Rabi-ul-Awwal religious observances in South Asia

Overview

The Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awwal has commenced in Pakistan and India, marking the period leading up to Eid Milad-un-Nabi.

Initial astronomical forecasts from the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) suggested that the moon was unlikely to be sighted on August 13, with visibility conditions potentially delaying the official start of the month until August 15.

Following the commencement of the month, religious observances have begun. In Pakistan, the observance of Eid Milad-un-Nabi is scheduled for August 26, 2026. In India, specifically in Mysuru, Baara-Roz-Ijlaas celebrations are scheduled from August 14 to 26, featuring daily lectures at various Masjids. Across the region, the month is characterized by prayers, the recitation of Naats, and the illumination of mosques and homes.
