About Rabi' Al-Awwal
Significance & Historical Context
Rabi' Al-Awwal is not just about the birth (Mawlid); it is also the month of the Hijrah (migration) to Medina and the month in which the Prophet (PBUH) passed away. It is a month that encapsulates the entire life-cycle of the Final Revelation.
The theme of this month is 'Mahabbah' (Love). Scholars state that love for the Messenger is a requirement of faith. True love is manifested through 'Ittiba'—emulating the Prophet’s character (Akhlaq) and following his guidance.
Recommended Acts
- Fasting on Mondays, as the Prophet did (saying, 'That is the day on which I was born').
- Studying the 'Shama'il'—the physical and character descriptions of the Prophet (PBUH).
- Increasing the recitation of 'Durood' (Salawat) throughout the day and night.
