By Dauda Nalado. The night session lecture was delivered by Dr Mu’azu on Significance of Maulid Celebration, he stood for Khalifa Ali Abul Fatahi of Maiduguri.
The chairman of the occasion, Malam Mustapha Lawal Nasidi from Potiskum, introduced the speaker. The topic presented was ‘Significance of Maulud Celebration’. Dr Muazu started by examining the literal and the technical meanings of the word ‘Maulud” Technically, Maulud is an avenue where Muslims organize and execute a program that involves narrations, discourses and celebrations on the teachings and qualities of the Holy Prophet (S) with a view to emulate such in their life endeavours. In addition, it serves to express gratitude to Allah (T) for bestowing to human kind, the ‘Mercy to the creations’.He emphasized that the significance of the birth of Muhammad (S) cannot be overemphasized. He quoted the renowned scholar Busiriy in his Hamziyya and alburda poetry where he mentioned the miracles that happened in the course of the birth of the Prophet. These include, among others, the fall of the throne of Persian Emperor and the extinction of the fire being worshipped.
Dr Muazu then briefly discussed the history of the prophet (S). He then made a lengthy discourse on the ethical behaviors of the Prophet. He urged Muslims to emulate such because they are perfect models as affirmed by the Qur’an. Furthermore he mentioned economic and political benefits associated with Maulud. He said that it is during Maulud deliberations that the travails undergone by the Ahlul Bayt (the progeny of the Prophet) after his death were examined.
The speaker stressed the importance of truthfulness and trust in our society. He noted with dismay how the Muslims delve into abominable things that are contrary to the teachings of the Noble Prophet (S).
Speaking on the authenticity of holding Maulud sessions, Dr Muaz said that it could be deduced from the fasting conducted by the prophet each Monday, the day of his birth, that the prophet was the one who instituted Maulud. In Usul, the root of every act is halal unless a prohibition came against it. Hence holding Maulud (Anniversary of the birth of the Prophet (S)) is highly significant.
