Pakistanis are set to enjoy a rare three-day holiday in September, offering a perfect break for relaxation, travel, and family time. Reports suggest the Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awwal will begin late August, with 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal likely falling on Friday, September 5. This day will be a public holiday nationwide to celebrate Eid Milad-un-Nabi, honoring the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) birth.
The following day, Saturday, September 6, marks Defence Day of Pakistan. The nation will pay tribute to its armed forces and martyrs through remembrance events and patriotic gatherings. Sunday, September 7, naturally extends the break, creating a consecutive three-day weekend.
These extended holidays have been a highlight in 2025, giving people a chance to unwind. The September break is expected to spark celebrations, family outings, and cultural events across Pakistan. Cities may see increased travel, while rural areas could host local festivities. It’s a welcome opportunity to bond and reflect. With strong community spirit, this holiday stretch promises joy and unity for all.
