Well, it happends that everyone has alot of fireworks, everywhere is fireworks, so it's really nice and beautiful biggrin So my family meet in my grandmom's house, and clebrate it there biggrin It's a excuse to meet, and to look at fireworks 3nodding But in muslim countries they don't do it, so it's pointless celebrating it there wink

But x-mas is christian, so i don't celebrate razz

Just because people in a christian country does it, it dossen't mean it's haram. Cuz it has nothing to do with religion.

Lots of people wish me a merry christmas, and i just wish them back, because I believe we should respect other people's religion. If they are nice to us, we should be nice to them back, no? But I don't celebrate it, that would be haram. So I think what you did was really great biggrin

Regarding the new years, I don't see any problem in celebrating it as long as you adhere to Islamic principles. Even if we celebrate Maal Hijrah with haram things, it would be haram, right?

I, for one, don't actually celebrate new years. But that's just me 4laugh

Its haram because Muslim new year starts with Muharam, and you should not laugh and party and be all happy and celebrate stuff.

I know... but they did it anyway..
There is so much that American Muslims do that is haram.. like some time you walk down the street and you see a girl in a black abaya with a belt accenting her waist.. it makes you think why wear the abaya if you're going to still show off your curves

I don't really see a point in why people celebrate it... but I guess you can say that I celebrate. I guess... like I said before all I do is bake..lol
