Mawlid Praise Songs 2015

These early days of the new year also mark the season of Mawlid during which Muslims around the world celebrate the birthday of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims celebrate our Prophet’s birthday by fasting, learning more about his character and life, and often attending communal gatherings where songs and poetry are recited in his honor.

Every year, I compile a list of praise songs and share with my readers.  I try not to share the same poem twice (unless it’s a classic), so if your favorite is missing, see if I’ve linked it in 2013 or 2014. Then, add your favorites in the comments below!
