the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم rejoice from the bottom of their heart and busy themselves in preparing for the Jashn (celebrations of) Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi. And why should it not be done? As upon the arrival of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the entire universe became joyous; the ‘Arsh rejoiced; the Kursi also became happy and the jinns were stopped from going to the sky. They started saying to one another: ‘Undoubtedly we had to take great pains in our way.’ The angels started reciting Tasbeeh with extreme pleasure; the winds began blowing and swaying with ecstasy and exposed the clouds; branches in the gardens started bowing down and the calls of ‘اَهۡلًا وَّ سَهۡلًا مَرۡحَبَا’ were heard from every corner of the universe. (Ar-Raud-ul-Faaiq, pp. 243) In short, arrival of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the complete source of mercy and blessings.

Dear Islamic sisters! Remember! Celebrating Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is a sacred act and those who celebrate it are blessed with countless Islamic and worldly blessings from Allah Almighty. It is stated in Tafseer Ruh-ul-Bayan: ‘The blessings of a blessed gathering of Milad remains in the home for the whole year.’ (Ruh-ul-Bayan,   vol. 9, pp. 57) Similarly, Sayyiduna Imam Qastalani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said, ‘One of the proven blessing of conducting a gathering of Milad in the days of the blessed month is that peace and tranquillity prevails throughout that year. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on the one who celebrates the nights of the Milad month like Eid.’ (Al-Mawahib-ul-Ladunniyyah, vol. 1, pp. 148)

One who celebrates Milad has also been given the glad tidings of Paradise in addition to worldly blessings. The famous Muhaddis, Sayyiduna Shah ‘Abdul Haq Muhaddis Dihlvi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Reward of those who celebrate the blessed night of the arrival of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make them enter Jannat-un-Na’eem by His Grace and Mercy. Muslims have always been celebrating the blessed birth of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and they invite guests out of happiness, cook food, and give Sadaqah (charity) in abundance. They express their joy openly and spend whole-heartedly, hold Zikr of the blessed birth of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, decorate their houses and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ showers His Mercy on them due to the blessing of all these righteous deeds.’ (Masabata min-As-Sunnah, pp. 74)
