The Ulama of Deoband have recently initiated Seerat Jalsahs during the month of Rabiul Awwal when the Barelwis organize their meelaad celebrations.

Answer

The seerat jalsahs which are nowadays being organized are haraam bid'ah acts. They are Tashabbuh bi Ahli Bid'ah (imitating the people of Bid'ah), and Israaf (waste). These newly innovated practices illustrate the Ilmi bankruptcy of the present-day molvis. Unable to neutralize the stupid arguments of the Bid'atis with knowledge, they have decided to follow the Bid'atis in their acts of corruption.
