About Mawlid

Celebrates the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad.

The date for 2028 is only listed once it’s announced, because it depends on the moon being seen. Also in August 2027: Independence Day (Pakistan) (14 Aug), National Creamsicle Day (14 Aug) and World Lizard Day (14 Aug). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date

It’s the 12th of Rabi al-Awwal in the Islamic calendar.
