At the beginning of August, he learned about the collective heritage of the Arab Levant

Weather of Arabia - The month of August is considered the eighth month in the Gregorian Roman solar calendar (GREGORRIAN CALENDER), known in the Arab East as (August), and in the Arabian Gulf, Yemen, Egypt and Sudan they call it (August) from the Roman solar word (August) -, and in The Maghreb (Aout) comes from the French pronunciation (Aout). .

What does the word father mean?

The word Ab is of Babylonian origin and means (hostility) because of the intense heat, and the month was dedicated (to the gods of fire). It may be (Syriac) meaning “crops and seasons” or ripe fruits, and it is possible that the name comes from the Arabic word (ab), which means plant and pasture, as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in Surat Abs, verse 31, and the Almighty says: (And fruit and father).

Number of days in August

The number of days in the month of August is (31) days, and it is the fifth month of seven months that have (31) days. Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Emperor Octavius Augustus decided that Emperor July Caesar had given his name to the seventh Gregorian month (July) and that he made its days 31 days. Therefore, he ordered that the eighth Gregorian month be named after him (August) in imitation of his predecessor, and that one day be added. Until the month of August, which was originally 30 days, now 31 days at the expense of the month of February. Let the number of days in February decrease from (29) days to (28) days, after taking one day from it and adding it to the month of July, and taking another day from it and adding it to August. Thus, the months of July and August are the only two consecutive months in a single calendar year that have 31 days.
