Maulid Two imprtant points should considered here:
1. Bid'ah Hasnah means that a sunnah which has been neglected by the people and someone revived it such as Omar Ibn Al-Khattab when he made the people to pray Sataut-Taraeeh together in Jama'ah. He did not innovate that, he just revived the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which has been neglected. So we cannot innovate or just insert anything in the religion and call it Bid'ah Hasanah (Innovation of Guidance).
2. The birth date and day of the Prophet (peace be upon him) has not been authentically established. What has been established is the date of his death 12 Rabi'ul-Awwal, which means that we are celebrating the death of the Prophet (peace be upon him) not his birth.

The Ruling on Celebrating the Birthday of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
The Ruling on Celebrating the Birthday of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Assalamu Alaikum Firstly: There is no festival in Islamic sharee’ah that is called “The Prophet’s Birthday”. Neither the Sahaabah nor the Taabi’een nor the four imams nor anyone else recognized such a day as part of their religion. Rather this festival was introduced by some ignorant Baatini innovators, then the people began to follow this innovation but the imams have denounced it in every time and place. Secondly: Based on this, everything that the people do specially for this day is regarded as haraam, innovated actions, because they intend thereby to keep alive a festival that has been introduced into our religion, such as holding parties, offering food and so on. Shaykh al-Fawzaan said in al-Bayaan li Akhta’ ba’d al-Kuttaab (268-270): The commands in the Qur'aan and Sunnah to follow that which has been prescribed by Allah and His Messenger and the prohibition against introducing innovations into the religion are well known.

For a believer, the scope of patience is not limited to enduring difficulties and problems with calmness. In the light of the verse, [You who believe, be steadfast; be supreme in steadfastness… ] (Aal `Imran 3:200), throughout his life, he shows an undeviating commitment to meticulously fulfilling all the commands of the Qur’an, to avoiding what is unlawful, to displaying moral perfection in every situation, without becoming daunted or losing heart. In short, he resolutely shows the patience and good manners prescribed by the religion. That is because one can develop these noble character traits only if one makes a steady effort. It is the people of faith who exhibit patience when making such efforts. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) informed Muslims in the following hadith, they know that patience is a gift for them from Allah: “No-one can be given a better and more abundant gift than patience” (Bukhari and Muslim). That is why patience permeates the entire ... >>Click Here For Full Article...
The Prophet's Treatment of his Wives Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) dealt justly with his wives, loved them, fondled them, and was patient and loyal with them. His actions sprang from a feeling of responsibility and because Allah the Almighty has created him righteous and equitable by nature. Lady A'isha said that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) never preferred one wife more than the others and used to see them all in their homes everyday although he used to spend the night with one only. Treating his wives with equity never changed according to the change in his conditions. Whether he was traveling or present he was equitable. When he wanted to travel he used to pick without personal preference (through some way like drawing straws) which wife to accompany him. He used to spend one day and one night with each wife except when Lady Sauda Bint Zam'a reached old age and no longer had sexual desires she dedicated her day and ... >>Click Here For Full Article...
The explanation of the first two verses of Suratil-Qiyamah
Please read the explanation of the first two verses of Suratil-Qiyamah as follows: The Oath about the Final Return on the Day of Resurrection and the Refutation against the Plots of the Thinkers It has been mentioned previously on more than one occasion that if the thing that is being sworn about is something that is being negated, then it is permissible to use the word "La'' (Nay) before the oath to emphasize the negation. Here, what is being sworn about is the affirmation of the final abode and the refutation against the claim of the ignorant that the resurrection of bodies will not occur. This is why Allah says, [لاَ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ - وَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ ] (Nay! I swear by the Day of Resurrection. And nay! I swear by An-Nafs Al-Lawwamah.) Qatadah said, "This means, I swear by both of these things.'' This has also been reported from Ibn `Abbas and Sa`id bin Jubayr. Concerning the Day of Judgement, it is well known ... >>Click Here For Full Article...
