New Year Celebrations – Beware!
Allah Ta’ala says: “For you is your religion and for me is mine.” (Kaafiroon)
Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) warned us of the following: “Whoever imitates a nation is from among them.” (Abu Dawood)
Regarding the crazy and un-Islamic New Year’s celebrations, the following should be noted:
- It is HARAAM to buy and sell fireworks
- It is HARAAM to use fireworks
- It is HARAAM to marvel and admire fireworks
- It is HARAAM to go out to spectate the usage and display of fireworks
- It is HARAAM to participate or use anything the KUFFAAR use to ‘celebrate’ New Year
- It is HARAAM to write ‘Happy New Year’ whether on one’s shop window or on social media
- It is HARAAM to say ‘Happy New Year’ even to KUFFAAR
- New Year’s countdown is un-Islamic, alien-to-Deen and HARAAM
- New Year celebrations come with wine, dine and swine as well as fireworks, Zina and dancing. Hence, MUSLIMS should NOT indulge in any New Year related celebration
- Even an Islamic New Year is NOT celebrated like how the KUFFAAR celebrate theirs, how then can MUSLIMS mimic the KUFFAAR?
It is mind-boggling to see how valuable money is turned into ash and pollution in the name of fireworks while hunger, poverty and unemployment are realities in every community of this country!
