What R U Doing For New Year Eve

[KeePtHeFaitH]

Assalamu aleikum,
KeepTheFaith,


I stumbled by your question and it disappeared again, maybe because I have no clear answer.


But let me anyway tell you how I think about this.


Celebrating New Year, whether it is in the Christian counting or the Islamic counting, is not something that should be celebrated, I have not been able to found a hadith that tell me I should. I ONLY know two occasions to celebrate and that is Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.


And for the question of wishing others a happy new year, well I have 'solved' it this way. All my non-muslim friends know I don't celebrate so no one wishes me anything, so we understand each other well. For other contacts I have, that are not aware of the Islamic teachings, and then occasionally someone wishes me that, and I thank them for their thought and at the same time tell them that the Islamic new year, even though not celebrated, is due to come insha'Allah. And they seem to be happy with this. They have delivered 'their message' and I have delivered 'mine'.


Wasalam

When somenon muslim come to and say, Happ New Year! I just answer simply, you too. Because, I dontw want make a badface of muslims or such so (this is my comments)... Look what I have loose when I say it?Nothing...


Allah swt , know my heart my intention...Allah swt know every1s situation, piece for piece we all will be judged. I dont think, someo1 who live in mecca and another one live 4example in oslo is same. We cant image how Allah swt will judge, we just try to find out. We only know Allah swt is AL ADL.


Maybe I look like i m in trouble with my words, its not important for me, I found the sources. What we know is like a drop in Ocaen.


I believe, Allah swt will show me anyday the way of as shaheeds. I say, Alhamdulillah I do know to say Alhamdulillah. I m thankfull to Allah swt I can make HAMD to Allah swt.


I dont celebrate new year but when some1 say I say back... There is more important thinks to change on me as this unimportant words...And I most care to rights of another1 on me. because, in judgemend day will we (you) pay with our good deeds or get bad deeds of anothers in our account. I m dont have much good deeds so i can give and i do have much bad deeds i cant take anothers bad deeds to myself.


wassalam.
