Jumada Al-Thani or Jumada al-Akhira is the 6th month in the Islamic Hijri Calendar.
The origin of the word “Jumda”, from which the name is derived, is used to denote dry parched land: land devoid of rain, and hence denote the dry months.
Since a year of the Hijri calendar is a lunar-based one, that is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Jumada Al-Thani migrates throughout the seasons.
