Jordan Post releases Prophet’s Birthday commemorative postcard

Jordan Post announced on 23 August 2026 that it is releasing a commemorative postcard for the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Mohammad. The 2026 issue is priced at JD1.40 and becomes available on the morning of 24 August from the Stamp Department at Jordan Post’s headquarters in Muqabalain, Amman.

The postal company described the postcard as a tribute to the religious significance of the occasion and to the values of mercy and guidance associated with the Prophet’s message and the emergence of Islam. It also placed the release within Jordan Post’s continuing use of commemorative postal material to document important religious occasions.

The announcement identifies the item specifically as a commemorative postcard rather than an adhesive postage stamp. That distinction matters when cataloguing or collecting the release, because the stated JD1.40 value may represent the product’s selling price, postal value or a combination of the two; the short notice does not clarify how the card is intended to be used in the mail. It likewise gives no dimensions, designer, printer, printing method, quantity or product code.

For collectors of Jordan, Islamic themes and religious commemorations, the card provides a dated contemporary item tied to a recurring observance. Its release through the Stamp Department also establishes an official point of sale and helps separate the issue from privately produced greeting cards or souvenirs that may use similar imagery. Examples genuinely used through the post could later add postal-history context beyond an unused card.

Initial sales are scheduled at Jordan Post headquarters in Muqabalain, beside the Jordan Radio and Television Corporation building. The announcement does not say whether the card will be distributed to other post offices, sold online, accompanied by a special cancellation or remain available after the first day. Those details remain unconfirmed.
