This month of Rabeeul Awwal is the month of the birth of the Gifted Mercy. That is our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).  

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about fasting on Mondays. He said, “That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received Revelation”. Muslim.

The vast majority of the Muslim scholars of the past and the present said that it is very rewardable to hold events and activities in this blessed month to remind Muslims of this great event that changed history. Reconnecting with the our beloved Prophet (sallalalhu alaihi wasallam) especially in this blessed month and learning more about his blessed Seerah is a great good deed. There is no specific prescribed act of worship to do in this blessed month. However, all events and activities (throughout this month) geared towards reconnecting with him (SAW) and helping Muslims to follow his footsteps are greatly encouraged by our scholars.
