Significance of Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday

The birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also known as Mawlid Al Nabi, is
celebrated worldwide by Muslims as a day of joy, remembrance, and spiritual reflection. It
commemorates the life of the Prophet, his teachings, and his contributions to humanity.
Across the UAE, the day is marked with religious programs, prayers, lectures, and

educational activities that highlight the importance of ethical values, social responsibility,
and moral guidance.

For government employees, this holiday provides an opportunity to reflect on the values of

the Prophet while enjoying time with family and friends. Many institutions organize
special gatherings, community programs, and cultural activities that align with the spirit of
this sacred day.

Observance Across Dubai

The Dubai Government emphasizes the importance of observing religious holidays with
respect and understanding. By following the circular issued by DGHR, all government
departments and entities ensure that the observance is in harmony with Dubai’s broader

vision of promoting cultural awareness, tolerance, and community engagement.
