Prophet’s Birthday
The Prophet's Birthday is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed. Sunni Muslims observe the Prophet Muhammed's (also known as Mohammed or Muhammad) birthday on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi' al-awwal, while Shi'a Muslims mark it on the 17th of this month. Muhammed is believed to be the last prophet.
