Eid Milad-un-Nabi is an annual festival that marks the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, and is celebrated by Muslims all over the world. The festival is observed on different days by the Shia and the Sunni sects, with Sunni scholars choosing the 12th Rabi ul-awwal to celebrate Eid Milad-un-Nabi. The celebrations and traditions of Eid Milad-un-Nabi usually involve the following:

• Decorations: Homes and mosques are decorated with colorful lights to celebrate the auspicious day. People also deck up in new clothes and spend the day together.

• Noble deeds: Giving to the poor and needy is an important part of the festival. According to one source, feeding a few poor and needy people and paying for a poor persons wedding or arranging clothes or other necessities of life for them are some ways to do noble deeds. Other suggestions include reconnecting with any relatives or Muslim brothers with whom ones relationship has been broken, fulfilling any religious, social, or human rights of anyone on us, and meeting non-Muslims and giving them a small gift along with a small book by an authentic Sunni scholar either of introduction to Islam or on virtues and excellence of the holy Prophet.

• Storytelling: Reciting stories about the life of Prophet Muhammad is another tradition that is followed on this day.

• Processions: People take out large processions remembering Prophet Muhammad.

• Play or drama: Choose a story from the life of the Prophet and get children (or adults) to perform a play.

These are some of the things that can be done during Eid Milad-un-Nabi. It is important to note that the celebration of Eid Milad-un-Nabi varies across different regions and cultures, and some of the traditions may not be applicable or relevant to all.
