Third month of the Islamic Calendar.

.
RABEE-UL-AWWAL

DEFINITION
	This is the first month of spring.
	This is the most significant month in Islamic history, marking not only the birth of The Holy Prophet (SAW) but also his passing from this world 63 years later, both events occurring on the 12th day of the month. Had there been room in Islamic teachings for the celebration of birthdays and anniversaries, these events would have undoubtedly been observed. Therefore, celebrations such as Eid Miaad an-Nabi (celebrating the birthday of the Holy Prophet (SAW)) is pure innovation. Rabee’ al-Awwal is also the month in which The Holy Prophet (SAW) migrated from Makkah to Madina.
