Dhu al-Qa'dah (Template:Lang-ar, Ḏū al-Qa ʿdah, IPA: [ðu‿l.qaʕ.dah]), also spelled Dhu al-Qi'dah or Zu al-Qa'dah, is the eleventh month in the Islamic calendar.
It could possibly mean "possessor or owner of the sitting and seating place" - the space occupied while sitting or the manner of the sitting, pose or posture.
It is one of the four sacred months in Islam during which warfare is prohibited, hence the name "Master of Truces".
In the Ottoman Empire times, the name in Ottoman Turkish was Zi'l-ka'dé,[1] abbreviation Za.[2] In modern Turkish it is Zilkade.
Transliteration
The most correct and most traditionally widespread transliteration of the month according to the thirteenth century Syrian jurist al-Nawawi is Dhu'l Qa'dah. Al-Nawawi also mentions that a smaller group of linguists allow the transliteration Dhu'l-Qi'dah, however.[3] In modern times, it is most commonly referred to as Dhu'l Qi'dah although this is neither linguistically nor historically the strongest position.
Timing
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the tropical year, Dhu'l-Qi'dah migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start and end dates for Dhu'l-Qi'dah, based on the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia, are:[4]
| AH | First day (CE/AD) | Last day (CE/AD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1439 | 14 July 2018 | 11 August 2018 |
| 1440 | 4 July 2019 | 1 August 2019 |
| 1441 | 22 June 2020 | 21 July 2020 |
| 1442 | 11 June 2021 | 10 July 2021 |
| 1443 | 31 May 2022 | 29 June 2022 |
| 1444 | 21 May 2023 | 18 June 2023 |
