- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rabi' al-awwal ( لوألا عيبر ) is the third month in the Islamic calendar. During this month, Muslims around the world celebrate Mawlid - the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Sunni Muslims (except a minority Muslims belonging to Deobandi/Wahabi faiths) believe the exact date of birth of Muhammad to have been on the twelfth of this month, whereas Shi'a Muslims believe him to have been born on the dawn of the seventeenth day. The name Rabī‘ al-awwal means the first [month]/beginning of spring, referring to its position in the pre-Islamic Arabian calendar before the practice of intercalation was abolished. The celebration of the Mawlid is done differently depending on the country. In some areas celebrations begin as early as the first of the month and can continue till the end of the month. Muslims generally put coloured lights on roads streets and their homes and put green flags as well to celebrate. In many countries a procession is also conducted on 12th or 17th of Rabiul Awal night and day. On these occasions sweets and drinks are also distributed widely from home to home, and to the general public as well.
