, Birth of The ProphetMuslims, Islamic Prophet Muhammad, Mawlid EL Nabwi, feast in Egypt

Mawlid EL Nabwi ( Birth of The Prophet)
Mawlid is known as mawlid an-nabī (مولد النبي) it is an Islamic Feast to commemorate the birthday of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.  All Muslims  Mawlid on the month of Rabi’ al-awwal based on Islamic calendar.

And Muslims in different countries recognize Mawlid in different terms,Although  Al Mawlid al-Nabi is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Mawlid al-Nabi moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year.


Al Mawlid as a feast in Egypt , it is associated with food. In Egypt the Muslimes buy the famous set of Mawlid candies and sweets that include sugar coated bars of nuts , Hums , pistachio , sesame and almond as well the famous Turkish delights. This set of sweets and candies are known in Egypt as (Halwat El Mawlid)
The Mawlid bride and Horse are much older in the Egyptian candies,
Historical the Mawlid bride and Mawlid Horsestarted in  Egypt with the Fatimids. Some  say that the Mawlid bride originated from the Fatima doll the Shiite Fatimids because they love to Lady Fatima , the daughter of Prophet Mohamed .

Some folklorists say  the bride of AL mawled , Fatima lady figure was soon mixed with the figure of Virgin Mary .In the Egyptian folkloric and historians say that the form of the bride or the horse  go back to the famous legend of Isis and Horus.

 Amazingly the shape of the Mawlid Horse or knight looks so similar to an ancient Egyptian sculpture Horus over a horse killing Set as a crocodile.
