Brother Ali and Asim are two brothers who love the Messenger of Allah, but they don't celebrate the Mawlid. What should we do about it? Should we at least be brothers? Is it wrong to celebrate it?
00:00:00.000As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu brothers and sisters and dear friends,
00:00:28.180hope you guys are doing well. Before I start, I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:00:31.920the most merciful, the most just, all praises, glory and gratitude belong to Him for the works that we do.
00:00:37.460Now brothers and sisters, as you guys know, I want to get straight into it and I want you guys to listen to me,
00:00:41.580please carefully, for the sake of Allah, without judgment. Today, with this video, let's put our judgments to our side.
00:00:46.120Let's not think, okay, that's brother Ali, Ta'waman's friend, the Wahhabi, the Wobblers, this, that.
00:00:52.880Wallahi, for the sake of Allah, let's put that to our side. I'm coming to you and want to speak to you as a brother.
00:00:57.440Wallahi, I want to speak to you from a heart-to-heart level. For those who celebrate the Mawlid and for those who don't celebrate the Mawlid,
00:01:04.960you guys are my brothers and my sisters. We might differ. Look, we might differ. I don't celebrate it.
00:01:10.800Personally, I don't celebrate it. I have my reasons, I have my evidences, which I believe is strong to what I have seen, right?
00:01:18.080I don't believe it. But brothers and sisters, let's not make this a reason that when you see me, or when I see you,
00:01:26.520you say, oh, I'm not even going to give salam to a brother, or I'm not going to give salam to him because he's celebrating this.
00:01:31.480Wallahi, we shouldn't do this. Imam Shafi said that even though we differ on a certain matter,
00:01:37.860can't we at least be brothers? Can't we at least be brothers?
00:01:43.420So this is the reason why I want this video, inshallah, to reach brother Asim.
00:01:48.180And obviously, brother Imran will be watching this.
00:01:51.160And the reason why I will be addressing both of the brothers,
00:01:55.480in a way, not that, like, they are both much more knowledgeable than me.
00:01:59.920And I'm just a little guy without no knowledge, believe me, and I'm not saying this to be humble in any way.
00:02:05.320I barely studied it. I barely studied the deen. I try my best, but that's another topic.
00:02:10.900And I just want to address this issue because Imran is a brother of mine, he's a friend of mine.
00:02:16.040And in the times that I went through in my life, when I was kicked out of my house,
00:02:19.320when I first came to Islam, may Allah bless him, he looked after me.
00:02:22.560And I will never forget that. He's my brother and I love him.
00:02:24.680Wallahi, I love him. As much as brother Asim, you're a brother of mine.
00:02:28.960If I see you on the street, Wallahi, by Allah, I will come, I will salam you, I will talk to you.
