Best of you

19. "The best of you are those who are best to their families, and I am the best of you to my family." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

3. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys… But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book.”(Qur’an, 31:19-20)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Celebrating Birthdays and Wedding Anniversaries.

 


Question:

What is the ruling on organising celebrations for the birthdays of children or for wedding anniversaries?
Answer:

There are no celebrations in Islaam except Friday the weekly 'Eid, the first day of Shawwal - 'Eidal-Adha. The day of 'Arafah might be called an 'Eid for those who are at 'Arafah on that day, and the days of Tashreeq, following 'Eidul-Adha.
As for birthday celebrations for a person or his children, or wedding anniversaries or the like, none of them are legislated and they are closer to being innovations than to being allowed.
