What would you say to making up a new holiday to celebrate the revealing of the first revelation to the Prophet PBUH? It would be another way to remember that event and its great significance. We could all get together and have another kind of Eid! Nothing wrong with that! We would just be remembering Allah and worshiping him in a new and exciting way.
That must of been kind of what the people that invented the Mawlid thought, except they wanted something more. They wanted a Muslim Christmas. They wanted to be like the Christians, and celebrate the birthday of the Prophet PBUH just like the birthday of Jesus PBUH is celebrated.
The thing is that the only ways we are supposed to worship Allah and act towards the Prophet have been revealed to us through revelation. If you do anything extra, you are doing something wrong.
