Eid-e-Milad is celebrated in the memory of Prophet Muhammed(S.A.W.). The Holy Prophet was born on the 12th day of Rabi-ul-Awwal(Name of islamic month) in 570 (islamic year) Saudi Arabia, Mecca. Rabi-ul-Awwal is the third month of the Muslim year. Eid-e-Milad is a time to rejoice. The festival is not new but many centuries old. It was declared a national holiday in many Muslim countries.

It is also referred as Mawlid an-Nabi and Milad an-Nabi in Arabic the word "Mawlid" is an Arabic word, which literally means to give birth child.

Eid-e-Milad is commonly celebrated in all Muslim countries to honor Prophet Muhammed(S.A.W.)who introduced Islam and revolutionized the religious scene in the Middle East in the following years. Eid-e-Milad is not only celebrated in Muslim countries but also in other non-Muslim places where there is a large population of Muslim like as India. Most educational and governmental offices are closed on this day, in India. Despite being a Muslim country, Saudi Arabia has not declared Eid-e-Milad as a national holiday.

Barah Wafat

This festival is also referred to as, 'Barah Wafat' which stands for the 12 days of sickness of the Prophet, before he passed away. The day is for both mourning and celebrating. 
Prayers are held throughout the month. On the twelfth day of the month Muslims remember the Holy Prophet and his teachings. Mourning on this day is not practiced at all because according the Sunni Muslims believe that mourning for the dead beyond three days hurts the departed soul.

In India, people carry out processions chanting praises of the Holy Prophet and Imam Hazrat Ali. These processions are decorated with fruits, flowers or even scenes depicting religious sites, episodes and figures. The sweet dish 'Kheer' (sweet porridge made of rice) is prepared as a tradition in Muslim homes. Whereas in Saudi Arabia prayers are held, sweets are prepared and the Prophet is remembered through his words.

The religion of Islam celebrates three different Eids, Eid-ul-Fitr (Ramzan Eid), Eid-ul-Zuha (Bakri Eid) and Eid-e-Milad (Prophet Muhammed's Birthday). All these stand for different occasions. Muharram is the Islamic New Year, it is not a time for merry-making and celebration but a time to remember the sacrifices of the holy ones.
