The beginning of the Muslim chronology is associated with one of major events in the history of Islam - Hijra, that is, the resettlement of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina. After a two-week journey, on September 21, 622, he entered with his companions within the boundaries of Medina. The beginning of the lunar year, that is, the 2nd day of the month of Muharram, coincided that year with July 16th. It is from this day that most of those who profess Islam count a new era for Muslims - from the Hijra of the Messenger of Allah. Holidays in Islam are sacred months, days and nights, which are indicated by the Almighty through his Messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him, as a special mercy of Allah, giving every Muslim the opportunity to increase good deeds in order to succeed in Last life.
The Muslim lunar calendar consists of 12 months, each of which lasts from one new moon to the next, namely 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 3.8 seconds, so some months have 29 days, and others 30. Thus, lunar year consists of 354 days, which is 11 days shorter than the sun. This explains the annual shift in the Muslim lunar calendar towards solar calendar 11 days ahead.
The main holidays in Islam are the Feast of Sacrifice (Kurban-Bayram, Eid al-Adha) and the Feast of Breaking the Fast (Uraza-Bayram, Eid al-Fitr). The sacred nights of Laylat al-Qadr, Laylat al-Bara "at, Laylat al-Miraj, Laylat al-Ragaib; the sacred days of Arafah Day, Ashura Day, the holy months of Muharram, Rajab, Shaaban, Ramadan, Zul-Hijjah are marked with special service .

November 19 - Mawlid, the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, the 11th day of the month of Rabi ul-Aval. The day on which the Prophet was born is one of the most revered days of the year. On this day, sermons are read in mosques and at home meetings, alms are distributed, and other good deeds are done.
Note: every Friday - Juma (day of meetings) - a visit by the faithful Muslims to the mosque for joint prayer (prayer). This is a day of rest for Muslims around the world. It coincides with many events in the history of the Islamic religion: on Friday the Prophet Muhammad and his cousin Ali were born, on Friday the Prophet and his companions moved from Mecca to Medina.
So the amazing and delightful month has come, in which the Favorite of the Almighty ﷺ was born - the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal.
It has become a tradition this month to hold mawlids - meetings of believers, at which they talk about the wonderful qualities of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, about his life, are performed religious rites, blessings (salavat) are read in honor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
To read salawat in honor of the Prophet ﷺ, the Lord Himself calls us in the Qur'an: “Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet ﷺ! O you who believe, bless him and greet him with a sincere greeting!” (the meaning of verse 56 of Surah Ahzab).
We pray to the Almighty to grant us the opportunity to spend blessed days of the month of Rabi-ul-awwal in zeal in good deeds, praising the Messenger of God ﷺ, studying his heritage.
The editors of the site site congratulates everyone with the onset of this month! May the Lord grant us sincere love for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and strengthen us on the true path! And may it preserve peace and tranquility in our Motherland, save it from all sorts of troubles, unrest, disagreements, interethnic and interfaith conflicts! Amine.
The spiritual leaders of the Muslims of Russia also addressed the believers with congratulations on the occasion of the approach of the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal.
The month of Rabi-ul-Awwal is one of the most significant months in Islamic history, because it was in this month that the Almighty blessed us with the birth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came with the eternal truth of tawheed - the oneness of Allah, the true religion. It is this faith that frees humanity from ignorance and superstition and spreads light and justice throughout the world.
Even his enemies recognized his extraordinary virtues - even before his prophetic calling, he was known as "Al-Amin", which translates as "Truthful".
The Almighty Himself speaks about this in the Holy Quran, calling His Prophet ﷺ "mercy for the worlds."
The Prophet ﷺ left us an example of excellent behavior in a variety of public roles - he was a caring husband, a loving father, a wonderful and true friend, a just and wise ruler, a brave military leader. His legacy has stood the test of time and his reputation remains unsurpassed.
He was admired at all times not only by believers, but also by those who were far from religious and spiritual concepts.
In the Quran, Allah testifies to the exceptionally noble character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and also tells us that Muslims should follow his path - the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ:
"There was for you (O believers) in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (in his words and deeds) a fine example for those who hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much.” (meaning of verse 21 of Surah Al-Ahzab)
Today has come blessed month Rabi-ul-awwal, when we, Muslims, again got the opportunity to thank the Almighty for mercy for the worlds, reading mawlids and nasheeds that tell about his life and wonderful qualities. All this reinforces muslim ummah making it even more cohesive.
The Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia congratulates all Muslims on the coming of the blessed month and wishes every believer to get the most out of it. May Allah help us to spend this month in diligent worship of Him and glorification of His Beloved! Amine.
As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh! Dear brothers and sisters!
I sincerely congratulate you on the beginning of the holy month, in which a joyful event took place for all mankind - our blessed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent down as a mercy to the worlds. He is the owner of the highest character, who showed mankind the path from ignorance and darkness to science and light.
These days, Muslims around the world congratulate each other on the advent of the month of praise of the Prophet ﷺ.
It is gratifying to see how believers every year more and more often hold collective charitable events, mawlids, where they talk about the biography of our Prophet ﷺ, about his noble disposition, tireless asceticism.
His whole life is an ideal example of serving the Lord of the worlds, and every Muslim should know the Sir of the Prophet ﷺ and make his image an example to follow.
I ask the Almighty to give us more opportunities to praise the Prophet ﷺ in the best way, not only this month, but always.
I also ask Allah for the sake of His Beloved ﷺ, who was born this month, to keep peace and tranquility in our Motherland, to protect our land from all troubles, troubles, disagreements, interethnic and interfaith conflicts.
According to the hadith, on the Day of Judgment we will be with those whom we loved in this world. May Allah grant us mercy to experience such love for His Messenger ﷺ, so that on this difficult day we can be under the banner of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with his followers and heirs!
Wa salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-rahim! Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu! Dear Muslims!
On behalf of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Tatarstan and on my own behalf, I sincerely wish you with the onset of the blessed month of Rabi-ul-Avval!
Today, at sunset, the third month of the Muslim calendar, Rabiul-Avval, has come. The people call this month also the month of Mawlid. Mawlid in Arabic means "birth", "time of birth". It was in this month on its 12th day that the last messenger was born - the venerable Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Dear fellow believers! The birth of the Prophet ﷺ is one of the greatest blessings of the Almighty bestowed on mankind. The Venerable Qur'an says: "(O Muhammad) We sent you only as a mercy to the worlds" (Prophets, 107th verse). Therefore, Rabiul-Avval is a month of praise for this priceless mercy of the Most High Creator. During the entire month of Rabiul-Avval, it is customary to read sermons on life path the Messenger of Muhammad ﷺ, perform and listen to munajats and make dua. It is also possible to hold Majlis with the reading of Salavat, praising the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Indeed, Almighty Allah himself in the 56th verse of Surah Ahzab calls us to pronounce them in honor of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: “Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O those who believe! Bless him and welcome him in peace."
The life of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his perfect disposition for every Muslim is an example. His wise instructions strengthen our faith and illuminate the soul with light. His hadiths teach us to be patient, generous, wise. The path of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the only true one for all mankind, and the Most Pure Sunnah illuminates the path for us until the Day of Judgment. With all our actions, lifestyle and morality, we should try to be like him, for the Honorable Qur'an says: “Say (O Muhammad):“ If you love Allah, then follow me, and then Allah will love you and forgive you your sins Indeed, Allah is (much) Forgiving, Merciful" (meaning of verse 31 of Surah "Alu Imran").
May Allah Almighty help us spend these blessed days of the month of Rabiul-Awwal in due worship and glorification of the Messenger of Muhammad ﷺ, and, following his example, gain the mercy and blessings of the Lord.
Dear brothers and sisters!
These days, we, the Muslims of Russia, as well as our co-religionists from all over the world, are celebrating the onset of the birth month of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. I sincerely congratulate all the believers of our blessed land on the advent of this beautiful month - Rabi-ul-Awwal!
On behalf of the Spiritual Board of Muslims of the Stavropol Territory and on my own behalf, I cordially congratulate you, my brothers and sisters of the same faith, compatriots from bright holiday Islam!
I pray the Almighty to grant us all peace and joy, happiness and health, success and prosperity, mercy and prosperity! May Allah bless us to do good deeds!
On behalf of the Spiritual Board of Muslims of Moscow and on my own behalf, I congratulate the believers on the arrival of the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal!
Throughout our lives, we should strive to know the life of our Prophet ﷺ, be filled with love for him.
One of the hadiths says: “Whoever loves me loves Allah. And whoever obeys me obeys Allah.”
Therefore, our faith will be complete only if we love the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ more than ourselves, our loved ones, relatives and all people on this earth.
These blessed days help us remember the exalted examples from the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as well as his good qualities, words and deeds, in which edification is hidden for us.
This month is the month of gratitude to Allah Almighty, who gave us the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
May it be an opportunity for us to change, to become better and closer to Allah.
May the grace of these days strengthen our love for the Almighty, the Prophet ﷺ and help us carry this state throughout our lives.
Mufti of the Irkutsk Region (Baikal Muftiate) Farid Hazrat Mingaleev
Dear brothers and sisters! Congratulations to everyone on the beginning of the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal!
Rabi-ul-awwal is a blessed month when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ lit up this land with his appearance.
Remembering the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ we should always and everywhere bless him and study the history of his life.
However, the blessed Rabi-ul-Awwal in many ways encourages us to remember him, the stories from his life with even greater zeal and try to at least a little ennoble our morals and love even more the best of the creations of Almighty Allah.
May Almighty Allah help us to praise our beloved Prophet ﷺ in the best possible way, may Allah grant us his mercy to be worthy of the intercession of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Amine.
On behalf of the Mufti of the Novosibirsk Region, on behalf of the imams and the entire muftiate, we congratulate you, dear brothers and sisters, on the blessed month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, in which Allah illuminated the entire universe with the hope of salvation and the light of our eyes - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
We wish all of us to spend this month in the study of his biography and read more of Salavat to the Prophet ﷺ.
May Allah grant us all strong iman, health, intercession (shafaat) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on the Day of Judgment and all the best in both worlds. Amine!
The month of Rabi-ul-Awwal is one of the most significant in the Muslim calendar, since it was in this blessed month that the last messenger of Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was born. In this month, the true believer strives to perform worship, intending to gain even greater pleasure from Allah. The list below is a kind of guidance for this month, which, with the help of Allah, will improve our life and faith both in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal and after it. Dedicate this month to what the loved one of the Almighty loved and to what will bring Him closer to you:
1. Daily reading and listening to the Quran. One of better ways to become closer to the Almighty and His Messenger (peace be upon him) - these are the words of the Almighty himself. A little Qur'an a day removes Satan from your life. Get started today. Improve your reading, study tajweed. For the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) the Qur'an had a special significance, because it was His Allah who was chosen as the one to whom His words were revealed.
2. Study the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Did you know that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to a wedding celebration and fell asleep. Did you know that the hair of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was braided into small four braids. Read the amazing biography of the Messenger of the Almighty, many facts from which will be new to you. Learn about His disposition, actions, preferences and activities. Studying the Sirah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), you will learn the whole life of the Messenger, which is not only a prophetic mission, but also the life of a prophet in everyday life.
3. Listen to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). Many things in our lives can be changed by listening to the prophet. Ask yourself: am I really listening to the words of the Messenger? The words and instructions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) are described in hadiths that guide us on His path. Read and study His hadiths, find answers to life's questions in them, apply them in your life. Each of the sayings of the Prophet is capable of leading to reflection and awareness.
4. Increase the praise of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). Make as much salawat as possible, ask Allah to grant peace and blessings to the one thanks to whom our religion was completed and perfected and has come down to our days. There are many blessings and barakat in praising the Prophet.
5. Perform dagwat. You can also call to Islam by your own example, applying the sunnah of the prophet in life and being a good example of a Muslim. The Qur'an says: "Invite to the path of the Almighty with wisdom and a good beautiful sermon" (16:125).
6. Visit relatives and friends. Family ties and good attitude towards people are very important in Islam. Fulfilling the sunnah of the Prophet, dedicate this month to family and loved ones. Visit relatives, invite them to visit, treat them with delicious food and give gifts just like that, for no reason, but with the intention of the pleasure of the Almighty.
7. Don't forget those less fortunate than you. Don't forget to lend a helping hand to the needy, the homeless, the poor families. Do good in the name of the prophet (peace be upon him).
8. Keep a post. Try to keep the fast for one or more days. Fasting is a Sunnah of the Prophet, the Messenger of Allah practiced fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. Abstinence from food, drink and everything forbidden will help you look at many things differently and become closer to Allah.
9. Make dua. Dua is the main weapon of the believer, through which he talks with the Almighty. Ask Allah to grant you and your loved ones good things and make you good. Make dua for the dead and the living and dua for the strengthening of the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad, of which you are a part.
10. Strive to become closer to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). Closeness to the Prophet will make you closer to Allah. And in approaching the Messenger lies our salvation.
Sayda Hyatt
On November 9 of this year, the month of Rabiul Awwal, the third month of the Muslim lunar calendar, will begin. What is the month of Rabiul Avwal famous for? According to the generally accepted opinion, it was in this month that our Prophet Muhammad was born - the last Prophet and Messenger of the Almighty, "The Seal of the Prophets", "Mercy for the Worlds", peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
With his arrival, she received renewal and a new birth. ancient tradition monotheism, where a person communicates with his Creator directly, bypassing any intermediaries and religious authorities.
By the time of its appearance, the old monotheistic religions had practically fallen into decay and dried up. From the moment the Jews lost their state, the Jewish religion has turned into a nationalist ideology only for the "chosen people", for those who are by blood. Christianity has lost the true teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him), turning into state religion with intricate teachings, a complex hierarchy of church ministers (who were considered intermediaries between God and people) and many rites. In the civilized world at that time, empires - such as Byzantine or Persian - ruled, where the personality of a person was suppressed by the state machine and completely dependent on the arbitrariness of those in power. So with the sending down of a new revelation, people have the opportunity not only for a personal relationship with God, but also the hope of building a more just society, where a person will be treated fairly.
The Muslims of the first centuries did not single out this month among others. The love for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the memory of his presence in the world were alive in the Muslim community. However, over time, Muslims - especially simple people- began to forget the details of his life and teachings, and in order to revive knowledge of this, Muslim rulers and scholars found it necessary to hold such events this month as mawlids, special celebrations dedicated to the coming into the world of the Lord of both worlds (peace and blessings be upon him). It is known that for the first time the Mawlid began to be celebrated in the 12th century (9th century AH) at the direction of Muzaffauddin ibn Zeinuddin, the ruler of the Syrian locality of Irbil. For the first Mawlid, he gathered famous scholars and Sufis who knew Hadith well.
Traditionally, during these celebrations, sira and hadiths are read, which speak of the miracles that accompanied the birth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); verses of the Koran are read, which mention the virtues of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the need to bless and greet him; salavats (blessings) are read to him in abundance and nasheeds are sung.
Scholars of the time - such as Imam Ibn Hajar Askalani or Imam Suyuta - approved of the holding of Mawlids, considering them "bid'a hasan" - a good, good innovation. Later scholars such as the famous Indian scholar Abdul-Khai Laknavi (rahimahullah), who lived in the 19th century (13th century AH) also issued a fatwa on its permissibility.
“Even if we agree that the mawlid was not known during the first three generations, and that the position of the mawlid is not transmitted from the mujtahid imams, nevertheless, since the Shariah establishes the principle that every method through which knowledge is disseminated is desirable ( and mawlid can be attributed to these methods), a decision was made on its desirability. That is why knowledgeable jurists and scholars who had the right to issue fatwas, such as Abu Shama, Hafiz ibn Hajar, Suyuty, Shami (Ibn Abidin) and others, may Allah have mercy on them all, issued a fatwa on the desirability of this action.
Yes, if illegal practices and characteristics are introduced into the mawlid, this action will no longer be desirable, however, this will not have anything to do with the permissibility of the mawlid as such.
["Majmu'a al-Fatawa", 2/160-163]
In our time, the practice of mawlid is subjected to many attacks, but most often it is not the mawlid itself that causes censure, but various abuse and excess that have developed around it (for example, timing it to a certain date - 12 Rabiul-avval, mixing the sexes at the holiday, drinking alcohol and similar things). But these excesses were also condemned by great scholars who spoke about the admissibility of the Mawlid.
And finally, I would like to remind our brothers and sisters: our joy over the birth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) should not be limited only to holding some festive events, where people gather like for a concert - to listen to nasheeds, lectures and sermons, to communicate ( and also to eat delicious food). Love for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) should not be “one-time”, one-time, we must show it throughout the year - and not only with beautiful words, but, above all, with our deeds and deeds. To try, like him, to show mercy to other people and help them, to be as patient in difficulties, as diligent in worship, to be gentle and good-tempered; get rid of anger, irritation, slander, rudeness, laziness.
Then we will really become the best community - what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to see us, and we will be worthy successors of his work. And may Allah help us in this.
On the 12th day of the month of Rabigul-Awwal, 571, Muhammad was born, Sallallahu Alayhi Vasalam, who, forty years after his birth, was destined to become a great Prophet, a messenger to all mankind, as Allah says in the Qur'an: “ And we sent you as a mercy to the worlds».
Thanks to one person, the light of the religion of Islam spread to all continents of the world and now there are about 1 billion 200 million Muslims who revere the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), giving him peace and blessings.
There are more Muslims in Rabigul Awwal than in other months remember the prophet, about his most beautiful morals, ethics, states, deeds, relationships with other people, worship and other areas of his life, do good deeds, provide charitable assistance, thereby expressing love for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and prove this love with their actions , following in everything the example of the beloved Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Rabi-ul-Awwal- This is the third month of the Muslim lunar calendar, which is one of the most significant for believers. This month is special for the birth of the last Messenger of Allah - the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This month, the entire Muslim world celebrates this event, as Allah has blessed humanity with the birth of His best creation. The word "Rabi-ul-awwal" means the first month of spring.
Events that took place in Rabi-ul-Awwal:
1. The Prophet made the move from Mecca to Medina.
2. In the second Hijri year, the battle of Buwaat took place.
3. In the second year of the Hijri, the battle of Saffyan took place.
4. 6 years before the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him), the daughter of Abu Bakr Asma was born.
5. 7 years before the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) His daughter Sayyida Rukkayya was born.
6. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique was declared the first caliph.
7. Umm-Kulthum married the third Caliph Sayyidina Usman Ghani Zunnu.
8. In the year 10 Hijri, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) left this world.
This is a special month, full of the blessings of the Almighty, including the birth of the Messenger, his Hijra to Medina, the construction of the first mosque. In addition, Rabi-ul-awwal is significant in that it was in this month that the first Juma prayer was read.
The sacred 12th day of the month of Rabi-ul-awwal is especially important for Muslims all over the world, since on this day the one who led humanity from darkness to light was born, and the one about whom Allah said "blessings to all worlds." Mawlid is celebrated with great devotion, awe and reverence.
This day is another opportunity for Muslims to distract from the mundane and think about the main thing, about the Almighty, who blessed the world with His last messenger, about what the world would be like without Him, about who completed our sacred religion of Islam, to reflect on the life of the Prophet ( peace be upon him) and the precepts that he commanded. This day is a reminder for believers of the revival of the values practiced by the prophet and his sunnah (peace be upon him). The prophet became a blessing, and everything connected with him is good. This day brings us closer to the teachings of Islam and the way of life of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The birth month of the Prophet (peace be upon him) encourages Muslims to remember the blessings of the Messenger and fills hearts with love for the Prophet.
The birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not a birthday in the usual sense. Mawlid is the day of the blessing of the Almighty, with which he honored humanity. In Mawlid, those who dig out rejoice on the occasion of the birth of the Prophet and love for Him. This is a joyful day for every believer, since it was this day that Allah made special, giving good to every Muslim. Allah directed His love to believers on earth in the form of the best of His creations, the most perfect and capable of directing humanity to the truth. The life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is without a doubt the main example for all Muslims, and every Muslim is obliged to study the events of his (peace be upon him) life and follow the practical example left by him (peace be upon him) in every area of life.
The celebration of the birthday of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is a sign of love for Him and the desire to follow Him. On this day, in honor of the Prophet (peace be upon him), they read prayers, remember his life, which has become the standard of morality for believers, and strive to earn his love. pious deeds. And in this month, as in other months, Muslims should read the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him), talk about the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), read the Quran and Sunnah. And most importantly, what should be done on this day, as on all others, is to praise Allah for the blessing, for the One thanks to which Islam has come down to us as a perfect and complete religion.
