Eid Milad-un-Nabi or Mawlid is an Arabic term that translates to the “birthday of the prophet” in English which is observed on the 12th day of the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, which is the third month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It commences with the sighting of the moon. The day therefore, is celebrated every year as the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad by many Muslims across the world. This year, the celebration began from the evening of October 18 and will last till the evening of October 19, as per the Gregorian calendar.
