Celebrating Mawlid is an Islamic Thing
While many Muslims celebrate the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday (Mawlid), it is not a prescribed act of worship in Islam. There is no evidence from the Prophet’s life or from his companions that this day was celebrated. The tradition developed centuries later, and its observance varies widely among Muslim communities unfortunately.

While dates are nutritious, there's no truth to the idea that consuming only dates during this month will give you special abilities.
Special Rewards for Offering Congratulations at the Start of Rabi’ al-Awwal
There is a fabricated hadith circulating that claims if you congratulate others at the start of Rabi' al-Awwal, you will be saved from the Fire. This hadith has been debunked as false and is not recognized in authentic Islamic teachings.

This exaggeration plays on the importance of the month, but missing a prayer is always a serious matter in Islam, regardless of the month.
The Month of Rabi’ al-Awwal is Always Fortunate
Some people believe that Rabi' al-Awwal is inherently blessed and brings good fortune. While it is a significant month due to the birth of the Prophet (PBUH), Islam teaches that all months are created by Allah, and no month has any intrinsic power to bring good or bad luck.
