Honouring the birthdays of Prophets and righteous people as holidays and celebrating them. They perform deeds they claim will bring them closer to Allaah, especially on the day or the night of the birthday or even in that month.


There are many other such things, too numerous to mention, be they innovations or superstitions for which Allaah has revelaed no sanction and which have not been confirmed by the Sunnah of Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).

well.......in Many Muslim countries........Prophet Muhammed's (pbuh) birthday is still celebrated.........i never knew that...untill some months earlier.



So If ppl do celebrate it.........they say that 'we do it to honour the Prophet Muhammed & there's no wrong init


I know that in Sunnah there's no such thing as that......But if we just celebrate it to be happy that on the specified day our Last Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) was born. I think this isn't any 'sin' by doing so


Unless there's a saying in Quran or Sunnah about celebrating B-days !

No smile on this one Ya Shereen, more like , be careful of the shaitan sister, don't let him fool you with such thinking, instead follow the fatwas as they are authenticate.

Question: Is celebrating the Prophet's birthday halaal or haraam?



Response: Establishing the celebration of the Prophet's birthday or (the birthday of) other than him is an innovation. And it has been confirmed on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he said:


((Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, will have it rejected)), [saheeh al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh Muslim/1718].


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

How can one actualise one's love for the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)


*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*


Question: How can one actualise (their) love for the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)?



Response: Love of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and love of Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) is actualised by following the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), and everyone who follows the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) is more eligible for the love of Allaah and the love of His Messenger. Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:


{Say: "If you (really) love Allaah then follow me (Muhammad), Allaah will love you}, [soorah Aal-'Imraan, Aayah 31].


And the sign of the love of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) is that a person inquires about his sunnah and then follows it and does not add nor take anything away from that. Based upon this, then those who innovate in anything related to the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and state that this is from their love and honouring of him (the Prophet) then in reality they do not love him and nor honour him. And that is because true love and honouring of him is to follow his sayings and not to add to his Sharee'ah and nor to take away from it.


And indeed whoever desires to innovate in the Sharee'ah of Allaah that which is not from it, then his love of Allaah and His Messenger is limited without doubt, because completeness of manners and honouring is not to extend oneself before Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) said:


{O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allaah and His Messenger, and fear Allaah. Verily! Allaah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk as you speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds may be rendered fruitless while you perceive not}, [soorah al-Hujuraat, Aayahs 1 and 2].

Question: What is the ruling regarding celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) in the month of Rabee' al-Awwal in honour of him (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)?



Response: Honouring the Prophet and respecting him is by: Believing in all that he came with from Allaah, and following his Sharee'ah and 'aqeedah verbally, actively and in character, and leaving off innovation in the religion, and from innovation in the religion is celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Ruling regarding celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)


*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*


Question: What is the ruling regarding celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), and does the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) attend (physically or spiritually)?



Response: Respecting the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and honouring him is by believing in his missionand acting according to what he came with from Allaah. As for celebrating his birthday then it is an innovation, and it has been confirmed on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he said:


((Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, will have it rejected)), [saheeh al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh Muslim/1718].


And it is not confirmed that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) attends/visits (after his death) anyone from amongst the people, and the principle (of this) is that this does not occur, therefore it is obligatory to remain upon this until (athenticated) evidence suggests otherwise.


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Question: Is gathering (the people) on the 12th day of Rabee' al-Awwal in remembrance of the birth of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) permissible?



Response: Celebrating the birthday of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) is an innovation; this is because he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) did not do this himself and nor did he order this to be done, and nor did any of his companions (radhi-yallaahu 'anhum) do this, and they were the most adherent of people in honouring the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and following his Sunnah. And all good is in following his guidance, and he (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:


((Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, will have it rejected)), [saheeh al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh Muslim/1718].


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Ruling regarding celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)


*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*


Question: What is the ruling regarding gathering the people (on the occasion) for the birthday (of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)) whilst they insist that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) attends their sitting? And is this gathering Islaamically correct, and what is befitting for us to do on the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), and when was he born, on which day, month, and year? And is the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) alive in his grave now or not?



Response: Gathering the people on the night of the birthday and the reading of his life story is not legislated, rather it is an innovation. And their insisting that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) attends their sitting is a lie, and the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) being alive in his grave is the life of barzakhiyyah enjoying the bliss and comfort of paradise, and not like his life in this world, since he died and was washed and covered in the burial shroud and the funeral prayer was performed over him and he was buried like others (are).


And he will be the first who shall rise from his grave on the Day of Resurrection, and Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) has said, addressing him:


{Verily, you will die and verily, they will die. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be disputing before your Lord}, [soorah az-Zumar, Aayahs 30 and 31].


And He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) said:


{After that, surely, you will die. Then, surely you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection}, [soorah al-Mu.minoon, Aayahs 15 and 16].


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Question: Is it permissible to participate in celebrating the remembrance of al-Mi'raaj (the ascending of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) to the heavens)?



Response: It is not permissible to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet, and nor al-Mi'raaj and nor participate in that, because it is an innovation in the religion. And it has been authenticated on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he said:


((Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, will have it rejected)), [saheeh al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh Muslim/1718].


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*


Question: Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), gathering people together and talking about the life of the Messenger and performing the salaah and finding out about the attributes of the Messenger and openly sending salutations to him.



Response: Establishing celebrating the occasion of his (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) birthday is not permissible, due to it being an innovation, (something) which the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and nor his rightly-guided Khulafaa. did, and nor other than them from the scholars of the chosen first three generations.


And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
