Birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH%HP), or Jesus (PBUH) or any other Prophet, or Imams or Guardians, is the reason for celebration for the Islamic Umah, they celebrate these days so vibrantly in honor of those religious figures. The Mawlids are meetings where a Sheikh is called to tell how and where the story took place, and religious songs are sung and accompanied with Darbake (Arabic instrument), and people even dance the folk dabke. Like any Lebanese celebration food is never lacking. If you come by, do not let go one of these celebrations.Some other people do commemmorate in other ways, praying and reading the Holy Quran, and some celebrate in both ways.
