Lucknow
prays for peace on Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi Lucknow:
Muslims here on Tuesday took out a procession to celebrate the Eid-E-Milad-Un-Nabi,
the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad. A large number of Muslims participated
in the procession and appealed for unity to both Hindus and Muslims. “Both Hindus
and Muslims should celebrate their festivals together on this day when both Eid-E-Milad-Un-Nabi
and Holi are coinciding,” said Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mehli, a cleric.
Prayers were also offered for the progress and peace of the country. Born in 570
A.D., Mohammad is believed to be the last Prophet of Islam. He described himself
as the messenger of God and is said to have received ‘Koran’ from the Almighty
at the age of 40. Years later, he returned to Mecca, where the ‘Kaaba’ was established
as the goal of pilgrimage for Islamic devotees. The Prophet is believed to have
died in 632 A.D.

harmony and unity," she added. -
