Eid-e-Miladunnabi is here and it is time to celebrate and take lesson too. It is time to remember the teachings of the Prophet and follow the mission the Prophet dedicated all his life.
The Muslims in Bangladesh and elsewhere across the world will observe the Holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi today (Sunday) commemorating the birth of Great Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
Prophet Muhammad (SM) was born in Mecca on this day, the 12th of Rabiul Awal of Hijri calendar, 1,441 years ago to preach the message of peace for mankind. He also passed away on the same day in 632 AD.
What do people do?
Those who observe Eid-e-Miladunnabi gatherings remember, discuss and celebrate the advent of the Prophet Muhammad`s birth and his teachings. Some people send Eid-e-Miladunnabi e-cards to friends and family. Many Sunni Muslims celebrate this event on the 12th of the Islamic month of Rabi` al-awwal, while the Shi`a community celebrates it on the 17th of Rabi` al-awwal.
Many activities include:
01. Night-long prayer meetings.
02. Marches and parades involving large crowds.
03. Sandal rites over the symbolic footprints of the Prophet Muhammad.
04. Festive banners and bunting on and in homes, mosques and other buildings.
05. Communal meals in mosques and other community buildings.
06. Meetings to listen to stories and poems (nats) about Mohammad`s life, deeds and teachings.
07. Exhibitions featuring photos of mosques in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
Many people carry green flags or banners or wear green ribbons or items of clothing when taking part in these events. The color green represents Islam and paradise. Thousands of people attend prayers at the shrine across the world on the night before Miladunnabi. The relic is displayed in the mosque after the morning prayers.
Public life
Eid-e-Miladunnabi is a public holiday in Bangladesh. So, government offices, post offices and banks are closed on the day. Islamic stores, businesses and other organizations may be closed or have reduced opening hours.
Large prayer meetings, parades and marches may cause local disruption to traffic. This is particularly true of areas of Islamic states with a predominantly Muslim population.
