talking about of the blessed birth of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, is permissible. In the same relation, his صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم excellence, miracles, Seerah, attributes, blessed matters of his life, childhood and apparent arrival in this world are also mentioned in the same gatherings. These facts are also mentioned in Ahadees as well as the Holy Quran. If Muslims mention these narrations in their congregations or particularly hold a congregation to deliver such narrations, then there is no reason to declare these congregations impermissible. Inviting people to attend such congregations is inviting them towards goodness. The way announcements are made for speeches and congregations, advertisements and leaflets are published and distributed, articles are published in the newspapers, and the speeches and congregations are not declared to be impermissible due to these means of advertisements, in the same way, this Majlis of blessed Zikr [Milad] cannot be declared impermissible and an innovation if invitations are sent out for it too.’ (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vo. 3, pp. 644)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi and Dawat-e-Islami

Dear Islamic brothers! Which other day would be more a ‘Day of Gift’ for Muslims than the day of the blessed birth of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم? Because all the enlivening and blessings of the universe are bestowed upon us by the virtue of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; and this day is even greater than the day of Eids as both the Eids have also been bestowed upon us by its sake. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, under the supervision of the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool, Dawat-e-Islami, Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is celebrated in Pakistan as well as in many countries in a dignified manner every year at countless locations. On the night of 12 Rabi’-ul-Awwal, a great Ijtima’-e-Milad is held and on the day of Eid, i.e. 12^th Rabi-ul-Awwal, numerous Milad procession rallies are held resounding with chants of ‘Marhaba Ya Mustafa’, in which millions of devotees of Rasool participate.
