Mawlid aka Eid milad e nabi, is also celebrate many Arab countries
The earliest observation of the Prophet's birth as a holy day was arranged privately somewhere in the late twelfth century. The only difference from before was that there was an increased number of visitors to the Mawlid house that was open for the whole day specifically for this celebration. This particular event took place on Monday, 12 Rabi'i,[9] which is commonly known as the third month of the Islamic calendar that is associated with the beginning of Spring.[10] This celebration was introduced into the city Sabta by Abu 'l'Abbas al-Azafi as a way of counteracting Christian festivals and to strengthen Muslim identity.[11] Abu 'l'Abbas's son Abu 'l-Kasim propagated the festival after he seized power in 1250. Implementing these festivities and the celebration of Mawlid as a holy day increased Abu 'l-Kasim's popularity among the people, demonstrating the political role that this holy day played throughout history.[11]
Traditionally, Sunni scholars have approved celebration of Mawlid-un-Nabi, the exception being Wahhabi scholars, who do not.[16][17]
In the Muslim world, the majority of Islamic scholars are in favor of Mawlid. They consider observing Mawlid necessary or permissible in Islam, and see it as a praiseworthy event and positive development,[16][17] while the Ahl al-Hadith say it is an improper innovation and forbid its celebration. One of the most acceptable leader of Salafiyyun, Ibn Taymiyya forbade Mawlid celebration.
