Love does not require evidence; it is subordinate to Islamic law

Observe the blessed action of Sayyidunā Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ! He immediately caught the blessed strand of the Prophet’s hair before it could reach the ground. This is proof that love does not need evidence. However, it is subservient to Islamic law. Protecting the blessed hair from touching the floor is not a command in a particular verse or Hadith. Sayyidunā Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ performed this action before the beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , and he did not prohibit it. In fact, he made dua for him. On the other hand, when the noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ asked for permission to prostrate to him, he forbade them.^[1]

It is evident that the action which demonstrates love and does not fall outside the boundaries of Islamic law is permissible and lawful; in fact, it earns the pleasure of the beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم . Therefore, decorating homes during RabīꜤ al-Awwal, raising flags, hanging lights, holding gatherings, cooking food, feeding the poor, attending processions, etc. are perfectly permissible as the devotees of the Messenger of Allah  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  perform these in happiness at his birth out of love for him, and they do not contravene Islamic law. Therefore, how can they be termed impermissible innovations?

Unique Remedy for all Illnesses

At Ḥudaibiyyah, the beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  had his hair cut and placed on a tree. The noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ gathered under the tree and began to take the strands from one another. Sayyidatuna Umm ꜤAmārah رَضِیَ اللہُ عَنْہا states, “I also acquired a few strands of hair at that time. After the apparent passing of the beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , if anyone became ill, I would dip those strands in some water and
