ramadan 2013

This year 2013 - i intend to start Ramadan on 09-07/2013 based on moon  formation which according to what i have searched  so far advises that the start of a new moon is July 8 at 8:15am.

  i have accepted that based on a lunar calender and accepted that the start of day is being at night/sunet, then the first day is the 9th and i shall hope Gw to end fasting on july 7 based on the next new moon formation being 10:51pm on august 6 - which means for me that i will fast august 6 and august 7 and the evening of August 7 will be my last day of ramadan.

My Lord, i dont know if i can, or if i will. My intention is to try.

  upon us are the very long days which means that  dawn around 3 am and sunset around 10.30-11pm at night. 

 i dont know if i have the stamina to do it but try in thy name i will.

You my Lord are my strength. Give me courage to bear and withstand the pangs.. Give me good health and stamina.

this Ramadan my Lord, please inspire me to know you, to learn about you. Inspire me to worship you to continually glorify and exalt thy name and attributes.

help me to know you Oh Lord, to understand you help me to  be successful in this life and in the next.

Guide me oh lord and provide for me .

for all praise is yours, all authority Kingship and glory.

 in this life and in the next

there is no Other God but thee.

 Be thou Glorified My Lord.
