Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is just around the corner! The festival will take place this year from September 15 to September 16 in the evenings. Muslims around the world ponder and celebrate this unique day. This day in particular commemorates the birth and death of Prophet Muhammad.
What is Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi?
The occasion known as Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, or just Eid-e-Milad, honours the life and demise of Prophet Muhammad.
He is regarded as Allah's last messenger. The Islamic calendar's third month, Rabi' al-Awwal, is when it is observed. Due to the Islamic calendar's reliance on lunar cycles, the date of this event changes annually. The event takes place in 2024 from Sunday, September 15, in the evening, to Monday, September 16, in the evening.
What does history say?
The prophet Muhammad is thought to have been born in Mecca in 570 AD. On the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal, Sunni scholars observe his birth, whereas Shia academics celebrate it on the 17th. In addition to commemorating his birth, the festival serves as a time of grief over his untimely death in 632 AD. Large-scale Eid-e-Milad celebrations started around 600 years after the Prophet's passing; the first known celebrations took place in Egypt during the Fatimid dynasty. According to several historical reports, this ritual might have started in Iraq or Syria.
How is Eid-e-Milad celebrated?
Eid-e-Milad is a day filled with prayers, gatherings, and acts of charity. Muslims around the world celebrate by:
- Wearing new clothes: Many people choose to don new attire to mark the occasion.
- Praying and reflecting: Special prayers and reflections are held, both at mosques and in homes.
- Feasting and sharing: Families come together to share festive meals, and there’s an emphasis on charity, with many donating to those in need.
- Visiting religious sites: People often visit mosques, shrines, and dargahs to pay their respects and seek blessings.
Even while Eid-e-Milad is observed by many Muslims, not all Islamic customs do. For example, Eid-e-Milad is not seen as a tradition originating in the early days of Islam but rather as a later innovation by some traditions such as Wahhabism, Deobandism, and Ahl-i Hadith. Not many nations, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, formally observe this day.
As Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi 2024 draws near, it's a wonderful opportunity to send greetings and well wishes to loved ones. This is a moment to share happiness and appreciation, whether via cards or feasts.
