Jumada al-Thani, also known as Jumada al-Akhirah, Jumada al-Akhir, or Jumada II, is the sixth month of the Islamic calendar. The word Jumda (جمد), from which the name of the month is derived, is used to denote dry, parched land, a land devoid of rain. Jumādā (جمادى) 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.
