Praising Allah for the New Moon

SUMMARY: The Prophet of Allah praised Allah for the new moon and expressed his belief in Him.

Narrated Qatadah: When the Prophet of Allah saw the new moon, he said: "a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance. I believe in Him Who created you" three times. He would then say: "Praise be to Allah Who has made such and such a month to pass and has brought such and such a month".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about praising Allah for the new moon. The Prophet of Allah saw the new moon and said three times, “a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance. I believe in Him Who created you”. He then thanked Allah for bringing such a month to pass. This hadith teaches us that we should be grateful to God for all His blessings, including the passing of each month, as it brings us closer to Ramadan, Hajj, Eid al-Fitr etc., which are all important occasions in Islam.
