Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is the festival of Islam religion, which is celebrated in memory of the birth of Prophet Hazrat Mohammad Saheb and his teachings. According to the Islamic calendar, this festival comes on the 12th of the Rabi-ul-Awaal month. This year it took place on 5 September and on this day Muslims from all over the world are celebrating it with great pomp.

Why celebrate third Eid

The importance of this day is not only because it is the day of the birth of Prophet Mohammad Saheb, but it is also believed that he also died on this day. This is the reason why it is seen in two ways in Muslim society. Some people consider it a day of happiness and celebration, while some consider it an opportunity for mourning and introspection. This is its specialty, which makes it different from other Eids.

Eid-e-Milad is very important

Prophet Mohammed was born on the land of Mecca in about 570 AD. At that time the society was surrounded by darkness and evils. It is believed that the arrival of Prophet Sahab took place to remove the same darkness and to run humans on the path of truth, equality and justice. Because of this, his birthday is considered not just a celebration, but a symbol of a spiritual message.

There is only two Eid mention in Islam

In the religion of Islam, only two Eids are directly mentioned, the first Eid-ul-Fitr, called sweet Eid, and Eid-ul-Azha, ie Eid of Qurbani. But the birthday of Prophet Mohammad Saheb is so important that it has also been recognized as Eid. This year the importance of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi has increased further, as it is also an opportunity to complete 1500 years of the birth of Prophet Mohammad Saheb.

Overall, Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is not just a religious festival, but to remember the teachings of faith, spirituality and Prophet Mohammad Saheb. This day reminds Muslims that the path of justice, kindness and equality is the message of real humanity.
