Summary/Abstract: Apart from the mawlids written in Arabic, there are also mawlids written in Persian, Albanian, Kurdish, Javanese, Bosnian, Greek, Circassian, Urdu, Sevahili and Tatar. In Iranian literature, perhaps due to the influence of Shi'ism, the type of mawlid was not respected much. Hz. The first of the ceremonies held on the occasion of the birth of the Prophet, X.-XI. It was built during the Fatimids (910-1171) centuries. Only the ruler and courtiers attended this ceremony, not the public. It is seen that the mawlid ceremony, in which everyone attended jointly, first took place in Erbil in 1207, during the time of Seljuk Atabek Abu Sa'id Muzafferüddin Gökbörü (d. 1233). This mawlid ceremony is accepted as the beginning of the mawlid ceremonies held later.
