CONGRATULATIONS ON SLAMIC NEW YEAR

CONGRATULATIONS ON
SLAMIC NEW YEAR

It has spread these days

through modern technology;

those advising people to seek

forgiveness and repent at the

end of the Islamic year while

congratulating them for the

start of the new year,

A. Allot this is an innovation This

is not the new year; this is only

terminology. It is not the new

year.

Every day your individual year

could complete; everyday, every

month and every week according

to when you were born

It is not regulated to the

month of Muharram. This

affair is only terminology.

Umar may Allah be pleased

with him took counsel with

the companions because the

workers from his offices would

come to him and not know

what (yearly) date to use.

Therefore, he took counsel

with the companions.

The calendar was

previously according to the

Christian calendar that was

already present but they

did not want to follow the

Jews and Christians.

Therefore, they came to

a consensus to make the

calendar according to the

migration of the Messenger

of Allah صلی الله علیه وسلم

because it was the greatest

event that occurred in Islam

thus they made it the beginning

of the Hijri year for the benefit

and need to do so, not to specify

the Hijri year with congratulations

or Dua; none of this has been

narrated (from the companions)

therefore this is an innovation.
