Description :
Sublime Aspiration : This work is a translation of Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti's, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi's work: Husn al-Maqsid fi Amal al-Mawlid with footnotes and appendices.
Praise be to Allah ta'ala, and blessings be upon His elect slaves. A question was asked about celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ, in the month of Rabiy al-Awwal and about :
*** its legal status according to shar'iah,
*** whether it is commendable or a reprehensible act,
*** whether a person participating in it merits reward or not.
Essentially, Mawlid is a gathering of people in which the Qur’an is recited, events surrounding the birth [and proclamation] of the Prophet ﷺ, and [miraculous] signs that appeared during his blessed birth are narrated. A banquet is held and the assembly disperses thereafter, without doing anything further. This is a praiseworthy innovation and the person doing it will be rewarded, because of venerating the Prophet ﷺ, and expression of happiness and gratulation upon the blessed birth of the Messenger ﷺ.
