This article is completely wrong. Mild in Persian means "Birth" and therefore its only common for the birth of Islam Prophet Mohammed.

The article is not wrong at all. Milad does in Persian mean "birth" and came to mean celebration of Muhammad. However, from this, in the subcontinent, Milad just means any religious ceremony, held for various reasons, from the opening of a business or moving into a new home. This is explained in the article.

This Iranian given name is not related to the Arabic word "Milad" (meaning "birth"). Alefbe (talk) 23:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wahhabi Links[edit]

Wahhabies are tireless in their Jihad to say that anything not belonging to their sect is not Islam. So I have given up removing their propoganda links but have kept them seperate to show that they are not the mainstream view but that of a minority sect.

Origin[edit]

The origin of the word Milad is Aramaic.

This reference does not state it's origin. Volume 3,^[1] however, makes mention of it but the reference states that it was originally Arabic and that the Aramaic word 'Moalada' itself comes from the archaic Arabic word. Therefore it is originally Arabic, not Aramaic. Meeladi (talk) 06:17, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
