The Mawlid al-Nabi is celebrated by all Muslims in their common love for the last and greatest of God’s messengers to mankind. As such, this fervent and ubiquitous celebration of the birth of prophet Muhammad (S) indelibly marks his Ummah and gives them their unique Muhammadan character. The Islamic nature of the Mawlid celebrations and their natural and providential role in holding the Ummah of Muhammad within a single fold were obvious to our predecessors but call for some explanation in our day.
