Not sure about it but I think it is Islamic months. 

 

Awwal means Best/first in Urdu. Also, Hijjah could be the month of Hijra, the journey of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina.

Now it's all on you. Risk or leave the game.

You lose 93,000 points if you get it wrong, 250,000 if the advice you've been given was good.

@Wumo

It's all on you and 500,000 points. If you decided to go for it and got it wrong, we will subtract 218,000 points of what you have at the moment.

Take your time, here is your 500,000 points question.

I would have prefered this 500,000 question...

[Wumo 3,024]

I think even if I spend hundreds or thosound of minutes on this question I would never be able to come with a solid guess. I have no idea. Not even the slightest. 

 

Quasit, I came here with zero points. I'm really happy to get to this point in the quiz, but I will stop and keep the points I have for now.
