Eid Milad-un-Nabi 2024: Is Islam Permitting Eid-e-Milad?
No. The Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Mohammed, was the Messenger of God, who inspired all to perform a variety of religious practices, viz., to do Namaz (prayer) and to perform the worship of one God. He started Kalma, Roja, and Bang-Azan to his followers for the Bandagi (worship) of Allah.
- But are we following the path indicated by Hazrat Muhammad?
- Are we walking on the basis of knowledge of Allah given in the Holy Quran Sharif?
Because there is no command of Allah to celebrate Eid ul-Milad in Quran Sharif. So, we should not be conservative to do this but be thoughtful. Because in the Holy Quran Sharif Surat Ikhlaas 112 Ayat 1 to 4, it is clearly stated that Allah is neither born nor does He die; He is immortal. Then on what basis are we celebrating Eid-e-Milad?
SupremeGod appeared 600 years ago in Kashi (Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh for 120 years. He came in a Human like Body and went with the same. Allah is Akbar (Kabir) and no one else. He never took birth from a mother’s womb, and He never dies. According to Islamic philosophy, he was a prophet sent to spread the teachings of Allah. God ( Kaal Brahm) gave spiritual knowledge through Hazrat Mohammed Saheb of the Quran Sharif, evidence, and in Surat Furqan 25 Ayat 52 to 59 that also asked him to get the correct way of worship of SupremeGod from Bakhabar who knows God well.
Kabir Saheb Met Prophet Muhammad
Allah is one who is Kabir. Surat Al Furqan ayat 25:52
Fala tutiyal’ – Kafiran’ va jahid’hum bihi jihaadan kabira (Kabiran’) (25:52)
Allah is Kabir and He is in form. People could not understand and were misguided by Kaal Brahm. Allah Kabir says-
Khojat khojat thakia, ant kaha bechoon.
This means they said God is formless when they could not find Allah Kabir, who had taken Hazrat Muhammad to Satlok but he came back as he was not willing to stay there because of the fame he was getting on earth.
Hum Muhammad ko wahan le gayo, Ichchha roopi wahan nahee raho |
Ult Muhammad mahal pathaya, Guj biraj ek Kalma laya |
Roza Bang Namaz dai re, Bismil ki nahi baat kahi re|
Here Bismil is related to the slaughtering of animals.
Hazrat Muhammad Never ate Animals
Hazrat Muhammad never consumed the flesh of any animal. Instead of this, he was against the cruelty of animals. All Muslims are doing opposite to the practice what Hazrat Muhammad did. They are consuming non-vegetarian food which is against the order of god. Kabir saheb says in his sacred speech-
Nabi Muhammad namaskar hai, raam rasool kahaya |
Ek laakh assi kun sougandh, jin nahi karad chalaya |
Aras purus par allah takhat hai, khalik bin nahi khaali |
We paigambar pakh purush the, sahib ke abdali |
