Hello Bangladesh steem friends. So glad I can share my post again.
Last week, on October 19, Muslims commemorate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, which falls every 12 Rabi Ul Awal.
Maulid month is commemorated for 4 months, because some scholars have different opinions. So a decision was taken that the month of Maulid is commemorated for 4 months in rotation in each region, city and country that celebrates it.
Last week I celebrated at my in-laws' house. I went there the day before the 19th. Because we had to cook various dishes. And today it was my mother's turn. I live close to my mother. But this time we are not celebrating in a big way. As we know that the Prophet's Birthday is celebrated differently according to place of residence, customs and culture. In my own place, we celebrate it by cooking various dishes which will later be brought to advise to be distributed to the people present, especially to special invited guests.
Let alone that there must be pulut. Pulut is glutinous rice that is steamed, then given coconut milk and steamed again. Once cooked and cool, then wrapped in banana leaves that have previously been withered so that the smell is fragrant.
Food and pulut will be brought to menasah. And everyone can come to enjoy the food that has been provided. The event started by reading shalawat and greetings to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. After the event is over, the organizing committee will distribute packages containing the food that was brought earlier and pulut to the invited guests and also those present.
Today, my mother and family celebrate Maulid Nabi in our village. We celebrate it in a small way. All my sisters and my nieces and nephews came to my mother's house to help cook. Some of my nephews couldn't attend because they were out of town, including my brother who was in Malaysia.
We have cooked some dishes and have arranged them on plates, and put them on a tray to serve to the ustadz who we invited home to pray for the souls of our family. After the ustadz read the prayer and enjoyed the food, we immediately distributed the leftovers to our respective family members, and gave some to relatives who did not celebrate it.
That's my post at this time.
More or less if there is a wrong word please forgive.
