Milad-Un-Nabi:
The Muslims celebrate the festival of
Miald-un-Nabi, or Bara Wafat with eclat and enthusiasm all
over the country. It commemorates the birthday of Hazrat
Mohammed and falls on the Twelfth Day of the month of
Rabi-ul-Awwal. Prophet Mohammed was born in 571 A.D. on 12th
April at Mecca in Arabia. Abdulla was his father and Amina
his mother. Khadiza was Mohammed’s wife. That was the
period of moral chaos and great corruption. Mohammed spent
his time in prayer and mediation in seclusion. He led the
people on the path of morality and true religion.
On the day of Milad the Prophet’s
teachings are repeated, the holy Koran is read and
religious meetings are organized in the mosques. The
devotees keep night vigil, spend their time in Namaz and
reading of Koran. They invite friends and relatives to
feast, and offer food, clothing money, etc. to the poor.
