What is Mawlid or the Prophet’s Birthday?
The Birth of the Prophet or mawlid as it is known in colloquial Arabic is the observance of the birth of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad which coincides with the 3rd month of the Islamic Calendar. Every year, on this day tens of thousands of Muslims across the world celebrate the birth of the Prophet, honouring his life.
The Prophet was believed to be the most important messenger of God to whom the Quran was revealed. Devotees decorate their homes, visit mosques to listen to speeches about the Prophet, and partake in the communal meals organized.
