“It is mentioned by some that the first to author [a work] on the Prophetic Birth was Abu al Khaṭṭāb Ibn Diḥyah al Kalbī who passed away in the year 633H and the mawlid was named: “al Tanwīr min Mawlid al Sirāj al Munīr”. He presented it to the King of Irbil, al Muẓaffar,…
…who celebrated the night of his Mawlid ﷺ and day, a celebration that was never heard in such a scale. Thus, he was granted a tremendous reward.

It is not so, rather, there are many who wrote a mawlid before Abu al Khaṭṭāb Ibn Diḥyah. The first that I know of who wrote…
…on it was Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al Wāqidī, the author of al Maghāzī and al Futūḥ, who passed away in the year 206H, or it is said 209H. And he had two books in this topic: “al Mawlid al Nabawī” and “Intiqāl al Nūr al Nabawī”, both of which are quoted by al Suhaylī in…
…sections of al Rawḍ [al Unuf]. And amongst those who wrote on the Mawlid from those who preceded was al Ḥāfidh Abū ʿAbdiLlāh Muḥammad b. ʿĀʾidh, the author of the famous Sīrah, who passed away in the year 233H; as well as al Ḥāfidh Abū Bakr b. Abī ʿĀṣim, the author…
…of many works, who passed away in the year 287H.”
— al Ḥāfidh, al Sayyid Aḥmad ibn al Ṣiddīq al Ghumārī raḥimahuLlāh, Juʾnat al ʿAṭṭār

The Particularity of the Prophet ﷺ being the First of the Prophets in Creation, the Precedence of His Prophethood, and the Taking of the Covenant upon Him ﷺ | Excerpts from Imām Jalāl al Dīn al Suyūṭī’s al Khaṣāʾiṣ al Kubrā

#TheSpringOfLight #Mawlid1443H
① Ibn Abī Ḥātim in his tafsīr and Abū Nuʿaym in al Dalāʾil [al Nubuwwah], from the path of Qatādah, from al Ḥasan [al Baṣrī], from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ on His verse ﷻ «And [remember] when We took a covenant from the prophets…» [33:7], he ﷺ said: “I was…
…the first of the prophets in the creation and the last of them to be sent.” He begins with them before them.

② Abū Sahl al Qaṭṭān in a portion of his works, from Sahl b. Ṣāliḥ al Hamadānī who said: “I asked Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad [al Bāqir] b. ʿAlī: ‘How did Muḥammad ﷺ…

“Do not curse ʿAlī!”
From Sayyidunā ʿAbduLlāh ibn ʿAbbās raḍiya Allāhu ʿanh who said: “I heard the Emissary of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever curses ʿAlī, indeed, he has cursed me. And whoever curses me, indeed, he has cursed Allāh. And whoever curses Allāh, Allāh will place him into the fire of Jahannam…
…on his nose.”

[Abū Ḥafṣ al Mawṣilī, al Wasīlah; al Ḥākim, Mustadrak]

From Sayyidatinā Umm Salamah raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā who said: “I heard the Emissary of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever curses ʿAlī, indeed, he has cursed me. And whoever curses me, indeed, he has cursed Allāh.’”

medan ikhtilāf bukan medan orang ʿawwām.

“Adapun mengenai masalah cabang (furūʿ), akan saya katakan [pada orang awam]: Jangan disibukkan hati anda dengan perkara² khilāf selagimana anda belum mengamati sepenuhnya seluruh hal² yang telah disepakati bersama [oleh para aʾimmah]…”
— Ḥujjat al Islām, Imām Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al Ghazālī raḍiya Allāhu ʿanh, al Qisṭās al Mustaqīm
Shaykh Saʿīd al Kamalī al Mālikī ḥafidhahuLlāh pernah menceritakan bahawa seorang pemuda mengkafirkan seorang Imām masjid pertempatannya kerana melakukan duʿā qunūt yang dianggap olehnya adalah bidʿah munkarah.

ada beberapa sebab kenapa para ʿulamāʾ al Shāfiʿīyyah—dan ʿulamāʾ madhhab lain secara umumnya—tidak meletakkan dalīl di dalam kitab² permulaan, antaranya adalah:

① tidak mahu memperpanjangkan dan “mengeringkan” matn, membuat para mubtadiʿīn berasa jemu apabila mempelajarinya
② tiada keperluan untuk para mubtadiʿīn/orang ʿawwam untuk mengetahui dalīl kerana harus mereka mengetahui uṣūl madhhab sebelum berinteraksi dengannya

③ pandangan² di dalam kitāb² sudah ditarjih begitu banyak kali oleh para ʿulamāʾ dengan yaqīn, maka menjadi qaṭʿī hukumnya
④ tiada keperluan juga untuk para mubtadiʿīn/orang ʿawwam mengetahui khilāf diantara madhhab² kerana ia adalah perbincangan peringkat muntahī kerana setiap madhhab mempunyai uṣūlnya sendiri; ia tidak semudah mengetahui dalīl semata² yang lazim disalahanggap oleh orang ʿawwam

“Whoever has a need with Allāh ﷻ and wants it to be fulfilled, do tawassul to Allāh ﷻ by the pure Sayyidah Āminah bint Wahb, ʿalayhā ‘s-salām, the mother of our Master, the noblest of prophets ﷺ. She has a greatly tremendous secret that emanates…
…like the spread of fire to straw. And this is from the tested experience of mine and many others amongst humankind. This tremendous secret was shown to me by one of the pious. When I asked him about the secret of Sayyidah Āminah bint Wahb raḍiya Allāhu ʿanh, he said:…
…‘It suffices for her that Allāh ﷻ chose her amongst the womenfolk of this world to carry the Muḥammadan Light. Is there anything that could be said beyond that!’ I replied: ‘By the right of the Chosen One ﷺ, no!’ He continued: ‘Our Patron, the Emissary of Allāh ﷺ is…

to say that Islām isn’t the absolute truth shows that you’ve not dug deeper into the very science that establishes that: ʿilm al kalām.
many people think that ʿaqīdah is a “dry” science, relying solely on text. but, it has never been that.

this science demonstrates how logical (al ʿaqliyyah), textual (al naqliyyah), and cosmological (al kawnī) evidence are utilised to prove the truthiness and veracity of Islām.
Shaykh Ḥamza Karamali’s videos and courses are great introductions to this science, and his ongoing seminar on the Mawāqif of Imām ʿAḍud al Dīn al Ījī raḥimahuLlāh is an eye-opener.
