[1] Muslims measure the passage of time using the Islamic (Hijrah) calendar. This calendar has twelve lunar months, the beginnings and endings of which are determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. Years are counted since the Hijrah, which is when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Madinah (approximately July 622 A.D.).

Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa untuk semua yang menjalankannya:). Jangan ada yang bolong yah..
Semoga kita bisa melaluinya dan menjadikan kita muttaqiin
beberapa malam lalu bulan mengada setengah hati
esoknya setengah hati kurang sedikit
tunggu saat bulan sawah jadi sabit, lalu padam
apakah ini tentang kepenuhan hati yang berkurang?
sesungguhnya tidak
seperti hati kita sering dibiarkan berdebu
bulan tetap dengan kepenuhan hatinya
kita biarkan hati kita berdebu
sehingga pudarkan cahaya hati bulan
selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa
