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)

But this does not mean that all functions in the wonders of the world only because of God that makes the magic firsthand (though God is able to do it all), but sometimes it is people who make things like that to be considered a miracle of Islam with the goal-specific purpose, often misleading the Muslim faith itself. Why? Try to write the phrase "Miracle of Islam" or " Miracle of God " in any search engines, you will definitely find a lot of the themes that discuss issues that include pictures, photos, videos. You can also go to youtube and write and look for the theme. There you will find a lot of videos about the Miracle of Islam and Miracle of Allah. 'As a Muslim, you try to think and observe the stuff, whether it is an engineering marvel or a human. Through this short post I just wanted to share information about t...

Concept of God (Part II)

Dr. Zakir Abdul-Karim Naik - President, IRF ( http://irf.net ) Unity of God Some polytheists argue by saying that the existence of more than one God is not illogical. Let us point out to them that if there were more than one God, they would dispute with one another, each god trying to fulfill his will against the will of the other gods. This can be seen in the mythology of the polytheistic and pantheistic religions. If a ‘God’ is defeated or unable to defeat the others, he is surely not the one true God. Also popular among polytheistic religions is the idea of many Gods, each having different responsibilities. Each one would be responsible for a part of man’s existence e.g. a Sun-God, a Rain-God, etc. This indicates that one ‘God’ is incompetent of certain acts and moreover he is also ignorant of the other Gods’ powers , duties, functions and responsibilities. There cannot be an ignorant and incapable God. If there were more than one God it would surely lead to co...
