Learn the 7 days and 12 months in Arabic — browse, quiz, or sort them in order!
Knowing the days of the week and months of the year in Arabic is essential for everyday conversation, planning, and understanding Islamic dates. This activity covers all 7 days and 12 months with quiz and sorting challenges.
Sunday (الأحد), Monday (الاثنين), Tuesday (الثلاثاء), Wednesday (الأربعاء), Thursday (الخميس), Friday (الجمعة), Saturday (السبت). The week begins on Sunday in most Arab countries.
Arabic uses two month systems: Western (Gregorian) months that vary slightly by region, and the Islamic Hijri lunar calendar with its own 12 months including رمضان (Ramadan).
The Islamic Hijri calendar is lunar. Key months include Ramadan (رمضان), Dhul-Hijjah (ذو الحجة) for Hajj, and Muharram (محرم) for the Islamic New Year.
Learn the days of the week as a chant or song. Notice that Arabic day names have number roots: الثلاثاء (Tuesday) = ثلاثة (3), الأربعاء (Wednesday) = أربعة (4), الخميس (Thursday) = خمسة (5).
