12th Rabi’ Al-Awal?

Whole day i watched whether somebody would post about this day..

People seemed to be interested in daily chores of bashing each others..

I suggest all of us to post atleast on hadith on a topic we like so as to spread the message and share knowledge....

Edit:

Here goes mine contribution

A Hadith clearly proclaims: "He who does not respect the elders amongst us and is not merciful upon the young is not one of us." Another Hadith states: "Verily it is from the dictates of the respect for Allah Ta'ala to respect a Muslim of advanced age, to respect a bearer of the Qur'an (one who has learnt the Qur' an) who does not exceed its bounds nor does he disregard it and to respect a just ruler." [Unfortunately many children become bearers of the Qur'an but disregard it by violating its injunctions.] Among the numerous instances of emphasising respect, some of them are: Giving preference to the one who knows more Qur'an, standing to welcome an elder, allowing the older person to speak first, etc.

should 12 Rabi’ul-Awwal be celebrated or not (only muslims)?

should 12 Rabi'ul-Awwal be celebrated or not (only muslims)?

Celebrating the Prophet’s birthday (al-mawlid) is an innovation, and doing special acts of worship on this day such as saying tasbeeh and tahmeed, observing i’tikaaf, reading Qur’aan and fasting is an innovation for which a person will not receive any reward, for these are all rejected.

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours that is not part of it will have it rejected.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2550; Muslim, 1718.

According to a version narrated by Muslim (1718) he said: “Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours will have it rejected.”

Al-Faakihaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

We do not know of any basis for this mawlid in the Qur’aan or Sunnah, and there is no report that any of the scholars of this ummah, who are examples in matters of religion and adhere to the path of those who came before, did this. Rather it is an innovation (bid’ah) which was introduced by those who have nothing better to do, and it is a means for them to have fun and eat a lot.

Al-Mawrid fi ‘Aml al-Mawlid, quoted in Rasaa’il fi Hukm al-Ihtifaal bi’l-Mawlid al-Nabawi, 1/8, 9

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

If celebrating the Prophet’s birthday was prescribed, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have told his ummah of that, because he is the most sincere of people and there is no Prophet after him who could explain anything he did not speak about. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the Seal of the Prophets and he explained to the people what he had to explain of the truth, such as loving him and following his sharee’ah, sending blessings and salaams upon him and other rights of his that are explained in the Qur’aan and Sunnah. He did not tell his ummah that celebrating the day of his birth was something prescribed so that they would do that. He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not do that during his lifetime and his companions (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who were the dearest of people to him and the most knowledgeable of his rights did not celebrate that day, neither did the Rightly-Guided Caliphs or any others. Then those who followed them in truth of the best three generations did not celebrate this day either.

Do you think that all these people were ignorant of his rights or fell short with regard to them, until the later generations came and made up for this shortfall and made the truth complete? No, by Allaah. No wise man who understands the nature of the Sahaabah and how they followed the truth would say this. If you understand that the celebration of the Prophet’s birthday was unknown at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the time of his companions and the time of their earliest followers, you will realize that it is an innovation that has been introduced into the faith, and it is not permissible to do it, approve of it or advocate it, rather we must denounce it and warn people against it.

Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 6/318, 319

:

It is not permissible for anyone to make up a du’aa’ or dhikhr and promulgate it among the people. The du’aa’ that is called du’aa’ al-raabitah is an innovated du’aa’, and thinking of those who are being prayed for and believing that they will recognize the one who is praying for them and will call out to him in Paradise – all of that is Sufi myths and fables that have no basis in the religion of Allaah. The Islamic guidelines by means of which a person can distinguish between Sunnah and bid’ah, right and wrong, are clear. The basic principle with regard to acts of worship is that nothing is permitted unless there is evidence. We cannot seek to draw closer to Allaah by doing an act of worship unless there is evidence from the Qur’aan or saheeh Sunnah that it is prescribed. The basic principle for the Muslim is to follow and not to innovate, and innovations will be rejected. Allaah has completed this sharee’ah for us and has completed His blessing upon us, so what need do we have for such innovations to be part of our lives at the time when we are falling so far short with regard to that which is proven in sharee’ah?

Dear Brothers and sisters we have to be very careful not to fall into the trap of Shayatan.As good Muslims we try to keep away from doing wrong,as much as possible and try to obey Allah the Almighty and The Prophet Peace and blessings be upon Him.So the satan began to change his tactics and began to wisper to us to do what the christians are doing.They Celebrate Prophet ISA"S Birthday peace be on him so we began to celebrate our Prophets birthday.So we in our Ignorance began to believe ''whats wrong in this we are only celebrating our prophets birthday,peace and blessings b
