LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

We are in the season of Mawlid – the month in which Muslims around the world celebrate the birthday of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims celebrate our Prophet’s birthday by fasting, learning more about his character and life, and attending communal gatherings where songs and poetry are recited in his honor. For over 1400 years, Muslims have marked this time of year with special prayers, songs and foods. Today, Muslims have incorporated today’s social media culture into the Mawlid: my friend and fellow Patheos contributor, Rabia Chaudry, started the #WhyILoveHim hashtag on Twitter, which quickly went viral. Last year, I shared some of my favorite Muslim praise songs from around the world, and now I reprise that post with praise-songs specific to the Prophet PBUH.

Aminah was conscious of a light within her, and one day it shone forth from her so intensely that she could see the castles of Bostra in Syria. And she heard a voice say to her, “Though carriest in thy womb the lord of this people; and when he is born say: I place him beneath the protection of the One, from the evil of every envier;” then name him Muhammad [the one who is praised]. (Lings, p. 21)

And, finally, I will leave you with a demonstration of the ancient Turkish water marbling art of Ebru, where the rose signified the Beloved Prophet:

Ebru is a visual symphony: Colors and textures weave together into brand-new portraits–yet each one remains distinct. “It’s a striking example of the balance between interdependence and the freedom to express what makes us all unique.” The traditional art makes use of natural earth pigments for its vivid colors and for dispersing the paint in an oxgall substance. Ebru is one of the oldest Turkish paper arts, with roots in the 13th century. The preparation of materials and complexity of the symbolic designs make this an extremely difficult art to learn, requiring many years of study.

Ebru, is formed by carefully taking dye to draw patterns on water. Paper is gently placed on the surface to absorb the colors, and then lifted away, revealing designs brilliant and graceful. “We are using rose brunch which represents love and peace. All the dyes are from the ground, which represent humble and generosity. The Tulip represents Allah (God) and the rose represents our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him). ”
