- The Qur’an tells us that Allah (SWT) is the Sustainer of all creation, and He created all things for our benefit. We should thank Him for His blessings, and we should not waste anything He has given us.

The Quran tells us that it is makruh to celebrate birthdays. This means that it is an act that should be avoided but one that is not haram. The Quran only talks about the ceremony and not the celebration itself. This is because the laws are not meant for Muslims alone but for everyone living on Earth. The Quran wants us to shun celebrating birthdays because it wants us to remember Allah and thank Him for our blessings.
