Bahrain’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa has declared Thursday, September 4, 2025, a public holiday to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). All ministries, government departments, and public institutions will remain closed on this day, as per an official circular issued by the royal court.
The holiday aligns with the 12th of Rabi’ al-Awwal 1447 AH in the Islamic calendar, based on moon sightings across Gulf nations. While most Gulf countries, including Bahrain, will observe the holiday on September 4, Oman and the Indian state of Kerala will mark it on September 5 due to regional lunar variations.
The announcement reflects Bahrain’s commitment to honoring Islamic traditions and providing citizens and residents an opportunity for spiritual reflection and celebration. Similar holidays have been declared in other Gulf states, encompassing both public and private sectors.
This unified observance underscores the cultural and religious significance of the occasion in the region. By designating a public holiday, Bahrain emphasizes the importance of preserving religious heritage while fostering national unity and communal harmony.
