Jumada al-Thani (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ ٱلثَّانِي, romanized: Jumādā ath-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.

In Ottoman Turkish, the month was called Jèmāzìyyu-'l-ākhir,[1] or G̃emazi-yèl-Aher.[2] The month's Turkish abbreviation was jìm',[1] and its Latin abbreviation was Djem. II.[3] This is also spelled Cümadelahir[4] or Cümâd-el-âhire.[citation needed] The modern Turkish spellings are Cemaziyelahir and Cemaziyelsani.
Timing
editThe Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Jumada al-Thani migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start and end dates for Jumada al-Thani are as follows (based on the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia[5]):
| AH | First day (CE/AD) | Last day (CE/AD |
|---|---|---|
| 1443 | 4 January 2022 | 1 February 2022 |
| 1444 | 25 December 2022 | 22 January 2023 |
| 1445 | 14 December 2023 | 12 January 2024 |
| 1446 | 2 December 2024 | 31 December 2024 |
| 1447 | 22 November 2025 | 20 December 2025 |
