3) It has been narrated that when the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) would see the new moon of Ramadhan, he would turn his face to the kiblah direction and say:

O Allah: (please do) cause this crescent to carry with it for us security and faith allahumma ahillhu `alayna bil-amni wal-’imani اللّهُمّ أَهِلّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإيمَانِ
And safety and Islam wal-ssalamati wal-islami وَالسّلامَةِ وَالإسْلامِ
And encompassing good health and repulsion of ailments, wal-`afiyati almujallati wa difa`i alasqami وَالعَافِيَةِ المُجَلّلَةِ وَدِفَاعِ الأَسْقَامِ
And assistance on praying, observing fasting, and doing acts of worship, wal-`awni `ala alssalati wal-ssiyami wal-qiyami وَالعَوْنِ عَلَى الصّلاةِ وَالصّيَامِ وَالقِيَامِ
And on reciting the Qur'an. wa tilawati alqur’ani وَتِلاوَةِ القُرْآنِ.
O Allah: (please do) keep us sound for the month of Ramadhan, allahumma sallimna lishahri ramadhana اللّهُمّ سَلّمْنَا لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ،
And accept our deeds during it, wa tasallamhu minna وَتَسَلّمْهُ مِنَّا،
And save us during it, wa sallimna fihi وَسَلّمْنَا فِيهِ
Until the month of Ramadhan will not elapse hatta yanqadhiya `anna shahru ramadhana حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ عَنَّا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ
Except that You have pardoned us, forgiven us, and had mercy upon us. wa qad `afawta `anna wa ghafarta lana wa rahimtana

وَقَدْ عَفَوْتَ عَنَّا وَغَفَرْتَ لَنَا وَرَحِمْتَنَا.

4) Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s) is also reported to have said: When you see the new moon of Ramadhan, you may say the following:

O Allah: the month of Ramadhan has commenced, allahumma qad hadhara shahru ramadhana اللّهُمّ قَدْ حَضَرَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ
And You have made obligatory upon us to observe fasting during it, wa qadi aftardhta `alayna siyamahu وَقَدِ افْتَرضْتَ عَلَيْنَا صِيَامَهُ،
And You revealed the Qur'an in it, wa anzalta fihi alqur’ana وَأَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ القُرْآنَ
As guidance for people and clear proofs of true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong). hudan lilnnasi wa bayyinatin mina alhuda wal-furqani

هُدَىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيّنَاتٍ مِنَ الهُدَى وَالفُرْقَانِ.

O Allah: (please) help us observe fasting in it, allahumma a`inna `ala siyamihi اللّهُمّ أَعِنَّا عَلَى صِيَامِهِ،
And accept it from us, wa taqabbalhu minna وَتَقَبّلْهُ مِنَّا،
And keep us safe during it, wa sallimna fihi وَسَلّمْنَا فِيهِ،
And help us observe it adequately, wa sallimna minhu وَسَلّمْنَا مِنْهُ،
And keep it sound for us with easiness and good health from You. wa sallimhu lana fi yusrin minka wa `afiyatin وَسَلّمْهُ لَنَا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَعَافِيَةٍ،
You verily have power over all things. innaka `ala kulli shay‘in qadirun إنّكَ عَلَى كُلّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ،
O the All-beneficent, O the All-merciful. ya rahmnu ya rahimu يَا رَحْمنُ يَا رَحِيمُ
