Mawlid

History

Mawlid marks the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, on 12 Rabi al-Awwal. Muslims remember his life with prayers, recitation of poems and songs in his praise, and teaching about his character. Many give food to the poor. Because the date follows the sighting of the new moon, it can differ by a day from the calculated date.
