Coinciding with 12 Rabiul early 1443 H, or October 19 2021, all Muslims around the world are interested in the birthday of the founder of the Islamic religion Prophet Muhammad SAW. Which is where his birth has brought changes to mankind in all corners of the world.

Not only in terms of culture and tradition, today's Muslims in the world respect this big day by carrying out various activities, such as holding a feast and holding religious symbols. All these activities can not be separated from the love and offerings to the Pioneer of Islam.

As it is known that the Prophet Muhammad SAW was born in Mecca on Monday the 12th of Rabiul the beginning of the year of the elephant, and died in Medina, Abdullah's father and mother Aminah descended from Bani Hashim. we can see on Google how a brief history of the life of the Prophet Muhammad, a human being sent by Allah as a prophet of the end times who brought a very big influence on Muslims in the world.

This morning, in the village where I live, a number of residents also held the event, they held a rice feast and various other activities called Mahabbah in Arabic. Love for Prophet Muhammad.

The event started from the morning until the evening, they served various kinds of food, meat fruits, and delicious pieces of cake to be shared and eaten together.

Meanwhile they invite and invite all elements of society, figures, government officials to enjoy the food.

The food consists of rice and various types of local culinary specialties wrapped in beautiful dishes with commemorative colored cloth under a hood that has been shaped with pointed decorations.

Handicrafts such as catering are also not left behind with very special dishes. Cold syrup drinks are provided to complete the perfection of the Islamic holiday.

The invited guests who were present brought shalawat to the lord of nature or in the Arabic book Jawi, Malay, called the Barzanzi poetry. All events are summarized in the nuances of joy and pleasure on the basis of love for him.

These traditions and culture are inseparable from religion, and the advice of religious leaders who regulate all applicable provisions of the event. I watched and noticed that everyone attending the event was very attentive.

In addition, in the cultural treasures and culture of the local community, it is called none other than Aceh, the event is Maulod or in the national language is Maulid.

There is no prohibition, for anyone is allowed to take part of the food. I am also waiting for the part to eat a packet of rice that has been provided.

No doubt, I myself brought a dish of food from home for me to relax so that we can eat together. Kenduri is not only able to develop a social sense in the body of people's lives, but can add to our sustenance in everyday life.

That's why in the end, I strongly agree and agree that the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad is an ibrah that we must glorify as gratitude and gratitude for our salvation. This is all I can post today, hopefully useful. What are the traditions and culture in your area today?
