Mawlid (English spelling)
The Islamic celebration of the birthday of a prophet or saint. Mawlids are not based on the Quran or hadith, but there are three types: (1) the Mawlid of the Prophet Muhammad, (2) the Shiite Mawlid, and (3) the Mawlid of a Sunni mystical saint. Wahhabism despises or outlaws these Mawlids as promoting human deification, but they are celebrated with great fervor in other parts of the Islamic world. In Egypt, it is traditional to make sugar cakes in the shape of brides, camels, horses, and other animals on the occasion of (1), and eat them after the festival.

イスラムにおける預言者や聖者の生誕祭。マウリドはコーランにもハディースにも準拠していないが,(1)預言者ムハンマドのマウリド,(2)シーア派のマウリド,(3)スンナ派神秘主義聖者のマウリド,の三つのタイプがある。ワッハーブ派は,これらのマウリドが人間の神格化を促すものとして軽視ないしは違法としているが,他のイスラム世界では盛大に祝われている。エジプトでは(1)の際に花嫁やラクダ,馬などの動物をかたどった砂糖菓子がつくられ,祭りが終わるとそれらを食べるという伝統的な風習がある。
