Aaj Rabi al-Thani Ki Kitni Tarikh Hai?
Aaj Rabi al-Thani ki 5 tarikh hai — Thursday, 17 September 2026
Aaj Rabi al-Thani ki 5 tarikh hai (Thursday, 17 September 2026) — Rabi al-Thani is the Islamic month running right now in India, so the full date is 5 Rabi al-Thani 1448 AH.
Rabi al-Thani is the fourth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, following Rabi al-Awwal. It is also known as Rabi al-Aakhir, meaning "the second spring," a name that pairs it with the month before it. When people across India search "aaj Rabi al-Thani ki kitni tarikh hai," they are looking for the current Hijri date within this fourth lunar month, which begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon.
Rabi al-Thani ki ahmiyat — significance
Rabi al-Thani carries no obligatory fast, sacred night, or major festival tied to it in Islamic law. In that sense it is one of the calendar's quieter months, and it is honest to say so rather than invent virtues for it.
Its best-known association in South Asia comes on the 11th, remembered as Gyarhvin Sharif. This day is linked to Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA), the revered scholar and saint of Baghdad known widely in the subcontinent as Ghaus-e-Azam. Many families in India mark the date with recitation, charity and food distributed in his memory.
These Gyarhvin observances are cultural traditions built around the saint's remembrance, not commandments of the month itself. Scholars differ on the practice, so the day is honoured in some communities and observed simply as an ordinary date in others.
Rabi al-Thani mein kya karte hain
For most Muslims in India, Rabi al-Thani passes as a normal month with no fixed fasts or special nights required. Those who keep voluntary practices continue them as usual, such as fasting on Mondays and Thursdays or the three white days in the middle of the lunar month.
Where Gyarhvin Sharif is observed, the eleventh is the focal point. Households arrange gatherings for zikr, recitation of the Quran, and langar or niyaz, sending the reward to Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA). If you do not follow this tradition, there is nothing you are obliged to do; keeping your regular prayers and good deeds through the month is enough.
