Jumada al-Thani

Jumada al-Thani (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ ٱلثَّانِي‎, romanized: Jumādā ath-Thānī, lit. 'The second Jumada') also known as Jumada al-Akhirah (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ ٱلْآخِرَة‎, romanized: Jumādā al-ʾĀkhirah, lit. 'The final Jumada'), or Jumada al-Akhir (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ ٱلْآخِر‎, romanized: Jumādā al-ʾĀkhir), is the sixth month in the Islamic Calendar. The word Jumda (Arabic: جمد‎), from which the name of the month is derived, is used to denote dry parched land, a land devoid of rain, and hence denote the dry months. Jumādā (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ‎) may also be related to a verb meaning "to freeze" and another account relates that water would freeze during this time of year.

Timing

The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Jumada al-Thani migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start and end dates for Jumada al-Thani are as follows (based on the Umm Al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia[5]):
