The day began with a 31-gun salute in the federal capital and a 21-gun salute in all provincial capitals. The occasion is being observed as a public holiday today.
Special prayers were offered after the Fajr prayer for the unity of the Muslim Ummah and the progress and prosperity of the country.
A special Mehfil-e-Naat, organised by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, will be held at the Pakistan National Council of Arts in Islamabad tonight, featuring prominent Naat Khawans from across the country.
The main event of the day will be the International Seerat-un-Nabi Conference in the federal capital.
Milad processions are being taken out in cities across the country, where Ulema and Khateeb are highlighting various aspects of the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and urging people to follow his teachings and Sunnah.
Streets, roads, buildings, mosques and homes across the country have been decorated with green buntings, flags and colourful lights to mark the auspicious occasion.
