Birth of the Prophet

Best wishes on this day the 15th February, to all those who profess the Muslim faith, it being Mawlid or mawlidu n-nabiyyi, or the day of the “Birth of the Prophet”. Here in Indonesia - where it is referred to in the national language as 'Maulid Nabi' or 'Mulud ' by the local Javanese people - we have a national holiday although the realities of modern life mean that many, many people do not get to have a national holiday at all as they are busy providing national holiday type goods and services to those who are having their national holiday.

No 'best wishes' to those who profess the Muslim faith on this their special day, then?

i doubt the Prophet himself would have approved, indeed, he may have constituted it an act of idolatry.

It would be interesting to see how Muhammed (or Jesus for that matter) would interpret the religions that are built around their lives today.

No.

Some people send each other somewhat elaborate text messages expressing their sense of celebration. That's about it.

There's no go-to Merry Christmas-esque epithet.
