On the 25th of November 2008 a lecture was delivered at Bradford University by Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) delivered a lecture titled: Is Differing a Mercy & what should the Ummah Unify Upon?
At the end of that lecture, he (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) was asked numerous questions. One of those question was about the Ahlul-Suffah, those people who embraced Islam but had nowhere to live, so they lived in the masjid. As a discussion developed. The issue of celebrating of the mawlid of the prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) became part of the discussion.
Here is that extremely beneficial detailed discussion.
May Allah enable us to benefit from what we hear, Aameen.
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
