[SJ] Umdat As Salik Wa ‘Idah Al Nasik / عمدة السالك وعدة الناسك

In this book, is an explicit CLARIFICATION of the MAJOR DOUBTS raised by the proponents of Mawlid an-Nabi, including:

• Mawlid an-Nabi is honoring the Prophet.
• Mawlid an-Nabi is celebrated by a large number of the people in many towns and cities.
• Commemorating Mawlid an-Nabi renews the memories of the Prophet.
• Celebration of Mawlid an-Nabi is cut of love for the Prophet and an expression of ones love, which is permissible.
• Mawlid an-Nabi is a Bidah Husna (good innovation) because it is a means of showing gratitude towards Allah for sending the Prophet.
• The sayings of Umar, ‘What a good Bidah is this?’

Additional quotes by Shaikh Muhammad ibn Ibraheem Aal-Shaikh have been added to further clarify these issues. The booklet also as 2 valuable appendixes:

Appendix 1: Explanation of the Hadeeth,”He, who established/initiates a Sunnah Husna in Islam.” in the word o Shaikh Saleh al-Fawzan and Shaikh Muhammad ibn al-Uthaimeen (rahimahullah)

Appendix 2: A Dialogue between Shaikh al-Albani (rahimahullah) and a proponent of Mawlid.
