Does anyone know if Nusrat was Shia? His grammatical constructs in the song are that followed by shia..salaamun instead of "al salaam"

I was told that in Suriname they put a chair in the center of the room during the milaad and they believe that the Prophet(saw) comes and sits amids them during the event...

Dara..I did not say that we explain the Quran using persianized terms. I said that "Durood" means sending Salams/Salawat to the Prophet (SAW).

This is not widespread among Indian Muslims. I've attended huge Milaad gatherings with Indian Muslims and I have never witnessed this.
Maybe its a specific group in Surinam that practices this.

I have attended and been privy to many complaints about this practice. Indian Muslims incorporate many of the beliefs of earlier religions into their views of Islam and the prophet...

Cool. But the terms used in the ayah are somewhat different to what the Quranic term allows us to understand...in a society such as that to which the Prophet came, one had to be very careful..which is why, according to some jurists, there are hadith that say he asked specifically that the Muslims not do to him what the Christians did to Jesus.

U raas too wutliss. I don't go for standing up. But one has to ask: is standing in our culture the same as it is for arabs? Yet we have the hadith wehre the prophet stood for a Jewish corpse. Contradiction. If by standing we mean no worship, I would. But i raas don't stand for no milaad and all that. Why they have to make that part of the wedding? That is friggin madness. I hope they had good curry.

If you want the darood, listen to the master here. Give it a few seconds till the first guy finish whatever he was saying. Rafi playing it safe. He went to tauheed first then tazeem. :))

But he got the most golden voice I have ever had the honor of hearing.

In the Colonialist time, when assembling was not permitted by the Colonial Masters, was celebration of the Holy Prophet's Birthday a ploy for the Muslim community to meet together thus strengthening Islam? As of the time we knew that no other religion was permitted to be practiced but one.
And at one time in order to get certain jobs, with the Govt, or to be in the Public Service, one has to be in certain religion to be qualified.

There has to be a reason why our fore parent started this trend, of course it originated from India or where ever they came from, but initially, there has to be some reason, and why if it is un Islamic, why was it allowed to continue all these gazillion of years.

Thanks to asjbhai's kindness, I do also. That rendition "O duniya ke rakhwale" is powerful. Over 7 minutes long with some great voice control and long notes. Rafi is in a class of his own.

The indians did not start the practice of the milaad. They just added stuff. It is possible that the assembly idea was part of it. But remember that a wrong practice may continue even if it is scripturally incorrect. The instittuins of Judaism, Christianiy and Islam are all replete with practices that under any thorough analysis would have to be considered heretical. Did Jesus ever wear those robes and advocate the ideas of Paul? did Muhammad ever want his followers to embark on the vengeful forays that they have become noted for? Did Jesus preach war? I won't even touch upon the judaic innovations...
