Eid-e-Milad Holy Eid Milad-Un-Nabi today
Dhaka, Sept 28: Today, Thursday (12 Rabiul Awal), is the holy Eid Milad-Un-Nabi. About one and a half thousand years ago, on this day in the year 570, the auspicious appearance of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was sent as a mercy to the human race, took place. The day is known as the holy Eid Milad-Un-Nabi to the Muslim Ummah. On this day of 570 (12 Rabiul Awal), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born in the lap of mother Amina in the noble Quraish clan of the city of Mecca, Arabia.
Before the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the whole of Arabia was plunged into darkness. At that time the people of Arabia were indulging in various misdeeds forgetting God Almighty. Anarchy and disorder arose everywhere in Arabia. This era was called the era of 'Iyame Jahiliyyah'. Then people indulged in quarrels and quarrels and worshiped idols. Almighty Allah sent Rasulullah (PBUH) to the world to show them the way of light with the liberation of mankind from this dark age.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) fell in love with Allah at a very young age and often meditated in the cave of Mount Hera. At the age of twenty-five, the Holy Prophet was married to Bibi Khadijah. At only 40 years of age, he attained Nabyuyat Love or nearness to the Great Lord.
It is stated in the Holy Qur'an, "Allah Rabbul Alamin would not have created the world if He had not created the Prophet". Due to these reasons and the reality of the Arab world at that time, the importance and significance of this day (Holy Eid Miladunnabir) is very high. The world Muslim community including Bangladesh observes this day as Miladunnabi on Eid.
Meanwhile, President Md. Shahabuddin and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave separate messages today on the occasion of Eid Milad-Un-Nabi (PBUH). In the message, they called upon everyone to follow the life style of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and take a vow of fraternity and human welfare.
The government, various political parties and organizations have undertaken various programs to celebrate Miladunnabi on the holy Eid with religious solemnity and due dignity. These programs include discussions on the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), milad and doa mahfil.
