Religious fervour marks Eid-e-eMilad-un-Nabi

The holy Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi (SM), marking the anniversary of birth and demise of Prophet Muhammad (SM), was celebrated with religious fervour and solemnity by the Muslims in the twin cities.  On this day in 570, the 12th of Rabiul Awal of the Hijri calendar, Muhammad (pbuh) was born in Makkah of Saudi Arabia with divine blessings and messages of peace for mankind. He also passed away on the same day. The day was a public holiday.

The Muslims across the state capital joined special prayers marking the Eid. Various religious and socio-cultural organisations and political parties, mosques and madrasahs, chalked out elaborate programmes, including milad mahfil, discussion and Qurankhwani, on the occasion.  They remembered the noble teachings of the venerable Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and prayed that there be harmony, brotherhood and peace all around. Prophet Mohammad showed humanity the righteous path of compassion and universal brotherhood, they recalled.
