AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement organized a celebration in a Beirut suburb on the occasion of the Holy Prophet’s birth anniversary and the Islamic Unity Week.
A large number of people attended the ceremony on Friday night, Al-Ahed News reported.
It began with recitation of verses from the Holy Quran and included religious songs and a speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
In his address, Nasrallah congratulated all Muslims on the auspicious occasion, and said that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) managed to establish eternal peace using Islamic teachings.
He added that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) saved a community from ignorance and
The 17th day of Rabi al-Awwal, which falls on October 24 this year, is believed by Shia Muslims to mark the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), while Sunni Muslims regard the 12th day of the month (October 19 this year) as the birthday of the last prophet.
The interval between the two dates is celebrated every year as the Islamic Unity Week.
Late Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini (RA) declared the occasion as the Islamic Unity Week back in the 1980s.
