Sighting the moon of Rajab

O Allah, cause it (i.e. the moon) to appear carrying for us security, faith,

safety, and Islam.

Your and my Lord is Allah, the Glorified and Majestic.

It has been also reported that when his eyes fell on the new moon of Rajab, the Holy Prophet (s) used to say the following:

O Allah, (please do) pour out Your blessings upon us in Rajab and Sha`ban.

make us reach Ramadhan,

and help us observe fasting,

do acts of worship,

suppress our tongues (from saying anything improper),

and cast down our eyes (against what is forbidden for us to look at).

Do not make our share of Ramadhan only hunger and thirst.
