The Islamic month of Safar is the second month in the Islamic lunar calendar. It follows the month of Muharram and precedes Rabi' al-Awwal.
Safar (Arabic: صَفَر, romanized: Ṣafar), also spelt as Safer in Turkish, is the second month of the lunar Islamic calendar.
The Arabic word ṣafar means "travel, migration", corresponding to the per-Islamic Arabian time period when Muslims fled the oppression of Quraish in Mecca/Makkah and traveled (mostly barefooted) to Madinah.
