Eid Milad

Re: Eid Milad

@kchughtai

could someone elaborate how do you celebrate birthday of the holy prophet (pbuh)? In Jammat-e-Ahmadiyya, we hold ‘Seerat-un-nabi’ jalsas, where different aspects of his(pbuh) seerah are elaborated and naats are recited etc. The main difference is that we don’t fix a particular day to celebrate rehmat-ul-lilaalameen.

This is similar to the ways I have seen it done.

Sometimes it is connected to a dzikr gathering and at the end they do a salat-u-salam.

The format is this:

Optional: Start with Dzikr
Recitation of Hadith on description of RasoolAllah (SAW)
Points of Sirah that elaborate on him (SAW) as a person
Reading of Barzanji Sharif
Naats and Nasheeds
Optional: Salat-o-Salam

These are done on Mondays, Thursdays throughout the year … up to five or six times and on 12 Rabi’ul Awal if possible. I guess the Ahmadi tradition of it came from Sunnis anyway …

Here is some more information about mawlid and including the mawlid:
