Mawlid According to the True Salafi 'Ulama
What the Salafi `Ulama Say about Mawlid
We begin with the name of Allah Almighty, and with praise and the
invocation of peace on His beloved Messenger SAW.
Our intention in this article is to provide evidence that the Mawlid is
acceptable according to the scholars of the Salafi school, the school
followed by those who are opposed to the Mawlid. Such fatawi (religious
legal rulings) were made by all the scholars of the Salafi school and
they must be studied by all those who claim to follow that school.
Permissibility of Mawlid According to Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama'at
Scholars
The opinion of the scholars of Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama'at on the
permissibility of Mawlid is well known. Our intention here is not to
present the proofs of Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama'at scholars on the
acceptibility of the Mawlid. These proofs are numerous, and are based
on Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (s). For references to such
proofs, see our book entitled "Innovation and True Belief: The
Celebration of Mawlid." Our intention is to present the fact that the
`ulama of the Salafi school accepted the Mawlid and did not object to
it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya's Opinion on the Celebration of the Mawlid
This is Imam Ibn Taymiyya's opinion about Mawlid from: "the Collected
Fatwas," ("Majma' Fatawi Ibn Taymiyya,") Vol. 23, p. 163:
"fa-t'adheem al-Mawlid wat-tikhaadhuhu mawsiman qad yaf'alahu ba'ad
an-naasi wa yakunu lahu feehi ajra `adheem lihusni qasdihi t'adheemihi
li-Rasulillahi, salla-Allahu `alayhi wa sallam"
"To celebrate and to honor the birth of the Prophet (s) and to take it
as an honored season, as some of the people are doing, is good and in
it there is a great reward, because of their good intentions in
honoring the Prophet (s)."
Ibn Qayyim's Opinion on Recitation of the Prophet's (s) Birthday
Allama Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah, the best and most reknowned student of
Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya, writes, on page 498 of "Madarij
as-Salikin,"
"Listening to a good voice celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (s)
or celebrating any of the holy days in our history gives peace to the
heart, and gives the listener light from the Prophet (s) to his heart,
and he will drink more from the Muhammadan spring (`ayn
al-Muhammadiyya)."
Ibn Kathir Praises the Night of Mawlid
One of the most reknowned scholars is Ibn Kathir. Ibn Kathir was a
muhaddith from the followers of Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya,
rahmatullah `alayh. Ibn Kathir, in the last days of his life wrote a
book entitled "Mawlid Rasul Allah (s)" which was spread far and wide.
That book mentioned the permissibility and recommendability of
celebrating the Mawlid.
Ibn Kathir says in the aforementioned book, p. 19:
"The Night of the Prophet's (s) birth is a magnificent, noble, blessed
and holy night, a night of bliss for the believers, pure, radiant with
lights and of immeasurable price."
Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya Said: "Laylat al-'Israa' wal-Mi'raj is
Greater than Laylat al-Qadr"
Imam Ibn Taymiyya said that Laylat al-'Israa' wal-Mi'raj was better
than Laylat al-Qadr. He is quoted by Ibn Qayyim in the latter's book,
"al-Badaa'i," Vol. 3, page 162:
"wa suila shaikh ul-Islam `an Laylat ul-Qadri wa Laylat ul-'Israai'
ayyuhuma afdal? Fa-ajaaba bi-anna Laylat ul-'Israai' afdal fee haqq
in-Nabee"
"Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya was asked, `Which is better, Laylat
al-Qadr or Laylat al-'Israa'?' and he answered, `With respect to the
Prophet (s), Laylat al-'Israa' is better than Laylat al-Qadr.'"
The Importance of Laylat al-Mawlid
Now we ask: If Ibn Taymiyya accepted that Laylat al-'Israa' may be
considered better than Laylat ul-Qadr, why not consider that Laylat
al-Mawlid is better than Laylat al-'Israa', since the Night of the
Prophet's (s) Birth is the night in which was born the one who went to
`Isra' and Mi'raaj? Therefore we say, as Ibn Marzuq, the reknowned
student of Imam Nawawi said:
"Laylat al-Mawlid is better than Laylat al-Qadr."
Ibn Kathir Mentions The Prophet (s) Accepting Poetry in His Honor
In the time of the Prophet (s), it is well-known that poets came to him
with all kinds of works praising him, writing about his campaigns and
battles and about the Sahaba. This is proved by the numerous poems
quoted in the Siras of Ibn Hisham, al-Waqidi, and others. The Prophet
(s) was happy with good poetry. It is reported in Bukhari's "al-Adab
al-Mufrad" that he said: "There is wisdom in poetry."
Ibn Kathir says in his "Mawlid," page 30:
"The Prophet's (s) uncle al-'Abbas (r) composed poetry praising the
birth of the Prophet (s), in which are found the following lines:
`When you were born,
the earth was shining,
and the firmament barely contained your light,
and we can pierce through,
thanks to that radiance and light
and path of guidance.'"
Ibn Kathir mentions the fact that according to the Sahaba, the Prophet
(s) praised his own name and recited poetry about himself in the middle
of the battle of Hunayn in order to encourage the companions and
frighten the enemies. That day he said (s):
"Ana an-Nabee, laa kadhib
Ana ibn `abd al-Muttalib"
meaning:
"I am the Prophet!
This is no lie.
I am the son of `Abd al-Muttalib!"
Ibn Qayyim on the Singing and Recitation of Poetry
`Allama Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya wrote in his book "Madarij as- Salikin,"
Vol. 1:
"the Prophet (s) also gave permission to sing in wedding celebrations,
and allowed poetry to be recited to him. He heard Anas (r) and the
Companions praising him and reciting poems while digging before the
famous battle of the Trench (Khandaq) as they said: "We are the ones
who gave bay'ah to Muhammad for jihad as long as we are living."
Ibn Qayyim also mentions `Abdullah ibn Rawaha's long poem praising the
Prophet (s) as the latter entered Mecca, after which, the Prophet (s)
prayed for him. He prayed that Allah support Hassan, another poet, with
the Holy Spirit as long as he would support the Prophet (s) with his
poetry. Similarly the Prophet (s) rewarded Ka'b ibn Zubayr's poem of
praise with a robe. Ibn Qayyim continues, "`A'isha always recited poems
praising him and he was happy with her."
Ibn Qayyim on the Melodious Recitation of Qur'an
Ibn al-Qayyim says in the same book, page 488, "Allah gave permission
to his Prophet (s) to recite the Qur`an in a melodious way. "
Ibn Qayyim continues, "The Prophet (s) said, `Decorate the Qur'an with
your voices,' and `Who does not sing the Qur'an is not from us.' Ibn
Qayyim comments on page 490: "To take pleasure in a good voice is
acceptable, as is taking pleasure from nice scenery, such as mountains
or nature, or from a nice smell, or from good food, as long as it is
conforming to shari'a. If listening to a good voice is haram, then
taking pleasure in all these other things is also haram."
Ibn Taymiyya's Opinion on the Meetings of Dhikr
The following is the opinion of Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya on
meetings of dhikr. It can be found in Vol. 22, page 253 of the
Collected Fatwas, King Khalid ibn `Abdul `Aziz edition ("Majma'a Fatawa
Ibn Taymiyya"):
Ibn Taymiyya was asked about people that gather in a masjid making
dhikr and reading Qur'an, praying to Allah and taking their turbans off
their heads (leaving their heads bare) and crying, while their
intention is not pride nor showing off but seeking to draw closer to
Allah: is it acceptable or not?
Wa min Allah at-tawfiq (from Allah is all success).
salam.
