This masterpiece in English literature by eminent scholar and recognised authority on Islam, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is a study of the permissibility and legality of celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (Mawlid al-Nabi) who was sent as a Mercy to humanity.
The lord of the worlds Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) privileged humanity by manifesting in the world which was in a state of utter chaos before him. Mawlid or the birthday of Allah's beloved Prophet Mohammad was celebrated with all the unheretical practices for approximately thirteen hundred years. It is only after the Ottoman Empire that a kind of debate on the celebration of his birthday is continued. The author, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has answered all queries regarding celebration of Mawlid. He has proven the validity of celebrating the prestigious day of the Prophet’s arrival by the authentic events, Hadiths, Sunna and extracts from the legendary scholars of Islam. No aspect of the issue has been kept unaddressed. The holy verses of the Quran have been referred to reinforce the acceptability and authenticity of celebration of the most auspicious day. This miraculous book is a classic and a favourite among the people as it unlocks hearts to the love for the beloved Holy Prophet. #sultanulashiqeen #sultanulfaqrpublications #sultanulashiqeenbooks #mawlid_al_nabi #celebration_of_mawlid #celebration_of_birthday_of_prophet_mohammad #Milad_un_Nabi #hadiths_on_mawlid #mawlid_proof #prophet_birthday #mawlid_un_nabi_tradations
