The story behind Prophet's Birthday
Mawlid an-Nabi marks the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, traditionally around the year 570 in Mecca. Most Sunni Muslims observe it on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal, the third month of the Islamic calendar, while many Shia Muslims mark the 17th.
Celebrations include recitations of poetry in praise of the Prophet, sermons on his life, processions, lit-up mosques and shared meals. Not every Muslim community celebrates it, and some consider it a later addition to the faith. It is a public holiday in about 40 countries in our data, from Morocco to Indonesia. Because it follows the moon, the date shown is an estimate.
