Eid-Milad-un-Nabi

Birth Anniversary of Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (P.B.U.H). On 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal - the 3rd month of Islamic Calendar.

The 12th of Rabi-al-Awwal (3rd month of Islamic calendar) is celebrated as the birthday of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) with religious zeal and fervour. The roads, shops and other buildings are skillfully decorated with buntings and lights to express love and devotion to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him). Special conferences are held to project the peacefulness of the religion of Islam and the way the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) desired it to be followed. How sad it is that factions of Muslim hardliners have given a new and ugly dimension to this peaceful religion by terrorizing the world. This certainly isn't the Islam Allah and His Prophet wanted. Islam continues to be a religion of peaceful co-existence despite what some radicals are trying to portray it otherwise.
