There is an elaborate naming ceremony. A little bit of the baby's hair is cut which symbolises the shaving of the baby's hair in earlier time. Prayers and blessings are said by family and guests. It is customary to pass sugar and dates around after prayers are said. This is to ensure a sweet future for the child.

After the ceremony, there is a feast. Proper etiquette says that Muslims should bring food to any celebration, even if they are not specifically asked to. This rule does not usually extend to non-Muslim people who attend.

Muslims do not celebrate Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) birthday because there is no evidence stated in the Quran or Hadith that we should celebrate. This applies as well to other people's birthdays.

Strictly speaking, the celebration of birthdays is not really encouraged in Islam. Not sure why, but as it is not encouraged in the religion itself, there is no way Muslims ("islam people" lol) celebrate it specifically, other than the way any other average family would.

yes, with keeping the teachings of Islam in mind when celebrating the birthday. For example not drinking alcohols and not to practice any kind of oral sex between any two licitly unmarried couples

Islam teaches the celebration of only two feasts: Eid al-Fitr, at the end of Ramadan, and Eid-al-Adha, during the Hajj. Celebrating other holidays, such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc., is not part of Islamic practice.
