Eid Al Mawlid

Eid Al Mawlid is the celebration of our Prophet’s birthday on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabii One. In Tetuan, as well as as in many cities in Morocco we decorate our houses and mosques and we go to watch street processions. The  most famous famous is the Sale procession. It is a procession of candles which are made with multiple colours and travels the main streets of the city towards the one of the mosques. It is also an occasion to gather and read stories of the Mawlid,  give  speeches and read qasidahs (odes) in memory of this great man. We also wear traditional clothes such as Djellabas and Kaftans, visit our relatives and friends, donate charity and pray Allah to join our prophet in the afterlife. So, Al Mawlid is turly an opportunity to revive the memory of our loved prophet Mohamed, peace be upon him in an atmosphere of spirituality and pure devotion.

  2. Dear Oumaima,

    You have done a good job describing this great event. Our Prophet Mohamed (Peace be upon Him) is a great Man and not many pepole know that. The celebrations in Morocco varies from city to city which is a fantastic expression of our love to Him and that 's what I love most about our country: The diversity in unity.
