    The Meelad and Qiyam were not known in the age of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his companions and even in the age of TabÂ’een (those who followed the Companions). These things were innovated and introduced in later ages. Therefore, it is totally prohibited to follow such things and to condemn the Muslims who do not observe these acts. It is makrooh-e-tahreemi (undesirable to haram extent) to pray behind such imams who follow such customs. Believing that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is hazir and nazir is shirk (ascribing partner to Allah).
