43- His Supplication when he Looked at the New Crescent Moon
ايها الخلق المطيع ، الدائب السريع ، المتردد في منازل التقدير ، المتصرف في فلك التدبير .امنت بمن نور بك الظلم ، و اوضح بك البهم ، و جعلك اية من ايات ملكه ، و علامة من علامات سلطانه ، و امتهنك بالزيادة و النقصان ، و الطلوع و الافول ، و الانارة و الكسوف ، في كل ذلك أنت له مطيع ، و الي ارادته سريع .سبحانه ما اعجب ما دبر في امرك ! و الطف ما صنع في شانك ! جعلك مفتاح شهر حادث لامر حادث .فأسال الله ربي و ربك ، و خالقي و خالقك ، و مقدري و مقدرك ، و مصوري و مصورك : أن يصلي علي محمد و آله ، و أن يجعلك هلال بركة لا تمحقها الايام ، و طهارة لا تدنسها الاثام .هلال امن من الافات ، و سلامة من السيئات ، هلال سعد لا نحس فيه ، و يمن لا نكد معه ، و يسر لا يمازجه عسر ، و خير لا يشوبه شر ، هلال امن و ايمان و نعمة و احسان و سلامة و اسلام .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعلنا من ارضي من طلع عليه ، و ازكي من نظر اليه ، و اسعد من تعبد لك فيه ، و وفقنا فيه للتوبة ، و اعصمنا فيه من الحوبة ، و احفظنا فيه من مباشرة معصيتك .و اوزعنا فيه شكر نعمتك ، و البسنا فيه جنن العافية ، و اتمم علينا باستكمال طاعتك فيه المنة ، إنك المنان الحميد ، و صلي الله علي محمد و آله الطيبين الطاهرين .

43 - His Supplication when he Looked at the New Crescent Moon O obedient creature , speedy and untiring , frequenter of the mansions of determination , moving about in the sphere of governance ! I have faith in Him who lights up darknesses through thee , illuminates jet-black shadows by thee , appointed thee one of the signs of His kingdom and one of the marks of His authority , and humbled thee through increase and decrease , rising and setting , illumination and eclipse . In all of this thou art obedient to Him , prompt toward His will . Glory be to Him ! How wonderful is what He has arranged in thy situation ! How subtle what He has made for thy task ! He has made thee the key to a new month for a new situation . So I ask God , my Lord and thy Lord , my Creator and thy Creator , my Determiner and thy Determiner , my Form-giver and thy Form-giver , that He bless Muhammad and his Household and appoint thee a crescent of blessings not effaced by days and of purity not defiled by sins ; a crescent of security from blights and of safety from evil deeds ; a crescent of auspiciousness containing no misfortune , of prosperity accompanied by no adversity , of ease not mixed with difficulty , of good unstained by evil ; a crescent of security and faith , favour and good-doing , safety and submission ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , place us among the most satisfied of those over whom the crescent has risen , the purest of those who have looked upon it , the most fortunate of those who have worshiped Thee under it ; give us the success during ( the new month ) to repent , preserve us within it from misdeeds , guard us therein from pursuing disobedience to Thee , allot to us within it thanksgiving for Thy favour , clothe us during it in the shields of well-being , and complete for us Thy kindness by perfecting therein obedience to Thee ! Surely Thou art All-kind , Praiseworthy . And bless Muhammad and his Household , the good , the pure
