In Islam, there are only two holidays, namely the day of 'Eid ul-Fitr and' Eid al-Adha. The rest, nothing so as a Muslim, there is no interest whatsoever to celebrate the new year.

The most important thing for a Muslim is to pay attention to the time that never cease to be filled with deeds, including in the new year 2012. The whole man is in loss except for the faithful and do good works, encourage one another in righteousness and admonish one another in patience.

Quran Sura Al-Asr
Quran Sura Al-Asr
Quran Sura Al-Asr

By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (Quran Sura Al-Ashr)

In this sura, Allah explains that all human beings really are at a losses. These losses referred to in this ayat may be absolute, meaning a loss in the world and the Hereafter, not getting pleasure and is entitled to put in hell. It may be that he only suffered losses from one side only. Therefore, in this letter God generalize that the losses would be experienced by human beings except those who have four criterias in the sura.

So there is no relationship at all between the new year with the obligation to worship. Every Muslim should worship any time and anywhere because God has created man to worship and be a caliph in the earth

Sura Adz-Dzariat 56

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.(Quran Sura Adz-Dzariat : 56)

Without eyes, you could never imagine colors, forms, scenes, human faces, or what the word beauty means. But you do have eyes, and thanks to them, you can now read these printed words before you. Nor does the act of vision cost you very much effort. To see an object, all you have to do is to turn your gaze at it. Nor did you have to struggle to develop a pair of those wonderful instruments. At birth, your eyes came as standard equipment, with free installation and, unless you had a particular defect, in perfect working order. Since then, you’r...

Five Pillars of Islam

Photo credit: follow-islam.com Islam is the revelation of God , the religion of the prophets and apostles, guidelines for human life. Islam means submission. Subject to abide by the rules of God . Surrendered on sunnatullah . The entire universe has been Islam since the first. Well, have we Muslims? Why are they seeking a religion other than Islam, although the entire universe has been Islam since the first? Perhaps we are familiar with Newton's Laws. Newton's law is not law belongs to the Newton, but Newton discovered the Law of God . Because the apple before Newton was born it would fall down. So is it other than the religion of Allah they desire, while to Him have submitted (all) those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned? (QS.
