In mid-1980s, Imam Khomeini, the architect of the Islamic revolution, proposed an idea of ‘Hafta’eh Wahdat’ (week of unity and solidarity) in the month of Rabiul Awwal so that Muslims, cutting across sects, can come together to honor the memory of their Prophet (pbuh), who championed the cause of Islamic unity and tolerance all his life. Likewise, in 2020, after many abhorrent and blasphemous attempts about the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from West, the provincial Government of Punjab-Pakistan to sensitize the global community about the ardent love and affection of Muslims towards Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) took an initiative to celebrate "Shan-e-Rehmat-ul-Aalmeen Week" in the Month of Rabi ul Awal every year.
