Remember! The commandment of rejoicing over the birth of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been proven from the Holy Quran. Therefore, it has been stated in the Holy Quran, part 11, Surah Yunus, Ayah No. 58:

قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ بِرَحْمَتِهٖ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَلْیَفْرَحُوْاؕ-هُوَ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ(۵۸)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Say you (O Beloved), ‘Only Allah’s Bounty and His Mercy; and only upon it they should rejoice.’ That is better than all their (accumulated) wealth. (Part 11, Surah Yunus, Ayah 58)

Regarding this blessed Ayah, the renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: O Belovedصَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! After giving this glad tidings to people, also command them to rejoice openly upon receiving the Grace and Mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Generally, rejoice all the time, but special celebration should be made on those dates when these blessings were granted i.e. Ramadan, in particular, Shab-e-Qadr and Rabi’-ul-Awwal, in particular, the 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal. As the grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, i.e. the Holy Quran, descended in Ramadan and ‘رَحْمَۃٌ لِّلْعَالَمِیْن’ (the mercy for the entire universe), i.e. the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born in Rabi’-ul-Awwal. To celebrate this grace and mercy is better than worldly accumulated possessions, money, home, property, livestock, agriculture and even children etc.; because the benefit of this joy is not personal but national, not temporary but forever, not only limited to this world but also in the Hereafter, not only physical but also spiritual. It has no destruction but Sawab (reward). (Tafseer Na’eemi, vol. 11, pp. 369)

Belief of the Ahl-us-Sunnah

Dear Islamic brothers! According to the belief of Ahl-us-Sunnah, the blessed gathering of Milad is one of the most excellent acts of Mustahabbat [commendable actions] and one of the most superior virtuous acts.

(Al-Haq-ul-Mubeen, pp. 100)

Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, Badr-ut-Tareeqah, ‘Allamah, Maulana, Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: ‘The blessed Milad, that is to say,
