Rabīʿ I (Rabīʿ al-Awwal, ربيع الأوّل) meaning "the first spring". Rabīʿ II (Rabīʿ ath-Thānī ربيع الثاني or Rabīʿ al-Ākhir ربيع الآخ ..................... ............ so on SEE Thus , sin…

Accepted Answer

The date does not contain information about the names of the months or days. To get that you need a formatter:

```
System.out.println(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM").format(hd));
```

prints `Safar`.
