Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, September 5, 2025, extended his warm greetings to the nation on the auspicious occasion of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, which commemorates the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, and on Teachers’ Day, celebrated annually in India to honour educators and the legacy of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.

PM Modi’s message on Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi

In a heartfelt message shared on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi said:
“May this sacred day bring with it peace and well-being in our society. May the values of compassion, service and justice always guide us. Eid Mubarak!”

Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, also known as Mawlid al-Nabi, is observed by Muslims worldwide with prayers, sermons, and community gatherings that celebrate the Prophet’s life and teachings. His message of compassion, service to humanity, and justice continues to inspire generations.

In India, the day is marked by processions, mosque gatherings, and acts of charity, reflecting the spirit of unity and harmony. PM Modi’s greetings underlined the importance of embracing these values to strengthen the social fabric of the country.

Teachers’ Day greetings and tribute to Dr Radhakrishnan

Alongside his Eid greetings, PM Modi also extended warm wishes to all educators on the occasion of Teachers’ Day. This day, celebrated every year on September 5, marks the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan — India’s second President, first Vice President, a distinguished philosopher, and a revered teacher.

PM Modi highlighted that teachers play an irreplaceable role in shaping young minds, laying the foundation for a brighter future. He praised their dedication, compassion, and tireless efforts, noting that their contribution goes beyond academics, as they build character, inspire creativity, and nurture responsible citizens.

He said that the commitment of teachers is invaluable in shaping individuals and society at large, making them the guiding lights of the nation’s progress.

Remembering Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Teachers’ Day is also an occasion to celebrate the life and philosophy of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, born on September 5, 1888. A Bharat Ratna awardee, he served as India’s first Vice President (1952–1962) and second President (1962–1967).

When his students once requested to celebrate his birthday, Dr Radhakrishnan modestly suggested that the day should instead be observed as Teachers’ Day, honouring educators across the country. Since then, September 5 has been celebrated nationwide to acknowledge the immense role of teachers in nation-building.

A day of dual reflections – Faith and Education

The convergence of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi and Teachers’ Day in 2025 made September 5 a day of dual significance. On one hand, it marked the Prophet Muhammad’s message of faith, compassion, and brotherhood, and on the other, it celebrated the values of education, knowledge, and guidance through Teachers’ Day.

PM Modi’s greetings on both occasions highlighted the universal ideals of peace and wisdom, reminding citizens of the importance of balancing spiritual values with educational progress. His message brought together the essence of unity in diversity, which defines India’s cultural fabric.

Nationwide celebrations

Across the country, the day was observed with community gatherings, prayers, felicitation events, and cultural programs. Schools paid tribute to teachers with ceremonies, cultural performances, and awards, while mosques and community centres hosted special Milad-un-Nabi prayers and charitable drives.

The combined celebrations of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi and Teachers’ Day created an atmosphere of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness, resonating with the themes of compassion and knowledge.

Conclusion

September 5, 2025, stood out as a unique day of observance for India, blending the spiritual values of Prophet Muhammad with the educational legacy of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. PM Modi’s dual greetings reminded citizens of the enduring relevance of peace, justice, compassion, and education in shaping a stronger, more harmonious society.
