I am sorry to annoy u.... Really really sorry... But i am CONFUSED AGAIN!

same 'ere ._. mnmz is ryt na! we've been fed 12th rabi ul awwal as the Prophet's(s.A.W) birthday since FOREVER :S

Oho... Y confused?? :Q did u read the posts in the thread, I hav attached the link in the comments above... Read 2nd post onwards, even if then it's not clear then u can come to me, I'll try to explain inshaAllah

Not that i've been FED that it is his birthday... There definitey is a conflict in that b/w the scholars.... But ... But... It's just that i am confused again!!

Okay.. I'll read it!

"we've been fed... since FOREVER" <--- see that's actual problem! U have been fed stuff n u have accepted it as it is... Ever tried looking up??
See there are two opinions of scholars on the birth of Holy Prophet (SAWS) n the more correct one is that he was born on the 9th Rabi ul Awwal!

^ indeed it is , cuz hmesha se islamiat teachers have said 12th 12th 12th -. - tbh i heard this different dates thin today for the first time ever.

Further more, we shouldn't be concerned with dates much as they don't play a very significant role... Can we claim that we love prophet more than Sahaba did?? Of course not!they never celebrated the b'day of the prophet so y should we?? We can't introduce anything new in the religion, as it a bidah!!

^ exactly but birthday celebrations to nhi hotin :S but i hav heard some naats today that make me go O__o

The source you got is not reliable. Plus we have not been fed anything. It was one the miraculous things that he was born and died on the12th. You need to get your sources straight before spreading anything else.

@inno acha so ur Islamiyat teacher is the standard of authenticity? :P
Look up in authentic books such as Ar Raheeq ul Makhtoom!
U r missing the actual point here, we are not concerned with dates, be it 9th or 12th, we can't introduce anything new in our Deen it was completed back at the of prophet(SAWS)!!
badrobot14 I m sorry for the alerts!

The *time of

Okay... I got the hang of it! As long as we do it on random days, it's all fine!!
But u said that the Sahabas never did.... They always dicussed about Prophet S.A.W.W. when the met up!! Isn't it kinda same??

Yes Sahabas never gathered together to do the kind of milads we have...! They never sat together n said c'mon let's celebrate the b'day of RASOOLALLAH (SAWS)...
They were not like us passing empty slogans of being Aashik e Rasool!! They actually proved it by their action!!
It's true that they used to sit together n discuss abt RasoolAllah n his sayings in the halaqas...
These are two diff things u see...

u guys didn't need yo argue so much.... in my defence of why I said today is not his birthday, I'd like to present a piece of research:

^by Sh. Yasi Qadhi, graduate of madinah uni.. masters in Aqeedah:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ammaar_Yasir_Qadhi
he quotes reliable scholars too.

Maybe we didn't need to argue, but it atleat removed my doubts :D thanks for sharing and sorry for alerts :P
N.M thanks for explaining!!

u cant just put up one article against smthing thts been known for centuries. an article by a "graduate" any fatwa's by notable scholars please..?

he is not some graduate..! he is well known n well versed.. has more than a DOZEN Ijazas for hadith goin back to prophet S.A.W!!
but sure, fatawas are there too:

^ there are tonnes of these...

k

any reference to it not being in rabee ul awal in there..? cant find any such....

who said abt rabiul awwal.. it said TODAY..coz stronger evidence is for other dates.. as ibn Katheer Rahmahullah and even the famous book Raheeq AlMaakhtoom of Mubarakpoori uncle favours..!
