Milad-un-Nabi Wallpapers

Milad-un-Nabi, also known as Mawlid or Eid-e-Milad, marks the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, observed on the 12th day of Rabi ul-Awal, the third month of the Islamic lunar calendar. In India, it is a national holiday and is celebrated with great enthusiasm by the Muslim community across all states. Mosques and homes are decorated with lights and green flags. Processions (juloos) pass through Muslim-majority neighborhoods with participants chanting naats (devotional poems praising the Prophet). In Lucknow, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata, and other cities, grand processions and public gatherings feature speeches about the Prophet life and teachings. Community meals are organized, and sweets are distributed. In Kashmir, special prayers are offered at the Hazratbal Shrine, which houses a relic believed to be a hair strand of the Prophet. In Kerala, the Beemapalli festival near Thiruvananthapuram draws large crowds. The celebration style varies — Sunni Barelvi communities celebrate with enthusiasm while some Deobandi and Salafi scholars consider elaborate celebrations as innovation.
