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.

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

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

The Message and The Messenger: Why Islam and Prophet Muhammad Are an Inseparable Package

To understand Islam is to understand a fundamental, indivisible bond: the relationship between the divine message and its final messenger.

They are not two distinct elements to be accepted individually; rather, they form a single, complete package. Accepting one inherently means accepting the other. This concept is not merely a matter of reverence for a historical figure. It is woven into the theological fabric of Islam, from its foundational declaration of faith to the daily practices of its followers worldwide. For a Muslim, believing in God (Allah) alone is incomplete without also believing in the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). This article explores the core reasons behind this inseparable connection. 1. The Gateway to Islam: The Shahada The very entry point into the Islamic faith is the declaration known as the Shahada. This testimony, the first of...

Fresh Water in Ocean Depth

One of the nature of the oceans that scientists recently found have been revealed in one verse of the Holy Quran (QS-Ar-Rahman: 19-20) as follows : He let the two seas flow, both the meet, (but) between them, there is a limit which can not be passed by each. Nature of this sea, namely meet each other, but not mixed with each other at all, just found by expert sea. Because the style of physics called "surface tension", waters in the sea close together will not be mixed. Because of the differences caused by the thickness of water, the voltage prevent the surface ocean are both mixed with each other, as if have thin walls in between them. Interestingly, in the period when people do not have any knowledge physics, surface tension or the ocean experts, this knowledge has been revealed in the Holy Quran.
