Which of the following festivals is celebrated on Prophet Mohammed birthday?
A. Id-Ul-Zuha B. Id-e-Milad
C. Id-Ul-Fitr D. Muharram
Answer and Explanation
Answer:B
Explanation: The festival is called in Arabic 'Eid milad-un-Nabi'.

It is considered as good occasion to remind Muslims with the prophet Muhammad teachings and morals and to renew the intention of following and adopting prophet Muhammad guides.
