Islamic calendar Jumaada Al’awal, May

Jumada al-Awwal, also known as Jumada al-Ula, or Jumada Ⅰ, is the fifth month of the 12 lunar months in the Islamic calendar. The month spans 29 or 30 days. The origin of the name is theorized by some as from the word jamād meaning “arid, dry, or rainless” – denoting the dry and parched land, hence the dry months.
