In just a matter of hours, people all over the world will enter the new year 2024. Before entering the new year, it’s a good idea to say a New Year’s Eve prayer for blessings.
Apart from spending New Year’s Eve gathering with family, Islam teaches its followers to pray at various times, one of which is the 2024 New Year’s Eve prayer.
There are two prayers for the 2024 New Year’s Eve, namely the prayer read on the 31st December 2023 before 00.00 and the second prayer is a prayer read on January 1 2024 after 00.00.
Reading the 2024 New Year’s Eve prayer has the priority so that Muslims always receive protection, safety and health from Allah SWT throughout 2024. This prayer is a form of request that Allah will provide ease and smoothness for His people in living their days in 2024.
The following is a prayer reading for New Year’s Eve 2024 complete with Latin writing and its meaning.
Prayer Before New Year’s Eve 2024
“Allahumma ma’amiltu min ‘amalin fi hadzihis sanati ma nahaitani ‘anhu, wa lam atub minhu, wa hamalta fiha ‘alayya bi fadhlika ba’da qudratika ‘ala ‘uqubati, wa da’autani ilat taubati min ba’di jara’ati ‘ala ma’shiyatik. Fa inni astaghfiruka, faghfirli wa ma ‘amiltu fiha mimma tardha, wa wa’attani ‘alaihits tsawaba, fa’as’aluka an tataqabbala minni wa la taqtha’ raja’i minka ya karim.”
Meaning:
“O Allah, I ask forgiveness for my actions this year which You have forbidden – while I have not yet had time to repent, I have forgiven my actions because of Your mercy. While You are able to torture me, and the deeds (sin) that You command to repent of – while I attack them which means disobeying You.
Therefore I ask You for forgiveness. Forgive me. My Lord, I hope that You accept my actions that You are pleased with this year and my actions that are promised Your reward. Don’t destroy my hopes. O Most Gracious God.”
Prayer After New Year’s Eve 2024
“Bismillaahir-rahmaanir-rahiim. Wa shallallaahu ‘alaa sayyidinaa Muhammadin wa ‘alaa ‘aalihi wa shahbihii wa sallam. Allaahumma antal-abadiyyul-qadiimul-awwalu, wa ‘alaa fadhlikal-‘ azhimi wujuudikal-mu’awwali, wa haadza ‘aamun Jadidun qad aqbala ilaina nas’alukal ‘ishmata fiihi minasy-syaithaani wa auliyaa’ihi wa junuudihi wal’auna ‘alaa haadzihin-nafsil-ammaarati bis-suu’i wal-isytighaala bimaa yuqarribuni ilaika zulfa yaa dzal-jalaali wal-ikram yaa arhamar-raahimin, wa sallallaahu ‘alaa sayyidina Muhammadin nabiyyil ummiyyi wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihii wa sallam.”
Meaning:
“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May Allah continue to bestow mercy and greetings on our lord and ruler Muhammad and his family and friends.
Oh Allah What am I doing this year regarding something which You forbade me to do, then I have not repented, even though You did not approve of it, did not forget it and You were gentle with me after You had the power to torture me and You called me to repent after I committed disobedience to You.
So I really ask for forgiveness to You, forgive me! And whatever I have done from something that You have approved and You have promised me a reward for, then I ask You O Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Sublime and Noble, accept my offering and do not “You have dashed my hopes from You, O Most Gracious One! May Allah continue to bestow mercy and greetings on our lord Muhammad and his family and friends.”
This is the 2024 New Year’s Eve prayer reading before and after New Year’s Eve 2024.
