Different scholars staged their views about Milad-Un-Nabi below:
- Ibn Tay’ miah in his book “Necessity of the Right Path” published by Dar-Al-Hadith, wrote: “As far as what people do during Milad, either as a rival celebration to that which the Christians do during the time of Christ’s birthday…….Allah Almighty will surely rewarded them for such IJ’tiha.”
- “Imam Al-Hafiz Al-Iraqi wrote a book and called it;”The Pure Spring on the Subline Birth”.
- Imam Ibn Dahyah wrote a book called “Enlightenment on the Birthday of the Bearer of Good News, the Warner”, etc.
- “And the Some peace on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I would be raised alive”. (Kanzul Imam the translation of Holy Quran, Sura Al Maryam, Verse 33).
