The Proof of the Meelaad Shareef from the Noble Qur'aan

The Proof of the Meelaad Shareef from the Noble Qur'aan

Allah Almighty Says:

لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Translation: Indeed there has come to you a Noble Messenger from among you, your falling into hardship aggrieves him, most concerned for your well being, for the Muslims most compassionate, most merciful. (Surah Taubah 9:128)

In this verse, Allah Almighty explicitly mentions the blessed advent of the Messenger of Allah and then describes His noble attributes. This is precisely the essence of Meelaad Shareef gatherings: to recall his blessed arrival from the unseen realm into the visible world and to extol his exalted qualities and perfections, whether expressed in prose or in poetry.

In short: this verse itself affirms the blessed coming, the Meelaadun-Nabi. Thus, it becomes clear that the celebration of Meelaad Shareef is firmly grounded in the Qur'aan and Hadith Shareef.
