Jumada al-Thani 2025: Continue Good Deeds & Prepare for Rajab

Hanen Musa

Jumada al-Thani 2025 is expected from Nov 22 to Dec 20. Also known as Jumada al-Akhirah, this month encourages Muslims to continue good deeds and prepare for Rajab. Through consistent acts of Sadaqah and Zakat, you can bring warmth and relief to families worldwide with Muslim Hands USA. 

 

What Is Jumada al-Thani 2025 and When Does It Begin? 

Jumada al-Thani (also called Jumada al-Akhirah) is expected to begin on November 22 and end on December 20, 2025, depending on moon sighting. It marks the sixth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, falling between Jumada al-Awwal and Rajab. 

Its name comes from the Arabic root “jamad,” meaning “dry,” referring to the dry season in pre-Islamic Arabia. Yet spiritually, it’s a month of renewal, a time to let good deeds flow like rain after drought. 

 

Jumada al-Thani and Jumada al-Akhirah: Two Names, One Blessed Month 

Both names refer to the same month. “Thani” means second, while “Akhirah” means latter or last. Arab scholars and South Asian communities often use different terms, Jumada al-Thani, Jumada al-Akhirah, or Jamadi ul-Akhir, but the spiritual value remains unchanged. 

It is a period to continue acts of kindness, seek forgiveness, and prepare for the sacred month of Rajab that follows. 

 

Why Continuing Good Deeds Matters in Islam 

Islam encourages steadfastness in worship and charity.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 

“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small.” (Bukhari) 

This hadith reminds us that consistency in doing good is greater than sporadic effort. Whether it’s daily dhikr, helping someone in need, or giving Sadaqah, small deeds performed regularly keep the heart alive. 

Good deeds to practice this month: 

  • Give Sadaqah Jariyah toward a water well or orphan education. 
  • Share meals with neighbors or families facing hardship. 
  • Visit the sick or elderly. 
  • Recite Qur’an and make dua for the Ummah. 
  • Continue Zakat calculations and charitable pledges from past months. 

 

From Jumada al-Thani to Rajab: Prepare Your Heart for the Sacred Months 

As Rajab approaches, Muslims begin to soften their hearts through reflection and repentance. Jumada al-Thani is the bridge that connects daily routine to spiritual momentum. 

Now is the perfect time to refresh your intentions, seek forgiveness, and build a habit of giving. When Rajab arrives, your heart will already be ready for its sacred blessings. 

Voluntary Fasting During Jumada al-Thani 

While there are no obligatory fasts in Jumada al-Thani, Islam encourages voluntary fasting as a way to increase good deeds and spiritual discipline. 

The “White Days”, the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month, are known as Ayyam al-Bidh, or the days of full brightness. Fasting on these days is a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and carries immense reward. He said that fasting them is equivalent to fasting for a lifetime. 

In Jumada al-Thani 2025, the White Days are expected to fall on Monday, December 15, Tuesday, December 16, and Wednesday, December 17, according to the lunar calendar. However, the exact dates may shift slightly depending on moon sightings. 

In addition to the White Days, it is also Sunnah to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, as the Prophet ﷺ did regularly. These simple acts of devotion bring inner peace, strengthen patience, and make it easy to continue good deeds throughout the month.
