Excerpt-Hazrat Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi
This servant of the Ahle Sunnat has,
also, replied to the above quoted paragraph of the "Honey Dew", and
here I repeat it in brief. First of all, it is only for those whose loved once
have died that they should be grieved or joyful. But our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and other Prophets (Alaiehis us
Salaam) are, by Almighty ALLAAH's grace,
living.
Even
so, my reply is this. The birth of Hazrat Aadam (Alaiehis-Salaam) took place on the same day as his passing
away, but rejoicing at his birth was retained because, in Shari 'ah, mourning
in not allowed for more than three days. On the other hand, our Holy Prophet's (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi wa Sallam) birth
took place on 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal but
the day when he departed from this world, even according to Ashraf Ali Thanvi
Sahib himself, was definitely not 12th Rabee-ul-Awwal....excerpt-Islaam's First Eid-Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi
