Therefore, practices such as ngurisang (hair shaving for babies), nyunatang (circumcision for boys), namatang (completing the Qur'an reading), and merarik (marriage) are mostly performed in the maulid month. Sasak Muslims believed that maulid (Rabiul Awwal) month is a noble month and the best month to carry out syukuran (thankfulness) celebration or other religious rituals activities.
