Happy Moulid El-Nabi 2022 from Egyptian Chronicles “As well as from Mickey and Mimi”

Happy Moulid El-Nabi from Egyptian Chronicles to all of you celebrating the blessed event around the globe.

Happy Moulid Nabi to all Muslims around the globe especially those in troubled areas as well as times and Allah knows they are so many.

Today marks the anniversary of Prophet Mohamed's “PBUH” birthday according to the Islamic Hijri lunar calendar.

Officially it is commemorated on the 12th Rabi' al-awwal for Muslim Sunnis while Muslim Shias celebrate it on the 17th Rabi’ al-awwal.

A fact I have not known before is that Muslims in West Africa also celebrate it on the 17th

Whether it is on the 12th or 17th, Happy Moulid and Peace upon Prophet Mohamed and his family as well as his companions.

On this occasion, here is an old Mickey Magazine cover featuring Mickey and Mimi aka Minnie as Egypt’s Moulid Sultan on Horse and Moulid Doll.

The cover as well inside illustrations I am sharing here were locally illustrated by Dar El-Hilal’s talented illustrators for Moulid El-Nabi’s special issue no.980 on 31 January 1980. Here is the issue for those interested.

That special issue included a special gift to its young readers, a “how-to-make-your own horses using crayons”.

Old generations including mine were lucky to have such magazines with those editors who made sure that we enjoyed Disney comics as we were taught more about our heritage.

Anyhow this is not the only celebration of Moulid El-Nabi on this blog because you have to wait for another special Kodak Agfa post.
