Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi Celebration
Momin Lodge, Torrance, CA
April
10, 2006
Monday, the
10th of April 2006 turned out to be the day when the masses were told about
the blessing that came upon the universe in the august person of the Holy
Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). The occasion was the celebration of
Eid-i-Milad-un-Nabi at Momin Lodge, Torrance, California.
Dr. Hasan Uddin Hashmi, the caretaker of Momin Lodge, has made sustained strivings
over the years in bringing together lovers of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
to celebrate the day. Recitations from the Holy Quran, Hamd-e-Allah Ta'ala,
Naat-e-Rasool (salallahoalaihewasalam), speeches on the life of the Prophet,
salat, darood, salam, and dua are the essential features of the day. The turnout
is impressive and this year too about 1000 devotees joined in the celebration
of the auspicious day.
Dr. Hashmi emceed the event and called naat readers and speakers to the stage
to highlight various aspects of the life of our beloved Prophet (peace be
upon him). Mohammad Anwar, Mohammad Rashid, sister Maher Alvi, sister Naghmana,
and brother Abuzar recited Naat-e-Rasul and Hamd-e-Ta’ala. It was a
most impressive sight with the audience spiritedly joining them in the recital
of the Hamd and Naat. The love for the Prophet was manifestly evident.
Sheikh Rabih Usman described the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) as a messiah
for mankind . “God created earth and heaven without Muhammed (peace
be upon him) but He knew for whom they were conceived,” he told the
audience.
Dr Meher Hathout told the gathering that our beloved Prophet (peace be upon
him) was sent to this earth for three reasons. To present the teachings of
the Holy Qur’an, a book of God whose vibrant language proves that it
couldn’t be written by any human being. Secondly, to demonstrate tolerance
in the face of great provocation and the messenger of God prove what is required
to be truly just. Thirdly, to provide a complete code of life affecting the
social system, law, education, and every aspect of life.
Dr. Ahmed Sakr was critical of those people who do not say peace be upon the
Prophet Muhammad when they refer to him. Such people don’t realize that
the whole universe came into existence because of Prophet Mohammed. He also
enlightened the audience on the admirable qualities of the of Prophet (peace
be upon him) and asked them to follow them in letter and spirit.
Dr. Hasan Uddin Hashmi offered salam and it turned out to be the most captivating
part of the evening’s proceedings.
