Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest your deeds become worthless while you perceive not.” [Quran 49:2] (49:2 Which is the most important day of the week for Muslims Which day did Prophet Muhammed (SAW) fast every week. The Prophet Emphasized Monday As the Day He Was Born Birthplace of Prophet Muhammed (SAW) Mecca Birthplace of Prophet Muhammed (SAW) Mecca Abu Qatada al-Ansari narrates in Sahih Muslim, Kitab as-siyam, that the Prophet was asked about the fast of Monday, and he answered: "That is the day that I was born and that is the day I received the prophecy." Muslim quotes in his Sahih, the Prophet said, “On that day Monday I was born and on that day the first message was sent to me." What does Quran say about Birthdays The Holy Qur’an also singles out the birthday as an important event and worthy of mention. In Surah Maryam Allah tala commands us to send salaam on the day Sayyidina Yahya was born i.e. his birthday. ُ َوُ َويَ ْو َم يُ ْبع ُ َحيًّا َ س ََل ٌم ُ علَ ْي ِه يَ ْو َم ُو ِلدَ َويَ ْو َم يَ ُم َ َو (19:15) Hence, [God's] peace was upon him on the day when he was born, and on the day of his death, and. will be [upon him] on the day when he shall be raised to life [again]. 19:15 ُ َوُ َويَ ْو َم أ ُ ْبع ُ َ َوالس ََل ُم ُ علَي يَ ْو َم ُو ِلدُُّ َويَ ْو َم أ َ ُم ( َحيًّا19:33) 19:33 "Hence, peace was upon me on the day when I was born, and [will be upon me] on the day of my death, and on the day when I shall be raised to life [again]!" If Allah Almighty is ordering mankind to convey these salaams on to Sayyidina Yahya (as) how can one say it is prohibited to do the same for the Holy Prophet (saw) on his birthday who is the last and greatest of all Prophets? Why is Friday important day for Muslims? Speaking of the greatness of the day of Jum`ah (Friday), the Prophet said in his hadith: "On that day [i.e. Jum`ah], Allah created Adam." This means that the day of Friday is emphasized because Allah created Adam on that day. That day is emphasized because it saw the creation of the prophet and father of all human beings.

The Prophet Accepted Poetry in His Honor The Prophet was happy with good poetry since it is reported in Bukhari's alAdab al-mufrad and elsewhere that he said: "There is wisdom in poetry." Prophet's uncle al-`Abbas composed poetry praising the birth of the Prophet, in which are found the following lines: When you were born, the earth was shining, and the firmament barely contained your light, and we can pierce through, thanks to that radiance and light and path of guidance Talla Al Badr o Allaina Children mentioned him as Noor of Allah. He smiled and was happy. We recite Naats so that Prophet Muhammed is also happy with us and help us increase our love for Him (SAW) Tala Al Badru Alaina Tala Al Noor o Mubinu Noor o Khair il Mursaleen Nooro Amnin Was Salaamin Noorun Haqqin Wa Yaqeen Ibn Qayyim in Madarij al-salikin comments that the Prophet also gave permission to sing in wedding celebrations, and allowed poetry to be recited to him. He heard Anas and the Companions praising him and reciting poems while digging before the famous battle of the Trench (Khandaq), as they said: "We are the ones who gave bay`a to Muhammad for jihad as long as we are living." Singing and Recitation of Poetry It is established that the Prophet instructed `A'isha to let two ladies sing on the day of `Eid. He said to Abu Bakr: "Let them sing, because for every nation there is a holiday, and this is our holiday" Tala Al Badru Alaina Tala Al Noor o Mubinu Noor o Khair il Mursaleen Nooro Amnin Was Salaamin Noorun Haqqin Wa Yaqeen The Prophet Allowed Drum-Playing For A Good Intention "One lady came to the Prophet when he was returning from one of his battles and she said, "Ya Rasulallah, I have made an oath that if Allah sends you back safe, I would play this drum near you." The Prophet said, "Fulfill your oath." The hadith is found in Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and the Imam Ahmad. Children and girls played Duff when Prophet Muhammed (SAW) came to Medina from Mecca. Bidaa: Reality and the Trap Bidaa Use and Abuse Innovations?? "Whosoever introduces a new belief in our religion which contradicts with it is rejected." He also said "Beware of innovations, for every innovation (Kullu Bid'at) is misguidance." "He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is reward for him for this (act of goodness) and a reward for him also who acts according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acts upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burdens." Current “Bidaas” accepted by the Munkir e Milad Use of loud speaker Compilation of Quran Taraweeh Adding first call to prayer on Friday The rule of Kings is and has been the biggest Bidaa in Islam and that started with Muawiayah the son of Hind. Dots in the arabic alphabets Compilation of books of hadiths 6 Kalimas Imaan-e-Mujmal and Imaan-eMufassal Fasting open and breaking prayers Zakat in current currency Traveling in cars, buses, trains, airplanes for Hajj It is narrated by Abu Huraira in Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 32, Number 227: Hazrat Umar (R.A) saw people praying individually during night of Ramadan, he made up his mind to arrange them in one group behind one Imam for congregational prayers. Thus Salatu Tarawih started by Umar (R.A) while it was not ordered or performed by our beloved prophet. Hazrat Umar (R.A) clearly says 'what an excellent Bid'aa (i.e. Bidaatul Hasana) this is’.
