Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi 2026 is a special occasion for many Muslims throughout the world to remember Prophet Muhammad and his teachings and message. Also known as Mawlid, Milad-un-Nabi or Eid Milad, this is the day to honour the Prophet's birth and is celebrated with prayers, religious meet ups, recitations and acts of charity in many communities.
Eid-e-Milad varies from country to country and from culture to culture.
