Egyptian Prophet's Birthday Celebrations Explained
The celebration of the Prophet's birthday in Egypt began during the Fatimid era, with organized festivities held in Fatimid Cairo. These celebrations focused on a grand procession in which the caliph, along with judges, scholars, and nobility, would march to al-Azhar Mosque to perform the sealing of the Qur'an and recite hymns. The procession would then return to the palace, and sweets would be distributed. These celebrations evolved during the Mamluk period to become large sultanate festivities that included banquets, distribution of sweets, equestrian displays, and presents. Some of these customs still persist today in Upper Egypt.
