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'), Jumada al-Akhir (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ ٱلْآخِر, romanized: Jumādā al-ʾĀkhir), or Jumada II 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.[citation needed] 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.
In Turkish, used in the Ottoman Empire times and context, it was Jèmāzìyyu-'l-ākhir,[1] or G̃emazi-yèl-Aher.[2] Its Turkish abbreviation was jìm',[1] and its Latin abbreviation was Djem. II.[3] This is also spelled Cümadelahir[4] or (cümâd-el-âhire).[citation needed] The modern Turkish spellings are Cemaziyelahir and Cemaziyelsani.
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]):
