The holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi, believed to be the anniversary of the birth and demise of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), is being observed across Bangladesh on Saturday with due religious solemnity.
According to some scholars, Prophet Muhammad was born in Makkah of Saudi Arabia on this day in 570 AD with divine blessings and messages of peace for mankind. He also passed away on the same day, some scholars claim.
The day is a public holiday in Bangladesh. Muslims across the country will join in special prayers marking the day.
Various religious bodies, socio-cultural organisations, political parties, mosques and madrasas, and Islamic Foundation, have chalked out elaborate programmes, including milad mahfil, discussions and Qurankhwani, on the occasion.
Bangladesh Betar, Bangladesh Television and other satellite TV channels and radio stations have lined up special programmes highlighting the significance of the day.
Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has issued message greeting the countrymen as well as Muslims across the world on the occasion.
