People are eagerly waiting for Rabiul Awwal as the month holds significant religious and cultural importance in the country due to its association with the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The celebrations during Rabiul Awwal in Pakistan can vary in terms of scale and style, and they may differ among different regions and communities within the country.
The Islamic month is marked by nationwide processions that feature large gatherings of believers, with participants carrying banners, posters, and flags adorned with Islamic calligraphy while speeches and recitations of naats are other main features of these events.
The event holds special significance for Muslims because it is the month in which Islam’s Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is believed to have been born. His birth date is commonly celebrated on the 12th day of Rabiul Awwal, although the exact date may vary depending on different Islamic traditions and sects.
Eid Milad un Nabib is a matter of cultural and religious practice and is not universally observed by all Muslims.
