So, now then, we
say to those who insist on celebrating the Prophet's
birthday.... with clear proof not to distinguish between the
Prophets... why don't you celebrate ALL the Prophet's
birthday's? Like Jesus'? You can do it on Dec. 25th or pick
another date if you want. Oh, I see, you know better than to
celebrate Jesus' birthday?? Maybe the reasons you shouldn't be
celebrating Jesus' birthday, are the same reasons not to
celebrate Muhammad's birthday?
But when He gave them a Sālih (good in every aspect) child, they
ascribed partners to Him (Allāh) in that which He has given to them.
High be Allāh, Exalted above all that they ascribe as partners to Him. (Tafsir
At-Tabarī, Vol.9, Page 148).
Clear proof. But some call it "love" to go beyond what they were
commanded.
Excessive praise of a person is forbidden. It falls into shirk quickly.
Doing anything in excess of what we were commanded to do, is exceeding
the limits and oppressing oneself.
Hadith - Tirmidhi #417
A desert Arab came to Allah's Apostle and asked him about ablution. He
demonstrated (washing each part of his body) thrice, and then said: That
is (the method) of the ablution. And he who does more than this has done
wrong, transgressed the limit and has oppressed (himself).
