Wikipedia

  1. Safar

    Ṣafar (Arabic: صَفَر) also spelt as Safer in Turkish, is the second month of the lunar Islamic calendar. The Arabic word ṣafar means "travel, migration", corresponding to the pre-Islamic Arabian time period when muslims flee the oppression of Quraish in Mecca and travelled (most of the them barefooted)to Madina. Most of the Islamic months were named according to ancient Arabian weather conditions; however, since the calendar is lunar, the months shift by about 11 days every solar year, meaning that these conditions do not necessarily correspond to the name of the month.

In another context, it is also known as the second month in the Islamic (lunar) calendar, which is considered a sacred month in which warfare and fighting are traditionally forbidden.

However, these superstitions have largely been rejected in contemporary Islamic thought.
