The New year Dua

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Hisham RA reports that the Sahabah RA would learn the following du’a for when the new month or new year would begin:

اللّهم أَدْخِلْهُ عَلينا بِالأمْنِ وَالإيمان، وَالسَّلامَةِ وَالإسْلام، وِجوارٍ مِّنَ الشَّيْطان، وَرِضْوَانٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمن

Allahumma adkhilhu ‘alayna bil amni wal iman, was salamati wal islam, wa jiwarim minash shaytan, wa ridwanim minar Rahman.

 “O Allah, bring this [month or year] upon us with security, iman, safety, Islam, protection from shaytan, and your pleasure.” (Mu’jamus Sahabah of Baghawi, & Al-Mu’jamul Awsat of Tabarani, Hadith: 6237)

This du’a is a general prayer for the arrival of the new year which we want to be filled with success, spiritual growth, and following the teachings of Islam.

Seyadul Istaghfar  سَيِّدُ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ 

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah SWT is:

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ‏.‏

إِذَا قَالَ حِينَ يُمْسِي فَمَاتَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ـ أَوْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ـ وَإِذَا قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ فَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ‏”‏‏

‘Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana `Abduka, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa Wa’dika mastata’tu abu’u Laka bi ni ‘matika wa abu’u Laka bidhanbi; faghfirli fa’innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba ill a ant a. A’uidhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu.’ If somebody recites this invocation during the night, and if he should die then, he will go to Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he recites it in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he will have the same fate.” 

“O Allah! You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshiped except You. You created me and I am your servant and I abide by your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in you from the evil, which I have committed. I acknowledge your favor upon me and I acknowledge my sins, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except you.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 6323)

Importance of time

وَٱلْعَصْرِ ١ >(I swear) by the Time,

An oath in which Allāh swears by time throughout the ages.

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ٢ <man is in a state of loss indeed,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ

except those who believed and did righteous deeds, and exhorted each other to follow truth, and exhorted each other to observe patience.

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ١

I swear by the night when it covers (the sun),

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢

and by the day when it unveils itself,

وَٱلْفَجْرِ ١ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ٢ وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ٣ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ٤

I swear by the dawn, and by Ten Nights,and by the even and the odd,and by the night when it moves away,

Young man, if you are able every morning and evening to remove any rancor from your heart towards anyone, do so.

Then, the Prophet said to me:

يَا بُنَيَّ وَذَلِكَ مِنْ سُنَّتِي وَمَنْ أَحْيَا سُنَّتِي فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَحَبَّنِي كَانَ مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّة

👉﷽www.London-Muslims.uk ✳️:

ما وسعني أرضي ولا سمائي، ووسعني قلب عبدي المؤمن…

“Neither My Earth nor My Heavens could contain Me, whilst the heart of My believing servant does contain Me…”

What’s the connection? Well, the hadeeth qudsee in question is actually the first hadeeth mentioned in that book. About it, Ibn Taymiyyah said:

This is something they (storytellers) narrate from the Israa’eeliyyaat (narrations of the Jews and Christians). It has no known chain to the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace). Its meaning would be (if it were authentic): His heart contains belief in Me, love of Me, and knowledge of Me.

Otherwise, anyone who would claim that Allaah Himself is present inside of the people’s hearts is more of a disbeliever than the Christians, who restricted that (Allaah’s actual presence within the creation) to the Messiah alone.

Other scholars of hadeeth, like al-‘Iraaqee, as-Sakhaawee, and Al-Albaanee, agreed that there is no known basis for it. See: Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth ad-Dha’eefah (#5103
