Dua Upon Seeing the New Moon (Hilal)

Recited at the start of every Islamic month on sighting the Hilal, per Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan and Sunan at-Tirmidhi.

اللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلاَمَةِ وَالإِسْلاَمِ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ

Allahumma ahillahu 'alayna bil-amni wal-iman, was-salamati wal-Islam, Rabbi wa Rabbukallah

O Allah, bring this new moon over us with security, faith, safety, and Islam. (O Moon!) My Lord and your Lord is Allah.

اے اللہ! اس نئے چاند کو ہم پر امن، ایمان، سلامتی اور اسلام کے ساتھ طلوع فرما۔ (اے چاند!) میرا اور تیرا رب اللہ ہے۔
