اللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ، وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ، رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ
O Allah, let it appear over us with security and faith, safety and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah.
Allahumma ahillahu 'alayna bil-yumni wal-iman, was-salāmati wal-islām, Rabbī wa Rabbukallāh

How to Read

Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a comprehensive request for the blessings of the new month. It asks for Yemen (good fortune and prosperity), Iman (faith), Salamah (well-being and safety), and Islam (submission to Allah). It acknowledges Allah as the Lord of both the moon and ourselves, reinforcing Tawhid (Oneness of Allah). While not directly about protection from the evil eye, seeking Allah's blessings and protection at the start of each month is a way of fortifying oneself against all potential harm.
