Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born Arabia in the city of Mecca on
the 12th day of Rabi-ul-Awwal (about A. D. 570), which was Monday
the 20th day of April, 571 A.C.
The birthday celebration of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and is
celebrated by Muslims
as Eid-e Milad. (Also known as Milad al-Nabi, Milad-e Nabi
- Milad-un Nabi - Maulid) it is marked by Koranic recitals during
the day and religious gatherings throughout The Gambia at night
to last until the morning called Gamo.
The Mawlid al-Nabi was first observed around the thirteenth century
and was preceded by a month of celebration. There is evidence
that the Prophet, his Companions, and the early followers after
them did not celebrate or otherwise observe his birthday.
