The celebration of the birth of our beloved Prophet ﷺ is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance. But why is it an innovation? If you say it is an innovation, do you say that the device you are reading this text upon is not an innovation?!
Ḥāfiẓ Ghulām Muṣṭafā Ẓahīr Amanpūrī [ḥafiẓahullāh] discusses in his book 'Eid Mīlādun Nabī ﷺ ki Shar'ī Ḥaythiyyat (عید میلاد النبی کی شرعی حیثیت) the topic of the Mawlid systematically and holistically. He first emphasises the importance in holding on to the Sunnah, following it correctly, and staying away from Bid'ah. Then he explains what Bid'ah is and what types can be established if we look at the texts of the Qur'ān and Sunnah, and the understanding of our Salaf. Lastly, he discusses the issue of the Mawlid and shows why it is an innovation we should be staying far way from.
The book is written in Urdu.
