Eid Milad-un-Nabi or Eid-e- Milad is mainly celebrated by Muslims who belong to the Sufi or Barelvi school of thought. Celebrated during Rabi’al-awwal, the third month of the Islamic calendar, it marks both the birth and death anniversary of Prophet Mohammed. While the celebration of Prophet Mohammed’s birthday was started by the Fatimids and dates back to the early four Rashidun Caliphs of Islam, there are many Muslims who believe that the birthday celebrations of the Prophet does not exist in Islam. According to them, any other festival, except for Eid al-Fitr and Eid-e-Adha is a innovation in religion.
