Hyderabad : Hyderabad celebrated the 1500th Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi on Monday with traditional zeal and fervour, renewing the pledge to transform their lives in line with the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed.
The celebrations were indoors owing to the ongoing Ganesh festivities and the Milad procession will be taken out from the historic Mecca Masjid on Thursday.
The Milad-un-Nabi celebrations began on Sunday evening across the city, as several localities particularly in Old city were beautifully decorated for the celebrations. Special prayers were offered in mosques on Monday for upholding and flourishing of Islam and unity, solidarity, progress, and welfare of the Muslims.
On this occasion, people distributed sweets, snacks, juices and water among others, besides distribution of food. Blood camps were also organised on this special occasion to remind the youth about the Prophet’s teachings of equality, empathy, and love for each other. The community Aasar-e-Mubarak (Relics of Prophet Mohammed) have also been displayed at Mecca Masjid, Masjid-e-Shattariya, Quadri Chaman in Falaknuma, Dargah-e-Yousufain in Nampally and other places in the city.
