Celebrating Birthdays

[Rabi'ya]

With regards to birthdays......

I try not to celebrate my birthday but as my mum n brother are kaffir I had no choice this year. I try to keep it as low key as poss tho. We went out for food jsut the three of us, and then went to the beach in the evening.

I told my mum I didnt want to celebrate, but she made a good point, she wanted to celebrate and remember the day on which she gave birth to her first child and only daughter - mashaallah i thought that was sweet

Wsalaam

Rabi'ya :rose:

You can use the opportunity if you use the day to be kind to your family, perform Dawah (inviting to Islam), and thanking Allah swt for His favours.

Whether it was wrong or not depends upon your intentions. Like they have said birthdays celebration is an innovation.

Your posts are sooo funny, but anyway, the whole point of the forum is for people to put forward their views, and as long as they say that what they think is their opinion and not some scholars, I dont think there should be a problem with it...

 

[Muezzin]

Yup. And celebrating birthdays is a no-no.

I dont think we should celebrate birthdays, theres not much to celebrate when you think about how close death is and how close we are to meeting our lord (Allah Taa'la).

When you phrase it that way, there is a lot to celebrate.

Why do we keep on celebrating and entertaining ourselves? Don't we know that every day almost a thousand of our brothers and sisters are crying 4 their lives. Why don't we use that time to pray for them instead. And by the way even though if that is not the case celebrating birthdays are not something our Prophet(peace be upon him) taught us. we shouldn't follow the unbelievers!!!!
