In the Name Mubaarwak of MAMDUH AHLEY BAAIT SHAREEF SWALLALLAHU ‘ALAIHI WA SALLAM, we commence

 It is completely haram for the Muslims to do exhibitionism, act shamelessly, behave wild or get drunk in the name of celebrating 31^st night. According to Islamic views, it is harwaam and kufri to observe any sort of New Year’s Day.

If anyone donates even a single egg on the occasion of Nowroj or New Year’s Day, his A’amal (good deeds) of 50 years, if any, will become invalid. That means, due to Nowroj or celebrations of New Year’s Day, his life time A’amal will go in vein.”

In the Qur’an Shareef, it has been explained that, “Certainly to Allah Pak, the kaafirs are the worst among all the creations,”. (Sura Anfal-55). In fact, by celebrating new year’s day, one is following and imitating the kaafirs.

History of observing the 1^st of January is not related to the Islamic history rather it belongs to the kaafir. This is not a task for the Muslims. According to historical data, back in 46 B.C, it was Julius Ceaser who first introduced the practice of observing English New Year’s Day.

Generally, Persian Emperor Jamsheed introduced this culture of celebrating ‘Nowroj’ (new year’s day) some 800 years B.C. and as a continuation of that, Persia (Iran) still celebrates that day traditionally as a national festive day. It’s from Iran that this culture has spread out to certain Middle Eastern Muslim states and entered also in to the Indian sub-continent.

From the very beginning of the celebration of new year’s day, there was a feeling of religious sentiment in it or the observers of the new year’s day were doing so in the light of religious faiths or they used to believe that the new year’s day is a special religious festival. Even today, the ‘mojushi’ or the fire worshippers observe the New Year’s Day officially, in a very pompous and befitting manner. They consider it as a matter connected with religion and call it a Nowroj or New (Year’s) Day.

After the introduction of Gregorian calendar in the year of 1582, the 1^st of January was finally and permanently fixed up as a new year’s day. Gradually, it spread out beyond Europe and now being celebrated almost all over the world.  In Iran, new year’s day or Nowroj celebration starts on the last Wednesday of the previous year and the festival continues up to the 13th day of the next year.”

Again and again we have to remember Sayidul Mursaalin, Imamul Mursaalin, Noor-i-Mujassam, Habeebullah, Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam Dictates, “A person, who keeps relation with certain community, belongs to that community and his Hashr-Nashr (after life gathering and settlement) will also be done along with that commune”. (Sunane Ahmad, Sunane Abu Daud Shareef).

If anyone donates even a single egg on the occasion of Nowroj or New Year’s Day, his A’amal (good deeds) of 50 years, if any, will become invalid. That means, due to Nowroj or celebrations of New Year’s Day, his life time A’amal will go in vein.”

So celebrating  31^st December is Harwaam and sheer Kufri.
