Id-e-Milad is the Muslim religious observance of the birthday of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad which is commemorated in Rabi' al-awwal, the third month in the Islamic calendar. Muslims are visiting mosque and attend Namaz and honour Prophet Mohammad who was born in the city of Mecca in Arabia and the day is marked with processions in honour and praise for the Prophet.
Muslims gather for the special prayer which is like thanksgiving to the Almighty for the blessings bestowed on the follower. The teachings of Prophet Mohammad are discussed. On this day often men wear Jubbhas and women wear Abayas and normally the colours chosen for the dresses are white and green. The month is considered as emotionally and spiritually stimulating period by the Muslims make lot of preparations much before the month starts.
It is held that the word Islam, meaning 'peace and submission' is the name given by God Almighty Allah to the religion revealed by Him to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) through the Holy Qur'an.
According to Islam, the true purpose of a human being's life is the worship of God, the attainment of His understanding and complete devotion to Him. It is believed that a Muslim's first duty is to His Creator by worshipping Him and to follow His commands known as "Haqu-Allah." The second duty of the followers is to serve humanity. This duty is called "Haqul-Ibaad" and the follower is meant to show his or her love for His Creator by expressing love and compassion for all His creation.Prime Minister Modi greets nation on Id-E-Milad
