Felicitations to world Muslims on Eid al-Mab’ath

Muslims in Iran and across the world celebrate the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Mab’ath — the anniversary of the divine appointment of the Holy prophet of Islam Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as God’s messenger.

Eid al-Mab’ath is a public holiday in many countries including Iran. Muslims in Iran and the whole world hold ceremonies to mark the occasion, which falls on the 27th of the month of Rajab on the lunar calendar.  

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last prophet that was elected by God, and no other prophets have been chosen after him.

In Iran, Muslims gather at holy cities and sites, including Mashhad and Qom, to attend religious feasts.

People cherish and celebrate the event by congregating in mosques for various programs, visiting friends and family, handing gifts to children, and spreading joy with different rituals unique to each region.

People also distribute sweets and congratulate each other on the streets and in previously-decorated mosques.

In the video attached, you can see how the Prophet of Islam was named Muhammad in acclaimed iFilm movie 'Muhammad: the Messenger of God’ by Majid Majidi.

Muhammad means "the one who is praised" and it is a fitting name for the Prophet who would go on to change the world. His father, Abdullah, had died before he was born and his mother, Amina, was told by a dream that he would be a great leader.
