Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1448

Islamic Calendar > Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah

Dhul-Qi'dah (ذُو القَعْدة), “the one of sitting” (because fighting was suspended in it), is the eleventh month of the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months of the year.

On this page: the Dhul-Qi'dah 1448 calendar day by day, the dates for the coming years, and the history of this month.

One of the four sacred months

Dhul-Qi'dah, one of the 4 sacred months of the year

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said in his Farewell Sermon:

“The year has twelve months, of which four are sacred: Dhul-Qi'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, three consecutive months, and Rajab of Mudar, which comes between Jumada and Sha'ban.”

Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim

In these sacred months, fighting was forbidden and injustice aggravated. The Quran confirms this status in Surah at-Tawbah (9:36).

The Umrah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

The biographers place in Dhul-Qi'dah the Umrahs performed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), including the compensatory Umrah (al-Qada) in the year 7 of the Hijrah, following the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, then that of Dhul-Qi'dah of the year 8.

Hudaybiyah, the year 6

It is in Dhul-Qi'dah of the year 6 that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) left Medina to perform the Umrah, at the head of nearly 1,400 Companions, in pilgrim's garb. Prevented from entering Mecca, the Muslims concluded at Hudaybiyah a ten-year peace treaty with the Meccans, in exchange for the postponement of the Umrah to the following year.

Surah al-Fath, revealed on the return from this expedition, describes this agreement as “a manifest victory”: the peace made it possible to proclaim Islam in safety and adherence multiplied, until the peaceful conquest of Mecca two years later.
