Privately Work on Personal Virtue & Wisdom without Needing External Validation
🔘 Al Khattābī (d. 388 AH رحمه الله) said:
قَالَ بَعْضُ الْحُكَمَاءِ: إِنَّمَا يَسْتَوْحِشُ الْإِنْسَانُ بِالْوَحْدَةِ لِخَلَاءِ ذَاتِهِ وَعَدَمِ الْفَضِيلَةِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ
Some wise men have said: "A person only feels discomfort in solitude because of the emptiness within themselves and the lack of virtue in their soul.
فَيَتَكَثَّرُ حِينَئِذٍ بِمُلَاقَاةِ النَّاسِ وَيَطْرُدُ الْوَحْشَةَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، بِالْكَوْنِ مَعَهُمْ
Thus, they seek to fill this void by interacting with others, driving away their loneliness by being in the company of people.
فَإِذَا كَانَتْ ذَاتُهُ فَاضِلَةً طَلَبَ الْوَحْدَةَ لِيَسْتَعِينَ بِهَا عَلَى الْفِكْرَةِ وَيَتَفَرَّغَ لِاسْتِخْرَاجِ الْحِكْمَةِ.
However, if a person possesses virtue within themselves, they will seek solitude to aid in reflection and to devote themselves to the pursuit of wisdom."
وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: الِاسْتِئْنَاسُ بِالنَّاسِ مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ الْإِفْلَاسِ.
And some of them said: "Finding comfort in the company of others is a sign of bankruptcy."

We don't celebrate the Prophet's birthday ﷺ because:
● There's not a single Āyah in the Qurʿān endorsing this celebration.
● There's not a single ḥadīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ endorsing this celebration, whether authentic or inauthentic.
● There's not a single Athar from any of the Companions regarding this celebration, whether authentic or inauthentic.
● The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not celebrate it during his lifetime, nor did any of his Companions or family members establish it for him.
● This celebration was non-existent during the lifetime of the four rightly guided Caliphs (Abū Bakr, ’Umar, ’Uthmān and ’Ali).
● It was non-existent during the lifetime of the four great Imāms (Abū Ḥanīfah, Mālik, Shāfi’ē and Aḥmad).
● It was non-existent during the lifetime of the first three generations; concerning whom the Prophet ﷺ said:
((خيرُ الناس قَرْنِي، ثم الذين يَلُونَهُم، ثم الذين يَلُونَهُم))
“The best generation is my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them.”
As such, we say as Imām Mālik raḥimahullāh said:
ما لم يكُن يومئذ دِينًا، فلن يكون اليوم دِينًا.
“Whatever was not part of the religion then, will not be part of the religion today.”
💡We know for sure that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not pass away until Allāh had completed the religion and perfected the blessing upon him, as Allāh said:
{الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا}
“Today I have perfected for you your religion, and completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as a religion.”
💡And he ﷺ warned us against innovating new practices into the religion, as he ﷺ said:
((مَن أَحدثَ في أَمرِنا هذا ما ليس مِنه، فهو رَدٌّ)).
“Whoever introduces into this matter of ours something that is not part of it, will have it rejected.”
▪️ In summary, those who permit/celebrate the Prophet’s birthday have no evidence whatsoever from the Qurʿān, Sunnah, Consensus, action of the Companions, or correct analogy (Qiyās).
And if you are still in doubt, then please answer the following four questions:
1️⃣ Is celebrating the Prophet's birthday an act of obedience or disobedience?
▪️ If you say it is an act of disobedience, the discussion ends here.
▪️ And if you say it is an act of obedience, then move onto the next question:
2️⃣ Did the Prophet ﷺ know about this act of obedience or was he ignorant of it?
▪️I don't think you will accuse the Prophet ﷺ of ignorance; because this is Kufr. Hence the discussion ends here.
▪️But if you say he knew about it, then we move onto the next question:
3️⃣ If he knew about it, did he ﷺ convey it to his Ummah?
▪️ I don't think you will accuse the Prophet ﷺ of concealing part of the message while Allāh ﷻ has said:
{يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ}
“O Messenger, convey what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and if you do not do so, then you have not conveyed His message.”
▪️ And if you say he conveyed it, then we say, where is the evidence?
If you produce some evidence, then we move onto the final question:
4️⃣ Is it conceivable that the first three generations of this Ummah were ignorant of these evidences while you are more knowledgeable than them?! Or did they know about it and avoid acting upon it, but you were guided to act upon it?!
We ask Allāh ﷻ, Lord of the Great Throne, to guide us all to the truth and the straight path. May Allāh’s peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet and Messenger, Muḥammad ibn ’Abdullah, his family, his companions, his wives, and whoever follows his guidance until the Day of Judgment.

It’s one of the oldest and toughest questions anyone can ask: If Allah is All-Powerful and All-Merciful, why is there so much suffering in the world? Why do earthquakes happen? Why do innocent people get sick? Why do wars break out?
This question, often called “The Problem of Evil,” has puzzled people for centuries. For a believer, it can sometimes shake their faith. But what if the way we see the world is just a small part of a much bigger picture? Islamic teachings offer profound insights that can help our hearts find peace.

When you pray, it feels like someone rushing not to miss a flight. By the end of the day, you’re left wondering why the sweetness of Iman isn’t there.
