Muslims have more than 50 festivals every year. Every Friday is muslims Festival. People with less spiritual knowledge and weak understanding of Islam has only 2 festivals. For the people who love prophet, all days of year are festival, every day is Milad-e-Nabi.

Firstly, Muslims do not celebrate a number of festivals all round the year. Islam is the only religion with the least festivals, that is, only two. Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Zuha. Muharram is not a festival, but the name of the first month of the hijri{Lunar} calender. The other 8 listed here, are not festivals, but events created by people after the death of the Prophet Muhammad[s.a.w.]. According to the Quran and Sharia'a, Muslims celebrate only 2 festivals. As for the celebration, on the peopl's death and birthdays is strictly forbidden. Therefore, I request you to please remove the other events from the list.
