Jumāda al-ʿUla is the fifth month of the Islamic calendar (Hijri calendar).
In Arabic “Jumādā” means “dry” or “frozen,” and “al-ūlā” means “first.”
Hence, it means “first dry month.”
Originally, in ancient Arabia, this month marked the end of the rainy season and the beginning of the dry season.

While no special obligations or fasting are prescribed for this month itselfً in Islam, all months are under the sovereignty of Allah and it is recommended that they be observed with respect, each month is an opportunity for self-reflection as a milestone in the life of faith.

Jumāda al-ʿUla is an ideal month for maintaining consistency in daily religious practices (e.g., salat, dhikr, istighfar).

– Sayings of the Prophet (ﷺ): “The best deeds are those that are least persistent.”
