The adherents of moulood customs contend that Moulood is permissible even according to Allaamah Suyuti (rahmatullah alayh) and Haji Imdaadullah (rahma

Answer

People of bid'ah do not think with their Aql (intelligence). They think with their emotions, hence they are unable to understand that Islam is what Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah taught. We follow the Islam which has reached us by reliable transmission from the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah.

People of bid'ah wish us to follow scholars who appeared on the scene many centuries after Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), while they refuse to follow the Sunnah of the Sahaabah who were the Students and Companions of the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to whom Islam was revealed. Whilst we accept the seniority of Allaamah Suyuti (rahmatullah alayh) and Haji Imdaadullah (rahmatullah alayh), we respectfully state with emphasis that among the Proofs of the Shariah there is no such concept as 'Allaamah Suyuti' (rahmatullah alayh) or 'Haji Imdaadullah' (rahmatullah alayhim). If they erred, it does not follow that we should follow their errors. We do not follow the errors, obscurities and personal practices of the Scholars. We follow what the Shariah teaches us. We are followers of Imaam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullah alayh), not the followers of Scholars who appeared on the scene of history seven centuries after Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Islam, according to the Qur'aan, was completed and perfected during the very lifetime of the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). There never were any moulood practices during Quroon-e-Thalaathah (the first three noble eras of Islam).

The Shariah does not require us to follow Allaamah Suyuti or anyone else who had their own personal views and practices. But we are under Shar'i compulsion to follow the Sahaabah and the Aimmah-e-Mujtahideen. Those who disagree with our stance on Moulood are required to respond to our arguments on the basis of the Four Proofs of the Shariah, not with the views and practices of Ulama who came a thousand years after Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). They simply have no rational explanation and no Shar'i refutation for our arguments, hence they resort to stupid emotionalism.
