It is with profound joy and heartfelt reverence that I extend my warmest congratulations to the global Muslim Ummah, and most especially to our esteemed colleagues, friends, and family, on the blessed occasion of the New Islamic Hijri Year 1447 AH.
The commencement of a new Islamic year is a moment of spiritual reflection, renewal, and hope. It marks the Hijrah—the historic migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Makkah to Madinah—an event that signifies resilience, faith, and the unwavering pursuit of justice and truth in the face of adversity.
As we embrace this new year, may it be a time for personal growth, community upliftment, and increased devotion. May it also remind us of the values of unity, compassion, and perseverance that define our shared humanity.
I pray:
“O Allah, bring this year upon us with security, iman (faith), safety, Islam, protection from Shaytan (Satan), and Your eternal pleasure. Amin.”
May 1447 AH usher in abundant peace, prosperity, and divine guidance for all.
Warm regards,
