Is it Permissible to Celebrate a Day? Celebrating the Birth of the Holy Prophet [Peace be Upon Him]

IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO CELEBRATE A DAY?

Allaah Almighty says in His Sacred Scripture the Holy Qur’aan:

لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أَنْ أَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُم بِأَيَّىٰمِ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ

“AND REMIND THEM OF THE DAYS OF ALLAAH” –

 [Al- Qur’aan, Chapter Ibrahim, Verse 5]

There is no doubt that Almighty Allaah created all the days and nights and that they are all His.  But we have to understand, which days are the ones we are specifically commanded to remember? The respected chief of interpreters of Qur’aan Hazrat Ibne Abbaas, Hazrat Ubaiy Ibne Ka’ab, Hazrat Mujaahid and Hazrat Qataadah

[Radiyal Laah Anhuma]

along with several other interpreters say,

“THE DAYS OF ALLAAH REFER TO THOSE DAYS ON WHICH ALLAAH BESTOWED REWARDS TO HIS BONDSMEN”. 

 [Ibne Jareer, Khaazin, Madaarik, Mufridaat, Raaqhib]

The true believers know that Almighty Allaah’s greatest blessing is the the Reason of all Creation, The Mercy unto the Worlds, the Intercessor of the Sinful, Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafaa [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]. All other blessings are because of him, if he was not created than nothing else would have been created. 

So, to revive the memories of the day that the greatest blessing was bestowed and to tell others that this is the day Allaah Kareem bestowed great blessing on all Muslims by sending His beloved Prophet [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] is definitely obeying the command of Almighty Allaah. And to follow any command of Allaah is not an innovation but is a cause of Blessing and Mercy.  Based on this, consideration must be given to those days on which great events took place and Divine blessings were bestowed on respected Holy people of Islaam.
