          Memperingati Hari Maulid Nabi         Muhammad SAW 12 Rabiul-Awwal 1445   Hijriah

   Selamat Memperingati Hari Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW

   Maulid Nabi adalah peringatan hari lahir Nabi Muhammad SAW, yang di Indonesia perayaannya jatuh pada setiap tanggal 12 Rabiul Awal dalam penanggalan Hijriyah. Kata maulid atau milad dalam bahasa Arab berarti hari lahir. Perayaan Maulid Nabi merupakan tradisi yang berkembang di masyarakat Islam jauh setelah Nabi Muhammad SAW wafat. Secara subtansi, peringatan ini adalah ekspresi kegembiraan dan penghormatan kepada Nabi Muhammad.

   Peringatan hari lahir Nabi Muhammad SAW diyakini telah dikenal sejak tahun kedua hijriah. Namun, ada juga yang meyakininya telah ada sejak zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW. Perayaan maulid Nabi SAW sudah dilakukan masyarakat muslim sejak tahun kedua Hijriah. Catatan tersebut juga merujuk pada kitab “Wafa’ul Wafa bi Akhbar Darul Mustafa” karangan Nuruddin.

   Seorang Jenderal dan pejuang muslim asal Kurdi bernama Salahuddin Ayyubi ingin merayakan maulid Nabi menjadi tradisi bagi umat islam di seluruh dunia. Namun, gagasan Salahuddin ditentang oleh banyak ulama, Akan tetapi Salahuddin menegaskan bahwa perayaan maulid Nabi hanyalah kegiatan menyemarakkan syiar agama. Maka pada bulan Dzulhijjah yang bertepatan dengan bulan ibadah haji, Salahuddin yang pada saat itu sebagai penguasa Haramain mengeluarkan instruksi kepada seluruh jamaah haji agar segera mensosialisasikan kepada masyarakat islam yang berada di kampung halamannya untuk merayakan hari lahir Nabi Muhammad SAW.

   Akhirnya pada tahun 580 Hijriah atau 1184 Masehi bertepatan tanggal 12 Rabiul-Awwal dirayakannya Maulid Nabi dengan berbagai kegiatan yang membangkitkan semangat umat Islam. Pada saat itu Salahuddin mengadakan sayembara penulisan sejarah Nabi dan dimenangkan oleh Syeikh Al-Barzanji. Sejak saat itu maulid nabi dirayakan di seluruh dunia.

   Selamat Memperingati Hari Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW 12 Rabiul-Awwal 1445 Hijriah!

        Commemorating the Birthday of the    Prophet Muhammad (SAW) 12 Rabiul-Awwal 1445 Hijriah

   Happy Commemoration of the Birthday of the Prophet

   Muhammad SAW Maulid Nabi is the commemoration of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, which in Indonesia is celebrated on every 12th of Rabiul Awal in the Hijri calendar. The word maulid or milad in Arabic means day of birth. The celebration of the Prophet’s birthday is a tradition that developed in the Islamic community long after the Prophet Muhammad died. In substance, this commemoration is an expression of joy and respect for the Prophet Muhammad.

   The commemoration of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad is believed to have been known since the second year of hijri. However, there are also those who believe it has existed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The celebration of the Prophet’s maulid has been carried out by the Muslim community since the second year of Ilijri. The record also refers to the book “Wafa’ul Wafa bi Akhbar Darul Mustafa” by Nuruddin. 

  A Kurdish general and Muslim fighter named Salahuddin Ayyubi wanted to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday as a tradition for Muslims around the world. However, Salahuddin’s idea was opposed by many scholars, but Salahuddin emphasized that the celebration of the Prophet’s maulid was only an activity to enliven the religious syiar. So in the month of Dhul Hijjah which coincides with the month of Hajj. Salahuddin, who at that time was the ruler of Haramain, issued instructions to all pilgrims to immediately socialize to the Islamic community in their hometowns to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad. 

   Finally, in 580 Hijri or 1184 AD, coinciding with the 12th of Rabiul-Awwal, the Maulid of the Prophet was celebrated with various activities that aroused the enthusiasm of Muslims. At that time Salahuddin held a competition to write the history of the Prophet and was won by Sheikh Al-Barzanji. Since then, the Prophet’s birthday has been celebrated all over the world. 

   Happy Birthday to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) 12 Rabiul-Awwal 1445 Hijri!
