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.

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

The Struggles of Prophet Muhammad and His Companions in the Early Days of the Islamic Caliphate

The rise of Islam was not merely the establishment of a religion—it was the birth of a transformative movement that reshaped the spiritual, political, and social fabric of the world. At the center of this monumental change stood Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his devoted companions. The early years of Islam were marked by profound struggle, sacrifice, and perseverance, as they laid the foundation for what would later become the Islamic Caliphate. The Revelation and the Beginning of Opposition In 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) in the Cave of Hira near Mecca. At the time, Mecca was a center of trade, tribalism, and polytheism. The Prophet’s message of monotheism—worshiping one God—directly threatened the socio-economic and religious structure maintained by the Quraysh tribe, the ruling elite of Mecca. When the Prophet began to openly preach Islam, the opposition intensified. He called for justice, equal...

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. Islam, as a faith and way of life, cannot be separated from the man chosen by God to deliver it, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). 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...
