ahlan wa sahlan, ya 1434H

alhamdulillah, it's been another year in the islamic calendar hijrah. islam has its own year calculation there are also twelve months in the year of hijrah and the first month is muharram. years are counted since the Hijrah, which is when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Makkah to Madinah (approximately July 622 A.D.). if you are interested in learning more about hijrah, just click here. 

here are the prayers that we recite at the end and the beginning of hijrah. first we recite the dua on ending of hijrah a few minutes before maghrib. and after performing maghrib prayer, we recite the dua on early hijrah. i've got the translation from a blog called Towards Enlightment. may Allah Bless us all, insyaAllah...

Translation:

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful, And May the peace and blessing of Allah, be upon Our Master Muhammad (saw) and his family and companions. O Allah, whatever actions I have committed this past year which You have forbidden me from, which I have not repented from, and you have not been pleased with nor do you forget, while You are forbearing with me , though You are fully capable of punishing me, while You called me to repentance after my foolishness before You in committing sins – O Allah, I surely seek Your forgiveness for that, so forgive me ! O Allah, as for my actions that have pleased You in this year and for which reward has been promised, then I ask You O Allah! O Most Generous, O Owner of Majesty and Reverance, that You accept them from me. And do not dash my hopes in You. O Most Generous! And Allah, the Most Exalted, bless our Master Muhammad (saw) and his family and companions and grant them peace.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful And May the peace and blessing of Allah, be upon Our Master Muhammad (saw) and his family and companions. O Allah You are the everlasting, the eternal, the first! And our reliance is upon Your Great Grace and Generosity! And this new year has arrived, we ask Your protection in it from the shaytan and his allies and his armies! And we ask You for Your support against this soul which incites to evil and Your support in pre-occupying ourselves with that which draws us close to You! O Owner of Majesty and Reverance! And Allah, the Most Exalted, bless our Master Muhammad (saw) and his family and companions and grant them peace.
