🌹Welcoming Rabi’ al-Awwal🌹
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Rabi’ al-Awwal is the third month of the Islamic Hijri calendar, a month filled with beauty, blessings, and joy for the hearts of believers.
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbaniق said,
“Rabi’ al-Awwal – its very name is beautiful. It is the month of spring. Rabi means spring. Even if it is in the middle of winter or autumn, Rabi’ al-Awwal is the sign of beauty, the sign of purity; it is the beginning of everything.”
The most significant day this month is the 12th of Rabi’ al-Awwal, which falls on Monday, 24th August 2026, after Maghrib.
It is the day Allah gifted the world with the birth of His Most Beloved, the Mercy to all creation, our Holy Prophet ﷺ.
⚠️ Dates may vary from country to country depending on local moon sightings. Kindly follow your local authority where applicable.
For simplicity and consistency, the dates mentioned follow Mawlanaق’s calendar.
