Some Muslims do not partake as they believe it to be an innovation. Mawlid is done across the globe by majority of Muslims. Celebrations Īlthough historians and scholars disagree on the exact date of Muhammad's birth, it is celebrated by some Muslims on the 12th or 17th of Rabi' al-awwal. Therefore, the month cannot be related to the actual season of spring. As the Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar, the month naturally rotates over solar years, so Rabīʽ al-awwal can fall in spring or any other season. The name seems to have to do with the celebratory events in the month, as spring marks the end of winter (a symbol of sadness) and consequently the start of happiness. The word "Rabi" means " spring" and Al-awwal means "the first" in the Arabic language, so "Rabi' al-awwal" means "the first spring" in Arabic. In the days of the Ottoman Empire, the name of this month in Ottoman Turkish was Rèbi' ulèvvèl, with the abbreviation Ra. The name Rabī‘ al-awwal means " the first month or beginning of spring", referring to its position in the pre-Islamic Arabian calendar. The 1st of Muharram marks the beginning of the year 1445 Hijri.Rabiʽ al-Awwal ( Arabic: رَبِيع ٱلْأَوَّل, romanized: Rabīʿ al-ʾAwwal, lit.'The initial Rabi', also known as Rabi' al-Ula ( Arabic: رَبِيع ٱلْأُولَىٰ, romanized: Rabī‘ al-ʾŪlā, lit.'The first Rabi'), or Rabi' I) is the third month of the Islamic calendar.

(Religious Holiday) The 1st-3rd of Shawwal marks the first major holiday celebrating the completion of Ramadan.

The 27th of Rajab marks the night that God took Muhammad (pbuh) on a journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and then to the heavens. The 12th of Rabi’ Al-awal marks a celebration of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday.

The word Hijri means “Since Migration” referring to the year Muhammad peace be upon him (pbuh) and his companions migrated from their hometown Makkah to escape thirteen years of persecution to find refuge in a northern oasis, modern-day city of Medina. The 1st of Muharram marks the beginning of the year 1444 Hijri. This results in the Hijri Calendar being roughly 10 days shorter than the Gregorian Calendar every year. It takes the moon 29.5 days to orbit around the earth, therefore, all 12 months in the Islamic calendar are either 29 or 30 days long. The Islamic Calendar, known as the Hijri Calendar, is based on the lunar phase cycle.
