It should be 19th March, so likely that Thursday 20th will be a holiday.

It is the 20th March. This isn;t one of those holidays where some old bloke has to look for the moon. Birthdays are fixed things.

I think some people get a bit confused as it is a birthday from the Islamic calendar, so the date changes in the Gregorian calendar every year.

Err, but would not the birthday of the Prophet (SWT) be set by the Islamic calender, not the Roman, in which case it is dependant upon the Mullahs and the Moon?
