DHAKA, Nov 21, 2018 (BSS) – The holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi, marking the birth
and demise of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), was observed in the country and
elsewhere today with due reverence and religious fervour.
On this day in 570, the 12th of Rabiul Awal of the Hijri calendar, Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Makkah of Saudi Arabia with divine blessings and
messages of peace for mankind. He also passed away on the same day.
President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave separate
messages greeting the countrymen and Muslims across the globe coinciding with
the occasion and seeking eternal blessing for the people’s welfare alongside
peace and harmony in the country and elsewhere in the world.
The day is a public holiday.
Bangladesh Betar, Bangladesh Television and private TV channels are airing
special programmes while newspapers published special articles highlighting
the significance of the day.
Like previous years, different social, cultural, religious, spiritual and
political organisations and different state-run organisations including the
Islamic Foundation (IF) have chalked out elaborate programmes to mark the
day. Various organisations at upazila level will hold discussions, milad and
doa mahfils highlighting the life of the Prophet.
On this occasion of Eid-e-Miladunnabi, special diets will be provided to
all hospitals, prisons, old homes, government child welfare and different
rehabilitation centres.
Tight security arrangements were taken across the country to ensure a
peaceful celebration of the Eid-e-Miladunnabi.
