Adil Najam
Today is 12 Rabi-ul-Awal – and Eid Milad-un-Nabi – marking the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
I sit at the airport in New York awaiting my PIA flight to Lahore to be announced, knowing that the whole country will be decked up and glowing for the occasion. Cannot wait to be part of the festivities. On this, the birthday of the Rehmatulil Aalameen, I pray and wish for rehmat not only for the Prophet’s believers in Pakistan, but for all people in Aalameen. It seems to me that to personalize His (PBUH) rehmat as if it were only for the few who we think “got” the message right, is – it seems to me – to miss the entire message itself.
So, today, on this Eid Milad-un-Nabi, I pray in the name of the Rehmatulil Aalameen (PBUH) for rehmat for all aalameen, and for all people everywhere. May they – may we – be all blessed with peace.
To me part of the memories of Eid Milad-un-Nabi in Pakistan was always the amazingly powerful devotional poetry of the naat – and none better than from Muzaffar Warsi, who died recently. It is apt, then, to share one of his most famous naats on this auspicious day.
Send them to the qualified females teachers who dont preach violence and aware of personal physical
Yeah and then you keep ‘visiting’ those teachers in the name of your kids to keep your eyes warm so that you can praise ‘creatures’ of God. Right Shahidunnisa?
Madrassahas don’t need residue either so don’t worry your kids are not required at all
Quit sending your children to mullahs and mulanas, I know I would nt. Send them to the qualified females teachers who dont preach violence and aware of personal physical & verbal abuse and the second class, goat chained to the wall like treatment that they have to face on daily basis.
Mullahs are the ‘curse’ on Pakistan.
Cannot wait to be part of the festivities. On this, the birthday of the Rehmatulil Aalameen, I pray and wish for rehmat not only for the Prophet’s believers in Pakistan, but for all people in Aalameen.
These lines are enough to tell why Pakistan is being ruined more by Parhe Likhe Jahil then genuine one. So, Did you buy some cake,Choco or Vanilla one to show your “love” for Prophet(saw)?
So, do all Barelvis or wannabe believe they are holier than 1st generation of Muslims who were the companions of Prophet(Saw)?
Can any “Lover” of Prophet(saw) show one reference when Sahabas(saw) and their followers “celebrate” Milad Festival in order to celebrate “Birth Day” of Muhammad(Saw)?
Did Imam Hanifa,Imam Hanbal,Imam Shafai,Hanbal or Jaffar Sadiq celebrate the birth anniversary of Prophet(saw)?
Do these “Moderate” Radicals claim they care and love Muhammad more than the Companions and 2nd generation of Muslims? If Yes then what kind of idiotic definition of LOVE they follow? LOVE is all about doing what MEHBOOB says. Imagine what your mother orders you and you go opposite of it and yet you shout out in public that “I love my Mom” and sings songs for her, wear new clothes and throw party. Are you going to make her happy? Offcourse not because you did not obey her orders.
So these lovers are claiming they love Prophet more than Prophet companions for them Allah said,”They agree with me and I agree with them”. They are guaranteed to go in Heaven and these exhibits are not even sure they would go in Paradise or in hell.
Those who are celebrating Muhammad’s Birthday, Did they offer Fajar Salat? Do they offer Namaz ba Jamat in Masjid? “Rahamatul Aleemeen” says, “Trim mustaches and grow your beard”. Do these Muhammad lovers do that? Do they offer daily prayers?
Bhai ye tum topi drama kis ko Fool Banana k Liya karhe ho? You can’t fool God, you re fooling out to yourself. Distributing few grams of Mitahai, Playing high volume Naats and installing green light and flags is not going to send your Love to Prophet. This is all of your childishness to compete with Shias.
Sorry for typo mistake in the name of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at one place. May Allah forgive us all.
Adil Najam should be appreciated for celebrating Mawlid un Nabi on the blog. But some people have dragged this beautiful day into controversial arena. As expected in my previous post, they have made it a place to score points on Mullahism. what a closed mindset. :S
Even if we have to discuss the USWAA of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the context of v-day, can anybody justify the way this is (supposed to be) celebrated in the light of Prophet’s teachings???I mean did Muhamma (PBUH) preach what v-day is all about or did he abolish such things???
Everyone knows what Arab society was before Islam. By encouraging unlawful, immoral and extramarital relations (as per every definition of any civilized society), do proponents of v-day want to take us back to the same period of Jaahiliat?
Islam promotes mercy and love but within the paradigm of societal values. ‘Love to your wife’ was mentioned in the Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and mentioned as an order but on the condition of her being faithful and pious. If she is not, then the treatment is given in Quran, the same book which declares Muhammad (PBUH) “Rehmat-u-lil-aalameen”. Accept the Quran in its entirety otherwise you are merely some weak opportunist.
So rewards and punishment, like every society are inherent in Islam. Why do we expect to have rewards offered by Islam after ignoring the Islamic regulations and protesting against Islamic punishments?
We have numerous example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) expressing care and love for his wives, but just enough to exemplify for his followers, not to make it an open subject of discussion on private life. How many of us (male or female) refrain from discussing the bedroom experiences among our friends???
Open the Quran which says the man and wife are like garments for each other (meaning thereby covering each other). Explore further and it tells you the punishment for illicit sexual relationship. While you dont need any effort to EXPLORE the rewards for the righteous and pious people; its given everywhere in the Holy Book.
I would second Adil that the Mercifulness of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for ALL the people, and not just Muslims, is an undeniable truth. But taking this as a cover for ignoring the clear boundaries set by the Almighty is hypocrisy, misleading, and even bigger a sin than the one it might lead anyone to. I hope this post does not carry such kind of misleading message.
May Allah bless you with a safe and peaceful journey home.
