Muharram Safar Rabi’ul Awwal Rabi’ul Akhir Jamadil Awwal Jamadil Akhir Rajab Sya’ban Ramadhan Syawwal Dzulqaidah Dzulhijjah
The 7th month of the Islamic calendar. The word ‘Rajab’ means to ‘respect’. The Arabs respected this month tremendously and it was named Rajab. In this month, it is prohibited to fight (war), and the door of Ka'bah is open. Sya’ban means to split. It is named so because during the month, the Arabs would migrate to other places in search of water up to the caves and the likes. Another opinion stated that the month is named such as a mark of separation between the months of Rajab and Ramadhan.
