EID MILAD-UN-NABI CELEBRATIONS IN MY CITY

In my city tonight, I observed how people celebrated the birthday of Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Citizens spent their day in Jalsa ( religious rallies), in Mosques and on roads chilling and relaxing. Sorry to use the words chilling & relaxing as I have witnessed it tonight. 

People throwing money and food packets on the visitors for the sake of Allah's & Prophet PBUH blessings.I don't think so whether Prophet SAW or Allah Almighty ever said that. Distributing money or food packets is good but if it is done in an ethical or decent way. 

Then I saw people dancing on different Qawali's & Naat's. They were happy or emotional I don't know? But they were shouting as they were in some concert ......... but why? Don't know the answer....

I saw women, children & men on streets and roads laughing and enjoying rather spending their time  in remembering Allah & sending Durood on Holy Prophet SAW. 

There were families, young people, kids and elders everybody was there with a smile on their faces which was a good sign but that smile was for Prophet SAW birth or the events they were enjoying??
