This day is widely celebrated by Muslims across the world.
Initially, it was commemorated in Egypt before being celebrated across the world.

It literally means “The Birth of the Prophet”.
It is thus a commemoration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).
Consequently, it also marks the death of the Prophet.

It is observed in the month Rabi-ul-Awwal in the Islamic lunar calendar.
Specifically, it is on the 12th day of this month.
This year, it is expected to be celebrated between the 27th and 28th of September, 2023.

Muslims all over the world celebrate by decorating Mosques and giving away charity.
