Celebrating Birthdays - Star - 08-13-2004 As Salam alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuhu..... Iv not been on islammassage for a while, but as i logged on i see we have a new section on who is celebrating there birthday today. This brought me to think........ from my understanding we as muslims should not celebrate our birthday as the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) never used to celebrate his birthday, infact he used to fast on his birthday, so we as muslims should follow the sunnah. He Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was asked about fasting on Monday, he said: That is the day i was born and the day (the first Revelation) was send down on me. (Muslim) This hadith to me shows we are alloud to acknowledge that it is ones birthday, but i have come across nothing to say we are alloud to celebrate it. Please correct me if im wrong...this is to my knowledge and open to discussion, if it has not been discussed already on this forum. Salam.
