Rabi’ul Awwal

Rabi’ul Awwal is the third month of the Islamic calendar in which we see the birth of  the most awesome man who walked the Earth.

The name alludes to the beginning of spring. However since the lunar year is 11 days shorter than the solar year, Rabi’ul Awwal migrates through the seasons.
