The new moon of Ramadhan is special to Muslims. It announces the start of the holy month and the beginning of the blessings and mercy associated with Ramadhan. According to the Holy Prophet (s) whoever sees the new moon of Ramadhan should recite the following Du'a.*
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.
My Lord and your Lord is Allah,
Lord of the worlds
O Allah let the new moon bring us,
peace and faith
safety and submission
and a hastening towards what you like
and are pleased with.
O Allah bless us in this month of ours,
and give us of its good,
and its assistance
Keep us away from its harm,
and its evil,
its difficulties,
and its trials.
*This Du'a is highly beneficial, and may be read at the beginning of every lunar month.
