Re: Eid Milad un Nabi Festivities

@Reha

I don’t disagree with Milad Un Nabi. I find it to be a beautiful occasion which should be full of the mention of our Prophet (SA), his life, his work and his message. But I don’t consider it “Eid” though because as far as I know there are only two Eids in Islam. There’s never been any other mention of another “Eid” and we’re wrong to call it that. I don’t think anyone can even deny this.

1. Whats the meaning of Eid in Arabic? It just means feast or an occasion that returns and repeated. Urdu word (ee’aada) got same root as ‘Eid’ and it means to do an act repetitively.

Eid Milad u Nabi is called Eid for it recurrence. Everyone knows that those who celebrate it, doesn’t go for Eid prayers like Eid ul Fitr or Eid ul Adha. Its been centuries that this is being celebrated across Muslim world, there is no single incident of Eid prayers on Eid Milad u Nabi? Am I right?

2. Is it only Eid Milad u Nabi that is referred as Eid in Muslim world, other than Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul adha?

No. Many festivals / occasions in Shia and Agha-khani community are referred to as Eid (with Eid prayers of course).

Eid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

3. Use of word Eid in Quran with reference to Hazrat Isa (AS):

Surat Al-Ma’idah [5:114] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
