Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is an innovation in Islam. There is no evidence for it in the Islamic Shar'ia. Fatimis were the first to begin this innovation. This, in fact, does not give an evidence of the love of the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) . Instead of this, a person should follow what the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) commands, believe in what he reports, avoid forbidden activities and should worship Allah as He and His Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) have prescirbed. These acts constitute genuine pieces of evidences of one's love to the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). In this regard, Allah Says (Interpretation of meaning): (Say (O Muhammad to mankind), If you (really) love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful).[ 3:31]. On the other hand, celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or the occasion of a new Hijri year or other celebration other than the two Eids of -al-Fitr and -al-Adha (Eids of breaking fast and Sacrifice) is among the invented celebrations and feasts. It is proven from the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: "If somebody tries to introduce into this faith of ours (Islam) something which is not a part of it, is to be rejected and that person is condemned". As for the biography of honourable Hasan Ibn Ali (  ), we advise you to refer to the well-known book "Siyar A'alam-al-Nubala- by Imam Zahabi ( May Allah have mercy on him). We advise you also to read the summarized book (Minhaj al-Sunnah al-Nabawyah) by Imam al-Zahabi or Shaikh Abdullah al-Gkhnaiman . You will find the discussions you are seeking. Allah knows best. | |
