Islamic calendar |

Months |
Rabī’ al-Thānī (Arabic: ربيع الثاني, also transliterated Rabīʿ al-Ṯānī, IPA: [raˈbiːʕ æθˈθæːniː]) is the fourth month in the Islamic calendar. It is also known as Rabī` al-Ākhir (ربيع الآخر, also transliterated Rabīʿ al-ʾĀḫir/rabīʻ al-āḵir, IPA: [raˈbiːʕ ˈʔæːxɪr]).
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[1]):
AH | First day (CE / AD) | Last day (CE / AD) |
---|---|---|
1431 | 17 March 2010 | 14 April 2010 |
1432 | 6 March 2011 | 4 April 2011 |
1433 | 23 February 2012 | 23 March 2012 |
1434 | 11 February 2013 | 12 March 2013 |
1435 | 1 February 2014 | 1 March 2014 |
