About Jumada al-Awwal
Jumada al-Awwal (جُمَادَىٰ ٱلْأُولَىٰ) is the fifth month of the Hijri calendar. Its name means “The first of parched land.” The fifth month. The name recalls the dry season in which the months were originally fixed.
Like every Hijri month it has 29 or 30 days, determined in the Umm al-Qura calendar by the official tables and in the tabular calendar by a fixed arithmetic rule. Because the lunar month depends on the sighting of the new crescent, the exact first day can differ by a day from the calculated date.
