5th month of the Islamic calendar
Jumādā al-ʾŪlā is the fifth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, which follows the phases of the moon rather than the solar year. Because the Islamic calendar is shorter than the standard solar calendar, this month shifts earlier each year relative to the Gregorian calendar used in the Western world.

Jumada I (Arabic: جُمَادَى ٱلْأُولَى, romanized: Jumādā l-ʾŪlā, lit. 'Jumada the First') is the fifth month of the Islamic calendar. Jumada I spans 29 or 30 days. The origin of the month's name is theorized by some as coming from the word jamād (Arabic: جماد), meaning "arid, dry, or cold", denoting the dry and parched land and hence the dry months of the pre-Islamic Arabian calendar. Jumādā (Arabic: جُمَادَى) may also be related to a verb meaning "to freeze", and another account relates that water would freeze during this time of year. The secondary name Jumādā l-ʾŪlā may possibly mean "to take charge with, commend, entrust, commit or care during the arid or cold month". However, this explanation is rejected by some as Jumādā al-ʾŪlā is a lunar month that does not coincide with seasons as solar months do.
In Turkish, the name of the month is cemaziyelevvel (from Ottoman Turkish: جمادی الاول, romanized: cemaziyü'l-evvel); it was abbreviated as جا ca in Ottoman Turkish.
