This evening, the 24th of August, 2025 corresponds to the 01 of Rabi Al Awwal. The day of the 24th of August, 2025 corresponded with the 30th of Safar. On the evening of the 23rd of August, 2025, the Hilal was not sighted anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. On this night, we went out to search for the Hilal, however, due to clouds and the hilal’s closeness to the sun, we did not witness its appearance. Nevertheless, as the month of Safar has completed 30 days, the first day of Rabi’ Al Awwal will correspond with 25th August, 2025 CE.

This is truly a blessed month. It is the month in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born. It is also the month in which he ﷺ undertook the hijrah to Yathrib which would become Madinatun Nabi, Madinatul Munawwarah, the blessed city of Taybah. It is also the month in which the blessed Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away. This is a time to remember the Messenger of Allah and to renew our commitment to the Cause of Allah. May Allah bless your First Spring, which is the translation of “Rabi’ Al Awwal”.

    Thank you for this information. Do individuals celebrate the prophet’s pbuh birthday?

      AsSalaamu Alaikum, yes Muslims do celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday, not necessarily on the day he was born, May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, but they do celebrate. The most authentic way of commemorating the birth the Messenger of Allah, May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, is to do what he did which is fast on Mondays. Celebrations of the Birth of the Prophet, Mawalid, are usually events in which, the birth and life of the Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, are discussed, poetry is recited, qasidas are recited and people eat together. This is generally what occurs at a Mawlid (event commemorating the birth and life of the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
