DON'T CELEBRATE PAGAN'S NEW YEAR
Both these men developed a calendar for their fellow believers, but whose Sunnah are Muslims following by celebrating New Year?
Pope Gregory or Umar bin al-khattab (Rady'Allahu Anhu)???
”New Years” The Festival Of Disbelievers Not Muslims.*
Allāh (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says in Qur'ān: والذين لا يشهدون الزور
“And those who do not witness falsehood..” • [al-Qur'ān 25:72]
Imam Mujāhid and other than him from the Salaf said that falsehood (Zoor) refers to the festivals of .
‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه said:
“Avoid the enemies of Allāh during their festivals.” and in one narration with addition “.. for the Wrath of Allāh descends upon them during it.”
[تاريخ الكبير للبخاري]
قال عبدالله بن عمرو رضي الله عنه : من مر ببلاد الاعاجم فصنع نيروزهم و مهرجانهم و تشبه بهم حتى يموت و هو كذلك حشر معهم يوم القيامة.
•‘Abdullāh b. ‘Amr رضي الله عنه said:
💠 “Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies while he is in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.”
[أخرجه البيهقي في الكبرى]
•Ibn Taymīyyāh رحمه الله said:
“Muslims should not celebrate any festival of the disbelievers.”
[مختصر اقتضها أسصراط المستقيم ١٧-١٨]
•Shaykh-ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
•“And whosoever inclines towards religious festivals of polythiests and of Jews and Christians then it is a *MUST* that the sanctity of Islamic 'Eīd will *DIMINISH* from his heart.”
[إقتضاء الصراط المستقيم ١/٤٨٣]
•Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) reported to have said:
•“He who imitates a people will be from among them (on the Day of Judgement).” [Abu Daawood]
•And in another narration, he (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said:
•“The one who imitates people other than us (i.e., in faith) is not from us. Do not imitate the Jews or the Christians.” [Tirmithi]
• Imaam Ahmad (Rahimahu'Allah) said:
•"The very least that this Hadeeth entails is the prohibition of imitating them (i.e., the Jews and the Christians); although it is also apparent that the Hadeeth labels the one who does so as a disbeliever (as Allah subhanahu wa taala Says what means):
•“O you who have believed! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”
[Quran C.5: A.51]
•Be proud of your religion, because it is the only ONE that is based on sound creed, just legislation and honourable manners.
•Do not be deceived by what many people do for they are unaware of the reality of Islam; resist these evil innovations which have conquered our communities by boycotting these celebrations and be as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) Says (what means):
•“Follow [O Mankind] what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies…” [Quran C.7: A.3]
•and do not be as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) Says (what means): “And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.” [Quran C.59: A.19]
•Rather follow everything from Islam by obeying Allah subhanahu wa taala and his messenger Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa Sallam) that will make you prosper in this life and the Hereafter.
