I celebrate the day of my birth by getting on my knees and thanking GOD for making me important enough to create. i do not go around yelling it is my day of birth but rather be humble and grateful. No liquor or partying. I am Christian but also very interested in the muslim laws.
May Allah bless you, I'm a muslim and that's exactly what I do too. Be thankful for your life people because once Allah Creates a soul, it is for Eternity. subhaanAllah!
You want to celebrate, then celebrate, if you dont want to celebrate, keep it yo your self. The sheik is trying to give clarity on an issue that is misunderstood. May Allah bless him. He has done his best to clarify. Respect him for that
there’s nothing misunderstanding about it , all celebration are FORBIDDEN except for the two Eid’s, khalas, anything else - whether it’s “personal” [which makes no sense, islam governs ones life materialistically and spiritually, so excluding it from ‘personal’ makes no sense and is simply an excuse for the people of desires to justify their actions] or not is bid’ah. KHALAS.
JazakumuLLohu khaeran kaseeroh sister. U are such a blessing to islam. As simple as that. U don't have to condemn any 1. If u want to , do it. If u don't want , then let it be. Thanks sist.
You know how some Muslims have started celebrating Christmas and justifying it as "Just a holiday" or that so their kids won't get left out? Imagine how normal it'll be for their children in a few generations. Then there will be a group of scholars who will say "Yeah it's fine to celebrate Christmas as long as it's celebrated just as a holiday and not for religious reasons". 🤷♀️ 🤔🙈
I assume ur tryna indicate that the man in the video is wrong right. If so can u provide ur reasoning. I haven’t arrived at a conclusion yet and would like to explore the different arguments before finally resting on an answer.
Absolutely. The first thing that popped into my mind was exactly this, Christmas and other pagan celebrations. It seems like a huge misdirected to compare birthdays or other pagan celebrations to celebrating wedding anniversaries. Even with my limited knowledge I can sense huge conflict with this videos. I've recently begone to research Yasir Qadhi, to try to understand which Islamic influencers are worth following and whom are genuinely sincere. Soo far I have found both Yasir Qadhi and Omar Suleiman to be a bit strange. Just my opinion based on my comparisons with other influencers with my limited knowledge. InshaAllah, the truth will prevail.
@@user-oy3hp7gv5n Celebrating Birthdays comes from Greeks and Pharaoh. It was a Celebration of Worship. Look it up. Greeks celebrated ritual to honor the goddess Artemis, the female archetype associated with childbirth, wildlife, and the moon. This is not only innovation But a form of Shirk too There is a Authentic Hadith Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.” Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134 Muslims are to celeberate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
If the best of people never did it. Why are we doing it? Birthdays are such a big deal in today’s society that children feel entitled to it. It is embedded in their life that they look forward to it more than eid. I’ve seen with my own eyes a couple got divorced because of it. If you ask me, it is another means that was created for economic gains. None-Muslims constantly creating new things to fill the void that only Allah can fill. I think this should of been more clear. He should of stressed that it doesn’t mean now wife’s run to their husband and tell them you must buy me something for my birthday. There are some people, like me for example, that told my wife that I don’t celebrate birthdays, and if she does something for the kids on their birthday she make sure and tell them that this is not something that your father does. I tell them it is not haram, however, what are we really celebrating. I’d rather celebrate them memorizing verses of the Quran. Or graduating from elementary, middle, and high school. That’s just me
For me I’m the same I can’t say it’s haram because the evidence against it is countered with evidence that it may be permitted but as you said if there was good in it the best of people would have done that, but I have non Muslim family members and then my wife follows the opinion it’s halal and for the kids and it becomes hard, i make it clear I don’t celebrate that but try not to make a conflict
In this matter i read Jehovah's witnesses points of view even they accept and forbid people from celebrating birthdays. They say its the pagan religious ritual which christians adopted. Its not bidaah i think its related to shirk and aqeedah of pagans even before christianity . Its mentioned in bible birthday was celebrated by Pharoah. Those who associate birthday celebration with prophet s.a.w 's fasting and say even prophet s.a.w celebrated are wrong because fasting is opposite of celebration. The day you fast you don't say we are celebrating fasting. The day you celebrate like eids fasting is forbidden. Fasting is total opposite of celebration and that fasting which prophet s.a.w did was on Mondays not annual . if someone wants to thank Allah one can fast on the day he or she was born which means if someone was on sunday he or she can fast on sundays regardless of month and date . I was unable to understand when he said even if the source is pagan that doesn't make a difference , i think if something comes from paganism having an aqeedah is different from pagan non religious culture such as food or clothing. Birthday celebration was a religious pagan practice which had some beliefs about their gods and bad omens etc. which they use to do it to ward of bad omen. The date month a person was born is very important even to those who practice black magic , its is important for hindu pandits from which they make kundlis which is used for marriages etc. In India the black magicians ask date of birth not the day of birth . There is a big difference between day and date which some muslims do not understand nor do they understand fasting is opposite of celebration. Its neither bidaah nor imitation of kuffar its adaptation of a religious rituals which existed before isa a.s. Date of birth wasn't important at all during prophet s.a.w times or else sahabas would know the exact date when prophet s.a.w was born? there wouldn't be any differences amongst the muslims which we all know there is , nobody knows exactly when prophet s.a.w was born? some say 9th some say 12th rabiul awwal and there are many more dates . Had the date of birth been so important muslim new year would have started on the day prophet s.a.w was born like christians . prophet s.a.w would have celebrated his grandson's birthdays whom he loved so much nor did sahabas celebrate their own birthdays. Seeing this shirk and aqeedah connection its better we should keep away from celebrating or attending or wishing birthdays. WallAhooaalam.
In Islam there are just 2 festivals, eid-ul-fitr and eid-ul-adha. If we are celebrating anything on an annual basis that is where I think the problem begins. Now if I’m celebrating something for example my graduation day, or if I got a job or something of that sort, there’s no restrictions in that. But, Allah has clearly indicated that for a believer there’s only 2 festivals. AND Allah knows best.
He answered that though, saying it depends on what it is now as it is no longer associated with paganism at all. Whether you think that’s a valid argument is a separate thing but that’s what needs to be addressed more than going back to what he’s already said
@@interactazharpharos used to celebrate birthdays as a way to worship themselves. It is within their scriptures. We are mimicking those who committed shirk.
He is an aylim from Madina university and highly educated MashaAllah. Just listen carefully to what he's trying explain. Yes that's correct that we should try to avoid things that the Prophet of Allah didn't do BUT if we are doing things in this day and age that are different like traveling in a car, wearing different clothes etc doesn't make it Haram.
Yes we will celebrate what the Prophet SAW celebrated also, Alhamdulillah What is Aqeeqa? It is birthday celebration And the Prophet SAW of course knew Muslims will be from all over the world and from all cultures so naturally Muslims will be celebrating many things common to their region and culture or families. The point is the Islamic celebrations are the two Eids! That Muslims from all over the world must celebrate and they shouldn’t celebrate other religious days of other religions. The rest is cultural, regional But the Prophet SAW did not stop us from celebrating personal happiness. Why would he, SAW, do that National days, independence days, and many others days are always celebrated. birthdays and anniversaries ( not death of course as we are to mourn only for three days) are not religious celebrations so it’s at our own discretion. What about your wedding? When you made your wife’s father pay for her own wedding dress and the wedding party, at that time, didn’t you feel ashamed? When you gave her a measly few hundreds of dollars as her dowry and took cash and gifts and party and clothing and furniture in return then you didn’t think about Islam????
That is the reason why seeking knowledge is compulsory to every Muslim. We dont have to be academically expert ot being theologian . Studying the fundamentals can be understood by all. The teaching of the prophet SWL would like us to be recognised as a Muslim . A true Muslim.
Assalamualaikum if we start celebrating birthdays and anniversaries it surely becomes israaf for people who cannot afford it atleast..... If we have 5 kids we cannot party 8 times it's almost impossible...... Rather if we stick to islamic celebrations of eids we can spend good on clothes and eid gifts.... Birthdays and anniversaries r extra burden for people who r hand to mouth. Our Deen is very easygoing and it wil not burden ne one.
Walaikum salaam I think what the shaykh is saying here is that it is permissible. That doesn’t make it mandatory, if in your case it would be a burden, you are of course free to abstain. Allahu Alim
@@TheMGLife you are correct. He's not saying you SHOULD do it, just that it's allowed. If it'll be too costly, then do something small like a card, or even a hug or something.
Thank Allah every day for every breath We don't know our last Day Dua after getting up in the morning taught by prophet muhammad pbuh - Praise be to Allah who gave me life after death and return is to Him Alone.
I am very sad to see how Dr Yasir Qadhi is playing this with his so called intellectual and knowledge. I have seen clearly, every few years he takes a new stance and come up with a new ruling. Rather watch Brother Uthman from one message foundation channel on this topic with evidence and proofs. No doubt Mr Qadhi is good in tafser OF QURAN but stay away from his deeper dive in islam.

I don't see the point of celebrating birthdays, honestly. It's not something unqiue. Literally every person alive has birthdays. So why celebrate something mundane like that?
yh I agree, it’s a useless practice and very depressing especially if you treat it like one special perfect day. I truly believe it should only be for children once you hit a certain age it’s just childish
@@abdulbar8592 he’s trying to make the point that birthdays are insignificant and we shouldn’t even care much if we lose them.

@@abdulbar8592 however I haven’t fully formed an opinion on whether I think bdays are haram or not. I don’t think there’s enough evidence yet that I have seen that a bday w out haram practices involved is haram.
Subhanallah.... Islam is complete ..... I don’t want to add any new celebrations to it... my prophet doesn’t want me follow what other religions do.... he always wanted islam to be practised
Giving gifts are always good things and Islam promotes it.... but why should you wait for birthdays or anniversaries for that.... you should do it on any other days...
Its like the weekends. Ur feelings when weekends is nearing is different from any other day. So marking out a particular day or date to relive ur year memories is fine and nth religious abt it. Like the sheikh said, the religion teaches us to show love to our husband and wife so some wanna do it everyday or once a year its thier choice
Good for you Syaikh didnt say you should cellebrate birthday, in fact if ypu see the whole video he mention that he grow up never cellebrate his birthday
If celebrating birthday is a good thing to do then our Prophet Muhammad would surely celebrate his birthday other than fasting. It means we are allowed to celebrate it thru fasting so those who are fan of celebrating their birthday just do it in a Prophetic way, fast too when it is your birthday! I'm sure you would no longer insist on celebrating your birthday in that way.
It depends on how u celebrate ur birthday. If there is dancing and alcohol involved than its haram. Its alright if u spend time with ur family and go out for dinner at a halal restaurant theres nothing wrong in that.
Omg no. Don't make fiqhi judgements without understanding fiqh. Why recommend to people to make fewer things permissible without any reasoning? The comments on this video are so unbelievably uninformed
@@hassanabdaladl Sorry brother, If I hurt you or anyone. My comment was regarding confusion celebrating such event which is practiced by chrishtains. And, we have hadith not to resemble traditions like non believers.. And, one more, if we are suspicious regarding anything especially related to deen, we should avoid it. Is anything wrong in it..? Why we are so concerned about celebrating birthdays?? We have plenty of reasons to be happy & to celebrate.. Alhamdulillah!
i dont get the point of celebrating birthdays it's patting yourself on your bacl "well done fella, you made it through the years" but you forget that you made it through only cus of god's grace i think ppl celebrate it just because it gives them a reason to celebrate who doesnt like having fun
حسبنا الله و نــِـعم الوكيل Birthday is not an Islamic festival. There are many others way u can celebrate and name festivals with ur own terms and conditions. Don’t follow the footsteps of shaitan.
Birthday is a festival from pagans so when you repeat that it becomes a ritual, yes it is biddah because people have made it milaad and religious with grave worshipping and stealing from Muslims. This guy is misleading ppl!
@@fattestmanintheworld5081 He rejects most of what he learned in medina so you drop that, if he were to say this to any of his shoyokh in medina they will disown him, he is into his yale professors who are orientalists ,so if you want the path of hell fire follow him, Islam is not subject to yours or YQ's logic ,either you follow what the prophet and sahaba left and stick to it wich is the right path, or follow the of shaytan .
@@MahboobIslam Hmmm bro you no what am talking about before we didn't no anything about it the Christians use to celebrate the birthday of Christ "son of God" their Lord so thats something to do with religion, before that it was of paganism & in Islam they let sooo many do it for some enjoyment but then brought milaad out from somewhere. Islam is a way of life & everything in our life suppose to have meaning or some purpose 😊
If you've stepped forward to make it Halal then there is no use of stating the misconceptions or discussing the points... We better know the level of your knowledge.

But the part where it is tashabuh with paganism is the blowing out the candles ritual. So maybe just avoid that part if you do choose to celebrate a birthday?
He said something increasing love between Husband and Wife , how this can be haram ? My question , Is Rasool Allah saw, chosen one particular day to express more love for wife/ or one particular day to give her gift etc ? The answer is NO..This is purely a western culture in my prospective. May Allah guide us to right path !
Rasulallah pbuh used to give his wife gifts everyday or any day or time he wanted and he could. So on that time I am sure people didn’t know about anniversaries and nowadays they celebrate their wedding day the day the got blessed with their spouses so why not to celebrate it because it makes you feel good and romantic too
Are you trying to say that something prophet Muhammad pbuh haven’t done is haram??prophet Muhammad pbuh haven’t used mobile phone and now you are using it ..that means are you doing haram??No way..Think wiser…something that isn’t prohibited by Prophet Muhammed pbuh can be done as halal..right?!!and don’t think like.. something that wasn’t practiced by Prophet Muhammad pbuh is haram.
@@Kipx99 the uniqueness of certain days is what makes an act special. Yes it is good to go above and beyond every single day but that is not realistic. Instead if this person makes a point that on her birthday, she will treat her with more care that is a good thing

He said do it in halal way...That means don't involve anything haram like alchohols,music,dancing and cake with candles in the celebration. For something to be haram in Islam it needs to be clearly stated in Al Quran and Shariyah. We do celebrate our prophets(peace be upon him) birth day.Even our prophet used to celebrate it by fasting that day. If i am wrong plz correct me.
@@KhanMDOmarFaruk Mohammed (saw) did not celebrate His (saw) birthday He (saw) fasted on Mondays because He was born on a Monday. This is not celebration, also if you are born on a Monday then next year your birthday will not be on a Monday. There are two celebrations in Islam and they are The two Eids. We should follow our prophet (saw) and also take lessons form his companions, have you ever heard them celebrating birthdays? Who knows the Deen better us or Them? Wallahi new Invented things brought into this Deen of ours is rejected, Allah will never accept it. Allah said "your Deen is complete". WE don't need any extras. May Allah Guide us and keep us far away from anything that doesn't benefit us. And Allah knows best.

Just a clarification, why the Noble Prophet and his righeous companions didn't celebrate any birthdays in their lives, though this "birthday" celebration phenomenon has been the practice of ancient people?...thanks
so i also have a question that prophet and his companion also did not use the name of the weeks that we are using neither di prophet and his companions wear shirt trousers so tashabbuh only happens in what is ibadah

@@electronial736 it seems doubtful, because the fact that birthday is a form of "celebration" and every Muslim knows for sure that in Islam, there's only "two allowed and official" - the two Eids- Eidl Adha and Eidl Fitri.. Brothers and sisters, let's be reminded that we are now in Akhir Zaman, where according to one of the sayings of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) . Among his ummah will struggle to justify haram/bidah things to be halal and the haram things will become halal or permissible..wallahu alam..
A bit shocked to hear what I have... but there have been a lot of things Yassir Qadhi has been saying lately that have not be correct. I for one would love to celebrate birthdays as I did so before.. everyone's parties, meals out, personalised cakes balloons you name it however, I refrain now completely have to say It's very hard getting the kids on board living in the west where it's hugely common and the norm. May Allah make it easy for us all to adhere to the commands of Allah and not bring into Islam that weren't there before. Anything that came after the death of the prophet saw is clearly an innovation. If birthdays were a thing the companions of the prophet and others would have been celebrating it unfortunately they didn't.
He didn't mention that lighting up candles on a crescent shaped cake was in fact a pagan ritual where they would pray to moon God Artemis to bless them with good life etc. It was originally a religious festival
So can celebrate my birthday with no candles signing and music my birthdays are always very small and quiet are try not to make it a big deal I’ve only had 3 parties because I hate parties
I thank you for the information specially like me whom still in my new path of being new muslim.. I just want to give thanks, for all the blessings throughout my year,, regardless of religions. So, im so happy that its still halal. As long as not doing some things to make it haram
Then according to you celebrating valentines day also neutral, jumma mubaarak, mothers day, fathers day, aulia Allah's birthday in a form of URS, milaad un nabi, etc... You are opening a lot of doors... What's what your view.... Fear Allah... Culture is different thing, and learning or speaking any language is different thing... Please say about Islam and Islamic culture rather than your personal opinion...we do not have any desire to do any personal advice... Keep your advice... I do not know what happened today's ulema, those people give more personal opinion or advice than what is the Qur'an and hadith says... God bless you brother...
Abida Begum No, but allocating a day to it does not make it haram. It’s not hurting anybody, just giving cause for celebration. You can choose to do so or not, there isn’t any harm

I am not sure if the Mr. Qadhi knows about the historical side of birthday celebration.;The Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon. ... Some scholars believe the tradition actually started in Germany, where a candle was supposedly placed on the cake to represent “the light of life”. Today, most western cultures celebrate birthdays with cake, lit candles and a birthday song. Birthday candles are said to hold symbolic power. In the past it was believed that evil spirits visited people on their birthdays and that, to protect the person whose birthday it was from evil, people must surround the individual and make them merry.

The Greeks had Rhea, the wife of Cronos, to praise, and from 250 BCE, the Romans honoured the Roman goddess Magna Mater According to ancient cultures, sky fathers were (are) refer to sky gods who were looked upon as “fathers.” And I state this in plural because there are so many sky fathers, in fact, most cultures have one. However, “sky father” is a translation of the Vedic pantheon Dyaus Pita. This Indian god is the equivalent of the Roman god, Jupiter and the Greek god, Zeus. Muslims are to celebrate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
Birthdays and anniversaries are cultural traditions INHERENT to non-Muslims therefore they qualify as tashabo. This explanation of Dr. Qadhi is free thinking.
Sunnah way to celebrate birthday is to fast on Mondays as prophet Mohamad (peace be upon him) did. Think , did our prophet celebrate his children's birthdays ? Are children more important? Doesn't it mean that we love our spouse and children more than our prophet? How can you hold your Iman if you think your family is more important than the prophet (peace be upon him)?
I'm sure it's not haram to have a fun time with the kids by wearing good clothes and going somewhere and eating something. Having a cake is also not haram.
Is birthdays or anything . Don’t put candles and of is then saying happy birthday. It comes from a majucy religion. The do it for barakah. And in islam barakah has nothing to do with fire.
we have to look at what a birthday really is and how it originated into society, britdays have pagan origins done by occultist which later mainstream society adopted, so due to its origins is haram and also disbelief if you know its reality as you are inadvertent participating of a disbelieving festival
Islam is a way of life and anything you do should be guided by qur an and the Sunnah of rasulullah. Your actions is the manifestation of what you know of your religion..
Just the manner of his speech… his tone of voice and the anger in his voice just expresses everything else… this is also not how we as Muslim are supposed to speak especially regarding a topic that is so unimportant.. whilst listening to mufti, not to compare, such a peaceful explanation with so much sense may Allah guide to all
No , i guess you should say clearly This is the not the culture of islam Celebrating birthday comes from Christians I mean let's say its not haraam But why do u need to celebrate , eventually you are getting close to death every year passed by Isn't it foolish to celebrate on getting close to your death.
@Sadia subah ofcourse you are getting closer to death every time even when a sec passes by. This was about birthday that's why i said a year.. i guess u r too young to understand and little brain to ponder over things.
@Sadia subah u r taking it completely wrong. I never said time decides death or your age .. The topic was birthday. Evey year people celebrate birthday , so i was only specific about completing a year and celebrating ..that's why i said every year we are getting closer to death ..infact every moment every sec which passes by..i was specific about the subject. Hope u get it..
He didn't mention that lighting up candles on a crescent shaped cake was in fact a pagan ritual where they would pray to moon God Artemis to bless them with good life etc. It was originally a religious festival
Muslim (1162) narrated from Abu Qataadah al-Ansaari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked about fasting on Mondays and he said: “On (that day) I was born and on it Revelation came down to me.” Doesn't this enough to understand that our prophet was a grateful man on his birthday even in that Era.
He was grateful, but look on the way he expressed his gratefulness. By keeping fast. Not throwing a birthday party to his companions or going out.. what if also follow his sunnah on our birth days that try to get more closer to Allah. Instead of celebrating or just get temped by our wordly desires..
He is fasting not providing anything to do. if people is fasting on his birth thats good, but celebrating by party so not that's the way of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
That's the weakest argument I've ever heard to make something halal that was haram in Shariyah "not to copy pagans" which he accepted that himself! والله المستعان may Allah guide him and protect Muslim ummah from his fitnah and evil. ameen.
It isn't haram it hasn't been forbidden by allah. like you don't have to have candles and make wishes like the non muslims. just make dua to allah on that day and treat yourself or whoevers birthday it is , like what is wrong with that.
I agree with him that birthdays and anniversary bring happiness, and love is instilled for those days. It’s a means of sharing gifts that the Hadith mention brings love. It is a means of eating food and bringing people together - baraqa for the one providing/cooking. It is a deed if done in halal manner brings and encourages unity, sometimes people pray in jamaat as a result, it is a praiseworthy not blameworthy action that is deemed contravening the deen. Thanks

If it is done privately. Most times it’s about show off and present ourself as a costly material vs Happiness. We will have be happy life when try to fulfill Allah’s way and follow Prophets deeds. Why spends thousands to feed the rich to get happiness vs so many poor are living next to us. Yes if we can fulfill our duties and Muslim first, Allah permitted to enjoy a little by thanking him. Not spend money to enjoy while our next door neighbor or family members struggling to live comfortably. We need to think and teach our children so we as Muslim do our duties to others first. جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا
Acording to Hadith prophet peace be upon him born on Monday and he decide to do fasting on Mondays. Fasting and celebrating birthdays are opposit. Can not combine.
celebrating Christmas brings religion into it and would see the category of bid’ah. as for halloween it would not meet the shari’ah goals but perhaps still permissible by the understanding of the video
no nothing is halal & haram untill intention is made halal...Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for." حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ ".

The issue is you celebrate Anniversaries and Birhtdays on Christian / Gregorian calendar not on the Islamic lunar calendar.. you didn't even think of mentioning that point.. very strange..
If you believe you shouldn't celebrate birthday for religious reason, then you shouldn't promote anything that contradicts your belief. Cakes aren't haram though, but the purpose is if you believe so. You may watch this: czcams.com/video/MSh-1bQyuOs/video.html. Birthday celebration originated from rituals conflicting with Islam. So, it's better to avoid it. You decide.
He’s right and wrong. Yes there is nothing wrong with celebrating and being with one another. However, shaitan works slowly. Yes it’s not haram right away, but year after year, expectations rise, entitlement increases, you will always want more, if things don’t go your way, fights or arguments may ensue (disrespecting parents or spouses!). These holidays were created by non Muslims in non Muslim lands. How can we follow traditions and practices by people who are not Muslim and do not have our values and ideologies in mind?
What will happen if you celebrate birthdays once a year, every year? Nothing. Only happiness, It's only 1 day that your birthday comes, there is no harm, shaitan has no relation to birthdays. What will cause you to do haram from birthdays? Eating a cake?
@@MinaShakib do what more? A whole festival for your birthday party? That's still halal, with your logic that means literally doing anything that is occasional will be harmful.
@@normal5389 that depends what "occasional" means to you. Plus this video has some flaws. Tuesday and birthday pagan origin is a bad example because one you cant control and one is voluntary. The prophet (PBUH) said that his followers will follow the disbelievers cubit by cubit to the point where if they fell in the hole of lizard his followers will also. This is imitation of disbelievers and no im not a extreme crazy muslim for saying that. Also, people are making it a lousy justification when they say its a time for kinship because opportunities for kinship and bonding aren't reserved for birthdays. This argument holds no weight. The candle blow wishing aspect is the worst because it is clear bidah. And when i say its bad i mean specifically the people who were told not to do it and they still choose to. Their are those who came not across brithday bidah knowledge and Allah knows best for them.
I have to disagree two wrongs doesn’t make s right birthdays and these anniversaries are definitely israaf now saying we spend money on clothes and other things well that is israaf but just by we commit this sin so this sin is acceptable isn’t a good argument.
The point he is trying to point out is it is not wrong in it self - there is no text in Quran and Sunnah prohibiting this. Now sometimes people can exceed the limit and associate with sinful activities - this does not make the act in it self wrong but the way they are doing it would be wrong. Allah knows the best.
*What is the aim or logic in celebration of birth day? As per lslam the world ly life is given to humen to testify each person who succeed in this life to get reward of heaven after death. So as far as age is concerned short age is better, so as reduce facing different testify by Almighty. So it is better to leave birth and death to Almighty,*
I agree with him. If I eat a Pizza , am I imitating a kuffar? The only thing I would add is that keep these things simple and don't go overboard that they become more important than Eid which is the highest form of celebration.
As per Brother Yasir Qadri it's allow to celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, if you can do minimum expenses on it, like no birthday cake(that's from non-muslim culture) and no gifts or parties spending huge.... Than who will call it celebrating as per Dunia??? Well my opinion is I don't follow his opinion on this issue... the form of Celebrating in Islam is by submitting more humbly to Allah thank Him for the great gifts and say extra prayers on those days.... This days celebrating becoming more expensive which is Human nature to do more than before...so No thank you Brother Yasir
Internet Explorer marriage and letting people know that you are married through a walima is a sunnah and part of the dean. Now celebrating a birthday and getting upset if no one get you anything is just arrogant in my opinion. That’s why it should’ve avoided completely if you ask me
nauxsi the spending part in not the issue, it's making something a trial that was never the case. It's encouraged to by your wife flowers between now and than. But not in valuntines day. It's encouraged to treat your children and families but not on their birthday. Why are humans celebrating things as that has no benefit in their real life, after life. Why not celebrating memorizing the Quran, converting to Islam, or gifting something to let them know they are special to you on any day, which actually shows that it's scinsere. Everyone getting something on their birthday because that's what everyone does, which in reality means nothing
@@nabilelshukri I agree. If you feel the urge to do something thoughtful for someone in your family on any given day for any particular reason it's entirely your own decision, and your money. I don't look at it as religious although the religion blesses all acts of kindness large or small. The idea about why do it on a given date, it helps to focus on deadline. Otherwise why not have exams every week. Etc.. So we pick certain dates to focus. But beyond this it's best left to the individual and their means as well as their heart. I don't think less of someone who does it your way, I don't think less of someone who does it a different way. But as long as we see it for what it is. Cultural thing.
nauxsi my wife was born in America and she’s Celebrated birthdays all her life, even her parents expect something for their birthday, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day even though they are not born here. And they would get upset if no one get them something on those days. I never tell my wife not to celebrate nor it’s haram because that’s not the way I look at things. The Quran is not a book of rules nor the religion which majority of people look at it that way. However, when people ask me about matters like this, such as music, birthdays etc... I ask them “is it going to bring you closer to Allah, which should be everyone’s ultimate goal”. All of us are so busy working and never have time to do things to bring us closer to Allah. Imagine everytime you listen to music you listen to Quran instead and start memorizing what you listen too, read books, and watch lectures. Instead of birthdays. You do a family gathering, get the family together, bbq, keep in touch which is essential in the Deen. We don’t do theses essential things therefore the other traditions become vital replacements for what makes a Muslim who he or she is. I for once don’t care for theses silly things because life is way more than that. In conclusion, I don’t recommend them at all. Time is limited and resurrection is inevitable.
Assalamualaykum Shaykh. Christmas is a birhtday of Jesus according to christians, Greek pagans celebrates bithday of their moon goddess Selene, in Egypt Birthday starts by celebrating Pharao of bieng God and King. please explain it to us ASAP, base on QURAN, and HADITH. SHUKRAN.
I see here alot of negative comments. I think he said something that we have to reflect on. If we can not celebrate birthday because it is "tashabuh" then how can we use iphones, tv and add it to our daily routine, or living in non-islamic countries. These all things comes from non-muslim so all of this is tashabuh....???? Like he said then eating burgers, pizza are tashabuhat .........????? Halal and haram is clear in islam.
How is that even comparable? In Islam, it is halal before it is haram. Stop trying to make such arguments as a layman. Among the celebrations that are prohibited according to Islamic teaching - apart from those which involve reprehensible practices and sins - are those in which there is any imitation of the disbelievers, such as birthday celebrations and Mother’s Day. The prohibition is more emphatic if they take a form which resembles the festivals prescribed in Islam. This is the case with regard to those occasions, as they are called “ ‘eid al-milaad (lit. “festival of birth” i.e., birthday) and “ ‘eid al-umm” (lit. festival of mothers, i.e., Mother’s Day). These are occasions which involve imitation of the disbelievers and those whom we are forbidden to imitate. The prohibition is more emphatic if the aim of the one who celebrates it is to draw closer to Allah, may He be exalted, thereby, because this is combining sin and innovation (bid‘ah). The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: What is the ruling on celebrating children’s birthdays? There is a saying among us that it is better to fast on that day instead of celebrating it. What is the correct view? They replied: Celebrating birthdays or fasting because it is one’s birthday is all innovation (bid‘ah) for which there is no basis. Rather the Muslim should seek to draw closer to Allah by doing that which He has enjoined upon him and by doing supererogatory acts of worship. In all cases he should be grateful to Him and praise Him for all the days and years during which he has been sound in body and he, his property and his children have been safe. End quote. Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (2/260, 261) It is forbidden for people to celebrate birthdays, as this is an imitation of disbelievers because Muslims didn't know this custom before. It came from the disbelievers as it is one of their customs. And, the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ordered us to disagree with them. This is made evident from many sound Hadith. Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said also:" Whoever imitates some people, he is one of them". Narrated by Abu Dawood from Ibn Omar. And Allah knows best.
Sweet heart, I don't know ur gender but I love u lillahi wa rosulihi. Thanks for this. U don't have to rubbish some 1s believe because u don't believe them. Do urs and let others do their. As simple as that
The base to make birthday Haram is : the starting of birthday is from celebrating birthday of jesus. This is the religious celebration among Christians and now copying them Muslims also started to celebrate their birthdays. So the base of birthday is religious and is more worthy to be neglected than other celebrations like new year.
If birthday parties have ‘Israf’ then what about weddings! I always compare birthdays to drinking tea / coffee in the morning.. it doesn’t belong to any country or religion , it’s neutral. And even if it’s cultural thing , what’s wrong with adopting something nice from a different culture as long as it is not haram?
When most of the Ulemas of Islam has understanding of not celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, because it's like following the kuffaar. It's better we don't it. Coming to wearing pants and shirts , it's a very immature statement from the Sheikh because they are generalized. Birthdays and anniversaries have some origin with some culture. People have different opinions. Respect them and move forward. ❤
Calm down people if you dont want to celebrate your birthdays then dont he is not forcing you he is only giving his opinion like seriously you are all going off on one but there are bigger issues we need to correct in ourselves like praying backbiting fasting and respecting our parents but nah let's blast someone cus he has a different opinion on things.
Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried their prayers and wishes to the Godswho lived in the skies. ... The number of candles usually represents the age of the person being celebrated. The idea of celebrating the date of your birth is a pagan tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism. Pagansthought that evil spirits lurked on days of major changes, like the day you turn a year older.
Celebrating Birthdays comes from Greeks and Pharaoh. It was a Celebration of Worship. Look it up. Greeks celebrated ritual to honor the goddess Artemis, the female archetype associated with childbirth, wildlife, and the moon. This is not only innovation But a form of Shirk too There is a Authentic Hadith Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.” Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134 Muslims are to celebrate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Who ever does something that is not a part of this matter of ours (i.e Islam) will have it rejected - Ibn majah Also:- Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Who ever imitates a people is one of them. Reported by Bukhari. As our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم advice us, we should not blindly follow the scholars We should clarifying what Allah سبحانه وتعلى and our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم have said so. As there are many corrupted scholars misleading our Ummah, we must be careful of everything we hears or see and need to clarify regarding matter of deen
One of the purpose of Sheikh wearing a beard is to differentiate him from a non Muslim likewise women wearing hijab. Wearing a jalab rather than a suit is not bidi'a for the simple fact that the suit meets the conditions of Islamic clothing . Celebrating birthday is bidi'a because in Islam everyday is a blessing of having another chance to serve Allah. Every second of that day must be devoted to doing so because it may just be your last Birthday celebration if you say is not bidi'a it is definitely a waste of your time and resources doing an act which at best is not rewarded and a waste that must be accounted for. Prophet SAW left us as a guide Quran, Hadith and our conscience. Your analysis is trying to find a justification to make halal what is very clearly at best a gray area in Islam. Gray areas must be avoided for they only lead to the disobedience of Allah. May Allah not try us with knowledge that is not beneficial Amiin. Allah knows best.
Subhaanallaah,,, Now I have for myself,,,I don't know what happened to you bro,,, but the Hadith on Arbaeena nawawi,let me look for it,, It's not allowed in Islam from my small ilm
But if the birthday itself has pagan origins wouldn't that make it impermissible by default? If the person doesn't know, like many don't, that's another thing, but *once a person knows, then he should treat it as he knows* . If it's roots are pagan, then by default, it should be impermissible. Who are we to then go and say that it's permissible - we can't simply gloss over and ignore that fact and then say that no one in this day and age really understands it origins. The birthday itself is said to be *a ritual* -- meaning a ritual that is related to *their religion* which is paganism. That's not at all comparable to wearing western clothes or speaking English, etc. So then, by default, it cannot pass the criteria of tashabbuh. And we can't simply gloss over that fact, especially as teachers, and act like it's not there... What if that judgement is wrong? *Wouldn't it make more sense to avoid it rather than partake in it* ?
The birthday is the highest holy day in Satanism, you can research that for yourself. This makes me very uncomfortable on that particular celebration. Anniversary, I know of no immediate connection between that any tradition necessarily.
Salaam ya sheikh Though I don’t agree with you 100% but I don’t disagree with you too , you have a point too sheikh. Though I don’t celebrate my children’s birthday but I don’t stop them from attending birthdays in kindergartens or in families as well bcoz InshaAllah it’s not related to shirk. I have also stared attending their cushions birthdays jus to increase the love among them. Bcoz in a foreign countries we live far away from our families we rarely get a chance to meet each other. I might be wrong but my intention is only to uphold ties of kin ship may Allah forgive us and make a better path for us to follow His Deen. Please brothers and sisters we might not agree with sheikh Yasir Qadi 100% but we shouldn’t stop respecting him or God Forbid say anything that is against his honour because we all might have difference of opinions. Yet we should always respect our sheikhs for working for the deen if he is wrong then may Allah forgive him. On the other side I have also people beginning with celebrating birthdays then going on celebrating Christmas parties which we all agree are totally haram as they are related to shirk that’s isn’t good.
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.

as a teenager, I was told it was haram and then got insecure about it. It's good to hear a different perspective from the perspective of intent. JazakAllah Khair.
@@mohamadkhateeb402 It's not bid'ah but it's still haraam. It's is Tashabbuh because the Muslims were never known to do this before it was introduced by the disbelievers. It is a pagan festival at its roots like Christmas too. Even atheists celebrate Christmas, so obviously it's not a religious event anymore so can the Muslims participate? No! The Muslims only have 2 Eids. The word Eid means something which returns. It comes from the root عاد - يعود which means - To return. Anything which is celebrated ritually and systematically other than the 2 legislated Eids is haraam. Thanksgiving, Valentine's, Easter, mothers day, Christmas, birthdays, bonfire night, anniversaries e.t.c. Some of these things are haraam for more than one reason and some just for one reason. There's no harm in recognizing as anniversary, birthday, or important event, the harm is in feasting upon the day in celebration.
If anything isn't part of Islam then it's not allow. You can read Quran with meaning and do hardwork to find out Sahi Hadith instead of depending on anyone or any class. This guy can't say any Hadith, ayat of Quran or anything. I never watch his any lecture that he is saying with ayath of Quran, hadith.
Allah said, don't follow anyone. Find out by yourself. You take take references from scholars but try to find out. But don't take reference from this kind of guy who can't give any reference from Quran, Hadith
Celebrating ones birthday is an world/ customary thing and not unique to any religious faith. In the worldly nature or customary act all deeds are permitted unless otherwise prohibited by the clear text. Ibn Taymiyyah wrote: With regard to customs, they are things that people are used to doing in their worldly affairs. The basic principle concerning them is that they are not forbidden. Nothing of that is forbidden except what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. That is because commands and prohibitions have to do with the religion of Allah, and acts of worship must necessarily be enjoined. If something is not proven to have been enjoined, then how can it be deemed an act of worship? With regard to customs, if there is no text to prove that a custom is forbidden, how can it be deemed to be forbidden? [Source: Majmu‘ al-Fatawa 29/16-17] Obviously, if someone while celebrating goes excess, associates with sinful activities or makes wishes by blowing candles - will be wrong and unlawful immitiation of other people of faith. Sh. Yasir doesn't has to give proof here. Those who say it's unlawful in it self have to bring the proof. Since in Islam everything is halal in worldly things unless prohibited by clear text. Since there is non-existent textual proof - the original permissibility applies. The hadith about 2 festival celebration are only referring to public religious celebration and not customary or worldly nature celebrations that are within the boundaries of shariah this has been pointed out by other scholars.
@@farhanasadia5508 something can be not part of Islam but NOT necessarily forbidden. However, if something is not part of religion and a person makes it part of act of worship then it's wrong. I hope that makes sense.
@@faysalahmed9157 This is your personal opinion. Majority of Ulema including Joker Naik told this is harm. This Joker even says playing cricket is haram!!!
I celebrate the day of my birth by getting on my knees and thanking GOD for making me important enough to create. i do not go around yelling it is my day of birth but rather be humble and grateful. No liquor or partying. I am Christian but also very interested in the muslim laws.
I love u and ur thoughts u r true how can be a Christian Coul think like this they r king of celebration🤔🌈
This is innovation
Subhan Allah.
May Allah grant us hidaya.
May Allah bless you, I'm a muslim and that's exactly what I do too. Be thankful for your life people because once Allah Creates a soul, it is for Eternity. subhaanAllah!
How about you thank Allah everyday , i think that may be better 😃
You want to celebrate, then celebrate, if you dont want to celebrate, keep it yo your self. The sheik is trying to give clarity on an issue that is misunderstood. May Allah bless him. He has done his best to clarify. Respect him for that
there’s nothing misunderstanding about it , all celebration are FORBIDDEN except for the two Eid’s, khalas, anything else - whether it’s “personal” [which makes no sense, islam governs ones life materialistically and spiritually, so excluding it from ‘personal’ makes no sense and is simply an excuse for the people of desires to justify their actions] or not is bid’ah. KHALAS.
That is to u...and barakallahu fih.
JazakumuLLohu khaeran kaseeroh sister. U are such a blessing to islam. As simple as that. U don't have to condemn any 1. If u want to , do it. If u don't want , then let it be. Thanks sist.
You know how some Muslims have started celebrating Christmas and justifying it as "Just a holiday" or that so their kids won't get left out? Imagine how normal it'll be for their children in a few generations. Then there will be a group of scholars who will say "Yeah it's fine to celebrate Christmas as long as it's celebrated just as a holiday and not for religious reasons". 🤷♀️ 🤔🙈
I assume ur tryna indicate that the man in the video is wrong right. If so can u provide ur reasoning. I haven’t arrived at a conclusion yet and would like to explore the different arguments before finally resting on an answer.
I agreed with ur point.
exactly.. you are so correct. If christmas is haram birthday is haram too
Absolutely. The first thing that popped into my mind was exactly this, Christmas and other pagan celebrations. It seems like a huge misdirected to compare birthdays or other pagan celebrations to celebrating wedding anniversaries. Even with my limited knowledge I can sense huge conflict with this videos.
I've recently begone to research Yasir Qadhi, to try to understand which Islamic influencers are worth following and whom are genuinely sincere. Soo far I have found both Yasir Qadhi and Omar Suleiman to be a bit strange. Just my opinion based on my comparisons with other influencers with my limited knowledge.
InshaAllah, the truth will prevail.

Muslims are to celeberate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers
Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
If the best of people never did it. Why are we doing it?
Birthdays are such a big deal in today’s society that children feel entitled to it. It is embedded in their life that they look forward to it more than eid. I’ve seen with my own eyes a couple got divorced because of it.
If you ask me, it is another means that was created for economic gains. None-Muslims constantly creating new things to fill the void that only Allah can fill.
I think this should of been more clear. He should of stressed that it doesn’t mean now wife’s run to their husband and tell them you must buy me something for my birthday. There are some people, like me for example, that told my wife that I don’t celebrate birthdays, and if she does something for the kids on their birthday she make sure and tell them that this is not something that your father does. I tell them it is not haram, however, what are we really celebrating. I’d rather celebrate them memorizing verses of the Quran. Or graduating from elementary, middle, and high school.
That’s just me
That's fair enough.
At least you recognise that it is a personal choice based on your wife's upbringing. Her culture.
For me I’m the same I can’t say it’s haram because the evidence against it is countered with evidence that it may be permitted but as you said if there was good in it the best of people would have done that, but I have non Muslim family members and then my wife follows the opinion it’s halal and for the kids and it becomes hard, i make it clear I don’t celebrate that but try not to make a conflict
The best of people didn't speak English or drive cars or use the Internet or watch TV or fly in planes. It's irrelevant.
It’s not because it’s a type is celebration not a mode of transport or a tool you’re comparing apples and oranges
DeLaMan so give a logical reason why celebrating a Birthday is wrong? Give me a quote and reasoning.
In this matter i read Jehovah's witnesses points of view even they accept and forbid people from celebrating birthdays.
They say its the pagan religious ritual which christians adopted.
Its not bidaah i think its related to shirk and aqeedah of pagans even before christianity .
Its mentioned in bible birthday was celebrated by Pharoah.
Those who associate birthday celebration with prophet s.a.w 's fasting and say even prophet s.a.w celebrated are wrong because fasting is opposite of celebration.
The day you fast you don't say we are celebrating fasting.
The day you celebrate like eids fasting is forbidden.
Fasting is total opposite of celebration and that fasting which prophet s.a.w did was on Mondays not annual .
if someone wants to thank Allah one can fast on the day he or she was born which means if someone was on sunday he or she can fast on sundays regardless of month and date .
I was unable to understand when he said even if the source is pagan that doesn't make a difference , i think if something comes from paganism having an aqeedah is different from pagan non religious culture such as food or clothing.
Birthday celebration was a religious pagan practice which had some beliefs about their gods and bad omens etc. which they use to do it to ward of bad omen.
The date month a person was born is very important even to those who practice black magic , its is important for hindu pandits from which they make kundlis which is used for marriages etc.
In India the black magicians ask date of birth not the day of birth .
There is a big difference between day and date which some muslims do not understand nor do they understand fasting is opposite of celebration.
Its neither bidaah nor imitation of kuffar its adaptation of a religious rituals which existed before isa a.s.
Date of birth wasn't important at all during prophet s.a.w times or else sahabas would know the exact date when prophet s.a.w was born? there wouldn't be any differences amongst the muslims which we all know there is , nobody knows exactly when prophet s.a.w was born? some say 9th some say 12th rabiul awwal and there are many more dates .
Had the date of birth been so important muslim new year would have started on the day prophet s.a.w was born like christians .
prophet s.a.w would have celebrated his grandson's birthdays whom he loved so much nor did sahabas celebrate their own birthdays.
Seeing this shirk and aqeedah connection its better we should keep away from celebrating or attending or wishing birthdays.
WallAhooaalam.
U hv explained it very clearly...m gonna use ur comment irl and if still people don't understand, I'll just make dua for their hidayah and move on...

Ma Sha Allah, Alhamdulliah for your wisdom.
A very valuable comment. JazakAllah
In Islam there are just 2 festivals, eid-ul-fitr and eid-ul-adha. If we are celebrating anything on an annual basis that is where I think the problem begins.
Now if I’m celebrating something for example my graduation day, or if I got a job or something of that sort, there’s no restrictions in that.
But, Allah has clearly indicated that for a believer there’s only 2 festivals. AND Allah knows best.
He clearly says that birthdays are not religious celebration but a personal one. Your argument holds no point.
@@interactazhar brother please check how did the celebration of birthdays started and decide. And Allah knows best.
He answered that though, saying it depends on what it is now as it is no longer associated with paganism at all. Whether you think that’s a valid argument is a separate thing but that’s what needs to be addressed more than going back to what he’s already said
@@interactazharpharos used to celebrate birthdays as a way to worship themselves. It is within their scriptures. We are mimicking those who committed shirk.
I agree with muslimah slave of Allah.
Please avoid that which the Prophet PBUH did not do himself.
He is an aylim from Madina university and highly educated MashaAllah. Just listen carefully to what he's trying explain. Yes that's correct that we should try to avoid things that the Prophet of Allah didn't do BUT if we are doing things in this day and age that are different like traveling in a car, wearing different clothes etc doesn't make it Haram.
@@AAFactor ya ikhwanii, madina university does not teach birthdays are halal!!!!!! Oh Allah when will these people wake up?
According to your logic, we shouldn't do anything that Prophet PBUH did not do? For example, writing, reading etc.
The prophet didn't travel by car should we avoid that? Let's think before we talk about Sunnah and bid'ah.
Then I think to wash teeth with toothpaste is not permissible too😂😂😂😂
Assalaamualaikum wrb. Follow prophet Mohammed sas. Celebrate what he celebrated. No more no less.
Prophet Muhammad sal ate only dates and vinegars and meat, so does that mean we can’t have hamburgers and shawarmas?
@@interactazhar was there hamburgers or sharwarma during the prophet's time?
Mubârok Adigun That’s what I mean bro. It is a sarcastic comment
@@interactazhar . Fear Allah.
Yes we will celebrate what the Prophet SAW celebrated also, Alhamdulillah
What is Aqeeqa? It is birthday celebration
And the Prophet SAW of course knew Muslims will be from all over the world and from all cultures so naturally Muslims will be celebrating many things common to their region and culture or families.
The point is the Islamic celebrations are the two Eids! That Muslims from all over the world must celebrate and they shouldn’t celebrate other religious days of other religions.
The rest is cultural, regional
But the Prophet SAW did not stop us from celebrating personal happiness. Why would he, SAW, do that
National days, independence days, and many others days are always celebrated. birthdays and anniversaries ( not death of course as we are to mourn only for three days) are not religious celebrations so it’s at our own discretion.
What about your wedding? When you made your wife’s father pay for her own wedding dress and the wedding party, at that time, didn’t you feel ashamed? When you gave her a measly few hundreds of dollars as her dowry and took cash and gifts and party and clothing and furniture in return then you didn’t think about Islam????
That is the reason why seeking knowledge is compulsory to every Muslim. We dont have to be academically expert ot being theologian . Studying the fundamentals can be understood by all. The teaching of the prophet SWL would like us to be recognised as a Muslim . A true Muslim.
May Allah ta'alaa guide him n us as well
May Allah guide us to the straight path
The path of Allah n His Prophet (peace b upon him)!
Assalamualaikum if we start celebrating birthdays and anniversaries it surely becomes israaf for people who cannot afford it atleast..... If we have 5 kids we cannot party 8 times it's almost impossible...... Rather if we stick to islamic celebrations of eids we can spend good on clothes and eid gifts.... Birthdays and anniversaries r extra burden for people who r hand to mouth. Our Deen is very easygoing and it wil not burden ne one.
Walaikum salaam I think what the shaykh is saying here is that it is permissible. That doesn’t make it mandatory, if in your case it would be a burden, you are of course free to abstain. Allahu Alim
@@TheMGLife you are correct. He's not saying you SHOULD do it, just that it's allowed. If it'll be too costly, then do something small like a card, or even a hug or something.
You make it seem like he made it wajib. Do as you wish and what works for you and your family.
if it is too costly for you no one is forcing you to do it . He is just saying it is halal if done appropriately

If celebrating birthday is a good thing to do then our Prophet Muhammad would surely celebrate his birthday other than fasting.

I'm sure you would no longer insist on celebrating your birthday in that way.
It depends on how u celebrate ur birthday. If there is dancing and alcohol involved than its haram. Its alright if u spend time with ur family and go out for dinner at a halal restaurant theres nothing wrong in that.

Don’t follow the footsteps of shaitan.
Graduation parties are also not Islamic festivals, just like how house warming are also not Islamic festivals

He said something increasing love between Husband and Wife , how this can be haram ? My question , Is Rasool Allah saw, chosen one particular day to express more love for wife/ or one particular day to give her gift etc ? The answer is NO..This is purely a western culture in my prospective. May Allah guide us to right path !
Rasulallah pbuh used to give his wife gifts everyday or any day or time he wanted and he could. So on that time I am sure people didn’t know about anniversaries and nowadays they celebrate their wedding day the day the got blessed with their spouses so why not to celebrate it because it makes you feel good and romantic too
Are you trying to say that something prophet Muhammad pbuh haven’t done is haram??prophet Muhammad pbuh haven’t used mobile phone and now you are using it ..that means are you doing haram??No way..Think wiser…something that isn’t prohibited by Prophet Muhammed pbuh can be done as halal..right?!!and don’t think like.. something that wasn’t practiced by Prophet Muhammad pbuh is haram.

A bit shocked to hear what I have... but there have been a lot of things Yassir Qadhi has been saying lately that have not be correct. I for one would love to celebrate birthdays as I did so before.. everyone's parties, meals out, personalised cakes balloons you name it however, I refrain now completely have to say It's very hard getting the kids on board living in the west where it's hugely common and the norm. May Allah make it easy for us all to adhere to the commands of Allah and not bring into Islam that weren't there before. Anything that came after the death of the prophet saw is clearly an innovation. If birthdays were a thing the companions of the prophet and others would have been celebrating it unfortunately they didn't.

I am not sure if the Mr. Qadhi knows about the historical side of birthday celebration.;The Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon. ... Some scholars believe the tradition actually started in Germany, where a candle was supposedly placed on the cake to represent “the light of life”. Today, most western cultures celebrate birthdays with cake, lit candles and a birthday song.
Birthday candles are said to hold symbolic power. In the past it was believed that evil spirits visited people on their birthdays and that, to protect the person whose birthday it was from evil, people must surround the individual and make them merry.
And almost no one knows any of this, nor do they associate birthdays with any of this, when they celebrate them. So, it's basically irrelevant

Celebrating Birthdays comes from Greeks and Pharaoh. It was a Celebration of Worship. Look it up. Greeks celebrated ritual to honor the goddess Artemis, the female archetype associated with childbirth, wildlife, and the moon.
This is not only innovation But a form of Shirk too
There is a Authentic Hadith
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.”
Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134
Ancient Greeks and Romans worshipped Mother goddesses at springtime. The Greeks had Rhea, the wife of Cronos, to praise, and from 250 BCE, the Romans honoured the Roman goddess Magna Mater
According to ancient cultures, sky fathers were (are) refer to sky gods who were looked upon as “fathers.” And I state this in plural because there are so many sky fathers, in fact, most cultures have one. However, “sky father” is a translation of the Vedic pantheon Dyaus Pita. This Indian god is the equivalent of the Roman god, Jupiter and the Greek god, Zeus.
Muslims are to celebrate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers
Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
Birthdays and anniversaries are cultural traditions INHERENT to non-Muslims therefore they qualify as tashabo. This explanation of Dr. Qadhi is free thinking.
Sunnah way to celebrate birthday is to fast on Mondays as prophet Mohamad (peace be upon him) did. Think , did our prophet celebrate his children's birthdays ? Are children more important? Doesn't it mean that we love our spouse and children more than our prophet? How can you hold your Iman if you think your family is more important than the prophet (peace be upon him)?
Omg now I’m so confused. I thought birthday parties were haram! He says it’s not...what to do. So hard when you have kids and don’t know what to di
I'm sure it's not haram to have a fun time with the kids by wearing good clothes and going somewhere and eating something.
Having a cake is also not haram.
Is birthdays or anything . Don’t put candles and of is then saying happy birthday. It comes from a majucy religion. The do it for barakah. And in islam barakah has nothing to do with fire.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Mars Jupiter Venus are all Pagan Names. Are you now going to stop saying them? Stop being overzealous.
we have to look at what a birthday really is and how it originated into society, britdays have pagan origins done by occultist which later mainstream society adopted, so due to its origins is haram and also disbelief if you know its reality as you are inadvertent participating of a disbelieving festival

I mean let's say its not haraam
But why do u need to celebrate , eventually you are getting close to death every year passed by
Isn't it foolish to celebrate on getting close to your death.

@Sadia subah u r taking it completely wrong.
I never said time decides death or your age ..
The topic was birthday. Evey year people celebrate birthday , so i was only specific about completing a year and celebrating ..that's why i said every year we are getting closer to death ..infact every moment every sec which passes by..i was specific about the subject.

Doesn't this enough to understand that our prophet was a grateful man on his birthday even in that Era.
He was grateful, but look on the way he expressed his gratefulness. By keeping fast. Not throwing a birthday party to his companions or going out.. what if also follow his sunnah on our birth days that try to get more closer to Allah. Instead of celebrating or just get temped by our wordly desires..
He is fasting not providing anything to do. if people is fasting on his birth thats good, but celebrating by party so not that's the way of Prophet Muhammad SAW.

That's the weakest argument I've ever heard to make something halal that was haram in Shariyah "not to copy pagans" which he accepted that himself! والله المستعان may Allah guide him and protect Muslim ummah from his fitnah and evil. ameen.
It isn't haram it hasn't been forbidden by allah. like you don't have to have candles and make wishes like the non muslims. just make dua to allah on that day and treat yourself or whoevers birthday it is , like what is wrong with that.
I agree with him that birthdays and anniversary bring happiness, and love is instilled for those days. It’s a means of sharing gifts that the Hadith mention brings love. It is a means of eating food and bringing people together - baraqa for the one providing/cooking. It is a deed if done in halal manner brings and encourages unity, sometimes people pray in jamaat as a result, it is a praiseworthy not blameworthy action that is deemed contravening the deen.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ ".

That is not what he said.
The issue is you celebrate Anniversaries and Birhtdays on Christian / Gregorian calendar not on the Islamic lunar calendar.. you didn't even think of mentioning that point.. very strange..
Asalam Aleikum sheikh am a baker and I sell cakes. Is it permissible to sell birthday cakes written happy birthday.
Had the same question.
If you believe you shouldn't celebrate birthday for religious reason, then you shouldn't promote anything that contradicts your belief. Cakes aren't haram though, but the purpose is if you believe so.
You may watch this: czcams.com/video/MSh-1bQyuOs/video.html. Birthday celebration originated from rituals conflicting with Islam. So, it's better to avoid it. You decide.
He’s right and wrong. Yes there is nothing wrong with celebrating and being with one another. However, shaitan works slowly. Yes it’s not haram right away, but year after year, expectations rise, entitlement increases, you will always want more, if things don’t go your way, fights or arguments may ensue (disrespecting parents or spouses!). These holidays were created by non Muslims in non Muslim lands. How can we follow traditions and practices by people who are not Muslim and do not have our values and ideologies in mind?
What will happen if you celebrate birthdays once a year, every year?
Nothing. Only happiness, It's only 1 day that your birthday comes, there is no harm, shaitan has no relation to birthdays. What will cause you to do haram from birthdays? Eating a cake?
@@normal5389 not only happiness. There’s always expectations and doing “more” than the year before. It’s not about cake. Do whatever u want to. Idc
@@MinaShakib do what more? A whole festival for your birthday party? That's still halal, with your logic that means literally doing anything that is occasional will be harmful.
@@normal5389 that depends what "occasional" means to you. Plus this video has some flaws. Tuesday and birthday pagan origin is a bad example because one you cant control and one is voluntary. The prophet (PBUH) said that his followers will follow the disbelievers cubit by cubit to the point where if they fell in the hole of lizard his followers will also. This is imitation of disbelievers and no im not a extreme crazy muslim for saying that.
Also, people are making it a lousy justification when they say its a time for kinship because opportunities for kinship and bonding aren't reserved for birthdays. This argument holds no weight.
The candle blow wishing aspect is the worst because it is clear bidah. And when i say its bad i mean specifically the people who were told not to do it and they still choose to. Their are those who came not across brithday bidah knowledge and Allah knows best for them.
Yeah thats right....u actually seem to know what ur saying...may god bless u
Ibn Taymiyah said: anything that is celebrated on a yearly basis is considered an Eid and we only have 2 eids." Therefore it's not allowed
Exactly the point. Not referring to shariah and just by thinking. How is Birthday a celebration when one is closer to the grave? Isn't it?
I have to disagree two wrongs doesn’t make s right birthdays and these anniversaries are definitely israaf now saying we spend money on clothes and other things well that is israaf but just by we commit this sin so this sin is acceptable isn’t a good argument.
Bring your evidence to refute him then?
The point he is trying to point out is it is not wrong in it self - there is no text in Quran and Sunnah prohibiting this. Now sometimes people can exceed the limit and associate with sinful activities - this does not make the act in it self wrong but the way they are doing it would be wrong. Allah knows the best.
May ALLAH guide u
I hope all follow the sunnah
*What is the aim or logic in celebration of birth day?
As per lslam the world ly life is given to humen to testify each person who succeed in this life to get reward of heaven after death.
So as far as age is concerned short age is better, so as reduce facing different testify by Almighty. So it is better to leave birth and death to Almighty,*
Alhamdulillah but how about the we celebrate it that is to say the Mahrams and the non Mahrams together at the celebration cheering up
Ya Aisha Joof don’t celebrate with mixed gatherings ladies celebrate in other room and men’s in another problem solved
The same people who say dont do what the prophet did are the same people who say insurance is fine yet the prophet never did it
His explanation makes sense but so does Mufti Menks who says it not right to celebrate birthdays, I’m confused 😕
Tuesday?
Yep tuesday is pagan.. it came from the name of the norse god Tues
I agree with him. If I eat a Pizza , am I imitating a kuffar? The only thing I would add is that keep these things simple and don't go overboard that they become more important than Eid which is the highest form of celebration.
As per Brother Yasir Qadri it's allow to celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, if you can do minimum expenses on it, like no birthday cake(that's from non-muslim culture) and no gifts or parties spending huge.... Than who will call it celebrating as per Dunia???
Well my opinion is I don't follow his opinion on this issue... the form of Celebrating in Islam is by submitting more humbly to Allah thank Him for the great gifts and say extra prayers on those days....
This days celebrating becoming more expensive which is Human nature to do more than before...so No thank you Brother Yasir
Internet Explorer marriage and letting people know that you are married through a walima is a sunnah and part of the dean. Now celebrating a birthday and getting upset if no one get you anything is just arrogant in my opinion. That’s why it should’ve avoided completely if you ask me
You're allowed to spend on your loved ones. This is according to your means.
nauxsi the spending part in not the issue, it's making something a trial that was never the case. It's encouraged to by your wife flowers between now and than. But not in valuntines day. It's encouraged to treat your children and families but not on their birthday. Why are humans celebrating things as that has no benefit in their real life, after life. Why not celebrating memorizing the Quran, converting to Islam, or gifting something to let them know they are special to you on any day, which actually shows that it's scinsere. Everyone getting something on their birthday because that's what everyone does, which in reality means nothing
@@nabilelshukri I agree. If you feel the urge to do something thoughtful for someone in your family on any given day for any particular reason it's entirely your own decision, and your money. I don't look at it as religious although the religion blesses all acts of kindness large or small. The idea about why do it on a given date, it helps to focus on deadline. Otherwise why not have exams every week. Etc.. So we pick certain dates to focus. But beyond this it's best left to the individual and their means as well as their heart. I don't think less of someone who does it your way, I don't think less of someone who does it a different way. But as long as we see it for what it is. Cultural thing.
nauxsi my wife was born in America and she’s Celebrated birthdays all her life, even her parents expect something for their birthday, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day even though they are not born here. And they would get upset if no one get them something on those days. I never tell my wife not to celebrate nor it’s haram because that’s not the way I look at things. The Quran is not a book of rules nor the religion which majority of people look at it that way. However, when people ask me about matters like this, such as music, birthdays etc... I ask them “is it going to bring you closer to Allah, which should be everyone’s ultimate goal”. All of us are so busy working and never have time to do things to bring us closer to Allah. Imagine everytime you listen to music you listen to Quran instead and start memorizing what you listen too, read books, and watch lectures. Instead of birthdays. You do a family gathering, get the family together, bbq, keep in touch which is essential in the Deen. We don’t do theses essential things therefore the other traditions become vital replacements for what makes a Muslim who he or she is. I for once don’t care for theses silly things because life is way more than that. In conclusion, I don’t recommend them at all. Time is limited and resurrection is inevitable.
Assalamualaykum Shaykh. Christmas is a birhtday of Jesus according to christians, Greek pagans celebrates bithday of their moon goddess Selene, in Egypt Birthday starts by celebrating Pharao of bieng God and King. please explain it to us ASAP, base on QURAN, and HADITH. SHUKRAN.

Bottom line: something can only be bidaa if it’s a religious celebration. Birthdays are not religious celebrations
I see here alot of negative comments. I think he said something that we have to reflect on. If we can not celebrate birthday because it is "tashabuh" then how can we use iphones, tv and add it to our daily routine, or living in non-islamic countries. These all things comes from non-muslim so all of this is tashabuh....???? Like he said then eating burgers, pizza are tashabuhat .........?????
Halal and haram is clear in islam.
How is that even comparable?
In Islam, it is halal before it is haram. Stop trying to make such arguments as a layman.
Among the celebrations that are prohibited according to Islamic teaching - apart from those which involve reprehensible practices and sins - are those in which there is any imitation of the disbelievers, such as birthday celebrations and Mother’s Day. The prohibition is more emphatic if they take a form which resembles the festivals prescribed in Islam. This is the case with regard to those occasions, as they are called “ ‘eid al-milaad (lit. “festival of birth” i.e., birthday) and “ ‘eid al-umm” (lit. festival of mothers, i.e., Mother’s Day). These are occasions which involve imitation of the disbelievers and those whom we are forbidden to imitate. The prohibition is more emphatic if the aim of the one who celebrates it is to draw closer to Allah, may He be exalted, thereby, because this is combining sin and innovation (bid‘ah). The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
What is the ruling on celebrating children’s birthdays? There is a saying among us that it is better to fast on that day instead of celebrating it. What is the correct view?
They replied:
Celebrating birthdays or fasting because it is one’s birthday is all innovation (bid‘ah) for which there is no basis. Rather the Muslim should seek to draw closer to Allah by doing that which He has enjoined upon him and by doing supererogatory acts of worship. In all cases he should be grateful to Him and praise Him for all the days and years during which he has been sound in body and he, his property and his children have been safe. End quote.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd
Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (2/260, 261)
It is forbidden for people to celebrate birthdays, as this is an imitation of disbelievers because Muslims didn't know this custom before. It came from the disbelievers as it is one of their customs. And, the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ordered us to disagree with them. This is made evident from many sound Hadith. Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said also:" Whoever imitates some people, he is one of them".
Narrated by Abu Dawood from Ibn Omar.

Just now saw video of zakir naik which is contrary to what he said about birthdays and anniversary.
It’s not generic SubhanAllah. How can you disregard the origin of birthdays.
The base to make birthday Haram is : the starting of birthday is from celebrating birthday of jesus. This is the religious celebration among Christians and now copying them Muslims also started to celebrate their birthdays. So the base of birthday is religious and is more worthy to be neglected than other celebrations like new year.
God bless you 🤲🤲🤲
My thanks for a clearer explanation.

If birthday parties have ‘Israf’ then what about weddings!
I always compare birthdays to drinking tea / coffee in the morning.. it doesn’t belong to any country or religion , it’s neutral. And even if it’s cultural thing , what’s wrong with adopting something nice from a different culture as long as it is not haram?
Is it not the pegans who used to celebrate it as a ritual? Or the Egyptian pharos?
And also ancient Greeks celebrate their Goddess Artemis by preparing round shape cake to resemble moon.
When most of the Ulemas of Islam has understanding of not celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, because it's like following the kuffaar. It's better we don't it. Coming to wearing pants and shirts , it's a very immature statement from the Sheikh because they are generalized. Birthdays and anniversaries have some origin with some culture. People have different opinions. Respect them and move forward. ❤
Calm down people if you dont want to celebrate your birthdays then dont he is not forcing you he is only giving his opinion like seriously you are all going off on one but there are bigger issues we need to correct in ourselves like praying backbiting fasting and respecting our parents but nah let's blast someone cus he has a different opinion on things.
Awais Leon agreed
Agreed....
Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried their prayers and wishes to the Godswho lived in the skies. ... The number of candles usually represents the age of the person being celebrated.
The idea of celebrating the date of your birth is a pagan tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism. Pagansthought that evil spirits lurked on days of major changes, like the day you turn a year older.
Aslam Alaikum Sheikh, Jazak Allah Khair for making a most debatable issue, clear as water. So happy, it is fine if we celebrate
.🙂
Celebrating Birthdays comes from Greeks and Pharaoh. It was a Celebration of Worship. Look it up. Greeks celebrated ritual to honor the goddess Artemis, the female archetype associated with childbirth, wildlife, and the moon.
This is not only innovation But a form of Shirk too
There is a Authentic Hadith
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.”
Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134
Muslims are to celebrate only 2 Eid. Means no Mothers day, Father Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving all are from Pagans and Idol Worshippers
Do you know The day you are celebrating is as per Roman Calendar and islamically the day changes as there is a difference in calendar days
It’s not fine. If you heard someone else besides yasir qadi say it was not accepted would you accept it?
Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Who ever does something that is not a part of this matter of ours (i.e Islam) will have it rejected - Ibn majah
Also:-
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Who ever imitates a people is one of them. Reported by Bukhari.
As our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم advice us, we should not blindly follow the scholars
We should clarifying what Allah سبحانه وتعلى and our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم have said so.
As there are many corrupted scholars misleading our Ummah, we must be careful of everything we hears or see and need to clarify regarding matter of deen

Do more research on the context. You have little to no clue what bidah means.
One of the purpose of Sheikh wearing a beard is to differentiate him from a non Muslim likewise women wearing hijab.
Wearing a jalab rather than a suit is not bidi'a for the simple fact that the suit meets the conditions of Islamic clothing . Celebrating birthday is bidi'a because in Islam everyday is a blessing of having another chance to serve Allah. Every second of that day must be devoted to doing so because it may just be your last Birthday celebration if you say is not bidi'a it is definitely a waste of your time and resources doing an act which at best is not rewarded and a waste that must be accounted for.
Prophet SAW left us as a guide Quran, Hadith and our conscience.
Your analysis is trying to find a justification to make halal what is very clearly at best a gray area in Islam. Gray areas must be avoided for they only lead to the disobedience of Allah. May Allah not try us with knowledge that is not beneficial Amiin.

But if the birthday itself has pagan origins wouldn't that make it impermissible by default?
If the person doesn't know, like many don't, that's another thing, but *once a person knows, then he should treat it as he knows* .
If it's roots are pagan, then by default, it should be impermissible. Who are we to then go and say that it's permissible - we can't simply gloss over and ignore that fact and then say that no one in this day and age really understands it origins.
The birthday itself is said to be *a ritual* -- meaning a ritual that is related to *their religion* which is paganism. That's not at all comparable to wearing western clothes or speaking English, etc.
So then, by default, it cannot pass the criteria of tashabbuh. And we can't simply gloss over that fact, especially as teachers, and act like it's not there... What if that judgement is wrong?
*Wouldn't it make more sense to avoid it rather than partake in it* ?
The days of the week have Pagan origins, so do the months and many Stars. Use your brain. They are not Haram.
The birthday is the highest holy day in Satanism, you can research that for yourself. This makes me very uncomfortable on that particular celebration. Anniversary, I know of no immediate connection between that any tradition necessarily.

Though I don’t celebrate my children’s birthday but I don’t stop them from attending birthdays in kindergartens or in families as well bcoz InshaAllah it’s not related to shirk. I have also stared attending their cushions birthdays jus to increase the love among them. Bcoz in a foreign countries we live far away from our families we rarely get a chance to meet each other. I might be wrong but my intention is only to uphold ties of kin ship may Allah forgive us and make a better path for us to follow His Deen.
Please brothers and sisters we might not agree with sheikh Yasir Qadi 100% but we shouldn’t stop respecting him or God Forbid say anything that is against his honour because we all might have difference of opinions. Yet we should always respect our sheikhs for working for the deen if he is wrong then may Allah forgive him.
On the other side I have also people beginning with celebrating birthdays then going on celebrating Christmas parties which we all agree are totally haram as they are related to shirk that’s isn’t good.

It's not bid'ah but it's still haraam.
It's is Tashabbuh because the Muslims were never known to do this before it was introduced by the disbelievers.
It is a pagan festival at its roots like Christmas too.
Even atheists celebrate Christmas, so obviously it's not a religious event anymore so can the Muslims participate? No!
The Muslims only have 2 Eids.
The word Eid means something which returns. It comes from the root عاد - يعود which means - To return.
Anything which is celebrated ritually and systematically other than the 2 legislated Eids is haraam.
Thanksgiving, Valentine's, Easter, mothers day, Christmas, birthdays, bonfire night, anniversaries e.t.c.
Some of these things are haraam for more than one reason and some just for one reason.
There's no harm in recognizing as anniversary, birthday, or important event, the harm is in feasting upon the day in celebration.

Celebrating ones birthday is an world/ customary thing and not unique to any religious faith. In the worldly nature or customary act all deeds are permitted unless otherwise prohibited by the clear text.
Ibn Taymiyyah wrote:
With regard to customs, they are things that people are used to doing in their worldly affairs. The basic principle concerning them is that they are not forbidden. Nothing of that is forbidden except what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. That is because commands and prohibitions have to do with the religion of Allah, and acts of worship must necessarily be enjoined. If something is not proven to have been enjoined, then how can it be deemed an act of worship? With regard to customs, if there is no text to prove that a custom is forbidden, how can it be deemed to be forbidden?
[Source: Majmu‘ al-Fatawa 29/16-17]
Obviously, if someone while celebrating goes excess, associates with sinful activities or makes wishes by blowing candles - will be wrong and unlawful immitiation of other people of faith.
Sh. Yasir doesn't has to give proof here.
Those who say it's unlawful in it self have to bring the proof. Since in Islam everything is halal in worldly things unless prohibited by clear text. Since there is non-existent textual proof - the original permissibility applies.
The hadith about 2 festival celebration are only referring to public religious celebration and not customary or worldly nature celebrations that are within the boundaries of shariah this has been pointed out by other scholars.
