The Sacred Months in the Islamic Calendar
The Islamic calendar was established by the second Caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), in the year 638 CE (17 AH), dating from the blessed emigration (Hijrah) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Medina. Allah mentions in the Qur'an:
“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred.” — Surah At-Tawbah (9:36)
The Four Sacred Months (Al-Ashhur al-Hurum)
During these blessed months, righteous deeds carry multiplied reward, and transgressions are held in greater gravity:
- • Dhul-Qi'dah (11th Month): The month of preparation for the sacred Hajj pilgrimage.
- • Dhul-Hijjah (12th Month): The month of Hajj, Day of 'Arafah (9th), and Eid al-Adha (10th).
- • Muharram (1st Month): The Islamic New Year and the sacred Day of Ashura (10th).
- • Rajab (7th Month): The solitary sacred month, historically linked to the Isra' and Mi'raj.
Ayyam al-Beed (The White Days)
The 13th, 14th, and 15th of every lunar month are designated as “The White Days” because the moon shines at its fullest illumination.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “If you fast three days of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi 761). Fasting these three days is rewarded as fasting an entire lifetime!
