According to the official holiday calendar, Pakistanis will get a chance to enjoy a couple of important holidays in October 2025. These days are marked for religious observances, giving people the opportunity to rest, spend time with family, and attend special gatherings.

1. Eid Milad-un-Nabi – Thursday, 2 October
The first major holiday of the month is Eid Milad-un-Nabi (12 Rabi-ul-Awwal), which celebrates the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The day is observed with Milad processions, mosque decorations, charity work, and Mehfil-e-Naat gatherings across the country.
