~ Masnoon Dua' for Sighting the Moon ~




Make an effort to sight the Ramadan moon
with full attention and eagerness
and say this prayer on sighting the moon:



Allahukbar!
Allahumma, ahillahu 'alaina
bil-amni wal-imani was-salamati
wal-Islami wat-taufiqi lima tuhibbu wa tardu.
Rabbuna wa rabbukallah.

Allah is the greatest !
O Allah ! Do make the appearance of this moon
a token of peace, faith, salvation and Islam for us.
Do make this moon arise as a favour to us
so that we may perform deeds
which conform to Thy Will and are dear to Thee.
(O Moon!)
Our Lord and thy Lord is Allah.





O Allah!
For us let this month of Ramadan be a period of peace,
faith safety and total submission to Thy will;
make us walk apace swiftly to that
which Thou likes and approves.

O Allah!
Pour out much blessings on us in this month,
make available for us its generous good and assistance,
and keep us safe from the harm, evil, misfortune and mischief
that may try to trap us in this month.

(Aameen)
