Dhul-Qa‘dah is the eleventh month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is one of the four sacred months in Islam. During these sacred months, warfare is traditionally forbidden, emphasizing peace and reflection. The name “Dhul-Qa‘dah” means “the month of sitting,” referring to the time when Arab tribes would refrain from fighting and stay in their homes. It is also significant because it precedes Dhul-Hijjah, the month of Hajj (pilgrimage), and serves as a period of preparation for this important religious journey.
