Maulid Nabi, bagaimana?

Rabia Awwal Mubaarak! It is the third month of the Hijri Calendar which in many Muslims celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) believing it to have occurred on the 12th of this month. However, the truth is that his actual date of birth is unknown just as the date of birth of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is unknown. Furthermore, its celebration is an innovation in Islamic worship as it was not instructed by the Prophet (pbuh) nor was it done by his companions. Even the celebration of birthdays in general is not permissible because of its pagan roots. As a result even the early Christians did not celebrate Christ’s birth because they considered the celebration of anyone’s birth to be a pagan custom.
So instead, let us apply the lessons learned from the life of the Prophet (pbuh) and increase our efforts to spread the true religion of God in this month, while keeping alive the Ramadaan lesson of making fasting truly a way of life by also fasting Mondays and Thursdays of every week, and the 13th, 14th & 15th – according to the recommendations of the Prophet (pbuh). It is worth noting that when the Prophet (pbuh) was asked why he fasted Mondays, he replied that it was the day on which he was born!!! So, for those bent on commemorating the Prophet’s birth, let them do as he did and FAST EVERY MONDAY!!! Dr. Bilal Philips

ikuti sunnahnya, bukan perayaan-perayaan yang tidak pernah dicontohkan Nabi Muhammad shalallahu 'alaihi wa sallam..
Rasulullah sekalipun tidak pernah mencontohkan/merayakan hari lahirnya..

baca deh kata2 dr Dr. Bilal Philips di atas dan think smart! 😊😊
ya think smart, cari tahu ilmunya.. karena selama ini kita hanya mengikuti budaya. bukan dalil.

dulu pas saya baru tahu bahwa maulid nabi tidak pernah dicontohkan oleh Rasulullah shalalllahu 'alaihi wa sallam dan para sahabat radhiyallahu 'anhum ajma'iin hal yang saya lakukan adalah mencari tahu kenapa begitu, mencari dalil yang sahih, mencari tahu sejarahnya dan bertanya kepada yang lebih paham tentang ilmu agama ini. dan akal sehat pasti akan selalu memilih dan condong pada kebenaran. akhirnya saya tahu dan yakin bahwa maulid nabi adalah suatu perkara yang diada-adakan dalam agama, bukan ber-ittiba (mengikuti) Rasullulllah..

dan barang siapa yang mengada-adakan suatu yang baru dalam perkara agama maka amalan itu tertolak.

cara mencintai nabi adalah dengan mengikuti sunnah-sunnahnya dan mentaatinya dari segala hal yang beliau perintahkan. bukan merayakan kelahirannya.
