Do you know what Prophet Mohammad ﷺused to do on the day of his birth? Let’s find out from a hadith.
Narrated from Abu Qataadah al-Ansaari (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about fasting on Mondays and he said:
“On (that day) I was born and on it Revelation came down to me.”
(Sahih Muslim: 1162)
This is how he used to “celebrate” it by doing shukr of Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) and fasting every single Monday throughout the whole year!
Now, prove yourself to be a true follower of the Prophet ﷺ by fasting on every Monday (regardless of specific week, month or year) rather than celebrating it the way people celebrate it nowadays once a year which is nothing but innovation!
كلَّ بدعةٍ ضلالةٌ وكلَّ ضلالةٍ في النارِ
every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire.’
(Sunan an-Nasa’i 1578)
