	Mawlid
		Mawlid, meaning 'birthday' is a celebration of a holy person in Islam.
		Mawlidu n-Nabiy is not based on either the Koran or on Sunna, but took the shape of religious celebrations in the Middle East and Egypt, where revering individual religious leaders for their mediating position in between man and the divine world, seems to have been common for centuries.
		Mawlid does not seem to have been performed in the first two centuries of Islam, and in the years up until around 1200, only political and religious leaders revered this day, according to the sources.

	Mawlid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mawlid, Mawlid an-Nabi or Milad al-Nabi (Arabic: مولد، مولد النبي، ميلاد النبي‎) is the celebration of the birthday of Muhammad, the final prophet of Islam; also known as "The Seal of the Prophets".
		Wahhabis who are against this celebration, claim that the celebration of Mawlid an-Nabi was first observed around 10th century CE by the Fatimids and an innovation not practiced by the Prophet himself, his companions or amongst the earlier generations of muslims (see bidah).
		While Mawlid is on 17th of Rabi'-ul-Awwal in the Islamic calendar, the date on the Western calendar (the Gregorian calendar) varies from year to year due to differences between the two calendars, since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar.

	Mawlid Al Nabi or Ma'uled Al-Nabi (Islamic, Moslem, Muslim) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Mawlid al-Nabi is a celebration of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, founder of Islam.
		Because of the opposition of many citizens of Mecca and threats against him, Muhammad fled to Yathrib in A. This journey of nearly 200 miles is known as the Hegira and is so important that the Muslim calendar begins with the year of the Hegira.
		The Mawlid al-Nabi was first observed around the thirteenth century and was preceded by a month of celebration.

	Mawlid is not 'misguided innovation'
		A fundamental argument that is placed against the mawlid is that it is a bid'a - an innovation, and according to the hadith, 'every innovation is misguidance' - critics argue that this also includes the mawlid.
		Al-Suyuti retorts to the accusation of the mawlid being prohibited on the grounds that 'according to the consensus of the Muslims innovations in religion is not permitted,' that:
		Likewise, we state that the meeting at which the mawlid is performed, in priciple has to be regarded as a meritorious act, but that things which have been added to it, are blameworthy and prohibited.

	Who Really Loves the Messenger ? (In the light of Mawlid Celebrations)
		Celebrating Mawlid (the Prophet's assumed birthday) has no origin from the Book and Sunnah, rather it is an innovation from the one, who was known for making additions and exaggerations in the Religion.
		If Mawlid was an expression of love or an act of drawing closer to Allah, then he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) would have certainly guided his Companions (radhi allahu anhu) to it.
		In contrast, Mawlid is celebrated more like Carnivals, with processions, music, free-mixing of sexes, chanting slogans, parading on camels with Arabian costumes, etc. It does not bear resemblance to the manner in which significant days are commemorated in Islam.

	Commorating Mawlid
		We say that celebrating the Mawlid of the Prophet is acceptable, that to make gatherings for the hearing of his Sira (Life) and listening to Madh (Praise) that has been written for him is acceptable, and that giving food to people and bringing happiness to the Umma on that occasion is acceptable.
		We say that the celebration of the Prophet's Mawlid must not only be on the 12th of Rabi` al-Awwal, but can and should be on every day of every month in every mosque, in order for people to feel the light of Islam and the light of Shari`a in their hearts.
		This shows that the hadith of the Prophet on the return of his soul takes into consideration the continuity of prayer concomitant with the revolving five times of prayer around the world, and that indeed he is alive in permanence, since Allah has entitled him to return every single salam that is made to him.

		Celebrating the Mawlid is an innovation introduced by the Shi’a Faatimids after the three best centuries in order to corrupt the religion of the Muslims.
		In all of these ways (the Muslim) remembers him and the reward equivalent to the reward of the one who does that action goes back to the Prophet [an error occurred while processing this directive] (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

	Mawlid According to the Salafi 'Ulama
		Unfortunately, when the celebration of Mawlid is proposed in many mosques and Islamic Centers in the west, and especially in the U.S. and Canada, we find a small but vocal group opposed to this practice, even though its permissibility is well-established.
		It goes by many names, but the concept is the same: to show our love, respect and praise to our Lord for sending our beloved Prophet (s) to us and to all creation on that day, the day of his birth (s).
		Mawlid is known as Mevlud in Turkey, Albania, Greece, Bosnia (where its celebration is an important festival).

		One might ask, "How is Mawlid part of the Sunna?" But recall the day of freedom and independence of Bani Israil, the 10th of Muharram, the day on which Sayiddina Musa saved his people from the bondage of Pharoah, who drowned.
		Muslim narrated that, "Abi Qatada (r) said that the Prophet (saws) was asked about fasting on Monday and he said ‘That was the day I was born.’" This hadith is clear evidence of the importance of the commemoration of the Prophet’s (s) birthday through worship.
		No one has ever condemned fundraising dinners as a reprehensible innovation, although it is a newly-developed form of worship and an encouragement for worship (donation, sadaqa), without precedent in the life of the Prophet (saws), his Companions, or the pious predecessors.

		The tradition to celebrate the Mawlid can go on as long as its aim is to remind the people of the way of life brought by the Prophet Muhammad from Allah the Almighty.

		We all know that the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not celebrate the Prophet's birthday, Hijrah or the Battle of Badr, because they witnessed such events during the lifetime of the Prophet who always remained in their hearts and minds.
		Thus according to the definition of Bid'ah by Shafi, Mawlid celebrations are condemnable innovations since the Prophet never celebrated his birthday.

		These publications claim that to celebrate the Mawlid is an act of innovation that goes against Islam.
		This is far from the truth, and it is therefore necessary for those who can speak clearly to help clarify and reverse the doubts surrounding this most blessed day.
		Those opposed to Mawlid cite this saying and hold that the word every (kul) is a term of generalization, including all types of innovations, with no exception, and that therefore, celebrating Mawlid is misguidance.

		The ruling of the Mawlid is not as some confused individuals have claimed; that this practice is an evil innovation.
		Those misleading people do not have any evidence or proof for their claim, all what they repeat is that the Prophet never did it.
		However there are many things in our lives which they themselves are doing it which the Prophet peace be upon him never did; including the construction of Maharib (prayer niches) in Mosques, and the placement of the dots under and above some of the Arabic letters of the Mushaf.
