of Bid’ah, also encompasses other evils such as the intermingling of sexes, usage of musical instruments and many other such evils. The most abhorring and shocking evils in these functions are the acts of shirk that take place. With hollow claims of “Hubbe-Rasul Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam” (love for Rasulullah Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam) entreaties and supplications are made to beings other than Allah, namely to Ambiyaa alaihimus-salaam and Auliaa-e-Kiraam Rahmat-u-Allahi-alaaihim.

Establishing proof and evidence that Mecca is Macoraba.

  1)MACORABA MACORABA  ( Μακοράβα ), an inland city of Arabia Felix, placed by Ptolemy in lat. 73° 20′, long. 22°, universally admitted to be the ancient classical representative of the modern  Mekka  or  Mecca,  which Mr. Forster holds to be an idiomatic abbreviation of Machoraba, identical with the Arabic “Mecharab,” “the warlike city,” or “the city of the Harb.” ( Geog. of Arabia,  vol. i. pp. 265, 266.) A very high antiquity is claimed for this city in the native traditions, but the absence of all authentic notices of it in the ancient geographers must be allowed to disprove its claim to notoriety on account of its sanctity at any very remote period. The territory of  Mekka  was, according to universal Arabian history or tradition, the central seat of the kingdom of Jorham and the Jorhamites, descendants of the Joktanite patriarch Sherah, the Jerah of the book of Genesis (10.26), who in the earliest times were the sovereigns of Mekka, the...

Hadeeth does not permit umm al walad

Selling an Umm Walad (a slave who has given birth to a child of her owner) is not permitted according to the vast majority of the jurists. This includes the madhab of the sahaba such as Umar, Usman, Ali (one or earlier opinion), Ibn Abbas (one report), Aisha, Ibn Masud. And this is the view of the four Sunni madhabs: Malikis, Hanafis, Shafi'is and Hanbalis. You are most likely only aware of this madhab since it is the predominant opinion. The evidence for this madhab includes among other things the following hadith: نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن بيع أمهات الأولاد , لا يبعن ولا يوهبن ولا يورثن , يستمتع بها سيدها ما بدا له فإذا مات فهي حرة The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale of the (slave) mothers of one's children, they can not be sold, nor gifted, nor inherited. The master will make use of her while he is alive and when he dies she shall be free. — Sunan al-Daraqutni Nevertheless there is minority opinion that holds their sale as permitted. This has been reported fr...

Did umar ibn al khattab(ra) prohibited hajj tamattu and nikah mutah?(Is Hajj al tamattu same like nikah al mutah)

The word Mut’ah is very versatile in its application. In a technical sense it may apply to a temporary marriage. It is also used to describe a format of Hajj where the pilgrim dons the ihram during the months of Hajj with the intention of ‘Umrah. After completion of ‘Umrah a new intention is undertaken, this time for Hajj.The literal meaning of word 'Mutah' is 'enjoyment.The "mut'ah of Hajj" means ("hajj al-tamattu", meaning "joy of Hajj")the relaxation of the ihram ("sacred state") between the Umrah and Hajj, including its dress code and various prohibitions.Hajj tamattu‘ means entering ihram for ‘umrah only during the months of Hajj – the months of Hajj are Shawwaal, Dhu’l-Qa‘dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah – so when entering ihram for it, one should say: “Labbayk ‘umratan (Here I am for ‘umrah).”  Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing ‘umrah of tammatu‘:  When the pilgrim reaches the miqaat, she should do gh...
