Prophet Muhammad's birthday

Prophet Muhammad's birthday, known as Mawlid al-Nabi, is celebrated by millions of Muslims around the world. It marks the birth of Muhammad in 570 CE in Mecca, present-day Saudi Arabia. Muslims regard him as the last prophet in Islam, conveying God's final revelation, the Quran. Celebrations typically involve prayers, recitations of the Quran, and community gatherings. While some Muslims honor this day with festivities, others do not consider it an Islamic practice. The date varies among cultures, but it is generally observed on the 12th day of Rabi' al-Awwal, the third month in the Islamic lunar calendar.
