ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the nation to celebrate next week’s birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in an “unprecedented manner” this year, state news agency APP reported on Sunday.
Rabi Al-Awwal is the third month in the Islamic calendar. The month holds special significance for Muslims around the world as they observe the 12th of the month as Mawlid Al-Nabi, the birth day of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“As you all know that this is a special month when our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came into this world. This is a month of blessings,” APP quoted the PM as saying.
“Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a great leader in the history of the world. The great quality of a leader is that he brings together humans and does not spread hate.”
“So I want all Pakistanis to fully participate in the celebrations of 12 Rabiul Awal … My message to the people is that everybody should take part in the celebrations,” the PM added.
On Friday, PM Khan shared a picture of his personal residence lit up for the upcoming occasion and wrote on Twitter: “Getting prepared for the Rabi ul Awal celebrations.”
