The one who came to enlighten the world
Influenced everyone with his words and actions
Tran formed the evil into goodness
Eradicated each difference
Of color, cast, and creed
Gave rights to each human being
No matter how he or she is
Indeed the best one
It has the goodness in the heart
In the Islamic calendar 12 Rabi-ul-Awal is being celebrated as the day of delight and happiness as our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S. A.W) came into this world. This is how my prophet is being admired by non-Muslim authors;
My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.
Let me share how we Muslims celebrate this day.
National Holiday;
In Pakistan, there is a special holiday on this occasion. Government buildings are being decorated with lightning. This looks awesome. In the president's house, a special event is being held which is broadcast live.
Prayers and praises;
Throughout each month each person attempts to pray by sending Sallam to the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty. In dedication, everyone recites the Holy Quran and holds Mehfil e Melad in a home where praises are being sent in the form of Natt and Sallam. In the end, special prayers are being made for the health, wealth, prosperity, and peace of everyone. Ladies and kids show special intention to perform this holy work.
The delight can be seen on the face of each person who has a firm belief that in the Day of Judgment He/she would get approved because of his/her love with the messenger of Allah Almighty. Special dresses are being made to celebrate this event of joy.
Special Procession;
Throughout the different cities, an enormous amount of people of all ages participate in it. They carry dogs and posters with them which indicate their love and joy for this happening. Kids especially dress up along with the beautiful badges. This is a peaceful ul parade in which food is served to all the participants. Either it can be Biryani, a sweet dish, drinks or something else.,
Roads are being decorated specially. The memorials of Kabbah and Mosque Nabwi are made.
Decorations:
This is my favorite part, everyone wants to decorate his/her home in the best manner. Either lightening or preparing the walk walk-through by using the flowers. Green colors remain dominant while adorning the stages and homes.
Food;
Specifically, dishes are being prepared and distributed among the neighbors, and neigh neighbors is the Eid for each Muslim. Preparing food is for the purpose to gain prosperity and peace at home.
Specifically, Melad is being held in each home to achieve the same objectives. Lectures preach the divine message by Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W). With utmost respect and love, people listened to and listened to these lecturers. Cakes are being prepared specially on this day.
No matter if you are religious or not but the love for the Last messenger is in the heart of each Muslim,
So this is how we Muslims, celebrate this divine and delightful event of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW).Thanks for reading about this cultural day.
