Jamadi-us-Sani - An eventful month of Islamic Calendar

Jamadi-us-Sani is the 6th month of Islamic Calendar. The month is known as the month of blessings. Hazrat Fatima-tuz-Zehra (A.S.), the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammed (SAW), and Syeda tun nisa'il alameen (mistress of the women of the world) was born on the 20th day of this month, in Mecca. Like her nature the month requires the followers of Islam to be compassionate and charitable during this month. This month of Jamadi-us-Sani prepares us for the auspicious months of Rajjab, Shaaban and Ramzaan-ul-Mubarak, for the prayers and blessings to be seeked from Allah. It is required that Muslims give charity, keep fasts, wear clean and new clothes, care for their relatives and the poor during this month.

However, the importance of Jamadi-us-Sani is more known as on its 1st day, the first revelations of the Holy Quraa'n was made on Prophet Muhammed (SAW) at the age of 40. It was after this event when he made public his prophecy and proclaimed himself as the messanger of Allah, and brought forth the religion of Islam for the people to adopt. The revelations of the Holy Quraa'n were revealed subsequently, on the Prophet by the angel Jibra'eel (A.S.), in parts known as the Suraa'h of Quraa'n. The Prophet would assimilate the verses in his heart and would subsequently convey the message it implied to his Sahabi's (followers). The great religion of Islam then spread first across the Arab kingdom and then the whole world. The Prophet faced a lot of trouble initially, and was even driven out of his birthplace Mecca and had to seek refuge in Medina, where he was warmly welcomed and Medina formed his base and launchpad for guiding the masses about Islam.
