Eid Milad-un-Nabi, also known as Mawlid or Eid-e-Milad, commemorates the birth of Prophet Muhammad. It is observed on the 12th day of Rabi' al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic lunar calendar. In India, Eid Milad-un-Nabi is being observed on August 26, 2026.

For Muslims around the world, the occasion is a time for reflection, prayer and gratitude, while remembering the Prophet's teachings on compassion, forgiveness, kindness and selflessness.
