What happens in a birth ceremony in Islam?

Answer 1

There is no specific birth ceremony in Islam. Customs vary from country to country. All Muslims who can afford it give a party to celebrate the birth of a child. In preparation for this, they slaughter a sheep (if possible) give some of the meat to the poor, and serve the remainder to their guests. During the aqiqa, guests celebrate the birth of a new community member, and a few (usually close relatives) may offer gifts to the child or its mother.

Answer 2

The birth ceromony for a muslim girl is the same as a boy. This "ceromony" is called an Aqeeqah (not really a ceromony). During the Aqeeqah the parents and everyone present are thanking ALLAH. Allah is the creator, sustainer, etc. During the Aqeeqah people also dine, praise Allah for allowing them to have a newborn. This is mandatory, if possible among every male and female muslim. People might even grow up to adult-hood and do their Aqeeqah then.....
