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 THE 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 CLOSES 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 SAYS 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 BECOMING FREE FROM ALL OUR VIRTUES WHICH CAME FROM OUR FORE FATHERS.
WASSALAM

MASURBATION IN ISLAM

Masturbation in Islam


Allah (Exalted is He) says: “And those who guard their private parts from their wives and those (slave-girls) which their right-hands own - so there is no blame upon them. Then whoever seeks beyond that (which is lawful), they are the transgressors”.

Masturbation is also considered as “seeking beyond” with reference to the Quranic verse above.

Suhail son of Sai’d (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Holy Prophet (Allah’s’ Grace & Peace be upon him) said: Whoever gives me the assurance (not to unlawfully use) what is between their jaws and their legs (i.e. the tongue and the private parts), I give them the assurance of the Heaven. (Bukhari)

Abu Hurrairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet of Allah (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him) said: Whoever Allah protects, from the evil (sh’r) of what is between their jaws and between their legs, will enter Paradise. [Tirimzi]

Imam Shamsuddin Zahabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates a Prophetic narration that, “Seven people are such that Allah has cursed them and He will not even cast a look of mercy upon them on the Day of Judgment. Allah will tell them to enter Hell with the people who are going to Hell, except those who repent.
1. One who performs the act of sodomy.
2. One upon whom the act of sodomy is performed.
3. One who does bad deeds with animals.
4. One who marries his mother or sister.
5. One who masturbates.” (The words of the hadith says these seven people but lists five - Kitab-ul-Kaba’ir p.48)

Allama Mahmood Alussi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates in Ruh-ul-Ma’ni: “Atta (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I have heard that on the Day of Judgment one group will be brought in such a way that their hands will be pregnant. I think they are the masturbators.” Allama Alussi further says: SaĆ©ed bin Jubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him) said: “Allah Exalted will inflict punishment on a group of people because they misused their private parts.” (Ruh-ul-Ma'ni p. 291)

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet of Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The person who performs marriage [nikah] with his hands (i.e. masturbates) is cursed.” (Fatawa Razaviyya, Vol. 10, p.80)

Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him) said: “O group of youth! Whoever from among you can marry should do so because it keeps the gaze low and it protects the private parts. And he who cannot marry should fast because fasting breaks lust.” (Muslim – Book of Marriage)

It is written in “Durr-e-Mukhtar” (Vol. 2, Pp 109) (by Sheikh Alla’ud Din Muhammed son of Ali Haskiffi, died 1088H): ‘If there is fear of committing adultery then it is hoped that there is no punishment on the one doing this (masturbation)’. Allama (Syed Mohammed Amin Bin Abideen) Shammi, (may Allah’s mercy be upon him, died 1253H) has also argued on this quite a lot and decided that if he does this with the intention of saving himself from committing sin it will not be a sin and if he does it with the intention of enjoyment he will be a sinner.”

The Holy Prophet (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him) said, "No doubt the virtues wipe away the sins". Therefore a masturbator must repent sincerely with an intention that he will never commit it again and do good deeds. According to a Prophetic narration, "The one who repents is like the who does not have any sin."
