The four seasons in Arabic are spring ar-rabi‘ (الرَّبِيع), summer as-sayf (الصَّيْف), autumn al-kharif (الخَرِيف) and winter ash-shita’ (الشِّتَاء). Winter and summer are mentioned together in Surah Quraysh, in the “journey of winter and summer” of the Quraysh traders (106:2). The word for season is fasl (فَصْل).
