No particular status and no specific worship is attached to Jumada al-Akhira in the Quran or the Sunnah. The lunar month has 29 or 30 days and passes like the other ordinary months of the Hijri year.
The historical sources report for this month occasional facts linked to the Companions: the biographers place in particular the death of Fatima az-Zahra, daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), in Jumada al-Akhira of the year 11 of the Hijrah, according to the most widespread opinion. These historical landmarks establish no particular worship for the month.
It is also in Jumada al-Akhira of the year 13 that the first caliph, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, died: the biographers place his death on the 8th of the month, after a caliphate of about two years and three months, and he was buried beside the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), on the spot that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, had given him.
Like every lunar month, Jumada al-Akhira lends itself to the general voluntary fasts recommended by the Sunnah: Monday and Thursday, or the white days of mid-month (the 13th, 14th and 15th).
Jumada II 1448 counts 29 days according to the forecast calculation: its first day falls on 12 November 2026.
