For Coco. The other months!

Hi everybody!
This entry is for everyone , but particularly for Coco, who is learning names of months in Arabic.
Tomorrow, Ramadan will start. It's the ninth month of the Islamic calendar which includes eleven other months. These months are as popular as the ones you are learning. So, I would like to introduce them to you.

Here they are:

Muharram:محرم .It means: "Forbidden"
Safar:صفر .It means: "whistling of the wind"
Rabi-Al-Awwal:ربيع الأول.It means: First month of spring
Rabi-Al-Thani:ربيع الثاني .It means:The second month of spring
Jumada-Al-Awwal:جمادى الأول .It means: The first month of summer. "Jumada" means dry.
Jumada-Al-Thani:جمادى الثاني .It means: Second month of summer
Rajab:رجب .It comes from the word Rajaba which means "to respect".
Shaban: شعبان .It means: Consecutively escalating. (Undisturbed increase). Derived from the word "shu'ba", which means branch. Centuries ago, the Arabs used to branch out during this month to look for water.
Ramadan: رمضان .It literally means "intense heat"
Shawwal: شوال .It means: Uplift/breakage, as before Islam, Arabs believed that any marriage held in Shawwal would always turn out to be unsuccessful (which is not true). It's taken from the word "shala" which means "when the female camel gets pregnant". When this name was given, the female camels used to get pregnant during this time of the year.
Zul-Qa'dah:ذو القعدة .It's taken from the word "qa'ada" which means to sit. that's because people used to stop their business activities during this month and sit and prepare for the Hajj (Pilgrimage).
Zul-Hijjah:ذو الحجة .It means:The month of "Hajj" (Pilgrimage)

I hope this information is interesting for you.
