The Month of Dhū l-Qaʿda 1446 A.H.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Dhū l-Qaʿda (Arabic: ذو القعدة) (or Dhi l-Qaʿda) is the 11th month in the Hijri lunar calendar. This month is one of the Haram Months (Muharram, Rajab, Dhu l-Qa'da, and Dhu l-Hijja are haram months) in which fighting is prohibited. The month of Dhu l-Qa'da is also one of the months of Hajj (Shawwal, Dhu l-Qa'da and Dhu l-Hijja).
Literally, Dhu l-Qa'da is derived from "Qu'ud" (Arabic: قعود) an Arabic noun which means sitting and used figuratively in the meaning of avoiding war and fight. Since Arabs avoided war during this month it was called Dhu l-Qa'da (the month which has sitting).
Talking about the merits of the month, al-Sayyid b. Tawus writes, "The month of Dhu l-Qa'da is a very good time for praying, for resolving the hardships and troubles, and also for praying against oppressor and oppression."[5] He adds: This month is called "the month of accepting the supplications"; thus one must seize the opportunities in this month and observe "fasting of Wishes"[6] (fast in order to get what he wants from God)."

Mirza Jawad Maliki Tabrizi wrote in his book al-Muraqibat: "This month is the first Sacred Month, in which fighting and war even against unbelievers is forbidden, so how about fighting and opposing God of the universe in this month! The heart and the body must be kept away from sins and disobeying God in these months more than other times.
