Why do I Safar
Safar means "Journey" in Urdu and other languages from the Indian Subcontinent.
Safar (صفر) is also the second month in the Islamic calendar. Safar literally means ‘the void month’. The origin of this word is that when the pagan Arabs went on their looting expeditions they would leave their houses empty or ‘sifr’ meaning void.
