Question

Are we supposed to celebrate 12th Rabiul Awwal?

Answer

There is no such a thing like celebrating. One should be thinking to himself that how should we be showing appreciation to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in every day of our life. Do we show appreciation on one day and forget him after that. His favours on us are so innumerable that everyday we should be speaking about him, reading durood and practising his mubaarak sunnats and ways.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
