Islam Times - Tunisians celebrate birth of Prophet Muhammad PBUH

Islam Times - Every year, Tunisians celebrate the Birth of Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him at the Shrine of Muslim Saint Sidi BouSaid El Béji in the North of the capital city Tunis. People from all walks of life attend the event to pray and sing religious songs and Poems.

In their spiritual chants, the country's leading Imams remind their local and foreign guests that Islam is the religion of peace.

Observers argue that unity in the Islamic world is essential to face the growing Takfiri threat and ideology.

Last year, Takfiri Militants set fire to the sacred shrine to terrorize worshippers. However, Sidi Bou Said bas been rebuilt and more people are coming to pray and learn from Sufi Scholars.

The anniversary of the Birth of Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him is the first Muslim celebration event of the new year that people hope will be full of love and compassion between Muslims around the globe.
