On the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (SAW). Muslim Committee of Amroha organizes "
Jaloos", a procession. Thousands of Amrohvis participate in
Jaloos after
Zuhar Namaz(Noon Prayer). It begins from Jama Masjid, Amroha. The procession moves along
Bazar Naubat Khana ,
Tehseel,
Bada Bazar,
Guzri,
Bazar Shafat Pota,
Chahgauri,
Maja Pota and
Chilla to finally reach
Chauraha Kot. People carry green decorated flags embroidered with the name "Muhammad" and "Allah".

Jaloos Eid Miladun Nabi, Amroha |
Many cars fitted with speakers are also part of this procession. They all collectively make such a noise that its really hard to recognize what people are speaking. Everybody is simply shouting slogans and singing in praise of Prophet Mohammad(SAW). It seems whole city is out on streets.

Children Participating in Jaloos Eid Miladun Nabi, Amroha |
Children play a big role in this procession. They are the ones who carry the flags and posters. Children have their share of fun. Many people distribute sweets, sherbat and coffee when the Jaloos reaches their locality. Its a way of welcoming the procession. Women in black
Burqa can be seen on all roof tops as the procession passes streets of Amroha.

Eid Miladun Nabi, Amroha |
One of the popular slogan shouted in
Jaloos is:
"Islam ki taleem sab insan". "Bhai-Bhai".
I wonder if people really understand this. Or we simply shout it and forget it as soon as the festivity is over.
"Islam ki taleem sab insan". "Bhai-Bhai". What did this mean foryou--when you were young? Nice blog--please keep it up
ReplyDelete"Islam ki taleem sab insan". "Bhai-Bhai".. is the slogan of brotherhood. Since childhood I am hearing it and shouting it like every other child. But as we grow up we forget its meaning.
DeleteBy the way, thanks.
