Milad un Nabi: Tareekhi Masail aur Islami Nazriat - Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the historical development of celebrating the Prophet Muhammad's birthday (Milad un Nabi). He distinguishes between earlier practices of observing the Prophet’s passing with charitable acts and the later emergence of formalized celebrations resembling Christian festivals. He explains that the initial impetus for celebrating Milad un Nabi within Sunni communities stemmed from a desire to counter Shi'a observances, specifically their mourning processions. Dr. Ahmad argues that while commemorating the Prophet’s death with acts of charity and religious gatherings is permissible, the later, elaborate celebrations are a recent addition not found in early Islamic practice. He stresses that focusing on charitable acts on the day of the Prophet’s passing is acceptable, but the current form of Milad celebrations is a later innovation.
