JUMADA AL AAKHIRAH

The month of Jumada-al-Aakhirah is the sixth month of Islamic calendar. The Islamic or Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar. It contains 12 months that are based on the motion of the moon. Islamic calendar is consistently shorter than a solar year by about 10 days every year, and therefore it shifts with respect to the Gregorian calendar.  ^[1]
