I mean by social occaisons"any occasion celebrated by all the society at the same time


like mother`s day",I may be used wrong expression but that what I mean.


I think that celebrating the memories of our good times(like birth and wedding)or


celebrating our good values(like loving and thanking to our mothers)is a type of our


thanking to Allah for what he gave to us.


I understand that contradiction the Mushrekeen means not to do anything make us look


like we are Mushrekeen,but it is not mean not to do any thing they do.


You said that our beloved prophet salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam never celebrated his


own birthday in the manner that is taking place currently. But rather he used to fast Mon


and Thus of every week. When he was asked why, he said Mon is the day on which I was


born and I like to thank Allah, and Thus is a day on which deeds are taking up to Allah and


I like that my deeds to be takien up while i m fasting.


Thus, he used to fast every Mon in gratitude to Allah, not have a cake and presents from people.


Is`nt mean that He(pbuh)celebrated his birthday,but in a different manner as you say.I


think we can celebrated like our prophet,but adding some permissible actions like cutting


cakes and giving some gifts to each other is not wrong.


You know that there are some clear rules in Islam we must accepted and make no


difference between us in understanding to these rules,but there are others even the


scholars have different understanding to it and this is a typo of Allah mercy.


Thanks to Allah that we are in difference in one of the others.
