By the counting of the NSCIA, today is 23rd of DhulHijjah, 1441AH. Consequently, we have just a week to the Islamic new calendar. The thread seeks to provide whether or not is permissible to offer congratulations at the beginning of the new Islamic year calendar?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on congratulating people on the occasion of the Hijri new year, and how should one reply to a person who offers congratulations?

He replied:

If someone offers you congratulations, then respond to him, but do not initiate such greetings. This is the correct view concerning this matter. So if a person says to you, for example, “Happy New Year”, then you can say, “May Allaah make it a good and blessed year for you.” But you should not initiate such a greeting, because I do not know of any report that the salaf [early generations of Islam] congratulated one another on the occasion of the new year, rather the salaf did not regard the first of Muharram as the first day of the new year until the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr said concerning offering congratulations on the occasion of the hijri new year:

Praying for another Muslim in general terms, in phrases that are not meant as a kind of ritual on special occasions such as Eid, is acceptable, especially if what is meant by this greeting is friendship and to show a friendly face to one’s fellow Muslim. Imaam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “I do not initiate the greeting but if someone greets me I return the greeting, because responding to the greeting is obligatory. But being the first to offer congratulations is neither Sunnah nor forbidden.

Assalamu alykum, Yaa Akhee fil-Islam.

There should be a mistake from either you the poster or the NSCIA regarding today's date of Dhulhijjah of 1441 A.H.

Eidul-Adha was celebrated on yaumul jum'ah that was 10th of Dhulhijjah then If you calculate the days that fall berween yaumu eidul-adha till date, today should be 24th of Dhulhijjaah not 23rd as you mentioned above.

Please, adjust because today may likely be the ultimate Yaumul jum'ah in this Islamic year calendar of 1441 A.H.

Jazaakallaahu khayrah.

I noticed Muslim kids don't know how to greet non Muslims like Good Morning, Good Evening etc. It is bad training....very stupid training. Teaching young kids how to hate at a very young age. Muhammad fvck up. No wonder many believed Muhammad was possessed by the evil spirit

This your generalisation is wrong. Some kids do it doesn't mean all Muslim kids do. Irrespective of religion, some parents train their kids badly. Your hate for ISLAM is glaring. But just like I do tell even my fellow Muslims, both religions were there before we were born and will keep being there after we die, whether we like it or not. LIVE AND LET'S LIVE.

@Lukgaf Jazakallahu khair. May Allah SWT reward you abundantly for the favour you once did to me. I still appreciate it till date. God bless you and your household.

It's true that both Christianity and Islam were around before we were born, but the fact is that there will be a diminishing returns on both of them as their gods Allah and Jehovah are currently held in a spiritual cage where the gods of science have captured them in, and they will remain there for about 996 years more.

Here is a little history of the start of Islam and how GLOBAL TERRORISM started

Common Era II 2: 1- 18

Chapter Two
1. Now these are some of the names of the people who upheld the religion of Mohammad from the sixth century of the common era to the tenth century;

2. Abu Bakr, Hasan, Umar, Abd Wahabi, Ali, Al-Khattab, Affan, Uthman, Aban, Al-As, Rukayya, Husain, Marwan, Abd Malik, Al-Walid, Sulaiman, Mohammad(son of Maslamah), Abd-Aziz, Abd-Talib, Maslamah, Muawiyah, Yazid, Ahnaf;

3. At-Tai, Al-Kadir
Abd-Rahman, Aisha, Utaik, Fadra, Qareeba, Kuhafah, Abu Jafar, Al-Faruk, Bishr, Ayyub, Al-Zubar, Zinba, Ammar, Bassit, Hisham, Ibrahim, Awf, As-Saffah, Al-Mansur, Al-Mahdi, Al-Hadi, Al-Rashid, Al-Amin, Nafir, Al-Muti, Aamir;

4. Al-Mustafi, Muhsin, Hilal, Manzur, Al-Wakidi, Jada, Yasir, Jarir, Mamun, Al-Mutasim, Al-Wathiq, Al-Mutawakkil, Ukba, Haheem, Mamar, Al-Muntasir, Al-Mutazz, Talha, Kathir, Kasim, Al-Muthana, Al-Khadim, Jafri, Al- Al-Muhtadi, Al-Mutamid, Ubaidhullah, Al-Muktafi, Al-Muktadir, Al-Qahir, Thabit, Ar-Radi, Al-Muttaki, Atham, Kawla, Jabla Abdi and many others.
5. All these people caused many wars and fought many battles, killing and oppressing millions of people who did not accept their religion.
6. This is the origin of religious terrorism. For many of these people were against formerly established authority, fighting to oppose every good law made in their territories.
7. They forced people to accept Islam and killed those who refused them.
8. They turned many into widows and widowers, destroyed property, raped little children and forced young girls into very early marriages, according to the deeds of Mohammad when he was alive.
9. Now the leader of the people named Uthman made himself strong. And he said, Umar was strong, but I am stronger.
10. Therefore let every iron submit to me, for I am here to bend every unbendable.
11. I will ignite the fire of violence upon the unbelievers ten times more than Mohammad and Umar put together.
12. Let the beasts of the jungle hear my voice and flee.
13. Now Uthman called Rukayya his wife and said, your father killed a thousand people for Allah, but I shall kill a million.
14. Now Uthman was very rich, because he was a merchant before becoming the leader of the people.
15. Now in the days of Uthman, the people of his land enjoyed more wealth than in the days of Abu Bakre and Umar, because he made sure more money was allocated to the people.
16. However, he put much more resources into warfare, fighting and killing the unbelievers in different lands.
17. Now when Uthman was the ruler of the people, the people of Makran rebelled, saying, we shall no more be under the rulership of Uthman.
18. Now when Uthman heard this saying, he sent armies to the land to destroy it. So Makran was subdued with great bloodshed.
