Known as Mawlid or Mild-un-Nabi, the birth anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him and his family) is celebrated in different parts of the world by reflecting on his rich and inspirational life. In 2023, the anniversary falls on September 26/27, equivalent to the 12th day of the Muslim month of Rabi Al-Awwal, in the Islamic year 1444 Hijri. The Islamic calendar is roughly 10 days shorter than the Gregorian Calendar every year.

The Aga Khan’s speech was made at a special Seerat Conference honouring the life of Prophet Muhammad. Attended by eminent Muslims and non-Muslims historians and scholars from around the world, the speech answers the question: What should Muslim Societies seek to be in the future?
