Safar (Arabic: صَفَر, romanized: Ṣafar), also spelt as Safer in Turkish,[1] is the second month of the lunar Islamic calendar.
Most of the Islamic months were named according to ancient Sabean/Sabaic weather conditions; however, since the calendar is lunar, the months shift by about 11 days every solar year, meaning that these conditions do not necessarily correspond to the name of the month.
