There was a huge celebration in my city- with prominent guest speakers arriving from Pakistan.Of course, it was a Pakistani event hence was held in Urdu/Hindi.(the locals have their own celebratin toobut its WAAAAY less lively compared to the South asian celebrations- what can I say, we're born to celebrate!)
Well... much unfortunately...as my friend, who was suppose to come with me to the ceremony, suddenly have some work at the last minute, I missed the event.
My mom's friend who went there said the event was a smash!!!The talks were interesting...and it was very lively with Hamds and Naats.
For you guys that doesn't know what they are....Hamd is recitations of Ghazal (poems) of praises to ALlah. Whereas Naat is the Praises to Rasulullah(s.a.w.).
Here's some example....
in Urdu -ALLAH HA ALLAH
ALLAH ALLAH ALLAH HU

in English -Al-Mua'lim
Allahu Allahu Allahu


    In Lahore (Pakistan) , where there was a grand celebration, a very peculiar incident took place. As the Aleem was giving the speech...a cloud formed near the moon...resembling the word Muhammad (محمد) in Arabics.
    Luckily,by Allah's grace, the event was filmed..and have been made possible for us to witness.
