Mawlid celebrations

Mawlid is the observance of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, celebrated by many Muslims around the world. It is marked with religious gatherings, recitations of the Quran, poetry, and stories recalling his life and teachings. Some communities hold processions, distribute charity, and enjoy special meals. The celebration aims to honor Muhammad's role as a spiritual guide and to encourage reflection on his example. While practices vary among cultures and groups, Mawlid generally fosters unity, spiritual renewal, and appreciation for Muhammad's contribution to moral and social values.
