Should You Celebrate The Birth of Prophet Muhammad?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 


According to many Muslims, in the coming days the birth of Prophet Muhammad (saw) is going to be celebrated. Because of this, I would like to share the following video with you.

This is a part of a lecture given by Bilal Philips.  He is talking about the subject of celebrating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (saw). His view is that you should not celebrate the birth of the Prophet, because celebrating birthday comes from a pagan tradition. Even though your intention might be good, for example to remember the Prophet, you should not celebrate the birth of the Prophet. 

I hope you liked the video and that it might be helpful for you to answer your questions about celebrating the birth of the Prophet.

 
May peace, mercy and blessings from Allah be upon you
