In this powerful reminder, the speaker explains the Prophetic guidance regarding the birth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and contrasts the Sunnah with the annual celebration known as the Mawlid. The Prophet ﷺ was asked about fasting on Monday, and he replied: “That is the day on which I was born, and the Qur’an was revealed to me on it.” — Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim So what does this ḥadīth teach us about how the birth of the Prophet ﷺ should be remembered? Why did the Prophet ﷺ single out Monday? And why is the Sunnah of fasting on Mondays largely forgotten while the annual Mawlid celebration has become widespread? The speaker highlights the importance of following what the Messenger ﷺ legislated, rather than introducing new forms of worship in the name of loving and venerating him. A beneficial reminder concerning the Mawlid, the Sunnah, and the true way of honouring the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
