Alhamdulillah I thank ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY for that knowledge coz most of people don't follow the Prophet S.A.W teachings and ways. May ALLAH open our eyes from practicing bid'a

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

Right Allahu Akbar, you are reading and understanding.Good. You put forth a good point.All of which I said was endorsed by the Prophet pbuh.Good Point.You see brother, the issue is not whether the Prophet pbuh endorsed it or not.The Issue is the Sahabahs had the initiative to do something NEW even before the Prophet pbuh taught them.So that means, whatever the Prophet pbuh did not do, that does not mean you can't do.

[@sayyedmuzammil9311]

what i like in this video is speakers honesty truth and straight to the point. and of coz the point of celebration of national day raised

[@sahmed75081]

The elements of Mawlid are Recitation of Quran Nasheed Speeches about seerah Salam and Durood Let me know which element is prohibited in Islam. If anybody has problem with the word "Mawlid", it's their problem. Don't make false assumptions about the celebration. Anything beyond above elements is not allowed by our Ulemas. May Allah shower numerous Blessings on this person who learnt the Islam in its true spirit on this part of the world and teaching to those who are Muslims by default. What a contrast.

it depends on whom you define as a scholar too. As if I told you brother, I am 100 precent sure that Sahaba, tabeen, atba tabeen, and atba atba tabeen....loved the prophet more than us. and they showed their loves by following the Quran and Sunnah. Dancing and celebrating the mawlid have no mention in Quran or Sunnah May Allah guide us to the right path. My brother I urge myself and you to always ask Allah to show us the right path and make us upon those who follow the truth not their desires

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

Good Point,You our love for the Prophet pbuh can never be compared to the Sahabahs.Even if we do what the sahabahs did, we will still not be able to reach such love.Even the maulid is not up to their standard.You see, the maulid was not done because it was not needed at that time.The Sahabahs were with the Prophet pbuh most of the time, they know the Prophet pbuh.This continued for centuries.The great Imams knew the Prophet pbuh at their fingertips.

[@Rangdebou]

I Love Mawlid e Nabi :) Subhanallah!

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

Even to that extent, the scholars are so cautions in initiating a new issue.We,the common people should stay close and follow the Sunnah of the Prophet pbuh.If WE initiate anything new then we are in trouble because we are doing something based on our own will because we don't understand the Quran and Sunnah.Now, the word Sunnah has several meanings,the Syar'ie meaning is referred as the way of the Prophet pbuh.In it's literal sense, it means a way.

[@morshed06khan]

In BANGLADESH (Chittagong), We celebrate Mawlid with a huge Assembly and It's as big That Now everyone says.. It's still the Biggest Assembly for Mawlid in the Whole ASIA. .. Chittagong is a Region of Sufis and they had came from IRAQ, IRAN, ARAB, EGYPT and so on to Spread ISLAM. AlhamdullilALLAH.

[@AfwaunMuMeen]

+Morshed Khan All because a large group of "Muslims" are doing something DOESN'T mean the act is permissible, FOR EXAMPLE, the MAJORITY of Muslims DON'T PRAY, the MAJORITY of Muslim MEN don't have beards & DON'T dress according to the Sunnah, the MAJORITY of Muslims are slowly leaving Deen because they rather democracy & the list goes on; SHOULD WE TAKE THEIR ACTIONS AS IF IT'S PROOF TO STOP Praying, cut the beard, abandon the Sunnah etc etc... Even ALLAH TA'ALA Himself says "IF you follow the MAJORITY, you WILL go ASTRAY"

Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast......

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

Yes, Bilal r.a created a NEW prayer. Prayer is part of the Religion.You have to consider every hadith and not only take your hukum(ruling) from one hadith. You see the hadith meant " Whosoever invents something new which is not part of the deen, that is rejected". What does this mean? This means that there are new things that is still part of the deen and this is not rejected. You see, if something goes against the syariah and is not supported by any hadith.Then that is rejected.

[@allavi231]

Shayk Abdul Qadir el Jilani (rehmatullahi alaih) in his book guniyat ul talibeen, said to adhere to Ahl Sunnah wal Jamaah, to all muslims. And celebrating mawlid is a criteria to check if one is from Ahl Sunnah or not.

[@123STiNG321]

Keeping in mind the hadith I mentioned above, the prophet pbuh said ("Whoever commits an act which is not a part of our matter (religion), will have it (his act) rejected." in religion not in our life. if u want to invent anything new in this life go ahead but when it comes to religion, don't add anything new to it and say it is a part of Islam.

Quote the Hadith Properly brother, "Whoever commits a NEW act which is not part of our matter, will have it rejected." What does this hadith mean? It means there are new acts which are in accordance with the syariah, with the deen, this is accepted. However, new acts that is not PART of the deen/religion which means no basis in the deen, this is rejected.

Coz you are wahabia thats why u did not heard any thng

[@RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

Good, but I think the scholars need to speak about nationalism and how the Saudis waste money. They also invite US airforce on their land and do not speak against the terrorism of Israelis. They are afraid of their king or prince and so the easy thing to do is to speak against Mawlid, which is celebrated by the poor people of the community. It's always easier to condemn the poor people.

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

There are many things which the Prophet did not do and the Sahabahs did it.So to be fair about the definition of Bid'ah, We say, Not everything that the Prophet pbuh did not do falls in Bid'ah Dhalalah because if we say so then it's going against the understanding of the sahabahs.

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

You see why did'nt the sahabas celebrate maulid? Firstly because maulid was not needed during that time because the sahabas were so close to Rasullulah pbuh.They remember Rasullulah pbuh every single second of their lifes.You see, in our time, nobody recognise Rasullulah pbuh anymore.People don't know his Sirah. So it is a need for them to know it because you have to love Rasullulah more than yourself for you to be considered someone with iman.I'm not saying Maulid is a must but can be done.

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

See the double standard? I don't celebrate maulid once a year, I do it always but the mode at which I do it differs.Like I said before, if you want to read about the Sirah at home and not attend the maulid, it's fine.No problem but don't blame people who celebrate it.Maulid is khilafiyyah because there are no clear evidence on it, that's why the scholars differ.We don't determine who is the scholar and who is not.

[@byefareed]

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

Both opinions are according to the guidelines of the Quran and Sunnah.You see if someone does not do a Sunnah of the Prophet pbuh, that does not classify him as an innovator just yet.Why?

[@mahroufhussain8704]

Mash'Allah great Bayan

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

What I intend to tell you is that, Maulid is something which scholars differ upon. Some are against it and some are For it. But for you to call it a bid'ah then it's something wrong.If you really follow the Sunnah of the Prophet pbuh, you will never call it a Bid'ah because the Prophet did not call something a Bid'ah just because it's new.He would ask first and then he would explain.Never did he say something is Bid'ah straight away.

[@shafeequeahmed4272]

If Rasulullah lives today would he approve such a thing, the most humble man ever lived who hated even people standing up when he arrives? You mentioned Jibreel as taught the prophet deen. Did he teach about maulid also which started centuries after prophet?

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

But now, People dont know the Prophet pbuh.They want to love the Prophet pbuh but they don't know his Sirah,His Names,His Hadiths,his Sunnah.Knowledge is slowly decreasing.That is why the maulid was done.During the maulid we are remembering the Prophet pbuh.If you don't want to celebrate then it's fine, you can read the Sirah through books.No Problem but People don't do that anymore.Just keep in mind, we cannot compare ourselves to the best generations.We are far from them.

Abu Qatada Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Massenger (may peace be upon him) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me. It is clear from this Hadith that the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) was very happy about the day of his birth and so fasted out of gratitude. Fasting is a form of worship, so one can celebrate this day by any form of ibada.

[@maxmudxareed1345]

[@RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

I was reading the hadith on the verse of deen completion and the Jews said about this verse that if it was revealed to us, we would have made this day an Eid. I think this was reported by Umar (RA) - need to check this. They are making an Eid out of a verse and a nobody said if they wouldve done so, it would be bidah.

[@EngineerZX]

1- disagreement on the mawlid !?&*& Bro, are you for real??? from whom???? if it didn't start till after more than 300 years after the death of the prophet (none of the sahaba or the family of the prophet did it to disagree on it from the first place) or your talking of people that came 400 or 500 years after the sahaba? 2- :) really because saudi did something wrong then it's ok to do something wrong? 3- the religion is complete, as Allah said in the quran, no need for innovation 4- All bidah/innovation is in hell fire and are rejected as the prophet said (so if you really love the prophet you would obey him) 5- if you believe there is disagreement then the hadith said leave the disagreement and the middle non clear area to the clear area--- so then leave the bidah simple (if you had doughts , though it's very clear)

[@zaismail786]

Bro, Celebration of Mawlid as in having a gathering in which the ummah is reminded and taught about the sacred life of Rasul SAW is not objectional at all. This was done by Sahaba also. They discussed the noble life of Rasul SAW. WHY SHOULD mawlid only be understood as the activities done by some deviant group. Yes surely that manner & method is not found in the life of the noble companions RA. But if there is a gathering in the masjid reminding us of the Noble birth, Life & sunnah of Rasul SAW then there can be no objection to that. Hassaan Bin Thabit RA was honoured for singing the praises of Rasul SAW. As long as the method does not contradict Quraan & sunnah. The issue with the deviant group is that they refer to those that dont celebrate the way they celebrate as Gustakh e Rasul. (Literally meaning those who dis-honour Rasul SAW. That is a huge cause of division in the ummah.

[@EngineerZX]

+Ismail Moola - none of the Sahaba nor the family or wife of the prophet or the Tabieen nor the 4 imams Celebratied the Mawlid (though they could off, if they wanted and had the means ) so are you better then them all combined? - the deen is complete and no need for add-ons,,,, as Allah said he completed our deen, so it's not what you like nor what you desire that makes it right - biddah/innovation is harram by the words of the prophet and if you loved him you would've followed him not invented in his deen - yes you can have a halaqah to study about the life of the prophet anytime of the year.... but making a special day, a fixed day, a holiday , a "Maulid" that the prophet didn't make is the biddah ,,,, so do like what the sahaba did,, and teach about the prophet anytime in the years ,,, why you have to have it on a specific day??why making a holy day in islam from a day that wasn't said to be holy by no one in the first 300 years of islam including the prophet?? (while it is known for sure it is the day the prophet died!!! but not agreed if it was his birth!!)

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

The Three Generations liek I said before, met Sahabahs,met people who met the Sahabahs.They know the Prophet pbuh on their fingertips.Moreover, compare their knowledge to our knowledge.They studied many ilmu.Most of them are mujtahid Imams,so the maulid is not a need because they know alot of things.Who said I celebrate one day? The scholars of Saudi was against the maulid but at the same time they allowed the Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab day.

It's ok brother, It's a challenge for me if someone brings proof against my stand.This is where truth will reveal itself.My intention is to find truth and not to promote other people's belief.Using my knowledge,whatever I have learnt, I pour everything out.Only Allah will decide who is right and who is wrong.

WHO in their right mind can believe that they loved the Prophet {Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam} MORE then the SAHABAH??? NO-ONE!!!!! YET despite their SINCERE/TRUE LOVE for the Prophet {Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam}, NOT one Sahaabi was ever reported to "celebrate" the Prophet's Birthday, KNOWN FACT! People of BID'AH do NOT think with their Aql (intelligence). They think with their EMOTIONS, hence they are UNABLE to understand that Islam IS what Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) AND the Sahaabah taught. We follow the Islam which has reached us by reliable transmission from the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah & THIS CUSTOM WAS NOT RELIABLY TRANSMITTED FROM NO AUTHORITY OF THE SALAF.

I think everyone would agree to that. Rasul sa fasted on Monday on account of his birthday. So if someone really loves prophet sa. fasting on Monday is much better I think. Especially in a situation where there is no consensus on date, as we have 8th, 10th and 12th of Rabiul awal.

bro which new prayer that Bilal r.a created ?! first time i hear of this!!

[@DeenfinityNetwork]

I'll just give you an example. The Great Sahabah, Bilal Ibn Abi Rabah. What did he do? Whenever he takes him ablution and whenever he says the azan, he will pray two rakaats. Did the prophet teach him to do it? Did the prophet himself did it? No he did not. So do you dare call Bilal r.a an innovator?

[@ijal1984]

Innovation is prohibited- In Ibadah, and any other new introduction in the name of the Religion. Mawlid is not Ibadah. Nor has anyone made it compulsory in the name of Islam. Its a day, some spent to remember the Sirah of The Prophet. People can read the Sirah of the Prophet in any other day of the Year if they want to.But for those who didn't (the general public) this is the one day they're reminded of Sirah Nabawi. People has to remember that, there are Muslims in Countries, far away from the Country of Origin of the Prophet. They can't see Masjd Nabawi everyday. Some could only Visit Mecca only once in their lifetime ever. The considerations are for these people. For them to be reminded of the Kalimah their Deen of The One God (laila ha illallah) and their Prophet (muhammad rasulullah).

[@MSH786]

Not all "innovations" are prohibited. Take for example, transportation by way of planes, trains, and automobiles...they are "innovations" to the donkeys and horses of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH&HF) time, but they are not prohibited modes of transportation even in the most conservative "Islamic countries". However, any "deviation" that takes you away from Islam and Tawhid and the remembrance of Prophet Muhammad, then and only then is that haram or prohibited, so because the Mawlid brings you closer to the teachings of Islam taught to us Muslims by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF), there is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating the birth of the Prophet.

The idea about his arguments is that, to say something is haram or not, there must be a justification that leads to the rulling. Not everything is describe 100% in Quran and Sunnah, for example to use handphone is it haram or not etc. But the job of our Ulama is to derive the essence of the knowledge and explain to us. That is why the earlier scholars have no problem with Mawlid, one can choose to do or not. But it was OK. But the problem when a person has no knowledge on something, and automatically say its haram or a learned person who imposes his understanding to a person, that is when the Ummah have problems.. Our deen is complete already which means that the knowledge to explain and answer everything has been completed! He answers it for layman person, he did not misdirect or avoiding the answer but to quote a real quotes by books and salaf imams would u even benefit from it since you don't even know much ... he has other videos on this so search on..

Listening to sufi gufi a man don't even follow simple effortless sunnah keeping beard according to his saying the effortless beard what so good about him

[@dontlogin79]

Why don't you grow some balls and tell him personally to grow a beard.

[@OneReligionOneIslam]

How do u know that he can even grow a beard? Some people cannot grow a beard.

[@hammadsiddiqui8421]

He can't grow a full beard as he has mentioned before. Have some husn az zan as Allah Hates those who look down on others and become arrogant whether you be looking down on a muslim or a non muslim.

[@mussamohammed6241]

celebrating national day its not deen ...where as celebrating mawlid al nabi you celebrate as a festival you celebrate as deen so its a bidah

[@youssoufsanogo9941]

Then having rugs, microphones and clocks in mosques is also bidah

[@wentyOZ]

Masha Allah I am confused!!! Some of my favorite Sheikh said its OK and some other my favorite Sheikh said NO NO.. who to believe...? or should I just keep one Sheikh at the time to avoid confusion Oh dear....

[@MrJohnnesh]

Seek judgment from your heart even if your are given fatwas by muftis.

[@wentyOZ]

I think my judgment says, Islam must be pure, that is why God has preserved the Quran so we are the Ummah should avoid the innovations. If all companions never celebrated it then what makes us better than them and more knowledgable than them. Yeah... I think this is my final judgment. Thanks

[@MrJohnnesh]

Emak Euteu Ummah should avoid innovations. I think the problem is in understanding the real meaning of innovation. In Muslim the bahs of Siyam, in one hadith prophet saw explained Monday fasting by his birth day. If you say none of sahabi celebrated this, I would say prophet himself celebrated by doing ibadah. So, for me there is nothing wrong if you call it innovation (bidah) and keep avoiding it. Problem starts if you do takfir to the people who is busy with celebration. Assalam alaikom

[@wentyOZ]

Wa'alikum salam brother, thank you for sharing your thought.

[@harriothawkins7347]

Emak Euteu follow the revalation, not the people

[@abdisamadmohamed5810]

brother hamza yusuf remember bidah two types when it comes to shariah means some thing has no base to the book of allah or sunnah of messenger if the mowlid is good why the messenger or his companions didnt do it or taabiu taabiiin

[@aamerjunaidi6602]

Brother Abdisamad, is there any ruling in Quran or Prophet's hadith that "We should only do what sahaba(RA) did and shouldn't do anything what they didn't"? I think there is Hadith where Rasool Allah(SAW) mentioned about people who comes later have arrange emaan that they will love Him(SAW) without being blessed with the deedar of Him(SAW)

[@123STiNG321]

It is ok because the prophet told us (Upon you is my Sunnah, and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Khalifs after me. And bite onto it with the molar teeth.) brother, you haven't told me who were the Saudi ulama who allowed it. mawlid is bidaah and if you want really show your love to the prophet pbuh. then show your love by following his sunnah.Read Quran and sunnah and what the real ulama said then u will realize that mawlid celebration has nothing to do with Islam. May Allah guide us.

[@123STiNG321]

Saudi ulama don't agree with celebrating the anniversary cuz it is beddi3ah same as celebrating the mawlaid of the prophet. Hamza Yusf thinks that the one who said celebrate r the ullamah which's totally wrong. All in All i can tell that he hates saudi and he is trying to spread that somehow.........So easy think abt it like that the sahabah and tabeen loved the prophet more than us then why they didn't celebrate the mawild of the prophet. did the prophet celebrate his birthday

[@abdurrazzak305]

As i mentioned both are unislamic.You have to realise that the scholars do speak against nationalism,and the other evils as well.Its he general pop who practice it.They speak against mawlid as well as nationalism.

[@peguamabdullah]

Salam, even last century people celebrating Maulid in Arabia. Of course Saudi Embassy shaikhs say bid'ah. Surely there is a difference of opinion. It is utter rubbish to deny the differences.Even Taymiyah who rejects Mawlid said those who do it for love of Rasullulah gets its due rewards. Pls check.

[@morningdew9]

where did this talk take place? Con Hall uoft?

[@123STiNG321]

who are the saudi ulama who said it is allowed?? and what are the strong proofs? I have never heard any sahabi who loved the prophet more than we do celebrate his maowlid. jazak Allah khair

[@amirtimur3639]

For sahaba every monday was mawlid.that was the day they fasted as prophet was born.

[@muhamedrahmn4752]

SubhanAllah we have so many great scholars commenting and wasting their energy on this.. If you people was wise you would use that energy and effort to get close to Allah. Some if you are so arrogant and through your ignorance you are dedicating jahannam to your muslim brothers and you talk about knowledge?🤔🤔🤔 May Allah guide and protect us from our own wrongs Ameen

[@wifechadly]

to 123sting Bilal (radeya Allah 3alayh) invented 2 rakaat after he makes wudu.

[@123STiNG321]

I don't know why u got excited. I mentioned to you the hadith of the prayer after the ablution. The Prophet he is the only one who can say this is right and this is wrong. So, now you can't come and invent something in religion and say it is ok. For example (athan). I'm gonna make abultion and pray 30 rakah without stoping for the reason that i want to get closer to Allah> is this sunnah or bidah ? ONCE AGAIN RELIGION COMES FROM QURAN AND SUNNAH. look for the definition of Sunnah

[@truth1000ish]

He say's "in a country that make's war on the mawlid", How does Saudi Arabia make war on the mawlid?Sheihk Taymiyyah & Ibn Kathir called the mawlid a bid'ah but you don't need to be a scholar to work it out that it is a bid'ah but some people want to follow their desire's instead of the prophet Muhammed salollo alai wasalam.The prophet Muhammed salollo alai wasalam never did it.

[@ismaaaciil]

the most laziest people in the side of Ibadah i see in my life, are those who claim that they love beloved Mohamed scw.they make one ceremony in each year, they eat,drink,dance and make so many words that are difficult to understand in all night long.and if you observe closely they miss the morning prayer: the salah Fajri!

[@EhtYlno]

Absolutely correct. In fact, these people do not pray even a single salaah! Yet they claim to love the Prophet (peace be upon him)!

[@IcarusGX3]

Saad Zahid ismail haydoff you base the ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah on a few people. Going by this logic its alright to call Islam a terrorist religion because of the extremist in our religion, May Allah have mercy on your souls and everyone elses. Ameen.

[@ismaaaciil]

IcarusGX3 do not be a coward.if you follow the path of our beloved mohamed correctly,you are condemned,but you are the winner in this world and that of hereafter. do not you realize that the prophet Mohamed scw,and other prophets of Allah were not welcomed in their society and they were mocked!.their were called liars,anti social by accusint them that they are dividing people:son is Muslim and father non-Muslim,wife is Muslim and huspond is non muslim......this is nature of faith.......take care.

[@IcarusGX3]

ismail haydoff​ I do not see the point in carrying on discussing when you clearly don't understand what I'm saying. May Allah keep us all on the straight path.

[@yali6422]

Ismail hayoff. I'm part of them. The people you r talking about n alhamdulillah I never drink alcohol and I pray 5 times a day even at my school. My point here is don't judge people u know nothing of. sh. Hamza yusuf is trying to unite Muslims. So please do not misguide people. Thank u

[@irshadtarsoo7734]

Mawlid and national day are both haraam because muslims were given only 2 celebrations by rasoolullah (peace be upon him) which is eid-ul-fitr and Eid-ul-adha, when some of the companions celebrated other festivals, rasoolullah (peace be upon him) forbade them to do it thus proving that mawlid and celebrating national day is haraam

[@SayemTabla]

This sheikh has mixed different elements of deviated sects of Islam. The concept of Milad Un Nabi is innovation and wrong.

[@ramadanbaftiyar8318]

This brother is not a scholar .listen to a talk by the greatest scholar of the last century sheikh Albani who explains in detail that malwid is a complete bidah.the prophet Muhammad saw didn't tell us to celebrate it nor did the companis

[@123STiNG321]

last think I want to say....You only talked about the sahaba but what about the generation of tabeen and the ones after them? they didn't celebrate the mawlid neither. My brother u only celebrate one day to show the love of the Prophet. why don't you celebrate everyday by following the sunnah and talk about the Prophet pbuh. May Allah guide us all yarb

[@truth1000ish]

the prophet Muhammed salallo alai wassalam said forbid the evil & encourage the good, mawlid is bid'ah & bid'ah is evil, true scholar's like Sheihk Taymiyyah & Ibn Kathir called the mawlid a bid'ah, bid'ah changes the religion of islam just like the christian's celebrate isa(jesus's) alai wa salam & changed their religion many way's.there are many hadith's that prove that bid'ah lead's you to the hellfire.
