    Mr Shaykh speaking on the video, broke the first rule of 'adab' which is, to assume the best of Muslims. Hasn ad-dhan

    From my own experience of having been in dozens of different Mosques, its rarely people will exchange salaams when they're busy in zikr or tilaWah or quietly waiting for salah. It's usually before a salah starts and when people are pouring in, thats when the odd salam is exchanged

    But our intellectual brother immediately thought that no one gave him salam because they hated him for being black

    To be fair though people rarely give salams it's one of the signs of the hour. Allahu alim the motivation but this is standard across the board from what I've seen

    Thanks for sharing. It’s beautiful reminder, unfortunately many will still not use their intellect. Allah guides and gives the understanding of His religion whom He wills.

    Here's an explanation of the deobandi position :

    The position of the Deobandi Ulama is that, not only is it permissible to have a gathering of Mawlid, rather it is an act of great virtue, as long as the gathering is free from the unlawful or reprehensible activities, such as free intermingling of the sexes, excessive wasteful spending, fixing of a particular date, etc, and it is not held to be something necessary to do such that those who choose not to participate are considered to be in the wrong.

    The above is the Deobandi viewpoint and it would be inappropriate to force it upon them that they totally reject having gatherings of Mawlid.

    Reason why I've been reluctant to point out other flaws is because I'll have to lambaste our super intellectual Shaykh

    When great Scholars like Imam Ash Shafi, Imam an-Nawawi, etc etc hold the view that bida-e-hasana is part of Islam, the very title of the video is insulting towards these great scholars. Insults and bad opinion of fellow Muslims stems from ignorance.... So it's very laughable that he implies he's using his intellect

    Here is the speech from Maulana Makki Alhijazi, who is deubandi and is categorically calling celebration of Prophet Muhammad PBUH’d birthday as Bid’a.
    https://youtu.be/o1VknXPeQeA

    Below is another link of Dr. Farhat Hashim, another Hanafi female scholar and she has also called this innovation.

    https://youtu.be/Zzzer7lQfNw

    Now even if we go by hanafi scholars, it is clear that their opinion agrees with the opinion of Sheikh you are criticizing, may be because he is not hanafi?

    In every Jumma Khutba we hear that every Innovation ( good & bad) is misguidance and leads to hell fire. We better hold the Quran and sunnah instead of believing so called scholars who focus on madhab alone and go to every extreme just to defend their madhab even if it means to reject Sahih Hadith. We had enough discussion on madhab issue and it’s your choice to follow Islam in a way prophet PBUH taught us or in your imam’s way.

    When the deobandi scholars say its 'bida' they either don't understand fully in what way they consider it bida or they mean there is bidah done in some mawlid (like free mixing) celebrations so that's why they prohibit it

    They're either using the 'laymen terminologies' (I. E. They don't bother using all the more detailed reasons why they prohibit it as it may confuse laymen, or either some of the deobandi scholars havnt learnt the nitty gritty reasons why themselves.

    See my above link to bint Aisha. That explains that deobandis prohibit it due to bidah done in mawlid and they don't regard the mawlid itself to be bidah

    Deobandis infact consider the mawlid to be mubah (allowed) so they think a mubah action should be prohibited if it is accompanied by bidah.

    The vast majority of the ahlus Sunnah scholars allow mawlid and the imperative reason that we need this in this day and age to rekindle light of iman in us when iman and 'amal are at an all time low makes sense to me

    See:

    https://www.deoband.org/2010/02/fiqh...d-hanafi-fiqh/

    And anyway, let's say for example there is a valid view that the mawlid itself is bidah, even in this case, we do not condemn those who hold it valid as differences of opinion in fiqh is not condemned

    Re: Mawlid. Where is your intellect?

    From above link


    Mawlid, Deoband and Hanafi fiqh

    The first type of gathering is that which does not contain any of the prevalent and customary restrictions (quyud). Neither [does it contain] mubah (permissible) restrictions nor makruh (prohibitively disliked) ones, i.e., it is free from all [sorts of] restrictions. For instance, a few people gathered by coincidence, no one had invited them with any extraordinary effort; rather they were gathered for some other permissible event. In this gathering, either by reading from a book or by delivering a lecture, the blessed event of the birth and the characteristics, habits, miracles and virtues of our Radiant Master (Allah bless him and give him peace), the Lord of the Universe, the Source of Pride for the Prophet Adam (may Allah’s peace be upon him), were narrated based on sound sources.

    During this narration, if the need was felt to enjoin good actions and discuss religious rulings and one proceeded in doing so without hesitation or this gathering was held to listen to a religious discourse and within it these blessed events and virtues were narrated, then this is the type [of mawlid] that is permissible without any objection. Moreover, it is sunnah and mustahabb (recommended).
