Refuting some false claims of the celebrators of Al-Mawlid - Sixth Claim

Sixth claim: If Jumu'ah (Friday) has a special virtue and is honoured due to the fact that Aadam, peace be upon him, was born on that day, as the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: "… And Aadam was born on it (Jumu'ah)", then surely the Prophet's birthday is worthier because he is the most honourable of all the Prophets.

Refutation: The virtues of Jumu'ah are well established; it is a weekly holiday and a celebration for the Muslims. Although Aadam, peace be upon him, was born on Jumu'ah as the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: "The best of your days is the day of Jumu'ah, and Aadam was born on it." It is a lie upon the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to claim that Islaam glorified and honoured Jumu'ah because of the birth of Aadam on that day. Those who make such a claim only do so to use it as a foundation for their argument of celebrating Al-Mawlid.

We need to bear in mind that the same Islamic texts (the Qur'aan and Sunnah) which glorified and honoured the day of Jumu'ah are those that intentionally and deliberately did not mention anything about, nor honour the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Therefore, giving the same ruling to both events, when Islaam did not legislate for one and did so for the other, is an extremely evil, corrupt and false double-standard. Allah says that which translates as: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed my favour upon you and have approved for you Islaam as a religion." (Al-Maa’idah: 3).

The Prophet sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam forbade singling out Jumu'ah for fasting or optional night prayers (Qiyaam) when he said: "Do not single out the night of Jumu'ah for Qiyaam, nor its day with fasting unless you habitually fast it." (Muslim).
