Is the illumination done through legal electricity or Kunda?

Maybe they should include a picture from my apartments - no electricity 'inside' the well decorated and brightly lit complex, only on the outside

Did our prophet and his companions celebrate this occasion. Where we are going. As Muslims we shall follow his teaching rather lavish waste.

@Hasan Hasni : Did prophet had loudspeakers in mosques?? Did prophet and his companions used mobiles and computers?. There is no harm in celebrating, as long as its not hurting someone......

@Hassan two completely different things...
Remind me how building replicas of masjid-e-nabwi serves the din?

@Visibly Invisible : Sir, If you don't want to celebrate Eid-milad that's fine, nobody should force you to celebrate. On the other hand, no one should be allowed to stop people from celebrating this occasion either. Unfortunately, tolerance for each other has become an alien concept in this country.

@Hassan - Stopping and advising are two different things. Advising someone that their is no basis for this practice should not be taken personally by anyone as the Prophet himself described the religion as Advice.

Don't you want to put up lights and decoration when a family member gets married or has a birthday? This celebration is for Rehmat-ul-alameen.. We should follow his teaching of honesty, tolerance and respect for all along with this celebration..

unfortunately all masjids in Karachi were literally empty on the next morning Fajr prayer. We don't perform what is mandatory but try to bring glamour in religion by celebrating what non of prophet companions celebrated..
