📖 Scholarly Position On Mawlid
Many great scholars of Islam have spoken on the permissibility and goodness of celebrating the Mawlid:
• Imam al-Suyuti: considered it a “good innovation” (bid‘ah hasanah) for which Muslims are rewarded.
• Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani: said that if the good aspects are observed and the wrong avoided, it is a praiseworthy innovation.
• Abu Shama al-Maqdisi (teacher of Imam al-Nawawi): praised it as an expression of love and reverence for the Prophet ﷺ.
• Ibn Taymiyyah, despite his strictness on innovations, affirmed in Iqtida’ al-Sirat al-Mustaqim that those who celebrate the Mawlid with sincere love for the Prophet ﷺ “may have a great reward.”
• Ibn al-Qayyim highlighted that rejoicing over the Prophet’s birth ﷺ is greater than rejoicing over any victory or conquest.
• Contemporary scholars like Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi also confirmed that the Mawlid is a legitimate expression of love for the Messenger ﷺ when free of prohibitions.
➡️ Conclusion: The celebration of Mawlid, when practiced in a lawful manner, is a valid and praiseworthy act rooted in love and reverence for the Prophet ﷺ — recognized by scholars of Sunnah and the path of Tasawwuf.
We ask Allah to make this blessed occasion a source of goodness, victory, and empowerment for the Muslim Ummah, to fill our hearts with love for His Noble Messenger ﷺ, and to grant us his intercession on the Day of Judgment.
🌹 Wishing you all a blessed Mawlid. May your days be filled with faith, peace, and light.
