Muslims just don't celebrate. We have a legal way of life in Islam.
The basic principle for a Muslim is to follow (the Sunnah) and not introduce innovations. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to mankind): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah), Allaah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’

32. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): ‘Obey Allaah and the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).” But if they turn away, then Allaah does not like the disbelievers’”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:21, 32].

Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

This verse states that everyone who claims to love Allah but is not following the path of Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is lying in his claim unless he follows the path or religion of Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in all his words and deeds, as it is proven in al-Saheeh that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever introduces an action that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.”

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/32

Celebration and supplication is part of worship in Islam. Muslims should find out the days and times when supplications are answered according to the ways of the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) instead of basing our hope on the crossover of a day to another day which has no proven specialty attached. Beware of charlatan clerics putting up posters for special new year transition Tahajjud prayers! Ask them where the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) whom we follow with regards to acts of worship did such prayers!

Some Muslims do not even know the Islamic calendar not to talk of the date! It shouldn't be only the 9th month of Islam (called Ramadan) that we have to focus on.

We urge all Muslims to avoid innovations and imitations!
Say no to new year prayer/Tahajjud, celebration, greetings and food. We can take life decisions or change our life pattern anytime hence hinging such on the turn of a year has no specialty attached!

We urge all Muslims to train themselves and their families more on Aqeedah and may Allah Grant us understanding!

not permittable. its bid'ah

JAZAAKALLAH.

IMITATION OF CORRUPT CULTURES WILL ONLY CORRUPT YOUR CULTURE.

Those that will perform tahaajud tonight to Usher in the New year are not Muslims right but fake and pagans isn't it? When looking for the best example for confusion, Islam is the best word for this

This is a funny post of the year on Nairaland, you Muslims don't want to celebrate Christmas but you can perform tahaajud today 31st December, 2021 to welcome the New year 01/01/2022 should we Christians be telling you what first day of the year means and stand for?

nice one op, jazakhumllahu akhiran

NO! It is has simple as that! The Gregorian calendar is not allowed especially the celebration dates of it is not allowed to be used to practice such or similar Ibadat.

Wa Lahu Mustahab.

Isnt a true Muslim meant to pray every day?
So why should the last day of the year (aka cross-over) be excluded?

The grouse here seems to be that Cross-over prayers is a Christian phenomenon. But actually it's a human phenomenon.
Most people regardless of religion or creed simply pray into the new year. Whether there is a cross-over service or not.

Don't be blinded by the hatred for other religions.

Maybe

KingAzari:
I am not a facking Moslem

Or deh


Yet, you signed this

"I believe that there no god/God but Allah."
"I believe that Muhammad is God's Holy Prophet."
"I believe that Islam is the Only True Religion."
"lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, muhammadun rasūlu-llāh."

This is how most of you bring generational curses and problems to yourselves.

You lie, steal and take everything as a joke.

Go back and the post....this time slowly... as its obvious from this comment you either didnt read it or read it and decided to give your own interpretation

Jesus wasnt even born in the winter/December.

Christmas is very different from new year's. One is to celebrate Jesus amongst Christians or to celebrate relationships in the western world, the other is to usher a new year according to the solar calender. Muslims should not care about celebrating either holidays.

Lesbianism. Adutry. They even went far to be fool and believe in a picture of an actor claim to be Jesus....islam is the only religion orders are scam and they will soon realize that I promise you just give a time .....peace be upon you mumin allah

Tijani keep shemeing there self....not like those rubbish tajuding or what so ever ....islam has its own calendar....juma mubarak

Jazakallahu khairan

Islamic Alulamahi and Islamic scholars should educate us on this . Evidences from the holy Quran and Hadith is enough to solve the unnecessary controversy.

The Qur'an clearly states the Sun and the moon are for reckoning time.If he wish not to celebrate Gregorian calendar year as the year ends and another one commences is left to him.Ask him his age in lunar year since they are both twelve months respectively but with eleven days interval between the two.

Jazzakumullah khaira

I will pray tahajud tonight because I do that normally. Not because a new pagan year and month is to begin.

All this tajud of a thing is from tijani no real muslim that follow the msg of messenger of Allah will perform such thing ...they are doing the same thing performing syri for yahoo boys in yuroba land leading people astray but almighty Allah will shame them....juma mubark bali adama

Wonder why the non-muslims come on Islamic post to show their ignorance. They claim to have faith but in reality they are insecure, miserable and lost. Even the westerners they follow are leaving xtianity for Islam. May Allah guide them.

Bad niyyah is not acceptable to Allah. How can you intend to celebrate or commemorate the coming of a new pagan year in your niyyah?

Life is easy….Do whatever you like so far you don’t constitute nuisance to yourself (‘cos society still caters for people on self destruct) or to the society at large. Pray for 365 days if you like!
