The main purpose of education is to reach the desired state by exhibiting positive behaviors of the individual.. The main purpose of religious education is to show positive behaviors that provide happiness in this world and in the hereafter for a religious society. Therefore, every activity that contributes to the individual's becoming the desired state of the religious society in terms of social, psychological and behavior is considered important in terms of religious education. It is important to know whether the mawlid event applied in Islamic and eastern societies has positive contributions in this sense. Since this activity includes many common points in most of the Islamic world, a field study with similar practices leads to a largely common result.. The province of Van has been included in the field study because it has a sufficient number of samples in our region. In order to obtain healthy results, religious officials working in the Van region and the practitioners of the study were selected as field research samples. In this study, it is revealed whether the mawlid event contributes to the purpose of religious education or not, and if so, in which aspects. The relationship between mawlid and religious education and the evaluation of the mawlid tradition practiced in Van by the religious officials of Van in terms of religious education are mentioned.
