As explained above, all it shows is that we don’t have any recorded history of celebrating birthdays before paganism. That does not necessarily mean that birthdays were never celebrated. Pagans also used to perform animal sacrifices and we know that it is also an established practice of Prophets of God. Just because pagans used to celebrate birthdays does not make it haram either.
For something to be prohibited in Islam it has to have at least one of the following conditions: a ) it has an aspect of polytheism b ) it has an aspect of immorality c ) it was clearly prohibited in in the sources of Islam Birthday celebration does not meet any of these conditions. The most that can be said about birthdays is that it was one of the pagan rituals. That does not make it prohibited in Islam. Even if the practice originated with pagans, which is not even an established fact, the celebration still has nothing to do with paganism today. Birthdays are celebrated by people of different religions and cultures and no one thinks that by celebrating birthdays someone is symbolizing polytheism.
The Muslims have no festivals apart from Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, because of the hadith narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to Madinah and the people had two days when they would play and have fun. He said, ‘What are these two days?’ They said, ‘We used to play and have fun on these days during the Jahiliyyah. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘Allah has given you something better than them, the day of Ad-ha and the day of Fitr.’” (Sunan Abi Dawud, 1134) Kya ap is hadees ka status bta sakte hain aur ye bhi k Janab Javed Ahmad ghamidi is ko kis tarh explain krte hain kiun k is ma kahain nai likha sirf religious festivals janab Javed ahmad ghamidi ki YouTube lecture videos k nechy logon ny ye bhi pocha ha is hadees k mutaliq
