The prophet
in Medina in the
hadith literature,
hadith that's in the Mustadrak of Imam al
Hakim, Imam al Bayh Haqqi also records the
hadith. He performed his own aqqiqah in Medina,
and Imam Suyuti says in his fatwa and
his fatawa
that this was to celebrate his motive.
The prophet celebrated
his motive. This is the opinion of Jalal
ad Dinas Suyuti,
who was a great, great scholar.
Right?
In the Sahihayn,
why are you fasting? We know the hadith.
That This is the day in which I
was born
and the day in which the Quran was
revealed to me
in the sunun of Imam al Nasai, a
sound hadith
from,
Abu Saeed al Khudri, he says that
he says that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
one time came and he saw his Sahaba
in a holocaust
sitting in a holocaust.
And he said,
Why are you sitting in the circle? What
has brought you out here? Why are you
sitting in this majlis?
And they responded to the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. They said,
He said, they said to him,
to,
we are calling on Allah
which is what we're doing
here,
and we're,
we're, praising Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to guiding
us to Islam.
Okay?
And force and the blessing of you
and the blessing of you, You Rasulullah.
Right? So what are the Sahaba
doing?
What we're doing.
That's exactly what we're doing.
Right?
And then the prophet, salallahu alaihi wasalam, he
said, I'm not asking you to rebuke you.
Read the entire hadith.
He said, I'm asking you because I was
informed
that that Allah
is boasting to the angels about you right
now
because of what you're doing. So what were
the Sahaba do? They were sitting around.
They were
supplicating to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, they were
praising Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
and they were recounting the blessing of of
of Allah sending them the prophet Muhammad
So
celebration of modid
is indispensable.
Every Muslim has to celebrate the modin. In
other words, every Muslim has to be happy
that Allah
sent the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. If you're
not happy that Allah sent the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam, then there's something wrong with your
Aqidah.
That's an Aqidah issue. On the day in
which you do that, that's a 5th issue.
That's not an Aqidah issue. You do it
one day,
today,
in the masjid, somewhere else, that's that's not
an Aqidah issue. But but expressing joy for
the birth of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
this is something that is indispensable.
This is this is the hallmark of a
Muslim. The Christians say, la ilaha illallah.
I've heard them say it, Arab Christians.
Jews, they say that too. What makes the
difference? They said, what what makes the difference
for us? Muhammad.
Muhammad.
He's the messenger of God, the final messenger
of God.
