Al-Imam Al-Hafidh Jalaluddeen As-Suyuti RA, one of the greatest scholars of Islam says in Al-Hawi Lil Fatawa: “To commemorate the Mawlid, which is basically gathering people together, reciting parts of the Qu'ran, narrating stories about the Prophet's birth and the signs that accompanied it, then serving food, and afterwards, departing, is one of the good innovations; and the one who practices it gets rewarded, because it involves venerating the status of the Prophet and expressing joy at his honourable birth.”

The Beloved Prophet of Allah SAW

Allah SWT says in the Holy Qur'aan: [Verily, Allah and His angels send salutations upon the Holy Prophet. Oh You who have faith! Send salutations upon him and greet him with all respect.]

Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SAW said: "Whosoever sends one salutation upon me, Allah sends ten salutations upon that person."

Our beloved Prophet SAW is the closest Wasilah (means of closeness) for us to Allah SWT, and emulating his example as best as possible is the best way to honour him.
