Prophet Muhammad's Birthday In Brunei On Wednesday

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei will observe Maulidur Rasul, the Birthday Anniversary of prophet Muhammad the last messenger, on Wednesday.

The celebration will be held simultaneously in the four districts with mass gathering and procession.

The focal point of the national Maulidur Rasul celebration is the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddin in the capital.

The gathering and procession involves ministries, government departments, uniformed and youth associations, institutions from the private sector, schools, the Mukim and Kampung Consultation Councils.

The final rehearsal was held this morning, which included the Dikir Marhaban by representatives from the prime minister's office.

It was conducted in the presence of the minister of religious affairs, Yang Berhormat Pehin Jawatan Luar Pekerma Raja Dato Seri Utama Dr Ustaz Haji Awang Mohd Zain, the executive chairman of the organising committee.

If it rains heavily on the actual day for two hours, the committee said the program would have to be changed.

The procession in Bandar Seri Begawan will be cancelled but other pre-arranged programs will be carried out as scheduled.

Meanwhile a gathering of the women council marking Maulidur Rasul is to be held on May 22 at the International Convention Centre. Similarly, the gathering will take place at the municipal hall in Kuala Belait, the civic centre in Tutong and the civic centre in Pekan Bangar Temburong.
