Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi (15-16 September) is an Islamic event that commemorates the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Muhammad.
Prophet Muhammad’s birthday is commemorated by Muslims during the month of Rabi’ al-awwal, the third month of the Muslim calendar. Also called Maulud Nabi in Malaysia, the day is commonly marked by religious lectures and readings of the Quran.
Muhammad’s birth was approximately in the year 570 (in the Gregorian Calendar). His uncle raised him after both the boy’s parents died while he was very young. Prophet Muhammad learned the trades of the merchant and of shepherding.
He began to preach around the age of 40. Eventually, he and his followers, numbering around ten thousand, took control of Mecca. Muhammad died from an illness in 632 after uniting Arabia into a single Muslim entity.
