This entry will be short.
Mawlid an-Nabee is bid'ah. It is a sunnah of the Shi'ites. (Refer to my entry on 24 March in Malay.)
It was started by the Fatimiyyah who were Shi'ites. This is as mentioned by Shaykh 'Ali Mahfooz, a major scholar of Al-Azhar, in his book "al-Ibda' fil Madari' al-Ibtida' "
Birthday celebrations is also bid'ah. It is not from the practice of Muslims. Rather it came from the Christians.
And we know of the hadeeth which states that "Whoever imitates a people is among them."
Hence, fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, reflect upon ourselves. If we've been celebrating birthdays and Mawlid an-Nabee, leave them.
Below is a link of my previous entries on Mawlid an-Nabee and birthday celebrations.
