Milaad
(M. Furqan Khan, Karachi)
In the Islamic calendar, the
12th day of Rabi-al-Awwal known to be the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him).
There is a difference of opinion about whether the Milad Un-Nabi should be a
time of celebration.
There is evidence that the Prophet, his Companions, and the early followers
after them did not celebrate or otherwise observe his birthday.
On the contrary, Muhammad was careful to warn his people not to imitate other
faiths, whose followers elevated their prophets and added to the religion what
was not in the original teachings.
ALLAH Knows well.
