Quote:The celebration and wishing of a happy new year stems from pagan traditions, so it is in fact a religious celebration. not of the christian religion, but of the pagan religion. <b>christians have adopted it as something they celebrate</b>, as with christmas and easter. So to join in the celebrations or wishing happy new year is to participate in a pagan holiday.

Errr ok right but regardless...Christians have adopted it as something they celebrate. Which goes back to what i've been saying. So, if we join in with something Christians have adopted as somethng they celebrate. Christians as we know them being those who say God is three Gods, and he has come down to earth made love and had a son. Do you think going by the verses i quote above from the Noble Qur'an, that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will be pleased with us if we join in with something...in your own words...<i>Christians have adopted as somethng they celebrate?</i> It doesn't matter the Pagan history of it is irrelevant, Pagan or not, who really cares about that. I just fear Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and reading how he feels about these people, i don't want to go near anything they are celebrating <b>personally.</b> The Kafir have adopted it, and celebrate it, so should we be joining in? Considering how Our Lord feels about it? Read the verses again and tell me Insha Allah. What i'm trying to say is, i don't see the relevance of informing me if it's Pagan or not, it doesnt matter, if it's something the Christians now celebrate, then we should not. This is what i was saying to Rock...New Year, Christmas, doesn't matter, the Kafir celebrate it. Would Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) be pleased with us if we joined in too?
