The holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi, marking the day of birth and passing away of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), will be observed across Bangladesh on Monday with due religious solemnity.
On this day in 570, the 12th of Rabiul Awal of the Hijri calendar, Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Makkah with divine blessings and messages of peace for mankind. He also passed away on the same day.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Chief Adviser to the interim government Prof Muhammad Yunus issued separate messages greeting the people of Bangladesh and the Muslims across the world on the eve of the day.
In his message, President Mohammed Shahabuddin said the holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi is a sacred and glorious day for the Muslims of the whole world. Allah had sent Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) to this world as 'Rahmatullil Alamin', a blessing for the entire universe, he added.
He (Muhammad) had emerged as 'Sirajam Monira', the enlightened light in the world, said the President, adding, "He showed the path of light in the era of sinful acts, injustice, falsehood and darkness and established a society based-on truth, beauty and justice."
The speeches of the Prophet (PBUH) in his last Hajj will remain as the pathfinder for mankind forever, he added.
"May the Almighty Allah grant us to work for the welfare of the country, nation and humanity by following the noble ideals of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Ameen," he added.
