But when, why and who started it as a month of mourning? It was not the case during the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) nor it was the case during the 4 Caliphs. Infact after the death of Prophet Muhammad (saw) the Sahabi’s or the Caliphs never stated that the month of Rabi al-Awwal should be considered as the month of mourning since Prophet Muhammad (saw) died in that month.

Its a sincere question.

Agree with you. The Prophet SAW never announced morning days either for any of the previous prophets. Its OK to re-emphasize history from an academic POV but I don’t see the merit of it in our lives today from a religious perspective.
