is the general, name of the four months which, among the Mohammedans, as well as among the ancient Arabians, were regarded as sacred. These months were Moharram, Resjele, Dulkadha, and Dulhaggia.

The institution of the sacred months is recognised in the Koran, and their careful observance enforced, except in the case of war against infidels.
