Jumada al-Thani
Jumada al-Thani, also known as Jumada al-Akhirah, Jumada al-Akhir, or Jumada II, is the sixth month of the Islamic calendar. The word Jumda, from which the name of the month is derived, is used to denote dry, parched land, a land devoid of rain. Jumādā may also be related to a verb meaning 'to freeze', and another account relates that water would freeze in pre-Islamic Arabia during this time of year.
Timing
The Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Jumada al-Thani migrates throughout the seasons.
