Celebrating Birthdays

salaam
i think we shouldnt celebrate our birthdays but the day we r born u have ur islamic birthday i.e u r born on a certain islamic date is tht not right to celebrate??
wasalam
 
We should not celebrate birthdays as the prophet himself and the sahabas never celebrated it but instead used to fast that day.
 
I was wondering if it is wrong to just congratulate sometbody with his/hers birthday???

Hmm, I guess if celebrating isn't good, then neither is congratulating them, but this is just my opinion....

Instead of saying congrats, you should remind them of how they should consider practicing their deen more since each year we are getting closer to death. Of course that person needs to be Muslim, if that's what your asking.

Birthdays?

Assalam-u-Alaikum
What do the majority of muslim scholars say about celebrating birthdays?
Thanking you in appreciation
take care
Assalam-u-alaikum
 
ASalam o Alikom every one!

uhmmmmm....No harm in it celebrating it in dignified way..but we shouldn't do it religiously/meaning not make it a must!! I think we should remember the day we were born as how helpless and worthless we were and be thankful to Allah SWT for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us...
and mark it as one less year to the meeting of our Allah SWT. No one should ever forget the day of it's creation ...
but again it's just my opinion! :)

wasalam
 
Birthdays are haram.as 1 year of your life is gone.just think u r 19 u celebrate birthday with party etc,and follwing year your death is written at the age of 20.that is why we should cry on birthdays as 1 year of your life is gone
 
Salam to all...m a new member, i juz wanna clarify smth...Rasul SAW had said that we, Muslims will fast 2 days in Muharram since the Jews fast 1 day in Muharram, n he said we'll fast 1 more day to differentiate from the Jews. so now, izit wrong to celebrate bdays not in the form of celebration, but recite some Duas, then distribute the cakes(without any candles)? thiz iz diff from wad the non-Muslims do right? izit ok or its still bida'ah? I need a reply asap regardin thiz plz...Jazakallah Khair.
 
^I would say it's bid'ah. The prophet never did anything of that kind. Allahu A'lam

I keep telling my family not to celebrate birthdays but they don't listen grrr. I came home one day and found everyone hiding in my living room, video camera at the ready, shouting "Surpriseeeeeeee". Damn right I was surprised! So much that it freaked me out and I ran to my bedroom and locked the door and burst out crying lololol. After that particular surprise, I give them my own surprises by never being home on my b'day hehehehe ;D

Plus I hate birthdays cuz I'm always skint when it's someones birthday. I'm soooo glad muslims shouldn't celebrate them. What a waste of money when there are so many people starving in the world :sister:

to Nawal89:

when the Prophet sallalaho allahay wassalam
arrived in Madeenah he saw the Jews fasting (on this
day), so when he asked them (about this), they said:
"Certainly, this is the day when Allaah made Moosaa
victorious and destroyed Fir'own". So the Prophet
said: (We have more of a right to Moosaa than you). So
he fasted (that day) and ordered it to be fasted.
(Sahih Muslim vol. 1 pg.359)

hope u now understand the point i mentioned earlier...
