Mangalore, Feb 15: Muslim brethren from all over Dakshina Kannada district have been celebrating Eid- E- Miladunnabi on Tuesday February 15. They offered mass prayers and greeted each other on the festive occasion at the Idgah at the Light House Hill Road in the city and various other mosques all over the district today morning.
Prayer meets and religious discourses too have been organized in mosques to celebrate the occasion. On this day, people introspect on their past deeds and look for the ways to improve their behaviour towards becoming better human beings.
The day is celebrated to honour the birth and also the death of Prophet Mohammed. Coincidentally, the birth and death of Prophet Mohammed falls on the same day, and hence, instead of celebrating the day in a grand manner, people indulge themselves mostly in religious and social activities.
A grand procession was taken from Boobuka Masjid in the city via Golikatte Circle, Azizuddibn Road and Car street, to the Dargah at the Light House Hill here, in this connection.
Al Madrasa Tul Azaria president Yenepoya Mohammed Kunhi, vice-president, Haji SM Rashid, former mayor, K Ashraf, and secretary, Haneef Haji, were present.
The procession was guided by Mangalore Social Service Centre.
