Hyderabad has begun preparations for Milad-un-Nabi, with religious gatherings, welfare activities and a major procession planned across the city.
The celebrations mark the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, with programmes being organised at mosques, auditoriums and community spaces in the days leading up to the occasion.
Welfare Activities Begin
As part of the preparations, a blood donation drive was held in Vijayanagar Colony on August 16.
More community welfare programmes are planned in the coming days, including an event at Asafia Library in Afzalgunj.
Main Procession On August 26
The Markazi Milad Juloos Committee is making arrangements for the main Milad-un-Nabi procession, which is scheduled to take place on August 26.
Organisers said there will be no change in the procession route compared with last year.
What Is The Procession Route?
The procession is expected to begin after Zohar prayers from the historic Makkah Masjid.
From there, it will pass through Gulzar Houz, Madina Building, Salar Jung Museum, Darul Shifa, Purani Haveli, Kotla Alijah and Bibi Bazaar before concluding near Volta Hotel.
Religious Gatherings Across The City
Mosques and auditoriums across Hyderabad are also expected to host religious gatherings ahead of Milad-un-Nabi.
These programmes will focus on prayers, sermons and discussions connected with the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
Jalsa Rahmatulil Alameen Planned
Preparations are also underway for the annual Jalsa Rahmatulil Alameen organised by AIMIM on the eve of Milad-un-Nabi.
Islamic scholars representing different sects and schools of thought are expected to speak about the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad during the gathering.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Milad-un-Nabi is a major religious occasion for many Muslims in Hyderabad, particularly in the Old City where large gatherings and processions traditionally take place.
This year’s preparations combine religious observances with community welfare initiatives such as blood donation, highlighting both the spiritual and social aspects of the occasion.
With the main procession scheduled for August 26, residents and commuters in the Old City may also want to watch for traffic and security advisories closer to the event.
