Jumada al-awwal

Jumada al-awwal

Jumada al-awwal ( _ar. جمادى الأول) is the fifth month in the Islamic calendar.

We can also find the alternative spelling Jumada al-Ula.

The origin of the word is as follows: the word Jumda, from which the name of the month is derived, is used to denote dry parched land: land devoid of rain, and hence denote the dry months

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-Awwal migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start and end dates for Jumada al-Awwal are as follows (all future dates are estimates):

* 1426 AH – First day: June 8, 2005; last day: July 7, 2005
