Supplication upon sighting the crescent moon

"Allah is the Greatest! O Allah, bring it upon us with security and faith, with safety and Islam, and with success in what You love and are pleased with, our Lord. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah."

The closing phrase "Our Lord and your Lord is Allah" is addressed to the new moon itself: it too, like humankind, is a creation and servant of Allah.

[at-Tirmidhi 3451; ad-Darimi 1729; Sahih Mawarid az-Zam'an 2374; al-Kalim at-Tayyib 162]
