1. Recognize both sides love the Prophet ï·º
Those who celebrate want to honor him.
Those who reject want to protect his Sunnah.
Different approach, same intention of love.
2. Avoid labeling others as kafir or deviant
Saying “You’re kafir because you celebrate/don’t celebrate” is extreme and wrong.
Scholars throughout history disagreed without declaring each other unbelievers.
3. Celebrate in a halal way (if you do it)
If someone chooses to celebrate Mawlid: keep it halal — Qur’an recitation, dhikr, seerah (life story of the Prophet ï·º), charity, feeding people.
Avoid haram practices like free-mixing, music with bad lyrics, or exaggerating the Prophet ï·º beyond his human status.
4. Respect those who don’t celebrate (if you don’t do it)
If someone chooses not to celebrate: don’t mock those who do.
Just focus on following Sunnah as you understand it.
5. Unity over division
Islam is already divided enough.
Better to unite on Qur’an, Sunnah, salah, zakat, fasting, and hajj — than to fight over Mawlid.

✅ In short:
If you celebrate Mawlid → do it with halal, pure intention.
If you don’t celebrate → don’t insult those who do.
Both sides can coexist with mutual respect.
