ØMawlid an-Nabi: The birth of the Islamic prophet Muhammed.
ØAccording to the majority of Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims, Muhammad was born on the 12th of Rabi' al-awwal!
ØPoetry and songs composed to honour Muhammad (peace be upon him) were recited and sung to the crowds.
ØIt started in 1207 with Muẓaffar al-Dīn Gökburi as an annual public festival in Erbil (modern day Iraq). It soon spreaded across the Muslim world. Since Saladin and Gokburi were both Sufis the festival became increasingly popular among Sufi devotees.
ØMawlid is celebrated in almost all Islamic countries, and in other countries that have a significant Muslim population, such as Ethiopia, India, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, France, Germany, Italy, Iraq, Iran,Maldives, Morocco, Jordan, Libya, Russia and Canada.
ØIn Turkey, Mawlid (Turkish: Mevlid Kandili or "the candle feast for the Prophet's birthday") is widely celebrated. Traditional poems regarding Muhammad's life are recited both in public mosques and at home in the evening.
