Loving the Final Messenger of Allah (pbuh)
By Shaykh Omar Subedar
Claiming to love a person is very easy however proving that love can sometimes be a challenge. Today, as Muslims, it is very easy for us to declare our love for the Prophet pbuh yet this declaration is sometimes put to question when analyzing our way of life and our daily practices. When we observe a total contradiction between our lifestyle and the lifestyle of Allah’s final Messenger we should ask ourselves: Am I really true to my word? Is love just expressed by fixing a day to celebrate the birthday of the beloved, sing a few songs in his praise and discuss a couple of events in his life or is there more to it? The worldly renowned scholar, Qadhi Iyaadh writes in his acclaimed book ‘Ash- Shifa’:
Celebrating the Birth and Life of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم
By Shaykh Omar Subedar
Approximately 1450 years ago humanity was in complete lost. Man had adopted a route in life which Allah had not approved of. Communities, such as the ‘People of the Scripture’ where being misled by their leaders, who were entrusted with the responsibility of guiding the community by safeguarding the divine texts and disclosing it to them in its entirety. Instead they distorted its teachings and the teachings of their Prophets and beguiled the public into believing in whatever corrupt concepts they fabricated. All of this they did for the sake of monetary gain and protecting the hierarchal system they had established. A lengthy era had passed in which no Prophet was sent by the Almighty for the guidance of mankind. Finally, 570 years after Allah’s [sent] spirit and word, Ësä ibn Maryam عليه السلام had ascended to the heavens, Allah blessed humanity once again for the final time by sending a man who He has described as; a witness, a bringer of good tidings, a Warner, one who invites to Allah by His permission, and an illuminating lamp [33:45].
The Ruling on 'Mawlid' Gatherings
Answered by Shaykh Omar Subedar
Question:
What is the ruling on Mawlid? Is it permissible to take part in such gatherings in which the burda will be sung? Where did the burda originate? And I’ve often seen that people stand up at certain points to show respect to the prophet. Is this allowed?
