Note: True Muslims Must Not Celebrate Birthdays. What's There To Be Fascinated About Becoming Older?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


Alhamdulillah. There's no such thing as celebrating birthdays in Islam. The best of all human beings namely the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam never celebrated the day on which he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was born, so why should we act like we're so infatuated or in love with ourselves by inviting additional expenses in setting up birthday parties each year to remind how old we're getting? How are you so fascinated by the fact you're becoming older day by day? "Happy bday to me, I'm going to be one of the elderly, yippee" doesn't seem appealing.

Glad tidings Inn-sha-Allah to those who don't celebrate their birthdays and who edited their date of birth on some or all social networking platforms so some website doesn't need to remind us of how old we're getting by the minute.
