Al-Sadr: Prophet's Birthday Celebrations a Duty
The leader of the Iraqi Shiite Nationalist Movement, Sayyed Muqtada al-Sadr, emphasized that rejoicing in the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is an obligation, not merely permissible. He considered that celebrating the Prophet's birthdays is a transformative matter that is completed by understanding the significance of his birth and firmly believing in the obligation to express happiness about it. During his Friday sermon, he stated that the Prophet's birth is the light of God manifested in the most beautiful form, and that rejoicing in it should be among fundamental matters. He expressed his astonishment at those who celebrate Moses' salvation on Ashura but do not celebrate the Prophet's birth. Al-Sadr's comments come in conjunction with the celebrations across the Islamic world for the Prophet's birthday, amidst controversy over some fatwas that prohibit celebrating this occasion.
