Mawlid an-Nabi
While I acknowledge the Mawlid an-Nabi as a historically rooted expression of love that can foster communal unity—an aim profoundly in line with the Quranic imperative to "hold firmly to the rope of Allah and do not be divided" (Quran 3:103)—its practice remains a matter of personal conscience, for the true perfection of the Deen is found not in our additions, but in our sincere submission to the Divine, free from the divisive arrogance of considering any single group as its sole gatekeeper.
