Celebrating the Birthday of the Prophet is a Bid’ah By Ammaar Saeed

Celebrating the Birthday of the Prophet is a Bid’ah

Celebrating the Birthday of the Prophet is a Bid’ah, proved by history and authentic sources. Whatever form it takes and whatever the intentions of those who do this are, there is no doubt whatsoever that it is an invented, Haram innovation which was introduced by the Shia Fatimids after the three best centuries of Islam, in order to corrupt the religion of the Muslims. The next person to do this after them and re-introduce it was King Al-Mudhaffar Abu Saeed Kawkaboori, the king of Irbil, at the end of the sixth century or the beginning of the seventh century AH, as was mentioned by the historians such as Ibn Khalkaan, may Allaah have mercy upon him, and others.
