Should Muslims Celebrate Milad al-Nabi? | The Truth About the Prophet’s Birthday ﷺ

Every year, millions of Muslims across the world light up streets, homes, and mosques to celebrate 12th Rabi‘ al-Awwal — the day believed to mark the birth of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

For some, it’s a beautiful expression of love for the Holy Prophet ﷺ. For others, it’s viewed as a religious innovation (bid‘ah) with no roots in the early Islamic era.

So what’s the truth? 🤔
Did the Prophet ﷺ or his companions ever celebrate his birthday?
And what’s the right way to show true love and devotion to him today?

💫 In this episode of Sacred Smile | Beacon of Truth, we explore:
✅ What the Qur’an and Hadith say about remembering the Prophet ﷺ
✅ How Mawlid (Milad al-Nabi) is celebrated around the world
✅ The two extremes — total rejection vs. exaggerated celebration
✅ A balanced Islamic perspective — daily remembrance through durood, prayers, and following his sunnah

✨ True love for the Prophet ﷺ isn’t measured in one night of lights — it’s reflected in a lifetime of obedience, mercy, and character.
