Mosques in Cairo Ready to Host Celebrations on Milad-un-Nabi

IQNA – Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) mosques in Egypt, especially the Imam Hussein (AS) Mosque and Sayyidah Zainab Mosque in Cairo are being prepared for Milad-un-Nabi celebrations.

The celebrations mark the anniversary of the birthday of God’s last messenger (PBUH). 

Lighting up and decorating the mosques and organizing Ibtihal recitation and Quran recitation programs and speeches about the Seerah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) are among the activities during the celebrations.

People and mosque worshippers are also served with pastry and sweet drinks.

Mustafa Abdul Salam, the imam and preacher of the Imam Hussein (AS) mosques said Egyptians love the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and honoring Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) originates from this love.

He described the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a great and blessed day and congratulated all Muslims and Arabs on the coming of the auspicious occasion.

In recent years, some extremists have objected to holding celebrations on the birth anniversary of the last messenger of God calling such events deviant and polytheistic.

However, Muslims scholars in Muslim countries like Egypt have approved of the celebrations, stressing the importance of honoring the status of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
