Muslims across the globe are very happy with the entry of Rabiul Awwal, or so-called "mawlid". Indeed it is worthy and worthy because this month is the birth of the most honorable Prophet, the Prophet who encompasses the universe with his Risalah and Rahmat, the Prophet who receives the most fadhail (privilege) and privilege, he is our Prophet, Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Abdillah SAW.
Then, starting from the month of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad this time the Muslims simultaneously in various regions held the memorial Maulid Prophet Muhammad, almost a full month they fill the days by gathering people reading the book Maulid, bersholawat, praise the Prophet and listen to religious lectures later enjoy the dish.
All that is nothing but the embodiment of the pleasure of his heart to welcome this glorious month. The ultimate that all this is the realization of his love to the Messenger of Allah.
All that pertains to and relates to him becomes noble. All that was attributed to him became honorable. This is solely because of his glory and honor SAW. Monday is a glorious day because on that day was born Prophet Muhammad, the most glorious Prophet, the month of Rabi al-Awwal a glorious month, eagerly awaited its presence by the Muslims, as they await Ramadan, for in this month Rabiul Awwal was born Prophet Muhammad awaited- wait for the whole nature persada. For he is the Prophet of the Mercy and the disseminator of Mercy for all nature.
Has become a custom and tradition among Salafus Saleh after the 3rd century Hijriyah celebrated the commemoration of the great mawlid of the Prophet. They live the night of mawlid with various kinds of obedience and worship approach to God such as feeding the poor, reading Al Quran, reciting dhikr, reciting poems and praises about the Prophet.
This is confirmed by some scholars such as Al-Hafiz Ibn Jauzi, Al-Hafiz Ibn Katsir, Al Hafiz Ibn Dihyah Al-Andalusi, Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, and the Huffazh Closing (the hordes of hadith in an enormous amount) Jalaluddin Al- Suyuthi, may Allah SWT bestow His mercy on them.
This kind of mawlid commemoration has been done by the Muslims since ancient times as we have mentioned. Priests, clerics and ordinary people also enliven them. But lately we hear a lot of groups saying that this Mawlid memorial is a heresy that leads to heresy and ultimately to hell. They then use their propositions to reinforce this point. Among them they say that such a warning is never done by Prophet Muhammad and his Companions. Warnings like this are just a waste of time and property (Israaf) and so forth.
Really this argument ?. So whether the activities that have been passed down through generations, these generations must be dissolved and declared as activities that violate the religion and the perpetrators will be dragged into error ?, Of course not !.
We will also present here some arguments and reinforcement reason allowed permission to perform Maulid Prophet Muhammad SAW. In fact, many scholars have written in their work a special book that addresses this issue and it is all very clear and accurate that such warnings are okay or even highly recommended especially in times like this, the era of slander everywhere are scattered, And even if it is seen that in the activity there is a reading sholawat, al-Quran, and so forth, then it is worship. This means that activities in which worship is done. That definitely rewarded.
All such acts include helping orphans and the needy, a symbol or a statement of our affection to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, and showing the reverence
