Also known as Jumada Al-Akhir, Jumada Al-Thani appears as the sixth month in the Islamic Calendar.
The word Jumada denotes dry and patched land, the land which is devoid of rain. Hence it portrays the dry times of the year. The calendar based on months possesses an essential role in terms of scheduling time and significant events in the daily routine of their respective believers.
A variety of types of almanacs are present which are created by the people of the other religions and areas just to know about specific occasions, holidays, traditions, etc. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) reached age 40 this month and was ready concerning his divine duty.
Surprisingly, one day while he was in the cave located at Mount Hira, the Angel of Revelation, Gabriel appeared and stated to him; Recite!, He then asked with surprise, “What shall I recite?”. Again, the divine voice very openly and quoted, “Recite, O Muhammad!”
