It is yet to be seen whether the Prime Minister approves the Sindh Governor’s request to declare two holidays in Pakistan on 11 and 12 Rabi al-Awwal.

The 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal, also known as Eid Milad-un-Nabi, holds great significance in the Islamic calendar. It is a day of deep reflection and celebration, as it is the birthday of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), whose life and teachings influence billions of people around the world.
