CELEBRATION OF NEW YEAR IN ISLAM

CELEBRATION OF NEW YEAR IN ISLAM

(1) FOR CELEBRATION THERE IS ONLY TWO OCCAISION IN ISLAM ONE IS EED UL FITR AND SECOND IS EED UZ ZUHA.

(2) WISHING TO SOME ONE IN HIS HAPPY MOMENTS IS PERMISSSIBLE TO SAY “MUBARAK HO “ OR “ALLAH BARKAT DE “ THERE IS A DUA FOR GROOM AND BRIDE “BLESS UPON BOTH OF YOU  FROM ALMIGHTY ALLAH, HE MAY BRING YOU TOGETHER WITH KHAIR .

TALKING IN LIGHT OF ABOVE GUIDE LINE IN ISLAM, THE NEW YEAR IS NO WHERE TO CELEBRATE OR TO WISH OTHERS. SO THERE IS NO AVIDENCE TO CELIBRATE NEW YEAR OR TO WISH IT.

A LAYMAN CAN UNDERSTAND THAT DAYS ARE COMING AND GOING THERE IS NO SPECILITY IN STARTING NEW YEAR, DAYS, WEEKS AND YEARS ARE ALL SIMPLE PARAMETRES TO COUNT TIME AND DAYS.

ON THE OTHER SIDE IF WE CONSIDER THERE WILL BE RESEMBLANCE WITH OTHERS. LIKE JEWS CELEBRATE THIS DAY AS RELIGIOUS DAY SO THAY CLOSE OFFICES AND SHOPS AT THAT DAY TO CELEBRATE. AND CRISTIAN FOLLOWED IT IN THE SAME WAY. THEY ADOPTED IT IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT  IS NOW UNDERSTOOD AS CELEBRATION OF CRISTIAN.

I AM VERY SORRY FOR THOSE MUSLIMS WHO ADOPTED IT TO CELEBRATE OR TO WISH OTHERS. THEY SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR BY TELEPHONE, SEND SMSES MAIL BY POST AND SOME OF THEM DANCE, GO IN CLUBS TO CELEBRATE IT.

YESTERDAY AND BEFORE THAT I SAW SOME CELEBRATION PICTURES IN NEWS PAPERS. I WAS SURPRISED THAT I SAW GIRLS JUST IN MINIMUM CLOTHES THEY WERE DANCING ON THE STAGE.

ISLAM PROHIBITS THAT STRICTLY. RASULULLAH SAWS SAYS THAT”ABDULLAH BIN ABBAS RD NARRATED THOSE WHO ACT LIKE OTHER NATIONS (RELIGIONS) IN THEIR PIRTICULAR ACTIONS OF RELIGION THEY ARE LIKE THEM.

SO REQUEST TO ALL MY MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND ALSO I APPEAL TO MY HINDU BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT WE MAY STOP THIS ACTION AND PROTECT OUR SOCIETY FROM INDULGING IN THIS SHAMEFULL MANNER. OUR NEW GENARATION HAS STARTED TO BE AFFECTED BY WESTERN EVILS. AND IT IS BAD FOR OUR BOTH SOCIETY. WE CANNOT LET THEM ALLOW TO BECOME FREE FROM ALL OUR VIRTUES WHICH CAME FROM OUR FORE FATHERS.
