There is no place to run away to from God! And there is no running away from Him! “ (Allah) sufficeth me: there is no God but He: On Him is my trust,- He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!”9:129
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي فِي جِوَارِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ فِي حِمَاكَ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَبَاحُ وَ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُخْفَرُ وَ احْفَظْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ اكْنُفْنِي بِرُكْنِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي عِزِّكَ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامُ وَ ارْحَمْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا رَحْمَانُ

For Allah (ever) watches over His Servants.” 40:44
There is no change nor any strength except by God – the Sublime, the Supreme.
What God wills happens.
I take refuge in God‟s Honor, the Glory of His Face, the portion of God‟s Knowledge kept of the Tablet, and what is veiled from the light of the Splendor of God.

Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in Iqbal al-A`mal, has mentioned these salats should be offered at this night:
First: A one hundred unit prayer with Surahs al-Fatihah and al-Tawhid recited once in each unit.
Second: A two unit prayer at the first of which Surahs al-Fatiha and al-An`am (No. 6) are recited and at the second unit Surahs al-Fatiha and Yasin (No. 36).
Third: A two unit prayer in each of which Surah al-Fatiha is recited once and Surah al-Tawhid is repeated eleven times.
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) is reported to have said that whoever offers this prayer at this night and observes fasting the next day, which is the first day in the new year, the new year will be wholly good for him, and he will be saved throughout the year, and if he dies, he will be allowed Paradise.
Hadith on Recommendation of Fasting on first Muharram
Rāyyan bin Shabeeb (the maternal uncle of Mo'tasim), says that I went to meet Imām Ali ar Rezā (a.s.) on the First day of the month of Muharram
Imām Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā (A.S.) asked:"“O son of Shabeeb! Are you in the state of fasting today”?
I (Rāyyan bin Shabeeb) replied in the negative. Imām (a.s.) continued,“This is the day when Prophet Zakariyyah (a.s.) prayed to his Lord thus:“Lord grant me from unto Thee a good offspring, Verily Thou art the Hearer of Prayers” (Surah al-Ali Imran, 3:38).
Then Allāh (s.w.t.) accepted his Prayers and commanded His Angels to go and give him glad tidings regarding the birth of his son Prophet Yahyā (a.s.). The Angels came and called out to him while he was engaged in Prayers in the niche. Hence the one who fasts on this day and asks for his desires from Allāh, his Prayer will be answered as was of Zakariyāh.”
[References: Nafasul Mahmum, Chapter 3, Section 2, Tradition 1]
Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned the merits of observing fasting during the whole month of Muharram adding that such a deed protects against committing any sin.
Take a Ghusl /bath,

Salaah for the New Month
Imam Ridha (peace be upon him) is reported to have said that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), on the first of Muharram, used to offer a two unit prayer. When he finished, he would raise his hands towards the heavens and repeat the following dua three times:

اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ٱلإِلٰهُ ٱلْقَدِيمُ

Our Lord, make not our hearts deviate after You have guided us aright,

وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ
wa hab lana min ladunka rahmatan innaka anta alwahhabu
and grant us mercy from You; surely, You are the most liberal Giver.

Third Muharram: On this day, Prophet Joseph was freed from his prison. Hence, if one observes fasting on this day, Almighty Allah will make easy any difficulty he may face and will relieve any trouble that may face him. According to a Hadith reported from the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), Almighty Allah will respond to the prayer of him who observes fasting on this day.

At the advent of Muharram,we beseech Imam Mahdi (ajtfs) to increase the size of our crucible and increase our ability to grieve and offer condolences,to Ahlulbayt(as) as commanded by Quran in 42:23.
"The ten days of Muharram is a time when a special sustenance is prepared and distributed. Whether we get any portion of it (or how much) depends on how closely we orbit around Imam Hussein(as). Let us beseech him to choose us for his service."-Sayed Mahdi Modarresi:

"Looking forward to Muharram because shedding tears of sorrow over the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (a) does something to your heart that just can’t be put into words. It’s something that you just have to experience for yourself to understand."-Shaikh Azhar Nasser:
