Celebration of Mawlid An-Nabi, Seville

On Saturday, November 17, after the Salat de Isha (7:40 p.m.), the Mawlid an Nabi, birth of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, will be celebrated in the Mosque of the Plaza Ponce de León, with an evening of Dhikr and a speech by Hajj Khalid, on the love of the Prophet Mohammed, peace and blessings be upon him. Dinner will be served at the end.

The remembrance of the birth of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a luminous sign in the history of Islam; and it is worthy of this remembrance and celebration; and to gather for it to remember Allah, Glorified and Exalted, to study the Sira and all that is related to it, such as: feeding, guarding family ties, helping the needy, the orphans… and all that is to seek the Sunna (the beautiful example of the Messenger) to follow it and to take as an example its beautiful qualities of character. “Verily I have been sent to perfect the noble qualities of character.”

Love for the Messenger of Allah is to follow and imitate Him. Love for the Messenger is the determination to help him, the defense of his Sunna, submission to it, and the fear of opposing it. Love is the continuous remembrance of the beloved; love is preferring the beloved; love is the longing for the beloved; Love is the coincidence of the heart with what the beloved wants, loving what it loves and hating what it hates.
