Tuesday March 18, 2008
This Thursday marks the Islamic date of 12 Rabia' Awal 1429 H. -- the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. While not universally recognized as a holiday, some Muslims mark the occasion with increased remembrance of the life of the Prophet.

Mawlid An Nabi is celebrated by majority of the muslims. Infact it is a public holiday in some countries. A minority who follow wahabism and deobandism schools are against this practice.

(4) Haider says:

But people quotes from Suhaba Ikram many things , and they prove that Many Suhaba Celebrated it. Its very difficult to even argue with them about it. They feel don’t love Prophet PBUH etc..

(6) Zanoon says:

I don’t think the Prophet (s.a.w.) ever celebrated his birth day in his life time. Why then should we? The love for the Prophet (S.A.W.) is not to celebrate his birth day but to adhere to what he taught and stood for.
