[/SIZE] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]The celebration of Al-Mawlid is a reprehensible Bid’ah and its celebrators have strayed away from the truth, because the religion of Allah is complete and perfect. Allah says that which translates as: [/SIZE][/FONT][B] [COLOR=maroon][FONT=Tahoma] [SIZE=2]"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed my favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as a religion."[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2] (Al-Maa’idah: 3).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]Imaam Maalik, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: "What was considered at that time (i.e. the time of the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his companions) as a part of the religion is the religion, otherwise it is not a part of the religion."[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]It is a historical fact that the Bid’ah of Al-Mawlid was initiated by Al-‘Ubaydiyyoon, who were the atheists that ruled the Faatimi state. This Bid’ah was definitely and undoubtedly not practiced by the distinguished first three generations of the Muslim nation, it is a new innovation and it is misguidance. The Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam[/SIZE][SIZE=2] said: [/SIZE][/FONT][B] [COLOR=green][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2] "Every Bid'ah (innovation) is misguidance"[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2] (Ahmad, Tirmidhi and others). All new innovation are rejected by Allah because the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam[/SIZE][SIZE=2] said: [/SIZE][/FONT][B] [COLOR=green][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2] “He who does something which is not according to what we [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2](i.e., the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his companions)[COLOR=green] are upon then it is rejected”[/COLOR] [/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2](Muslim). [/SIZE][SIZE=2]Imaam An-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: "‘Rejected' meaning false and not considered by Allah at all." He also said: "This Hadeeth lays down one of the great fundamentals of Islam, which rejects and refutes any new innovation in Islam." He further said: "This Hadeeth must be spread and used as a means to negate all new evils." [/SIZE] [/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]Therefore, the Bid’ah of Al-Mawlid is misguidance which is rejected and has no significance to the religion of Islam.[/SIZE][/FONT]
