The Path of Guidance: Understanding the Ruling of Celebrating the Mawlid (the Birthday of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him])
(1/2):
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"I have left you upon a clear path. It’s night is like its day. No one deviates from it except that he is destroyed." [1]
This is a tremendous saying by our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and it shows the clarity and completeness of the guidance he left behind for his Ummah.
It is a simple message, and yet an instruction to his followers. A clear path to follow, no ambiguity, straight and leading to Allah, and also a warning for whoever deviates from it, that their affair will be at loss.
Celebrating the Prophet's birthday was not from the practices of the Prophet himself, nor from the guidance of his Companions, nor the four Imams, nor the first three generations of righteous Muslims (the Salaf), whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) attested to their righteousness in the authentic hadeeth [2].
The celebration of the Mawlid was first introduced in the 4th century of Islam by the Fatimid Shia dynasty in Egypt. This practice was not part of the early Islamic tradition and was established by the Fatimids as a way to promote their religious and political agenda. Over time, the Mawlid spread to various parts of the Muslim world and took on different forms, but its origins are rooted in the Fatimid era, reflecting the influence of Shia practices in shaping this observance.
However, there are still some in the Ummah today who argue in favour of this practice. We say to those Muslims: the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned against innovations in religious matters, saying, "Every innovation is a misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire." [3]
Indeed, drawing closer to Allah is only possible through obeying Allah and his Messenger (peace be upon him). Allah commands us in the Qur'an: "Say (O Muhammad to mankind): 'If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e., accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'" [4]
The People of Knowledge from Ahlus-Sunnah (the People of Sunnah) called this verse (the ayah) of test, because it makes it clear that if someone truly loves Allah, then what will prove their claim is if they follow the way of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The Path of Guidance: Understanding the Ruling of Celebrating the Mawlid (the Birthday of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him])
(2/2):
This means not adding to the religion or taking away from it, and this, in reality, is how one truly honours the religion and the Prophet (peace be upon him)—by being a true follower and not opposing his religious guidance!
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned against innovations, saying, "Whoever introduces into this affair of ours that which is not from it will have it rejected." [5] This is a strong warning, showing that there is no reward for introducing or following innovations.
What further demonstrates the serious consequences of innovating into the deen of Allah is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) foretold of a people who would be turned away from his lake (Al-Hawd) on the Day of Judgment. When he would say, "My followers, my followers!" it will be said to him, "You do not know what they innovated after you." [6]
It is also not established that the exact date of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) birth is known. Scholars differ on this, with the day (Monday) established in an authentic report, but no consensus on the date or month. The Prophet (peace be upon him) fasted on Mondays, saying, "That is the day I was born," [7] but this was never treated as a celebration. Instead, he taught us that there are only two Eids in Islam: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha [8]. Taking his birthday as an Eid goes against his teachings and the clear guidance he left for us (peace be upon him).
In conclusion, it is highly evident, based upon many proofs, that introducing or following new religious practices in Islam is considered an innovation that deviates from the pure teachings of Islam.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned his Ummah: "Every innovation is a misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire." Therefore, Muslims should strive to follow the clear path laid out by the Prophet and avoid practices that were never part of his guidance.
And Allah knows best.

‘If you see that Allaah gives the slave what he loves from the Dunyaa even though he is disobedient, then that is gradual punishment from Allaah.’
Then the Prophet recited: << So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened to them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows. >> [An’aam: 44]

The 5 Daily Prayers are Allah’s Covenant in Return for Jannah
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Jibreel (Gabriel) came to me from Allah, Blessed and Exalted, and said:
"O Muhammad! Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: I have made five prayers obligatory upon your Ummah. Whoever performs them with proper wudu (ablution), at their appointed times, and fulfills their bowing and prostration, I have a covenant with them that I will admit them into Paradise. But whoever meets Me having neglected any part of them, then they have no covenant with Me. If I will, I will punish them, and if I will, I will have mercy on them."

The Recommendation to Spend in Charity from One’s Excess Wealth
On the authority of Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) he said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“O son of Adam, if you give from your excess wealth, it is better for you, and if you withhold it, it is worse for you. You will not be blamed for keeping what is enough for your needs. Start with those you are responsible for, and the upper hand (the one that gives) is better than the lower hand (the one that takes).”

The Stance of the Chosen Ones of Allaah when Afflictions Occur
The saying of Allaah Ta'ala about Yaqoob when his sons first carried out what they did to their brother Yusuf:
بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ
<< Nay, but your own selves have made up a story. So (for me) patience is most fitting. And it is Allaah (Alone) Whose help can be sought against that which you assert. >>
Likewise, what Yaqoob said when the trial became extremely difficult for him when his other son was detained:
بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ
<< ‘Nay, but your own selves have enticed you into something. So patience is most fitting (for me). May be Allaah will bring them (back) all to me. Truly He! only He is All-Knowing, All-Wise.’>>
In what happened to Yaqoob is evidence that if catastrophes and calamities befall those chosen ones of Allaah, initially they confront them with patience and with seeking aid from Allaah, the Master.

Beware of Negating Affairs of Knowledge
Shaykh al-‘Allamah Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"Affirmation is easy to grasp; a person can know it through investigation. But as for negation, it is not possible for one to review all the scholars from the beginning to the end to confirm that no one has said it. For this reason, negation is extremely difficult. One must be cautious about this and should not rush into saying: 'No one has said this,' or similar statements, for they may often be mistaken."

🌻From Umar bin al-Khattab -RadhiAllaahu anhu- that the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
"مَنْ دخَلَ السوقَ فقال: (لا إله إلا الله وحدَه لا شريكَ لهُ، لهُ الملْكُ، ولهُ الحمدُ، يُحْيى وُيميتُ، وهو حيٌّ لا يموتُ، بيدِه الخيرُ، وهو على كلِّ شيءٍ قديرٌ)؛ كَتبَ الله له ألفَ ألفِ حسنةٍ، ومحا عنه ألفَ ألفِ سيِّئةٍ، ورفع له ألفَ ألفِ درجةٍ"
Whoever enters the market place and says –
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, He gives life and He takes life and He is the Ever living and does not die, in His Hand is goodness and He is capable of all things.’
La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyee wa youmeet wa huwa hayun la yamoot biyadihi alkhair wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer
then Allaah writes a thousand thousand good deeds for him, and erases a thousand thousand bad deeds for him, and He raises him up a thousand thousand grades, and a house is built for him in Paradise.’

{{{لا الہ الا اللہ وحدہ لا شریک لہ لہ الملک ولہ الحمد یحیی ویمیّت وھو حیّ لا یموت بیدہ الخیر وھو علی کلّ شیء قدیر}}}
اللہ تعالیٰ اس کے لیے دس لاکھ نیکیاں لکھ دیتا ہے اور دس لاکھ برائیاں مٹا دیتا ہے اور اسے دس لاکھ درجے بلند کر دیتا ہے اور جنت میں اس کے لیے ایک گھر تعمیر فرماتا ہے)

💫Part 9 - Dua for Entering the Market Place 🛒🛒🛒
🌻From Umar bin al-Khattab -RadhiAllaahu anhu- that the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
"مَنْ دخَلَ السوقَ فقال: (لا إله إلا الله وحدَه لا شريكَ لهُ، لهُ الملْكُ، ولهُ الحمدُ، يُحْيى وُيميتُ، وهو حيٌّ لا يموتُ، بيدِه الخيرُ، وهو على كلِّ شيءٍ قديرٌ)؛ كَتبَ الله له ألفَ ألفِ حسنةٍ، ومحا عنه ألفَ ألفِ سيِّئةٍ، ورفع له ألفَ ألفِ درجةٍ"
Whoever enters the market place and says –
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, He gives life and He takes life and He is the Ever living and does not die, in His Hand is goodness and He is capable of all things.’
La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyee wa youmeet wa huwa hayun la yamoot biyadihi alkhair wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer
then Allaah writes a thousand thousand good deeds for him, and erases a thousand thousand bad deeds for him, and He raises him up a thousand thousand grades, and a house is built for him in Paradise.’
[Collected by Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Ibn Abi Duniyaa, al-Hakim and graded Hasan Lighayrihi by Al-Albaani in Saheeh Targheeb no.1694]

وإن لا إله إلا الله لأهل الجنة كالماء البارد لأهل الدنيا
🟩🟩🟩'Allaah did not give a greater blessing to a slave of His from amongst His slaves than that of acquainting them with la ilaha ila Allaah. Indeed La ilaha ila Allaah to the people of Paradise is the like of cool water for the people of the Dunya.'🟩🟩🟩

The Preciousness of 2 Rak'ahs
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet ﷺ passed by a newly dug grave and said:
“Two light units of prayer [rak'ahs], which you may consider small, would add more to this person’s good deeds than everything in your dunyah (worldly life).”

'When the Companions -may Allaah be pleased with them-
and those after them used to find themselves negligent or their Eemaan was being scattered and weakened, they would say to each other:
sit with us so we can increase our Eemaan for an hour.
They would remember Allaah, they would remember the religious and worldly blessings, and by that they would renew their Eemaan.'
