Dua for welcoming Ramadan (when sighting the crescent moon)
Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِ لْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلاَمَةِ وَالإِسْلاَمِ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ
Transliteration: Allahumma ahillahu alaina bil-yumn wal-imaan was-salamati wal-islaami, rabbi wa rabbuka Allah
Translation: "O Allah, bring it over us with blessing and faith, and security and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah."
This dua was recited by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when seeing the new moon, and it can be used to welcome the start of Ramadan.

Transliteration: Allahumma inni nawaytu an asuma Ramadan kamilan lillahi ta'ala bi-imaanin wa ihtisaban, Allahumma taqabbalhu minni waj'al zunubi maghfuratan wa sawma muqabbalan
Translation: "O Allah, I intend to fast the entire Ramadan for You in faith and in anticipation. O Allah, accept it from me and make my sins forgiven and my fast acceptable."
