InsyaAllah, following Mawlanaق’s calendar, Rabi’ al-Awwal 1447H begins after Maghrib today, 23rd August 2025.

The most important day of the month is the 12th of Rabi’ al-Awwal, which falls on Wednesday, 3rd September 2025, after Maghrib.

It is the day Allah ﷻ gifted the world with the birth of His Most Beloved, the Mercy to all creation, our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

“Rabi’ al-Awwal – its very name is beautiful. It is the month of spring. Rabi’ means spring. 

Even if it comes 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. 

Everything is beautiful in it. And for the honor of the blessed face of the Prophet ﷺ, all kinds of goodness will come.”
