Every Rabi ul Awwal, we see a useless debate on Milad un Nabi...one side taking an extreme Saudi position that this is haram and bidaat and must not be celebrated. On the other hand, we also see another extreme position where people celebrating the Milad un Nabi (sm) adopt many unIslamic and shallow practices and turn this sacred occasion into a fun carnival, astaghfurullah.
Here we present you a very interesting view from a Saudi Scholar, who is a member of their Deewan -- national council -- highest body in the Kingdom....it is interesting that this view has come from someone who is part of Grand National council of Ulama....
He says that "NOT every gathering of Milad is wrong....in fact most of them are "amaal e Saleha"... or deeds of great ajr... and "afzal ul Amaal" as sunnah or Propeht (sm) is taught and Naat is recited to glorify the virtues of Rasul Allah (sm).."
MashAllah, this is a moderate balancing position to satisfy all sides..
Those who follow the Saudi school of thought should calm down now..
I have been told that this year, even Saudi Govt has allowed Milad gatherings on Jabal ul Uhud...! This needs to be seen though..
Jazak Allah to all of you... stay calm and do not adopt the position of Takfeeris and kharjis by calling each other Kafirs or Biddatis on this sensitive sacred issue.
