Ramadan

Prayer for seeing the crescent of Ramadan

Hassan Ibn Ali Kharaz said:" We went to Imam Reda (P.B.U.H.) on the last Friday of Shaban month." A few of his companion was with him. Imam (P.B.U.H.) said:" My adherents, today is the last day of Shaban month, whoever fasts today for its reward he would be forgiven." Mohammad Ibn Ismaeil said:" Oh the son of the messenger what's your opinion about the narrative which has prohibited to welcome of Ramadan month ( fasting before Ramadan) in order to fast one or two days before this month?" Imam (P.B.U.H.) said:" Oh the son of Ismaeil, Ramadan is one name of Allah's names and it is not said about this month that this month came, went or it has been welcomed because this month is the month of the Honoured and Glorified Allah and it is an explanation
(about the name of Allah) and depends on Him." Mohammed Ibn Ismail said:" Can anyone say that I fasted one or two days before Ramadan month ( as a welcome to Ramadan)?" Imam replied:" since welcoming ( fasting the day before first of Ramadan) would make sense for the perceivable existing object, then how does one "welcome " something that has not yet been created?" He said:" Oh the son of the messenger it is Ramadan month, although it was not created before entering that month it will certainly be created." Imam said:" Oh Mohammad if you are sure that it would be created then the first night of Ramadan is prolonged somewhat (it) is ended to the morning of the Resurrection day how can you be sure that it would be created? In this case, there would be no Ramadan month at all and people make the morning while they see neither the sun and nor day and nor mosques of God on earth, and this day, the Lord will take the Kaaba and the Holy Mosque in Mecca to the heaven, and that time the Quran will be forgotten and there will be no recitation of the Quran and praise to God among the people. And in that time, God has taken His argument from the earth to heaven and the earth will swallow the people of the earth to herself and mountain are moves and the seas are split and Ramadan aves are opened and the sun in the sky is wrapped and its stars are changed and broadcasted and the stars are scattered in the form of dust and on this day the event takes place and that day the sky is split and becomes unstable. Then said:" O my adherents when the crescent of Ramadan downed don' t point it with fingers but turn to the Qiblah (Mecca) raise your hands toward the sky and addressing the crescent moon and say:

Our Lord and you are the Lord of all the existence, oh God! Place the crescent of this moon full of blessing and keep us healthy in this month and make this month healthy and convenience and comfort for us and keep us busy in Your worship and obedience in this month indeed Allah has power over all things.

There is no servant who fulfills this action unless God includes among the ones whom His mercy had encompassed them and records him in the forgiven group. Hazrat Zahra (P.B.U.H.) has been chosen above the world's women read this prayer every year. When the crescent of the Ramadan downed, her light overcame the light of the moon and hid it until the prayer was completed. Then the crescent was seen.
