muharram

Muharram Al-Haram...

is one of the 4 sacred months...

which has immense blessings, in which every day has it’s own special Tajjali [onthulling], especially Yaum Al-Ashura. The Awliya’s are granted their Wilayah [rechten, macht] in this month, opening their 6 realities and granted Maqam Ash-Shuhood (Station of Witnessing) which is the Head of The Hijrah by beginning with the practice of every Mu’min [believer] when the Moon of Muharram arises.

One must take a full shower (Ghusl) 

and pray 2 Rak’ah Sunnat’ul Ghusl for welcoming the New Hijri Year and the Holy Month of Muharram Al-Haram.

Then one reads the Dua of bidding farewell to the previous year Three times:

For the last day of the year, which is on Wednesday this year, one can pray 2 rakaat of Tawba [berouw] for the past year. This is the same as Tasbih [gebedsnoer] prayers, but instead of Tasbih, one recites Astaghfirullah [forgive me].

After finishing Tawba prayers, one may recite the dua for forgiveness as appears to him/her. Also make dua for Ashura Mubarak as well as fasting on the 9th & 10th of Muharram.

Then after Maghrib prayer on the same day...

recite the beginning-of-year du’a to welcome the New year

Bismillāhi ’r-Raħmāni ’r-Raħīm.

Wa sallahu alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa’alaa aalihii wa sahabihii wa sallam Allaahumma antal abadiyyul qadiimul awwal. Wa ‘alaa fadhlikal ‘azhiimi wa juudikal mu’awwal. Wa haa’dzaa ‘aamun jadiidun qad aqbal. Nas-alukal ‘ishmata fiihi mina’sh shaithaani wa auliyaaihi wajunuudihi wal ‘auna ‘alaa haadzihin nafsii ammaarati bissuui wal istighaala bimaa yuqarribunii ilaika zulfaaya dzal jalaali wal ikraam. Wa sallahu ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa’alaa aalihii wa sahabihi wa salam.

alla ahum' 

wa sali alaa 

muham-madin 

wa'ali muhammad

It is said that whoever reads this du’a 3 times, Allah will appoint two Angels to accompany that believer, protecting him from fitna from shaitan, in the coming year. Shaytan will give up and try next year.
