Every minute of his life is regarded as a reflective torch of guidance for our lives. In fact, no one can truly be a believer until the love of the Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢhas preference and precedence over his life, wealth, parents, children, and the whole of mankind. Surely, no Muslim has ever opposed or differed on the above issue. And we also believe that Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Ali and all other companions ( رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ )اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦloved the Prophet in the highest degree possible. Their love for him reached the best and highest position ever attained by anyone, such that it is said about them, "Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him" ( رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ .)ورﺿﻮا ﻋﻨﻪ We also believe that the manner of love and obedience toward the Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢas exemplified by the companions ( )رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦwas taught to them by the Prophet ( ,)ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢwhich was the most dignified and elevated in status. No true believer whose love for the Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢis true can disagree or differ on this significant point. But unfortunately there are still people today who have introduced and adopted different ways of love for the Prophet ( .)ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢWays that were neither exemplified nor practiced by the noble companions ( .)رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦAn example is specifying the 12th of Rabiul-Awwal for celebrating the Prophet's ( ﺻﻠﻰ )اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢbirthday, illuminating and lighting special kind of lamps, hoisting flags, marching in the streets, feeding and distributing money to the poor, celebrating this day as a holiday, making images of the green mausoleum (dome) that is above the blessed grave of the Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢat Madeenah, strolling and circumambulation with it, around the streets and markets, forming congregational gatherings in order to send peace and blessings upon the prophet in a collective audible fashion. All the above acts are positively innovated acts, which are in opposition to the methodology of the companions ( .)رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦTherefore, they are worthy of being classified as contrary to the actions of companions (.)رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦ Because of the saying of the Prophet (:)ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢ و ﻗﺎل اﻟﻨﺒﻲ ﺻﻠﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢ : ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﺴﻨﺘﻲ وﺳﻨﺔ اﻟﺨﻠﻔﺎء اﻟﺮﺷﺪﻳﻦ ()اﻟﺘﺮﻣﺬي وﻗﺎل ﺣﺴﻦ ﺻﺤﻴﺢ ,اﺑﻮ داؤد "Upon you is to cling to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs." In addition, it is evident and obvious to all people that to celebrate the 12th Rabiul-Awwal as the Prophet's ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢbirthday and to do all the above things is not regarded as the Prophet's Sunnah or the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs. But yes, we can say that it is regarded as the Sunnah of the Christians, who celebrate Issa's ( )ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺻﻠﻮة واﻟﺴﻼمbirthday on the 25th of December. We have been commanded to oppose and differ from the People of the Book (Jews & Christians). )4322رﻗﻢ اﻟﺤﺪﻳﺚ ,ﻣﺴﻨﺪ أﺣﻤﺪ(ﺧﺎﻟﻔﻮا أهﻞ اﻟﻜﺘﺎب :و ﻗﺎل اﻟﻨﺒﻲ ﺻﻠﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢ The Prophet ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢsaid: "Oppose the People of Book (Jews & Christians)." If in reality celebrating the Prophet's ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢbirthday was such a rewarding and blessed action, then how could it be possible that such a rewarding and magnificent act was not done by the companions ?))رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦWhy did they deprive themselves from such a blessed action? Whereas it is explicitly clear and accepted by all, that the companions ,))رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦevery single one of them, was obliterate and tactful in following all the elegant examples of the Prophet (.)ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢ The Historical glance and reality in celebrating the Prophet's ( )ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢbirthday Six centuries of Islam had passed and there was no origin of this innovated act. The era of the companions passed by ,))رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦthe era of the Tabe'een passed by, the period of the great Imaams of hadeeth and Jurists passed by, and none of them perceived or were endowed with this innovated act. However, it was perceived and introduced by an extravagant king by the name of Muzafar-Adeen (died 630 A.H.) who employed a scholar to legalise this celebration. He paid a reward of one thousand Dinaars to this worldly scholar who was devoted to worldly pleasures. The worldly scholar's name was Umar Bin Dahiyyah (died 633 A.H.). He was the culprit responsible for introducing this innovated act in the year 604 A.H. (seventh century of Islam). Let us now examine and analyse the rulings and judgments that the ancient researching scholars have made regarding the extravagant king and the worldly scholar. The great historian Ahmed Bin Muhammad Misree writes: "Muzafarud-Deen was an extravagant king who would celebrate the Prophet's birthday. He was the first person to introduce this act." Moreover, nearly every year he would spend approximately three hundred thousand rupees on this innovated act. Imam Ibn Kathir has written regarding the innovating scholar Umar Bin Dahiyyah saying that he was a liar. People discarded his narrations and held themselves back from trusting them. For this reason he was extremely humiliated and degraded. آﺜﻴﺮ اﻟﻮﻗﻴﺤﺔ ﻓﻲ اﻷﺋﻤﺔ اﻟﺴﻠﻒ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻌﻠﻤﺎء ﺧﺒﻴﺚ اﻟﻠﺴﺎن أﺣﻤﻖ ﺷﺪﻳﺪ :و ﻗﺎل اﺑﻦ ﺣﺠﺮ اﻟﻌﺴﻘﻼﻧﻲ )692,4ﻟﺴﺎن اﻟﻤﻴﺰان (اﻟﻜﺒﺮ ﻗﻠﻴﻞ اﻟﻨﻈﺮ ﻓﻲ اﻣﻮر اﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﻣﺘﻬﺎوﻧﺎ Hafiz Ibn Hajar Asqalaani says: about Umar Ibn Dahiyyah: "He was very impudent and would insolently speak ill of the great Imaams and the Salaf (the predecessors). He possessed a filthy and evil tongue. He was extremely foolish, stupid, and arrogant. He had very little insight of the affairs of the Deen and was lazy." ,ﻟﺴﺎن اﻟﻤﻴﺰان(رأﻳﺖ اﻟﻨﺎس ﻣﺠﺘﻤﻌﻴﻦﻋﻠﻲ آﺬﺑﻪ وﺿﻌﻔﻪ :ﻗﺎل اﺑﻦ اﻟﺘﺠﺎر :و ﻗﺎل اﺑﻦ ﺣﺠﺮ اﻟﻌﺴﻘﻼﻧﻲ 4,295) Hafiz Ibn Hajar Asqalaani also narrates: Ibn Tujjar's saying: "I found that there was a consensus amongst the people regarding Umar Ibn Dahiyyah being a liar and weak." إن ﻋﻤﻞ اﻟﻤﻮﻟﺪ ﺑﺪﻋﺔ ﻟﻢ ﻳﻘﻞ ﺑﻪ و ﻟﻢ ﻳﻔﻌﻠﻪ رﺳﻮل اﷲ :و ﻗﺎل ﻋﺒﺪ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ ﻣﻐﺮﺑﻲ ﻓﻲ اﻟﻔﺘﺎوى )اﻟﺸﺮﻋﻴﺔ اﻻ ﻟﻬﻴﺔ( .ﺻﻠﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ و ﺳﻠﻢ واﻟﺨﻠﻔﺎء واﻷﺋﻤﺔ Allamah Abdur-Rahman Maghrabee has written in his Fataawaa: "No doubt the celebration of the Prophet's birthday is an innovation, it was never practiced by the Prophet ( ,)ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢnor his companions the rightly guided caliphs, and the great Imaams; nor did anyone of them command that it should be practiced. اﻟﻘﻮل ( .ﻗﺪ اﺗﻔﻖ اﻟﻌﻠﻤﺎء اﻟﻤﺬهﺐ اﻻرﺑﻌﺔﺑﺬم هﺬا اﻟﻌﻤﻞ :وﻗﺎل أﺣﻤﺪ ﺑﻦ ﻣﺤﻤﺪ ﻣﺼﺮي ﻣﺎﻟﻜﻲ )اﻟﻤﻌﺘﻤﺪ Allamah Ahmed Bin Muhammad Misree Maalikee says: "Verily there is a consensus amongst the scholars of the four Madhabs on the derogation (dispraise) of this action." Oh respectful Muslim! In the light of all the above evidences and the witnessing of other proofs it becomes obvious to every single person that the people of the best generations up until the 6th Century of Islam were not aware of this innovated act, in fact it became known in the 7th century of Islam due to the effort of an extravagant king and a worldly innovating scholar. If after knowing all this, if even then a person is to assume this action to be a rewarding action, a cause of attaining closeness to Allah and His messenger ( ﺻﻠﻰ ,)اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢand an action of love and gratitude then the remedy for this person can only be given by Allah, which is guidance. Is there a consensus amongst the Researching Ancient Scholars of History regarding the birth date of the Prophet (?)ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺳﻠﻢ So let us examine, analyse and research on this day that the people specify for the Prophet's birthday. Is it actually the exact day on which the prophet ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ))وﺳﻠﻢwas born? Imam Ibn Kathir in his book "Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah" has narrated all the differing opinions of the scholars: 1. The Prophet was born on the 2nd of Rabiul-Awwal. 2. The Prophet was born on the 8th of Rabiul-Awwal. 3. The Prophet was born on the 10th of Rabiul-Awwal. 4. The Prophet was born on the 12th of Rabiul-Awwal. 5. The Prophet was born on the 18th of Rabiul-Awwal. 6. The Prophet was born on the 17th of Rabiul-Awwal. 7. The Prophet was born on the 12th of Ramadhanul-Mubarak. 8. The Prophet was born on the 9th Rabiul-Awwal. 1. " "ﻗﻴﻞ اﻟﻠﻴﻠﺘﻴﻦ ﺧﻠﺘﺎﻣﻨﻪ 2. " "و ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﺜﻤﺎن ﺧﻠﻮن ﻣﻨﻪ 3. " "و ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﻌﺸﺮ ﺧﻠﻮن ﻣﻨﻪ 4. " "وﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﺜﻨﺘﻲ ﻋﺸﺮة ﺧﻠﺖﻣﻨﻪ 5. " "وﻗﻴﻞ اﻟﺜﺎﻣﻦ ﻋﺸﺮ ﻣﻦﺷﻬﺮ رﺑﻴﻊ اﻷول 6. " "و ﻗﻴﻞ ﻟﺴﺒﻌﺔ ﻋﺸﺮ ﺧﻠﺖﻣﻨﻪ 7. " –اﻟﺒﺪاﻳﺔ واﻟﻨﻬﺎﻳﺔ ( "ﻟﺜﻨﺘﻲ ﻋﺸﺮة ﻟﻴﻠﺔ ﻣﻦ ﺷﻬﺮ رﻣﻀﺎن 2,320) 8. " "اﻟﺘﺎﺳﻊ ﻣﻦ ﺷﻬﺮ رﺑﻴﻊ اﻷول Allamah Safiur-Rahmaan Mubarakpuri (Hafidhahullah) chose the last opinion in his book "The Sealed Nectar". Respectful reader! From the above statements you have come to know that the honourable Imaams could not specify an actual birth date for the Prophet ( ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ .)وﺳﻠﻢHow then is it possible that the so-called scholars of today specify a birth date? What evidence do they refer to? Whereas the Imaams, Scholars of History, and the Muhaddeetheen, could not even specify an exact date? We do say in response that, in reality, those who celebrate the Prophet's are actually celebrating the Prophets death. This is because the date of the death of the Prophet was on the 12th Rabiul-Awwal. A final word: May Allah, The Glorified and Exalted, give all the Muslims the ability to abstain from all types of innovation and obscenity and guide all Muslims to follow the Qur'aan and Sunnah according to the Understanding of the noble companions .) )رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻪ اﺟﻤﻌﻴﻦAmeen!
