Musulmanii celebrează noaptea nașterii Profetului Muhammed – „Mevlid Kandili” / Gospodinele prepară și le oferă vecinilor și prietenilor „kandil simidi”, nişte covrigei crocanţi, presăraţi cu seminţe de susan

Muslims celebrate Mevlid Kandili on August 24, marking the birth of Prophet Mohammed. This event is one of the five holy nights in Islam, known as 'kandil'. The date varies annually due to the lunar calendar. Mevlid Kandili is observed on the 12th night of Rebiul Evvel, and it gained significance during the Ottoman Empire. The night is dedicated to prayers and reflection, with believers seeking forgiveness and guidance. Traditional foods like 'kandil simidi' are shared among friends and family during this time.
