Safar. - is the second month in the Islamic calendar."Safar
literally means ‘the void month’. The origin of
this word has two theories: the first says that when the
pagan Arabs went on their looting expeditions they would
leave their houses empty or ‘sifr’ meaning void.
The second theory says that the word is derived form the
Arabic word for yellow called ‘sufr’: as when
it was first named it fell in the time of autumn, hence

time turned yellow. It is held to be the unluckiest month
of the calendar, as in this month Adam was turned out of
the Garden of Eden.
