If you are a Christian reading this article now, you might be wondering what is so special about this day that the Muslims are celebrating and also why the federal government declared today as public holiday to mark the celebration? Don't worry, I would be giving you detailed information about today's Eid.
Muslims around the world celebrate today to mark the birth of a prophet named Muhammad, he was born in the city of Makkah. Prophet Muhammad was the spirit of truth Jesus told his disciples that he would come and confirm the teachings and true religion of what other prophet came to teach their followers which is Islam.
He was born in the year 570CE to the family of Aminah and Abdullahi and the Muslims called his birth year the year of the elephant. It was an event that took place in Makkah when an Abyssinian army with their elephant tried invading and destroying the worship place built by Prophet Ibrahim called the Kaaba, the attack was not successful as Allah sent down a flock of birds with hot picked stone from Hellfire to destroy the army.
Before his birth, his dad died in Makkah when he visited his grandmother on his way back from a business trip and his mum also died when he was aged 6 from a brief illness, 3 years later his grandfather also died when he took the care of him.
