Rabi-ul-Awwal ki Aamad kaise kare ?

Let us try to celebrate this Blessed Month in a unique way, a 10-point program mentioned below.

* Recite Durood Shareef 12000 times or at least 1200 times in 12 Days
* Recite 12 Sipaarahs of the Holy Quran or at least 12 Rukus in 12 Days
* Feed at least 12 needy.
* Visit at least 12 sick people and also try to arrange medicines for them.
* Try to arrange the gathering for Meelad-e-Mustafa (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
* Visit places where the gatherings for Meelad-e-Mustafa (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and Praise of the Beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alaiahi Wasallam) are arranged in the form of Mehfil e Milad or Ijtemas.
* Decorate your Masjid, house, shop, workplace etc. for the whole month with the Green flags and enlighten it with attractive lights.

* Men's shaving their beard or trimming it less than a fist-length is Haraam. Islamic sisters' indulging in immodesty is also Haraam. In reverence of the birth of The Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, Islamic brothers should try to let their beards grow from the 1st to the 12th of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef and Islamic sisters should try to observe veil. With the blessing of doing so, Islamic brothers should make the intention of having a fistful beard permanently and Islamic sisters should make the intention of observing Shari Pardah, preferably wearing a Burqa’ (a long loose piece of clothing worn over the dress covering a woman from head to feet.) (Man's shaving his beard or trimming it less than a fist-length and woman's indulging in immodesty is Haraam. It is wajib (necessary) to repent of these sins and give them up)

* During the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, give 1200 or, if not possible, 112 or at least 12 rupees to a Sunni Alim (only adults should do so). To give this money to your Masjid Imam, mu’azzin or servants is also right; it would be excellent to do so every month. It is better to give the money on Friday because the reward of every good deed is increased 70 times on Friday

* If possible, buy everything new, for example, white clothes, turban, cap, Miswaak, handkerchief, slippers, tasbeeh, Itr (perfume), watch, pen etc. (Islamic sisters should also buy new things according to their needs) & wear on 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal

Nafil Namaz

It is written in the Book titled Al-Awrad that when the moon of Rabi' Al-Awwal is seen that night one should read 16 rakat Nafl(voluntary prayer) by making the intention of two rakats. In every rakat, after Surah Fatiha, read Surah Ikhlas 3 times. After reading the 16 Rakats read the following darood (salutation) upon the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him - ) a 1000 times.


and continue reading this darood (salutation) upto 12 days. Thus he shall see the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam in his dream but one must read it after Isha and sleep while in the state of wudu (ablution).

It is written in the Book titled Al-Mashaikh that when the moon of Rabi' Al-Awwal is seen. From that night upto the end of the month, if one reads the darood (salutation) written below, upon the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), one thousand and twentyfive times after Isha prayer. Then that person shall see the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam in his dream and that darood is:


and in the same book it is written that who ever reads the following darood in the month of Rabi' Al-Awwal 125,000 times, that person shall certainly see the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam in his dream and that darood is:
"Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam"

or read the darood as follows:




It is in the book titled Jawahir Gaybee that in the month of Rabi' Al-Awwal for 12 days keep sending gift of the reward of the salah (prayer mentioned below) to the Blessed soul of the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam . Because the Companions of the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam, Tabaeen and Taba Tabaeen (may Allah azwajal be pleased with them all) also used to send the reward of these rakats as a gift to the soul of the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam and they are twenty rakats.

In every rakat surah Ikhlas is read 21 times. If one is not able to do this prayer continuously for 12 days then one must read the perscribed 20 Rakats on the 2nd and the 12th days and send the reward of this prayer upon the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam. As the readers of this prayer have been given glad tiding of Paradise in their dreams by our Beloved Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam may my soul be sacrificied upon him Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam. And seeing the Holy Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam and him Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam giving the glad tiding even though him Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam being behind the curtain is like him Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam truly giving the glad tiding as if living.


May Allah Taala make this month a great blessing for us. - Aameen.
