Delay of Prophet's Birthday Celebrations During Fatimid Era
The tradition of celebrating the Prophet's birthday dates back to the era of the Fatimid Caliphate over a thousand years ago. It began with their reign, during which official customs for the celebration were established. These included luxurious palace gatherings, sermons, and the giving of clothing and gifts to attendees. In contrast, during the era of the Rashidun Caliphate and the periods before it, there was no tradition of celebrating the birthday, as the focus was on consolidating religious foundations, jihad, and expanding Islam. The official customs started with the Fatimids, who set specific rules for the celebration that lasted 13 days. These festivities included events such as gatherings of rulers, recitations of the Prophet's story, and the giving of gifts, transforming the occasion into a widespread official and popular celebration.
