A mnemonic for Hijri months

(abridged from Takwim Hijrah on Wikipedia)

  1. Muharram al-Haram (dipendekkan kepada Muharram - محرّم)
  2. Safar (ﺻﻔﺮ)
  3. Rabiul Awal (ﺭﺑﻴﻊﺍﻷﻭﻝ)
  4. Rabiul Akhir (atau Rabiul thani) (ﺭﺑﻴﻊﺍﻷﺧﻴﺮ/ﺭﺑﻴﻊﺍﻟﺜﺎﻧﻲ)
  5. Jamadil Awal (ﺟﻤﺪﺍﻷﻭﻝ)
  6. Jamadil Akhir (atau Jamadil thani) (ﺟﻤﺪﺍﻷﺧﻴﺭ/ﺟﻤﺪﺍﻟﺜﺎﻧﻲ)
  7. Rejab (ﺭﺟﺐ)
  8. Syaaban (ﺷﻌﺒﻦ)
  9. Ramadhan (ﺭﻣﻀﻦ)
  10. Syawal (ﺷﻮﺍﻝ)
  11. Zulkaedah (ﺫﻭﺍﻟﻘﻌﺪﻩ)
  12. Zulhijjah (ﺫﻭﺍﻟﺤﺠﻪ)

I’ve never remembered them by hard, and in my trying to do so in the course of my work, I haven’t been able to find a mnemonic that can help me.

So I tried to create one:

  1. My
  2. Sister
  3. Rarely
  4. Reads
  5. Juvenile
  6. Junk.
  7. Recently
  8. She
  9. Read
  10. Some
  11. Zoology
  12. ‘Zine.

I hope that helps for those in the same boat as me.

Or, does anyone know a better way to remember the Hijri months? Do share :)
