THUL HIJJAH IS the twelfth and last month of the Hijri calendar.

It is one of the sacred months mentioned in the Qur'an (9:36).These months are specifically: Rajab (7),Thul Qi'dah (11),Thul-Hijjah (12), and Muharram (1). Such is the way of Allah in His creation. Of all places, He chose Makkah and preferred it over others.
