[@siafellagrrrgrrgrrr8420]

I have been suffering because of these people who call themselves 'salafis'. They are so harsh and heartless. They don't tolerate ANYTHING. They call everyone kafir and mushrik, ahlul bid3ah? That is a big sin itself. It's crazy wallah. How could you have such bad akhlaaq, judge everyone, look down on scholars etc etc and still think you're the only right 'sect'. It's so sad. May Allah 'azza wa jal guide us all

[@marib5440]

they are the biggest ahlul bidah

[@AbuAadam623]

I feel sorry for your experience, some have bad manners but that’s probably in the West. The way of the Salaf is nothing but Quran and Sunnah so be careful. Look into it and research before you make blanket statements as we all have stories to tell.

[@Abbody1337]

You are generalizing okay and that's also bad akhlaaq ya munfiq

[@wallingtonluke]

Not good to make a blanket statement of a whole group of people, just because some individuals claim to be a part of that same sect. Maybe you should do some research of what Salafiyah is before judging the call based on individuals. It's just as bad as the ignorant kuffar listening to the media believing all Muslims are terrorist. Do your own research.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 747

[@mayaadnan7389]

He's right. We follow our Habibs too. Habib Umar bin Hafidz did celebrate it in Indonesia last night with other Habibs/Sayyids. People follow them because of their adab and akhlak. They respect their students. Salaffists doesn't have it. They only know how to insult, mock, and punish people. Here they bombed places and killed hundreds of people. Knowledge without adab is nothing.

[@ImranMostly]

but who is Habib brother? does he know better than the sahabas (RA)? why should we follow him or any Sheikhs who do something the Sahabas (RA) never did? And Idk what following ALLAH SWT and his Rasul SAW and 3 righteous gen has to anything with insult or mocking people? why do you think every salaf follower is bad? so does it mean every madhabi is good? how do you measure it?

If there’s so much debate around it isn’t the safer option to not do it?

Most ulama were of the opinion that it is allowed to do mawlid. There are only very few, like the Sheikh in the video mentions, i think maybe 3 who don't allow it. So really there is not such a difference as the Salafis claim. We should follow the majority. Its only the Salafis who follow the 3 ppl mentioned above and who go around calling it biddah.

Do what the Prophet did , fast Monday. The Muslims doesn't need a Christmas once a year feast😊 ..rather fast weekly on Monday like Rasullah and be pleased with that..Indeed the Sunna is enough for the Believers.

[@alismesem4358]

First of all this is an issue of dispute between scholars, and some great and famous scholars provided evidences on why it is permissible to celebrate the Mauled so writing something like "every one will be held accountable on the day of reckoning !" when people are doing something that s totally legit amongst great scholars is just wrong and it is extreme. So what are you going to do with the other great scholars with more knowledge than us? Accept, respect and tolerate. Second of all Allah will reward and punish people based on their niyyah. Who are you to write something like that and how dare you???? By that logic the same should apply for every single difference of opinion among scholar, don't you understand how much confusion this creates? May Allah guide us all

[@crescentviewhs]

Thanks sheik

[@sofianvcamp]

the Ash‘aris have their own madhhab, with its own understanding of the divine names and attributes, faith, and what will happen in the hereafter.

[@mistermannan]

One thing the sheikh didn't address is that people focus on this and don't focus on the Faraid. As the sheikh mentioned , people don't think of the Prophet peace be upon him so this day has been instituted as a means to sing his praises and remember him. Shouldn't the focus be to inculcate the love of Allah and His rasool in our hearts at all times. So move away from this day and hold regular sessions. Reminders. And encourage the following of the Sunnah is the true way to show our love for the messenger peace be upon him. May Allah guide us all. Aameen.

[@jrock2019]

I believe he explains this in the beginning

[@lumiam6982]

I agree but laymen won't fast every Monday so when the actual birthday happens it's his way of fasting, watching or reading about the history of the holy prophet (PBUH), praising and singing to the prophet like the companions did. making Salawat, doing Tawasuul and reading the Qu'ran for an hour or more. Unfortunately, people have misunderstanding of the Mawlid and assume we only remember and praise him on this day when we should do it everyday but Mawlid is his actual birthday and a good practise for the laymen. Jazakallah Khair.

[@Crocodilesbread]

sorry in advance brother is that the faraid, or fardh? I conclude what you mean is fardh not faraid, because faraid is about inheritance. if the problem is not focused on fardh, all muslims know fardh is an obligation that must be done. if a Muslim doesn't focus on fardh it depends on each person . many miraculous events also happened at the birth of our beloved prophet in Islamic literature > The Extinguishing of the Fire of the God of Majusi which has not been extinguished for a thousand years, everyone unites both weak and strong to try to revive the fire. However, their efforts failed and the fire did not return to life. > the Palace of Kisra of the Persian King was shaken at that time, until 14 of his palace balconies fell. > Not only the fire of the Majusi, Lake Sawa in Iraq also became dry when the Prophet was born. Previously, the lake was a place for offerings of gods. The birth of the best human being on earth was welcomed including his own uncle, Abu Lahab. Abu Lahab was so happy to welcome his nephew's birth, he freed a slave named Tsuwaibah when our beloved Prophet born. Isn't it that we love the Messenger of Allah the same as loving Allah too? mawlid contains recite the Qur'an, read the sirah, sholawat [sunnah], gather fellow Muslims [sunnah] and eat with fellow Muslims [sunnah]. if the way of organizing it is wrong, criticize[discuss] the way they do it instead of blaming the mawlid, always think positive [Isn't this what Islam teaches?] especially fellow Muslims. please if you don't believe/like/fit in the mawlid but at least don't punish fellow Muslims astray

[@mistermannan]

@@lumiam6982 you've just gone over what the sheikh said and what I've already spoken about. Just wanted to address your point about it being the prophet's peace be upon him birthday. It's not. The only thing we know about the 12th of Rabi ul Awwal is that it is the day he passed away. His birthday is not confirmed as being on that day.

[@mistermannan]

@@jrock2019 he doesn't. Because he goes on to try to justify celebrating this day. I acknowledged in my comment that the sheikh mentioned this. But his workaround for it was to focus on one day instead of encouraging the daily actions of Sunnah. Something the sheikh and others like him should do in order to move the focus away from one day.

The authentic way of every Muslims life is to celebrate every Sunnah of our Beloved Nabee-e-Kareem s. a.w. way of life daily. The holy Quran has stated that nobody is better than the other accept by virtuous. Our entire lineage comes from Adam A.S and every Prophet cane to teach the oneness of Almighty Allah. Follow our Beloved Prophet Mohammed S. A. W. As he needs to be followed in our daily lives. We as Muslims dont have specific days in our lives except Fridays. Our Beloved Nabee-e-Kareem S.A.W. said he will amongst the poor and will be raised amongst the poor there is a meaning to what he has said. Yes, his linage or blood line does have a specialty, and that is by virtuous. Our bloodline is linked to Adam A.S. all of us human beings. The holy Quran is our guidance and the way of our Beloved Nabee-e-Kareem s.a.w. is our practical way of life. What he did we do and what he not do we should abstain from.Our religion is very simple. Every single day of our lives, we should celebrate our Beloved Nabee-e-Kareem s.a.w. way of life. That's the way we will be judged. Almighty Allah, forgive me if i have not spoken the truth Jzkl.khair

Sorry to say but most of those laymen who celebrate Mawlid can't even read Quran properly and don't pray they 5 salah. And where do you draw the line with celebrating mawlid ? huge parades on the streets blocking roads, cars decorated, in some village smwr they put a boy on a camel depicting the prophet for a parade, some play disco music for mawlid nasheeds. I really liked what he said at 11:15 , but again those who celebrate Mawlid from my experience look down on you if you don't sit in the gathering to listen to their nasheeds or talks. However, I understand and appreciate the point sheikh is making, Allahumma barik.

I dont do it because of my work and so on I am grateful with our prophet and i follow him in my life. There are some groups on the mawlid 1. The one who reject but are in peace with the other 2 the one who accept but are in peace with the other 3. The rejector and who called the other mubtadi or kafir 4. Acceptor who called the other daal-modil and kafir In short, mawlid is not obligatory like salah fasting hajj and zakah Sometimes it can be bida’ and some times it can be aloud it is a fiqh casus and the element on it decides what the conclusion will be. So be careful
