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 in 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. Jumādā (Arabic: جُمَادَىٰ) may also be related to a verb meaning "to freeze" and another account relates that water would freeze during this time of year.
