Article summary: 

The people of Luxor celebrate the mūlid of al-'ārif Billāh Sīdī Abū al-Hajjāj al-Luqsurī, the founder of the hajjājī sūfī method. The rituals are taken from ancient Egypt. However, Abū al-Fadl Badrān, a scholar of the sūfī tradition, denies the existence of a similarity between the rituals of the mūlid and the pharaonic rituals of the procession of Amon that is carved on the Karnak Temple.
