Template:Hijri month

Rabiʽ al-Thani (Arabic: رَبِيع ٱلثَّانِي, Rabīʿ ath-Thānī) also known as Rabiʽ al-Akhir (رَبِيع ٱلْآخِر, Rabīʿ al-ʾĀkhir), is the fourth month in the Islamic calendar.

In the Ottoman Empire days, the name of this month in Ottoman Turkish was Rèbi' ul-aher, with the Turkish abbreviation ,[1] or Reb.-ul-Akh. in western European languages.[2] In modern Turkish it is Rebiülahir or Rebiülsani.

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, Rabī' al-Thānī migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start and end dates for Rabī' al-Thānī are as follows (based on the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia[3]):
