Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi
Muslims constitute of the second largest population all across the world after the Christians. Thus, Eid is one of the widespread celebrated festivals. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the three types of Eid festival are a synopsis of the holy Quran and it's teachings. The celebrations are strictly based on the instructions mentioned in the Islamic religious book. Irrelevant of the place and environment they are living in, Muslims go to mosques and offer Namaz to the Almighty Allah with great dedication.
Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi
It was the holy 12th day of Rabi-Ul-Awwal, when Prophet Muhammad took birth on this earth to guide humankind to the path set by Allah with his teachings. Often called as the messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad has been designated as 'Maqam e Mahmood' by the believers and worshipers. The mosques are gleaming with the lights of joy, both symbolically as well as actually. Traditional sweets are distributed among the seekers and there is a celebratory aura all over. The rest of the day fasts are observed and prayers are offered with great devotion. Indeed the day is superior to all other festivals for Muslims as the great Muhammad was the ulterior medium to get closer to God and be enlightened of his greatness. Exchanging gifts amongst loved ones and having elaborate feasts at home are the highlight of all three types of Eid festivals. These occasions are a wonderful way to transcend the mundane world and look beyond the ultimate truth and light of humanity.
