Some of our brother's mis guided by some selfish people opposing it, its purly part of love and selfishness, may Allah grant them straight path ameen.

Allah makes all day is happy day, only people think as per there situation.

we hope one day we will eliminate this uncultur event.

What about our own children's birthdays.we have no issues for that right,when it comes our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A) why?

Unislamic Culture....

Innovated by Hottebakas. There is no importance for celebrating Eid Milad in Islamic Calender. In fact, Rabi Al-Awwal 12 was the final day of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in this world. Unfortunately, so-called Muslims & Mullas celebrating for a worldly favour. Very sad. May Allah protect us from Fitna. Ameen
