Ahlus-Sunnah South-Africa

The Lofty Status of the Sunnah

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allāh, the Most High, have mercy upon him, said:

Indeed, the Sunnah is Allāh’s impregnable fortress; whoever enters it will be among those who are safe. It is His greatest gate; whoever enters through it will be among those who reach Him.

The Sunnah upholds its people even when their deeds fall short, and its light will proceed before them when the lights of the people of innovation and hypocrisy have been extinguished.

And Ahl as-Sunnah (the People of the Sunnah) are those whose faces will be whitened when the faces of the people of innovation are blackened.

Allāh, the Most High, said:

“On the Day when some faces will become white and some faces will become black…”
[Āl ʿImrān 3:106]

Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allāh be pleased with him) said:

“The faces of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Iʾtilāf (the People of the Sunnah and Unity) will become white, while the faces of Ahl al-Bidʿah wat-Tafarruq (the People of Innovation and Division) will become black.”

The Ruling on Celebrating the Mawlid

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

We say that celebrating the birthday of the Messenger ﷺ is undoubtedly an innovation, because its reason and occasion existed during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, yet he did not do it.

Then we say: Did the Messenger ﷺ not know that it was a Sunnah, or did he know that it was a Sunnah but fail to clarify it?

Both possibilities are impossible.

It is impossible that Allah, the Most High, would reserve knowledge of this matter for people who came four hundred years later, while withholding it from His Messenger ﷺ and his Rightly Guided Caliphs.

And it is equally impossible that the Messenger ﷺ knew of it but did not clarify it to his Ummah.
