the Sunnah.

[Seventh Doubt] – Another of their specious arguments is when they say that by celebrating the Mawlid and reading the biography of the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) on this occasion, they are encouraging people to follow his example!

[Refutation] - We say to them that reading the biography of the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and following his example are required of the Muslim all the time, all year long and throughout his life. Singling out a specific day for that with no evidence for doing so is an innovation, and “every innovation is a going astray.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 4/164; al-Tirmidhi, 2676). Bid’ah does not bear any fruit but evil, and it leads to a person distancing himself from the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). In conclusion, celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), whatever form it takes, is a reprehensible innovation. The Muslims should put a stop to this and other kinds of bid’ah, and occupy themselves with reviving and adhering to the Sunnah. They should not be deceived by those who promote and defend this bid’ah, for these types of people are more interested in keeping innovations alive than in reviving the Sunnah; they may not even care about the Sunnah at all. Whoever is like this, it is not permissible to imitate him or follow his example, even if the majority of people are like this. Rather we should follow the example of those who follow the path of the Sunnah, among the righteous Salaf and their followers, even if they are few. Truth is not measured by the men who speak it, rather men are measured by the truth.

The Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever among you lives (for a long time) will see many differences. Upon you is to follow my Sunnah and the sunnah of the rightly-guided khaleefahs who come after me. Hold on to it firmly. Beware of newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 4/126; al-Tirmidhi no. 2676). So the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) explained to us in this hadeeth what we should do when there are differences of opinion, just as he explained that everything that goes against his Sunnah – be it words or deeds – is a bid’ah, and every bid’ah is a going astray.

If we see that there is no basis for celebrating the birthday of the Prophet, whether in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) or in the way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs, then it is one of the newly-invented matters, one of the bid’ahs which lead people astray. This principle is what is implied by this hadeeth and is what is indicated by the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.” [al-Nisaa, ayah 59] Referring to Allaah means referring to His Book, and referring to the Messenger (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) means referring to his Sunnah after he has passed away. The Quraan and Sunnah are the reference point in cases of dispute. Where in the Qur`aan or Sunnah does it indicate that it is prescribed in Islam to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday? Whoever does that or thinks that it is good must repent to Allaah from this and from other kinds of bid’ah.

This is the attitude of the Muslim who is seeking the truth. But whoever is too stubborn and arrogant after proof has been established, then his reckoning will be with his Lord. We ask Allaah to help us adhere to His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) until the Day when we will meet Him. May Allaah grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

DO NOT TAKE INNOVATION/BIDDAH LIGHTLY ❗️

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Some of my companions will come to me at Al-Ḥauḍ (Al-Kauthar) and after I recognize them, they will then be taken away from me, where upon I will say: 'My companions!'

Then it will be said: 'You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you.'"

📚: Sahih Bukhari 6582

Please Be Careful and keep this hadith in mind In sha Allah. Do not participate or engage yourself in any Biddah.

Most people underestimate how much the people around them silently sculpt their hearts, habits, and even their destiny.

The Prophet ﷺ made it brutally clear with an image that you cannot unsee: your friend is either like a perfume seller or a blacksmith. If he’s like the perfume seller, even if you don’t buy anything, just standing near him leaves you with a fragrance.

If he’s like the blacksmith, even if you don’t touch the fire, the smoke and sparks will cling to you.

This is how companionship works—you absorb it, whether you intend to or not. That means your faith, your morals, your worldview are constantly being shaped by the company you keep.

(Ref : Bukhari 2101)

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

“The similitude of this world is like that of a vessel filled with honey. The flies see this vessel and fly towards it.

Some of them sit on the edge of the vessel and take from the honey until they satisfy their needs, and then they fly away.

Some of them are led by their greed to plunge themselves into the abyss of the honey. Their submersion into the honey prevents them from enjoying it, except for a brief enjoyment, until they perish in the middle of it.”

Comfort for Your Heart:

💡 Surah Al-Kahf teaches us:
Trials and deprivations may serve as barriers, protecting a man from something much worse and more difficult..

▪️Therefore, the damaging of the ship was a (trial) and hardship for the ship's owners and caused fear and anxiety for the passengers. However, this hardship was a shield protecting them from a (greater calamity)—that was the seizure of the ship and the loss of its owners' source of livelihood..

▪️The killing of the boy was a (pain, loss, and a trial) for his parents. Yet, it acted as a barrier for them from an even more severe and intense pain: the torment his rebellion and disbelief would have caused them as he grew older. And how many parents of a disobedient and criminal child have wished for their child's death!

▪️And reflecting on such matters allows the person to perceive some aspects of Allah’s mercy in trials, thereby leading the heart to gratitude, contentment, and tranquility in accepting Allah’s decree and preordainment in every hardship and affliction..

And based upon it, apply this perspective to every trial, deprivation, or delay in your life, whether it relates to marriage, sustenance, employment, delayed parenthood, university acceptance, or anything else. So at times, mercy comes to you through a path of pain..

💡 And a person's firm faith that Allah is more merciful to them than their own parents brings peace, calmness, and satisfaction with Allah سبحانہ وتعالیٰ. And whoever is content with Allah, Allah will be pleased with them and will grant them contentment..

Abū Masʿūd al-Anṣārī (رضي الله عنه) said:
"I was beating a slave of mine when I heard a voice behind me saying: ‘Abū Masʿūd! Know that Allāh has more power over you than you have over this slave.’
I turned around and saw it was the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, I free him for the sake of Allāh.’
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘If you had not done so, the Fire would have burned you.’"

Ungrateful and Blind Following

Many people today live as if there is no tomorrow busy with shirk and bidʿah, blindly following forefathers instead of returning to the Qur’ān and Sunnah. Religion is practiced upon culture and innovations, while the Book of Allāh and the authentic Sunnah are neglected.

The Salaf, like Ibrāhīm an-Nakhaʿī رحمه الله, understood the gravity of the Ākhirah. At his deathbed, he cried, saying: “I await a messenger from Allāh with tidings of Jannah or the Fire… woe to me if Allāh does not forgive me.” Such was their humility and fear of Allāh.

⚠️ Contrast this with today’s heedlessness hearts hardened, days wasted in sin, and no preparation for the grave. Once the soul is taken, regret will not benefit. Families will bury us, and we will wait for the tidings of either Paradise or Hellfire.

👉 Lesson: Wake up before it’s too late. Return to the Qur’ān and Sunnah, abandon shirk and bidʿah, and prepare something for the Day you cannot escape.
Why Don’t We Return to the Two Books?

The Prophet ﷺ strongly emphasised:
"I leave behind two things, if you hold firmly to them you will never go astray: the Book of Allāh and my Sunnah."
[Authentic, reported by Mālik in al-Muwaṭṭaʾ]

Yet despite this clear command, many Muslims today prefer following innovations rather than returning to the Qur’ān and Sunnah. Shayṭān whispers: “This is good, this shows love, this is unity.” But in reality, it is disobedience and a path to misguidance.

⚠️ Just like Pharaoh refused to repent until it was too late, many delay correcting themselves thinking life will continue endlessly. But the truth is, death can come at any moment.

👉 Wake up before it’s too late. Return to the Qur’ān and Sunnah, abandon bidʿah, and realise that the true love of the Prophet ﷺ is to obey his commands not invent new acts of worship.

Allāhu Mustaʿān.
Aʾishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, said to a man, “Don’t leave standing in the night. For indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not leave it. And if he became sick or fatigued, he would pray sitting.”²⁵

One Salaf said: “Standing at night makes easy the long standing of the Day of Judgement. And its people will be foremost entering Paradise without any reckoning. They will (likewise) have rest from long standing awaiting the reckoning.’”

In the Marfūʿ Ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah and Bilāl, the Prophet ﷺ said:

“Cling to making the night prayer. For indeed it is the custom of the righteous people before you. It (indeed) standing at night is nearest to Allah, The Exalted; and an expiation of sins and an eradication of iniquities and it repels sickness from the body.”²⁶

Within this Hadith lies mention that standing at night contributes to the health of the body and repels sickness, just as standing at night expiates sins. It also elevates one in levels. It is mentioned that its people are from the foremost in entering Paradise without any reckoning.

Shaykh Dr. Mohammad bin Ghalib al-Omari (may Allah bless and preserve him) stated :

Dwelling deeply on worries only increases them rather than reducing them. This [in turn] leads to more depression, isolation, and mistakes.

And the first step in treatment of this issue is:

1. Pondering over what you have of Allah's blessings, instead of being preoccupied with other than that.

2. Supplication and seeking forgiveness: It was from the supplication of the Prophet -salla Allahu alaihi wassalam-: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and sorrow“, and supplication is one of the greatest means of alleviating distress and worries.

3. [Having] certainty that every problem has [either] a solution or a reward: If you did not find a solution for your problem, then a believer knows that he is rewarded for his patience.

4. Focusing on the present moment without being burdened by future worries, as the Prophet -salla Allahu alaihi wassalam- said: “Be diligent regarding what benefits you, seek aid from Allah, and do not weaken and give up”.

5. Taking the right and beneficial means, for that is at the core of reliance upon Allah the Almighty.

6. Having good opinions of Allah and that He did not afflict you except with an affair that has good consequences for you. Allah the Almighty says: “I am as my slave thinks of Me”.

7. Looking at those who has been more severely afflicted and are more worried, for that is a beneficial and powerful remedy.

8. Worshipping Allah through patience, for patience has praiseworthy consequences; Allah the Almighty said: “And give glad tidings to the patient“.

9. Seeking the company of those who increase your certainty and reliance upon Allah. The Prophet -salla Allahu alaihi wassalam- said: “The example of the good companion and the bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blacksmith“.

10. Helping those in need, for that is one of the greatest means to alleviate sorrow and worries. The Prophet -salla Allahu alaihi wassalam- said: “The most beloved people to Allah are those who benefit others the most, and the most beloved of actions to Allah is bringing joy to a Muslim.“

Buying a house on mortgage may look like success…

but Allah clearly says, “Allah has permitted trade and forbidden riba” (Qur’an 2:275)

And the Prophet ﷺ warned that riba brings curse upon everyone involved (Muslim 1598)

Yes, you might get your dream home today…

but is it worth holding a sword in front of Allah on Judgement day?

A house built on riba carries no barakah, only burden…

Worldly comfort cannot outweigh eternal loss.

Better to wait, rent, or choose halal alternatives…

because in the akhirah, this sacrifice will be worth it!

Follow for more such advice and reminders.

Anas narrated, The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people."
