"You cannot benefit from purity of the qālab (outer form) accompanied by defilement of the qalb (inner heart)" ~ Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (ra)

The purpose of the Mawlid is to break the inevitable turning of the Sunnah into a routine by reestablishing the withered connections between the heart of the believer and the Belovedﷺ. It’s a time when the Seerah (biography) is read, the Shama’il (description) is explained, and poems praising the Belovedﷺ are chanted. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was living the Sunnah, but it was the presence of the Belovedﷺ that made him feel more love for him than his own self. That second look Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took upon the Belovedﷺ when he confirmed his immense love for him was a Mawlid. The jumping of Companions during battles in front of the Belovedﷺ to protect him from flying arrows was a Mawlid. The taking of the Beloved’sﷺ place in bed by Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to save him from Quraysh’s plot to kill him was a Mawlid. The migration of Bilal ibn Rabah (may Allah be pleased with him) from Medina after the passing of the Belovedﷺ because he was overwhelmed by the loss was a Mawlid. His flowing tears and inability to call the Adhan when he was asked after his return years later was a Mawlid. The yearning of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as he constantly said, “O how I miss the Messenger of God” was a Mawlid.
The Mawlid is a time to rekindle the love. In a world where we’ve become more like programmed robots, the Mawlid is a chance to be humans as we reconnect our hearts to the ultimate human. The Mawlid is not a religious ritual. It’s the life force that turns routine motions into what we all want to be on – the Sunnah of the Belovedﷺ ~ Mohamed Ghilan

"Grudges are weights, they will shackle you down to earth. There is no way you can move spiritually closer to Allah subhanawatalah when you are filled with hate and grudges against his creation, even if they were oppressor or tyrants.
You cannot move when you are shackled down. Hate and grudges are weights that anchor you down.
Clean your heart, flush all the diseases. Forgive! As if you have done wrong to somebody, forgive! We are here today and we do not know if we will be here tomorrow, take the time. Show your love to Allah subhanawatalah and ask him for his forgiveness."
Sayyidi Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya al-Husayni an- Ninowy (Hafidhahu Allahu Ta'ala)

" Love is the prerequisite for true repentance. For love ignites the desire for our turning, and ensures our complete healing. Fear and hope (to gain) may lead us to compliance, but love changes and captures our heart. This calling for "Love" maybe too much for some minds, but it is just right for our soul". -Sayyidi Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya an-Ninowy (Hafidhahu Allahu Ta'ala) 10/2013
