Eid Milad-un-Nabi is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Muslims around the world.

This year, Eid Milad-un-Nabi will be celebrated on September 27 in Saudi Arabia and on September 28 in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other subcontinent regions.  

The exact date of the Prophet Muhammad’s birth is unknown, so the date of Eid Milad-un-Nabi is determined by the sight of the moon at the beginning of Rabi-ul-Awwal. This day is also known as Mawlid or Mawlid al-Nabi in many countries.

In addition to prayer and remembrance, Muslims also celebrate this day with feasting, giving charity, singing religious songs, and engaging in other social activities. The celebration of Eid Milad-un-Nabi also includes the recitation of naats (poems praising Prophet Muhammad).
