Jumada al-Thani (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ ٱلثَّانِي, romanized: Jamād al-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 of 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. [citation needed] Jumādā (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ) may also be related to a verb meaning "to freeze", and another account relates that water would freeze in pre-Islamic Arabia during this time of year. Jumada al-Thani is not a special month of worship, but Allah (SWT) and His messenger the Prophet (SAW) recommend voluntary acts such as giving charity, recitation of the Qur’an, Istighfar and voluntary prayers all the year round. It is important to use your time wisely. For the Believer, every moment, every day is a precious opportunity for reward and to wipe sins away with good deeds.
