The following is the year-end prayer recommended by Rasulullah SAW. This year-end prayer is read 3 times before maghrib on the last day of the month of Dzulhijjah.

اَللَّهُمَّ مَا عَمِلْتُ مِنْ عَمَلٍ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مَا نَهَيْتَنِي عَنْهُ وَلَمْ أَتُبْ مِنْه وَحَلُمْتَ فِيْها عَلَيَّ بِفَضْلِكَ بَعْدَ قُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى عُقُوبَتِي وَدَعَوْتَنِي إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ جَرَاءَتِي عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ فَإِنِّي اسْتَغْفَرْتُكَ فَاغْفِرْلِي وَمَا عَمِلْتُ فِيْهَا مِمَّا تَرْضَى وَوَعَدْتَّنِي عَلَيْهِ الثّوَابَ فَأَسْئَلُكَ أَنْ تَتَقَبَّلَ مِنِّي وَلَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِ مِنْكَ يَا كَرِيْمُ

'' Allâhumma mâ ‘amiltu min ‘amalin fî hâdzihis sanati mâ nahaitanî ‘anhu, wa lam atub minhu, wa hamalta fîhâ ‘alayya bi fadhlika ba‘da qudratika ‘alâ ‘uqûbatî, wa da‘autanî ilat taubati min ba‘di jarâ’atî ‘alâ ma‘shiyatik. Fa innî astaghfiruka, faghfirlî wa mâ ‘amiltu fîhâ mimmâ tardhâ, wa wa‘attanî ‘alaihits tsawâba, fa’as’aluka an tataqabbala minnî wa lâ taqtha‘ rajâ’î minka yâ karîm''

It means, "My Lord, I ask for forgiveness for my actions this year which include You forbid it - while I haven't had the chance to repent, my actions that You tolerate because of Your mercy - while You are able to torture me, and the deeds (sins) that You command for temporary repentance. I jumped which means disobeying YOU.

اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَبَدِيُّ القَدِيمُ الأَوَّلُ وَعَلَى فَضْلِكَ العَظِيْمِ وَكَرِيْمِ جُوْدِكَ المُعَوَّلُ، وَهَذَا عَامٌ جَدِيْدٌ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ، أَسْأَلُكَ العِصْمَةَ فِيْهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَأَوْلِيَائِه، وَالعَوْنَ عَلَى هَذِهِ النَّفْسِ الأَمَّارَةِ بِالسُّوْءِ، وَالاِشْتِغَالَ بِمَا يُقَرِّبُنِيْ إِلَيْكَ زُلْفَى يَا ذَا الجَلَالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ

''Allâhumma antal abadiyyul qadîmul awwal. Wa ‘alâ fadhlikal ‘azhîmi wa karîmi jûdikal mu‘awwal. Hâdzâ ‘âmun jadîdun qad aqbal. As’alukal ‘ishmata fîhi minas syaithâni wa auliyâ’ih, wal ‘auna ‘alâ hâdzihin nafsil ammârati bis sû’I, wal isytighâla bimâ yuqarribunî ilaika zulfâ, yâ dzal jalâli wal ikrâm''

I take refuge in You from the seduction of Satan and his guardians this year. I also hope for Your help in overcoming the lust that often drives me to be evil. To You, I ask for guidance so that my daily activities will bring me closer to Your grace. O God the Owner of Greatness and Glory. "
