Why We Recite the Maulids
by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
Source: http://www.bmf.org/wisdom/maulids.html
Introduction
Maulid is an Arabic word meaning the celebration of a birthday, especially that of a prophet or saint.
In this discourse, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is referring to two celebrations: one for the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) during the month of Rabï-ul-Awwal, and one for Qutb Muhyiddïn ‘Abdul-Qädir al-Jïlänï (Ral.) during the month of Rabï-uth-Thänï. Because Qutb Muhyiddïn (Ral.) was born during Ramadän, the month of fasting, the celebration of his life is commemorated around the anniversary of his death.
The maulids last for eleven or twelve days, beginning after the late afternoon prayers (‘asr) and lasting for about three hours. During that time numerous prayers of remembrance (dhikr), traditional stories (ahädïth), and verses of praise (salawät) are recited.
In the following discourse, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) explains the purpose and benefit of observing these maulids - to honor the wise ones who are our helpers and to praise Allah for sending them to guide us.

I had gone to visit my teacher ONE day.
I was 17 years old.
His room had only window on it’s ceiling and it was with large and high ceiling.
His room is naked.
A fur.
A bed on the floor as well…
A jug, a bowl, that is all…
There was a very beautiful fragrance in it’s air…

..:..:…EVERYTHING SPINS FROM RIGHT TOWARDS LEFT…:..:…
Everything spins from right towards left.
There are immense true knowledge and the verse in the Qur’an in many places, pointing to the fact that the Sun is fixed and all stars are orbiting around it and also around their own axis. Today’s knowledge accepts it as a scientific truth that everything spins around it’s own axis since Galileo tapped his foot on the floor in the inquisition court and said “ Even now the world is turning: “Eppur si muove” [1].

The popularity of Hazrat-e Mawlânâ Jalâluddîn Muhammad Rûmî’s poetry in America, together with the wide recognition of the name of “Rûmî” is an amazing development. This article examines a key factor that has contributed to this popularization: the false view in many Western books and articles that sufism is something separate from Islam.

Prophet Issa (Jesus)
(May Allah’s Peace and Blessings be Upon Him)
A child asks Bawa Muhaiyaddeen: Who or what is Christ?
Bawa: You want to know about who Jesus, the Prophet Jesus is. He is your Soul. There is a ‘Kalima’ in Arabic that says, “La ilaha ill Allahu wa inni Issa Ruhulllah.” That is, “There is no god but ALLAH(God), there is a prophet to follow, and Issa is the Soul of Allah(God).” Now that is not something that you have found recently. Even before the creation of man a Ray (Noor) came from the Plenitude of Allah(God) and Allah(God) named that the Ruh or the Soul, and that is also named Issa.(A.S.)
Now this is not something that was said some thousand nine hundred odd years ago.
It was said, many, many millions of years ago, it was said, two hundred million years ago.
