The earliest known origins of the Maulid celebration

- Originated during the Fatimid Caliphate
- They are the followers the Sevener Branch of Shi'ite Islam, also known as 'Ismailism'.
- It was this dynasty that first initiated the celebration of the mawlid.
- The maulid instituted by Umar al-Mulla, the first in Sunni lands, involved singing poems in praise of the Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and nothing more than this.
- The person who initiated it, Umar al-Mulla, was a venerated Sufi ascetic, and not a scholar of the religion.

Writer's note

My own leanings, which I have never shied away from expressing, are the same as those of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728) that he mentioned in his work Iqtiḍā Sirāt al-mustaqīm: that the general ruling is that such a celebration is not a part of the religion, but was added by later generations, and hence should be avoided; but it is possible that some groups of people who practice it out of ignorance will be rewarded due to their good intentions. The mawlid of the Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam should be celebrated every day, by following his Sunnah and doing in our daily lives what he salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam wanted us to do.

I also stress that even if I disapprove of a public celebration of the mawlid, not all mawlids are the same, and if the only matter that is done on a mawlid is to praise the beloved Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam in an appropriate manner, and mention aspects of his sirah, and thank Allāh for blessing us to be of his Ummah, then this type of celebration is permissible, in fact praiseworthy, on any day of the year, and hence even if some groups choose one specific day to do it, others should not be harsh in their disapproval of it. I believe that the fatwas given by such esteemed authorities as Ibn Hajr (d. 852) and al-Nawawi (d. 676) legitimizing mawlids refer, in fact, to such 'innocent' mawlids. Sadly, it is well-nigh impossible to find such 'pure' mawlids practiced in our times!

I don't agree with public processions either. I firmly believe any sort of 'celebration' should be held in the mosque involving prayers.

Everyday salawat to Prophet Muhammad. No problemo. Maulidur Rasul? Just another holiday for me.

dia ustazah la

inb4 suicide tered

sape yang paham agama tak berapa suka perarakan maulidur rasul tu. hehe. tak leh cakap banyak nanti kena lebel salafi.

benda kecik2 didahulukan, benda besar2 lagi wajib dilupakan,

Siapakah orang yang pertama menyambut maulid Nabi???

Peringatan Maulid Nabi pertama kali dilakukan oleh raja Irbil (wilayah Iraq sekarang), bernama Muzhaffaruddin al-Kaukabri, pada awal abad ke 7 hijriyah. Ibn Katsir dalam kitab Tarikh berkata:

“Sultan Muzhaffar mengadakan peringatan maulid Nabi pada bulan Rabi’ul Awwal. Beliau merayakannya secara besar-besaran. Beliau adalah seorang yang berani, pahlawan,` alim dan seorang yang adil -semoga Allah merahmatinya-”.

Hukum Peringatan Maulid Nabi

Peringatan Maulid Nabi Muhammad sallallahu`alaihi wasallam yang dirayakan dengan membaca sebagian ayat-ayat al-Qur’an dan menyebutkan sebagian sifat-sifat nabi yang mulia, ini adalah perkara yang penuh dengan berkah dan kebaikan kebaikan yang agung. Tentu jika perayaan tersebut terhindar dari bid`ah-bid`ah sayyi-ah yang dicela oleh syara’. Sebagaimana dijelaskan di atas bahwa perayaan Maulid Nabi mulai dilakukan pada permulaan abad ke 7 Hijrah. Ini bererti perbuatan ini tidak pernah dilakukan oleh Rasulullah sallallahu`alaihi wasallam, para sahabat dan generasi Salaf. Namun demikian tidak bererti hukum perayaan Maulid Nabi dilarang atau sesuatu yang haram. Kerana segala sesuatu yang tidak pernah dilakukan oleh Rasulullah sallallahu`alaihi wasallam atau tidak pernah dilakukan oleh para sahabatnya belum tentu bertentangan dengan ajaran Rasulullah sallallahu`alaihi wasallam sendiri. Para ulama’ menyatakan bahawa perayaan Maulid Nabi adalah sebahagian daripada bid`ah hasanah (yang baik). Ertinya bahawa perayaan Maulid Nabi ini merupakan perkara baru tetapi ia selari dengan al-Qur’an dan hadith-hadith Nabi dan sama sekali tidak bertentangan dengan keduanya
