Jamadi’ ul Awwal, also known as Jumada al-Ula , is the fifth month of the 12 Lunar Months in the Islamic Calendar. The month spans 29 or 30 days.
The origin of the name is believed to be derived from the word “jamad” meaning “arid, dry or rainless” denoting the dry and parched land, hence the dry month, referring to the pre-islamic summer. Jumada may also relate to a verb meaning “to freeze” and another account relates that water would freeze during this time of year. The secondary name Jumada- al- Ula may possibly mean “to take charge with, commend, entrust, commit or care during the arid or cold month.
