Click map for larger.TOP: Photograph, by nascity, of part of a Sura of the Koran, the name of Allah clear in the center. nascity made everyone guess which Sura it was, dozens tried, eventually somebody guessed right. So everyone's invited to guess the Sura here, too.

hey man khair mubarak. as far as guessing the sura goes, there aren't that many letters in the image to be able to make a coherent guess.

and asking me to guess the sura because all i can read are single letters around the word Allah and that's about it.
i'm from a very small, orthodox community that doesn't follow the sighting of the moon the mark the beginning of ramadan, instead we just use a fixed scientific lunar calendar unlike every other islamic community.
Your blog is Owsome. This is very nice and informative blog. Ramadan Dua Day 26
