[edit] Madih nabawi

If anyone knows, could they please add some information that shows why the section on Madih nabawi is part of the Mawlid article? I didn't see an obvious connection between the two subjects in the article. Is Madih nabawi traditionally performed during Mawlid or something?

Also, this article seems to be fairly comprehensive. Does it really warrant a stub tag?

Looking at the history I can't remember. Madih nabawi is often a part of Mawlid, but the description doesn't seem Mawlid specific. Hyacinth 13:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic script

I've added it, and removed the Arabic-script tag from the talk page. --Skoosh 03:25, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moved commentary from an anonymous user

An anonymous contributor (24.88.247.201) added the following section to the document. It is POV and therefore not appropriate for the article itself, so I am moving it here. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 13:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

According to authentic Islam and Muslin scholars, no such thing called Mawlid in Islam. Nether Profit Mohammed (pbuh) nor Sahaba (Companions of the Profit, pbuh) or Al elBait (Family of the Profit, pbut) celebrated this day. If some Muslims today are doing it, it is because of ignorance. Muslims should live the example of the Profit, pbuh and his Family, pbut and the Sahaba, may Allah be pleased with them all, in a daily bases.

All Muslims in The world Celebrate The Prophet Mouhammad Birth , It's A Good inovation to do it . What is bad to make islamic chants , give food to poor people and gather on the good deeds ? The Only People who deny the Prophet Birth are the Deviated Wahhabies follower of Ibn Taymiya and Mouhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab also They are Responsable of the 9/11 Attack on the World Trade Center in other word just Terrorists . --Muslim sunni 04:28, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

First of all, no trolling, second of all- I am anti-wahhabist and I don't believe in mawlid. Sweeping generalizations are bad on any subject. Careful. Angrynight 04:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Million of Muslims around the world celebrate the Mawlid, as i Said it's a Good Inovation and people who celebrate get Rewards . Muslim sunni

Unfortunately the word ‘Mawlid’ has a very negative stigma attached to it and no less supported by our Wahabi brothers. The real aim here would be dissect what this really consists of and whether this is considered as shirk? Throughout the world, people celebrate the birth of the holy and last messenger of god. This consists of holding sermons, giving out food & sweets or wearing new cloths. Upon looking at this breakdown, each individual aspect would not be frowned upon by any Muslim. But when combining them and calling it ‘mawlid’, this causes great resentment and anger. This it seem has come down to miscommunication which if understood and acknowledged would help strength communities and not divide them.

Mawlid in itself is not wrong. Those who insist Mawlid must be celebrated on the 12th Rabi-ul-Uwal and only then may be incorrect although Allah knows best. We should celebrate the birth of the prophet every day of our lives giving thanks, and many people throughout the world do this. He was after all the mercy to mankind. Those who celebrate it upon the 12th Rabi-ul-Uwal are not deviant but they must continue to celebrate this by taking about his message throughout the year. Only then would we be able to break away from the accusation and counter accusation. 22/05/06 194.35.186.254

[edit] Irrelevent text

I removed some text after Muhammad's name, it is not necessary to the article and doesn't keep to the impartiality required of Wikipedia, religious praises aren't necessary: 58.104.82.82

in Islam it is required to say after the prophet name : Peace Be Upon Him. Muslim sunni

What's your point? Wikipedia is not a religion, it is meant to be purely factual. Wikipedia does not respect any particular religious belief. For example see Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. I hardly call the cartoons depicting The Prophet Mohammad to be "respectful" towards Islam. -AlexJohnc3 01:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Brother Muslim sunni Salaam. No doubt we have to say PBUH after his name. However this is not wikipedia (a secular encyclopedia), not islamiwiki or something. I you put honorific titles before the Prophet (S.A.W.), and non-Muslim editors removes it, it wont be good. Please avoid honorific titles before our prophets and saints. I will remind you of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. Ali (RA) had written Muhammed Prophet of God in the deed. Meccan delegation objected that if they had recognized Muhammed as a Prophet, then there would have been no dispute in the first place. On Ali not finding the power to strike of "Rasulullah" (Prophet of God), Muhammed himself went ahead and struck it off. The point is, when dealing with non-Muslims, the reference to his prophet is not a show stopper. You may say so in the discussion page though. Wassalam Hassanfarooqi 16:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One-Sidedness

Descriptions of this article are only one-sided and biased. The writer only expresses that he/she hasn't got any impartial study on the topic. Unprejudiced approach is required to touch such sensitive topics. Muhammad (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) is the center of faith and love to all the Muslims. I don't know what's wrong with celebrating the day of that person whom you love the most especially when every month we are now celebrating this or that day. If we can celebrate a father's day, a mother's day etc., why shouldn't we tell our new generation that this personality is even more important than your parents?

This year, I fasted on this day, I gave to charity, I gathered my children and told them how the prophet (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) led his life, I told them what we should do and then we all tried our best to follow maximum of his sunnahs all day. I don't know where I or my children were wrong or still we need any reference for the authentication that we were only doning something good on this day?

[edit] Missing date

In the list of dates, there is an error or omission:

• 2015: January 2

and

• 2016: December 22

are separated by nearly two whole years. This error arises because the list only shows one date in each Gregorian year. There should be two dates listed in the year 2015, one in January and one in December.

I suspect that the list should show the months and dates as currently displayed, but the years should follow the pattern ...2013,2014,2015,2015,2016,2017... ie this would be an error in all the dates after January 2, 2015.

The alternative is that all the dates listed are correct, and that there is an omission in the month of December 2015.

However I don't have access to the resources to check/confirm this, so I haven't made any changes.

[edit] Sunni Bias

I noticed that it had been edited to only reflect the Sunni celebration dates of each year and had omitted all references to there even being a Shia date or this date being 5 days different. I have reverted it to an older version which contained these as they are extremely important to preserving a balance and not favouring the Sunni over the Shia. Any edits since then have been cancelled, so please edit and do not omit this information. 71.71.18.56

Please do no refer to the bias as a Sunni bias. It may be a bias by a Sunni and that too you do not know. It is vandalism, plain and simple. Hassanfarooqi 16:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
