In Jumada al-Ula of the year 8 of the Hijrah, the Muslim army of 3,000 men faced at Mu'tah, in present-day Jordan, a Byzantine force and its allies far superior in number. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had designated Zayd ibn Harithah as commander, then Ja'far ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn Rawahah in case of death.
The three commanders fell one after another on the field of honor, and the Muslims chose Khalid ibn al-Walid to lead the orderly retreat that saved the army. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) announced to the Medinans that very day the fate of the commanders, and named him “the unsheathed sword of Allah”.
Outside this historical event, Jumada al-Ula has no particular status: the general voluntary fasts (Monday and Thursday, white days) apply to it as in the other ordinary months of the Hijri year.
Jumada I 1449 counts 30 days according to the forecast calculation: its first day falls on 2 October 2027.
