Conversely, we should also be aware of those days, dates and areas wherein Divine anger was meted out to the nations. Tuesday is the day of blood because it was the day wherein Habeel was killed and Sayyidah Hawa علیہ السلام first experienced haiz. These events Occurred only once but because of them, the day became either reveredor abhorred.

If fixing or appointing something impels polytheism (shirk), then Darul Uloom Deoband will be the biggest Mushrik, because Deobandis themselves fix and appoint dates for exams, times for classes, rest, food, holidays, jamaat, etc. and salaries for their teachers, not to mention dates for any Nikah, Waleemah or Aqeeqah, etc. Do not bum down your home while attempting to make Meelad shirk.

These dates are fixed merely for convenience and habit. No one believes that Meelad is not possible on other dates besides the appointed ones. This is why Meelad Sharif, Fatiha, Urs, etc. occur throughout the year the world over, except of Course in DaruI-Uloom Deoband.

It should be noted that appointing or fixing a day or place is sometimes prohibited for a few reasons,

1. If the day or place has an association towards an idol or the Kuffaar (e.g. Holi, Diwali, Christmas, i.e. days of non-Muslim celebrations and "eminence"), to cook food or give out charity at temples in the respect of it (is prohibited). Once, a person vowed to slaughter a camel at a place called Bawaana. The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked him if there was any concentration or festival of the Kuffaar or idols there. When he said, "No," the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied, "Go and complete your vow." -Mishkaat, Baabun-Nazar

2. If there is a similitude to the Kuffaar in the appointing of the dates.

3. If these fixed dates are believed to be compulsory (Waajib). This is why keeping fast on only the day of Jurnaa has been prohibited because there is likeness towards the Jews in this action. - Mishkaat, Baabu-Saumin-Nafl.

Prohibition for this could have also been made to either stop people from believing this fast to be Waajib or because Jumaa is the day of Eid and should not be made a day of fasting.

These objections establish that the dissenters have no proof of impermissibility. They merely rule it to be Haraam out of their unholy and baseless deductions. They should take heed however, because,

مٹ گئے مٹتے ہیں مٹ جائیں گے اعداء تیرے

نہ مٹا ہے نہ مٹے گا کبھی چرچا تیرا

Ya Rasoolallahصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم! Your enemies have been, are being and always will be exterminated, but never has your remembrance been erased nor will it ever be eradicated.

Alahazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Barailwi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ .
