Jumada II (Arabic: جُمَادَى ٱلثَّانِيَة, romanized: Jumādā th-Thāniya, lit. 'Jumada the Second', more commonly called جُمَادَى ٱلْآخِرَة, Jumādā l-ʾĀkhira, lit. 'Jumada the Last') is the sixth month of the Islamic calendar. The word jamād (جماد), from which the name of the month is derived, is used to denote dry, parched land, a land devoid of rain. Jumādā (جمادى) may also be related to a verb meaning 'to freeze', and another account relates that water would freeze in pre-Islamic Arabia during this time of year.
