Moulood un-Nabi, is a celebration of the Prophet Muhammed’s birthday which takes place during the lunar month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. Muslims across the world celebrate the birth of their Prophet SAW in differently. Muhammad was born in Makkah, Saudi Arabia on the 12th day of the Islamic month in the year 571, Rabi-ul-Awwal. ‘Rampie sny’, a Malay and Afrikaans word is a tradition where women would gather at mosques and cut lemon and orange scented leaves, fold them into a paper or material and hand them to men on the night of Moulood celebrations. Smelling good is part of the practice of the Prophet Muhammad. Whilst cutting the leaves, women recite Arabic phrases which are made up of salutations on the Prophet and praising Allah (God). After the leaves are cut, it is placed in a basket where it undergoes the ‘oeker’, where it is prayed over in Arabic and the reciter asks for God’s blessings.
