Today we bid farewell to the Hijri year 43 after 1400 with what has passed in it of good and righteous deeds that will not be lost with our Lord, the Exalted, and the tragedies that have passed in it - neither God has brought it back nor mentioned it to all of us - but we have to bid farewell to the past by thanking God Almighty first for having pardoned us and made us Muslims, we thank him for health and security, we thank him for honoring us with a rational leadership that loves and does good, and helps it, offering what it can of human dignity, and the global humanitarian concern it bears that aspires to happiness and prosperity for all, and the development and prosperity it is keen on for the homeland and the citizen, and we thank him for that We are made like a solid building in loyalty to God, His Messenger, the wise leadership, brotherhood and community cohesion, and we thank Him for His innumerable outward and inward blessings.

And while we are grateful to Him, Glory be to Him, we should be aware of our shortcomings in the past, as we did not make use of it in a way that satisfies our souls first.

Since we did not worship our Lord the right to worship Him, and we did not give much thanks to Him, Glory be to Him, by harnessing the blessings that God Almighty bestowed upon us for what you were created for, so that this feeling would motivate us to do more righteous deeds that would satisfy our Lord Almighty, for whatever we do, we fall short, and we feel that lest astonishment enter the heart of the one who sees that he has fulfilled the assumptions and avoided the forbidden, for this is not all that is desired from us, rather this is an obligation that requires thanking God Almighty for the success in his performance, and it is hoped from Him, Glory be to Him, to accept him, rather what is meant is to be with God Almighty in all our movements. And our dwellings as commanded by our Lord, Glory be to Him, by His saying {Say that my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death belong to God, the Lord of the worlds}, which is what is called perpetually observing the number of breaths, because there is no soul and a person has a right to it, but who does it?!

This fear leads us to make up for what we have fallen short in, and to avoid it in our new year 44 after the four hundred and one thousand that has befallen us. We intend that our new year will be better than the past, in which we prepare for the pleasure of our Lord and the goodness of our condition and our destiny. And ask forgiveness for your sin, and for the believing men and women.” And worshiping Him is the right of worship, as our Lord, the Exalted, said:

God Almighty will fulfill for us what we desire from His bounty in this world and in the hereafter, as He promised us by His saying {whoever works righteousness, male or female.

The renewal of years and years for us is the travel distances that we walk to the destination that God has ordained for us, from us that arrives near, and from us that are relatively far away, but it will inevitably reach {and that to your Lord is the end}. its count;

Because it is the abode of resurrection, so whoever supplies for the abode of resurrection will live in that abode a contented life, and he who neglects to provide for it, his loss will be infinite. Therefore, God Almighty commanded us to provide for this abode with good deeds as long as we enjoy life. There are two blessings which many people lose: health and free time.” The wise person is one who strives not to be from the many who are deprived, but from the little who is full of his life in what pleases his Lord.

We ask God Almighty long life and good work.
