The sighting of the Ramadan moon is a moment of great joy and anticipation for Muslims worldwide.
When the Ramadan moon is sighted, Muslims are encouraged to recite a special dua to seek Allah’s blessings for the upcoming month. This dua is a beautiful way to express gratitude and hope for a month filled with peace, faith, and spiritual growth.
Dua for seeing Ramadan Moon
The dua to recite when seeing the Ramadan moon is mentioned in Jami’ at-Tirmidhi (Hadith 3451, Vol. 6, Book 45). It is a supplication that asks Allah to bless the new month with goodness, faith, safety, and Islam.
The dua is as follows:
اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلاَمَةِ وَالإِسْلاَمِ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ
Allāhumma ahlilhu `alainā bil-yumni wal-Īmān, was-salāmati wal-Islām, rabbī wa rabbuk Allāh.
O Allah, bring it over us with blessing and faith, and security and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah.
Why is this Dua Significant?
By reciting this dua, we ask Allah to bless the month of Ramadan with peace, faith, and safety. It is a way to start the month on a positive note, seeking Allah’s favor and guidance.
Ramadan is a special time for Muslims, as it is the month in which the Quran was revealed. It is a time for self-discipline, increased worship, and acts of charity. Reciting this dua at the beginning of Ramadan helps set the tone for the month, reminding us of our purpose and the blessings we hope to attain.
How Many Times Should You Recite This Dua?
- This dua should be recited once when you first see the Ramadan moon.
- If you are unsure about the sighting, you can repeat it after confirming the moon’s appearance.
As we prepare for Ramadan, let us remember the importance of starting the month with sincerity and devotion. This dua is a beautiful way to begin our journey through Ramadan, seeking Allah’s guidance and blessings every step of the way.
May this Ramadan bring peace, faith, and spiritual growth to all of us. Let us make the most of this blessed month by turning to Allah with open hearts and minds.
