Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad gave this lecture at a Milad conference held by the Naqshbandiya Foundation for Islamic Education in the early 1990s. He talks about the importance of celebrating the mawlid, performing the sunnah on all levels (Islam, Iman, Ihsan) and many more dimensions of the mawlid (also called milad or mawlud).
