Design/methodology/approach: The beginning of the year falls between the 21st or the 20th of March by adjusting the time of the Vernal Equinox (Spring Entry) at the point of Aries. The names of the moon and the day are derived from the attributes that relate to God, the philosophy of number 19 is derived from the number of letters in Lafadz Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
