The Islamic calendar is made up of 12 months, the sixth of which is called Jumada al-Thani (also known as Jumada al-Akhir). Though not the most significant month, several important events took place during Jumada al-Thani which are important to Muslims of all sects.
Jumada Al-Awwal is the 5th month in the Islamic calendar and signals the beginning of the summer season. “Jamad” itself means “dry or rainless”, however, since the Islamic calendar follows the lunar calendar, Jumada Al-Awwal will occur in winter this year.
Rajab is the seventh month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months designated by Allah (SWT), making it of special significance along with Dhul al-Qadah, Dhul Hijjah, and Muharram. There are many blessings to be sought in Rajab, but it is an incredibly religious time as several key events took place during this month, too.
Death is often a frightening thought, but one that we should not be scared of. When you truly understand death you will no longer have to be scared of it.
Even though death is not a conversation that many may want to have with their families and friends, it is also an internal conversation many don’t want to have with themselves. Death is inevitable, and so we must prepare for it - Islam shows us the way.

Rabi al-Awwal (also known as Rabi Ul Awal) is the third month of the Islamic calendar and follows Muharram and Safar. Rabi al-Awwal literally translates to “the first spring”, despite this, the meaning has no relevance in today’s climate. This is because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar calendar as opposed to the solar seasons. As a result, Rabi al-Awwal will occur in autumn this year.
