A Warning not to Celebrate Birthdays
Besides being bid’ah and having no basis in sharee’ah, birthday celebrations involve imitation of the Jews and Christians in their birthday celebrations.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, warning us against following their ways and traditions:
“You would follow the ways of those who came before you step by step, to such an extent that if they were to enter a lizard’s hole, you would enter it too.” They said, “O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and Christians?” He said, “Who else?”
(Reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.
