Eid-e-Milad, also known as Mawlid al-Nabi, is observed by many Muslims around the world to commemorate the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In 2025, this sacred occasion will be marked with devotion, community prayers, and remembrance of the Prophet’s teachings. However, beyond traditional practices, spiritual leaders like Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji provide a unique perspective on how to understand such days of remembrance in the light of true devotion towards the Supreme God.
This article explores the date of Eid-e-Milad 2025, its history, significance, global celebrations, and how Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji’s teachings offer deeper spiritual wisdom for seekers of truth.
Eid-e-Milad 2025 Date
According to the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid-e-Milad is observed on the 12th day of Rabi-ul-Awwal. In the year 2025, Eid-e-Milad will begin in the evening of Sunday, September 14, and end in the evening of Monday, September 15 (dates may vary depending on moon sighting in different countries).
Muslim communities across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Western nations will mark this day with prayers, gatherings, and teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
Historical Background of Eid-e-Milad
The history of Eid-e-Milad dates back centuries. The day is associated with the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Mecca in 570 CE (the Year of the Elephant). Islamic historians note that his birth brought spiritual light to Arabia, which was engulfed in ignorance, idol worship, and tribal conflicts.
The celebration of Milad began much later, during the Fatimid dynasty in Egypt around the 11th century, where religious scholars recited poetry and remembered the life of the Prophet. Gradually, the observance spread to other Islamic regions, including Turkey, Syria, South Asia, and North Africa.
Today, while some Muslim sects (like Sufi and Barelvi traditions) celebrate it with devotion, others (like Salafi and Wahhabi groups) consider it an innovation not prescribed in early Islam. Despite differences, the day is seen by millions as an occasion to strengthen faith.
The Significance of Eid-e-Milad
The primary purpose of Eid-e-Milad is to:
-
Remember the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad – his simplicity, compassion, honesty, and dedication to Allah.
-
Encourage unity among believers – as the Prophet emphasized brotherhood and justice.
-
Promote charity and service to humanity – following his example of helping the poor and oppressed.
-
Strengthen devotion towards God – as the Prophet consistently directed people towards worship of the One Almighty.
However, many spiritual leaders emphasize that true significance lies not merely in celebration, but in following authentic worship as prescribed by God in holy scriptures.
Eid-e-Milad Celebrations Around the World
Eid-e-Milad is celebrated differently in various parts of the world:
-
India & Pakistan – Mosques and streets are decorated with lights and green flags. Processions are held, and naats (devotional songs) are recited in praise of the Prophet.
-
Middle East – Special sermons are delivered in mosques, highlighting the life of the Prophet. Charity programs are organized for the poor.
-
Turkey & Africa – Communities hold cultural gatherings, Qur’an recitations, and religious lectures.
-
Western Nations – Muslim communities organize conferences, interfaith dialogues, and social services to spread the message of peace.
Despite cultural differences, the essence remains: remembering Prophet Muhammad’s life and his devotion to Allah.
A Spiritual Insight by Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji
While Eid-e-Milad is celebrated with great fervor, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji provides seekers with a broader spiritual understanding. According to His teachings:
1. Birthdays of Prophets Are Not the Path of Salvation
Saint Rampal Ji explains that merely celebrating the birth anniversaries of great souls does not lead to liberation. The real purpose is to follow the true method of worship (Sat-Bhakti) that was revealed by Supreme God through those prophets and saints.
2. Prophet Muhammad’s Message Was of One Almighty
Prophet Muhammad always emphasized that there is only one God (Allah Ta’ala) who is beyond birth and death. Similarly, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj reveals through holy scriptures that the Supreme God is Kabir Saheb (Allah Kabir), who created the universe and who alone can grant salvation.
3. True Worship Is Beyond Rituals
Saint Rampal Ji points out that most religions have drifted into rituals, festivals, and traditions that were not originally commanded by God. Celebrations like Eid-e-Milad are good for social unity, but salvation requires Naam Diksha (initiation) from a True Guru who gives evidence-based worship.
4. Scriptural Evidence for Supreme God
Saint Rampal Ji provides proofs from:
-
Qur’an Sharif (Surah Furqan 25:52-59) – It states that Allah Kabir created the heavens and the earth in six days and is seated on His throne.
-
Bible (Isaiah 45:12, Job 36:5) – Mentions the Creator as compassionate and eternal.
-
Vedas & Gita – Speak about the Supreme God separate from Kaal (Satan) and other deities.
This proves that the Supreme God is not for one religion but for all humanity.
5. Path of True Devotion Today
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj gives the Satnam and Saarnaam mantras received from Supreme God Kabir Himself. These mantras are the key to liberation, freeing the soul from the cycle of birth and death.
Therefore, on occasions like Eid-e-Milad, instead of limiting devotion to outward celebrations, seekers are encouraged to adopt the true way of worship as per holy scriptures.
Lessons for Humanity from Eid-e-Milad
Through the life of Prophet Muhammad and the wisdom of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, we can draw the following lessons:
-
Oneness of God – There is only one Supreme Power who is beyond form and creation.
-
Equality of Humanity – No caste, race, or gender discrimination exists in God’s kingdom.
-
Service to Others – Helping the poor and spreading peace is the essence of all religions.
-
Need for True Guru – Liberation is possible only by following the guidance of an enlightened Saint.
Why Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj’s Teachings Are Relevant in 2025
In the modern world filled with conflicts, divisions, and blind rituals, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj’s teachings help clarify the difference between temporary festivals and eternal salvation.
-
He does not oppose remembering prophets but emphasizes the core purpose of their coming – to guide souls towards the Supreme God.
-
He shows with evidence that Kabir Saheb is the Supreme God mentioned in all scriptures, including the Qur’an.
-
He offers a universal spiritual path beyond religious boundaries, making His guidance relevant for Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and all seekers.
Conclusion
Eid-e-Milad 2025 will be observed on September 14–15 with prayers, gatherings, and remembrance of Prophet Muhammad’s noble life. While millions will celebrate through rituals and charity, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji reminds humanity that the true way to honor prophets is to follow the worship of Supreme God Kabir as revealed in scriptures.
Prophet Muhammad’s message of one God, compassion, and justice continues to inspire. Yet, only by taking Naam Diksha from the Complete Saint (Satguru) can souls achieve the ultimate goal of human life – salvation and eternal peace.
Thus, Eid-e-Milad should not just be a festival of lights and songs, but an opportunity to walk the path of true devotion, as explained by Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji.
