چکیده:
Celebrating the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) is one of the ceremonies common in Islamic society, where many Muslims participate in this program and even donate wealth in gratitude for his birth. Ibn Taymiyyah, with a specific interpretation of 'Sunnah' and 'Bid'ah' (innovation), opposes the performance of these ceremonies by considering them as innovations due to the 'lack of attention from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) to this celebration' and the 'lack of attention from the Salaf to performing this ceremony despite the presence of requirements and the absence of obstacles,' classifying this ceremony as an instance of Bid'ah; to the extent that he has considered the organizers of this celebration to be innovators in religion and disbelievers. However, by relying on the noble verses of the Quran and also reliable Hadith sources, it becomes clearly evident that Ibn Taymiyyah's claim is baseless; because based on the verses that consider the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) as a 'Mercy to the worlds' and obligate us to show gratitude and joy because of this divine mercy, and also by relying on reliable Hadith sources, it is proven that rejoicing because of the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) is a good and praiseworthy matter. Narrations such as the narration of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) fasting on Mondays, the narration of the reduction of Abu Lahab's punishment due to freeing 'Thuwaybah' because of announcing the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), and the narration of the fast of Ashura have proven the legitimacy of this act. Furthermore, the view and practice of scholars for many centuries has been to pay attention to holding the celebration of the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family). Many books have also been written to prove its legitimacy.

He has two claims for considering the celebration ceremonies as Bid'ah, which we will state: First claim: The Prophet's( lack of attention to this celebration Regarding Ihtifal bi Mawlid al-Nabi(, Ibn Taymiyyah believes: What is common among Muslims in terms of festivals and celebrations, the Prophet( did not do; rather, he forbade it.
" Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani has considered this narration as evidence for the legitimacy and recommendation of celebrating the birth of the Prophet(, whereby every year Muslims, in gratitude for the birth of the Prophet of Mercy(, engage in the recitation of the Quran and remembrance (dhikr) on a specific day.
Since holding the celebration of the birth of the Prophet( is among the matters that Muslims pay attention to it and perform it, it can be claimed that it is pleasing to God. Ibn Taymiyyah has also stated: «إن ما ثبت حسنه فلیس من البدع»; (whatever is proven to be good is not from the innovations).
Al-Suyuti has stated elsewhere: The essence of the act of Mawlid al-Nabawi, in which a group of Muslims gather and engage in the recitation of verses, praise of the Prophet(, and feeding others, is a good innovation (bid'ah hasanah) that has been introduced into the religion, and reward is given to its performer; because this matter leads to the veneration of the status of the Prophet( and the expression of happiness due to his birth.
