Israeli Occupation blocks worshippers from celebrating Prophet’s birthday

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) prevented worshippers from reaching the Ibrahimi Mosque on Sunday in the southern West Bank to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday, according to a Roya correspondent.

 The Prophet’s birthday, known as Mawlid al-Nabawi, is an annual celebration of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which falls on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal in the Islamic calendar.

This day is considered a significant religious occasion, where Muslims gather in mosques and homes to recite the Quran and chant hymns that recall the life and teachings of the Prophet.
