Birthday of the Messenger ﷺ, Saudi National Day, Christmas are not from the Eid of the Muslims

Benefit:

“Taking the birthday of the Messenger ﷺ as an ‘Eid, and September (Saudi National Day) as an ‘Eid, and December (Christmas) as an ‘Eid…until the end of it.

Eid, Eid, Eid!!! There’s is no evidence for it from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah. Even from them are those who encourage with celebrating the ‘Eid of the Arab Spring upon the minbars in the Khutbas, he encourages with this.

Blindness! Blindness! Upon a Muslim is to restrict himself with the proofs, how can one encourage the people upon reviving the day of Arab Spring?? Even upon the minbars that were made for the remembrance of Allaah:

يَٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

“O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jumu’ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu’ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salat (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!” [Jumu’ah: 9]

The minbars were made for the remembrance of Allaah and reviving the hearts, and warning from desires, and warning from running behind the Kuffaar!

جعل رزقي تحت ظل رمحي وجعلت الظلة والصغار على من خالف أمري ومن تشبه بقوم فهو منهم

“My provisions were placed underneath the shade of my spear, and humiliation and disgrace has been placed upon the one who opposes my commandments, and whoever imitates a people is from them.”[Declared Hasan by Shaykh ul-Islaam and Ibn Katheer and other than them]

So O people! Fear Allaah! Learn and study! Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim. Humble yourselves to the truth and to the Sunnah and act according to it. You will be saved by the punishment of Allaah. The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَجَعَلَ الْجَنَادِبُ وَالْفَرَاشُ يَقَعْنَ فِيهَا وَهُوَ يَذُبُّهُنَّ عَنْهَا وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَفَلَّتُونَ مِنْ يَدِي

“My example and your example is that of a person who lit a fire and insects and moths began to fall into it, and he would be trying to prevent them from the fire, and I am holding you all back by your waists from the fire, but you all are slipping away from my hands.”
