How Should a Muslim Spend the New Year? The Evils and Un-Islamic Practices of New Year Night

Описание: As the world welcomes the New Year with celebrations, parties, and fireworks, many Muslims find themselves asking an important question: How should a Muslim spend the New Year in a way that pleases Allah? This video provides clear Islamic guidance on how to approach the New Year with faith, wisdom, and purpose—without falling into un-Islamic practices or blindly following cultural trends.

Islam teaches us that time is one of the greatest blessings given to human beings. Every passing year is not merely a change in the calendar; it is a reminder that our life is moving forward and our time in this world is decreasing. Allah ﷻ swears by time in the Qur’an, saying: “By time, indeed mankind is in loss” (Surah Al-‘Asr). This powerful verse highlights that success is not in celebrations or worldly enjoyment, but in faith, righteous deeds, truth, and patience.

In this video, we discuss the Islamic perspective on the New Year, clarifying common misconceptions and addressing important questions such as:

Is celebrating the New Year allowed in Islam?

How did the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Sahaba (RA) value time?

What should be a Muslim’s mindset when a new year begins?

How can we turn the New Year into an opportunity for self-reformation (Islah)?


Many New Year celebrations involve actions that go against Islamic teachings, such as mixed gatherings, music, dancing, intoxication, wastage of wealth, neglect of prayers, and imitation of non-Islamic religious customs. Islam does not prevent happiness or joy, but it strictly guides us to express happiness within the boundaries set by Shariah. Blindly copying religious or cultural rituals of non-Muslims without understanding their origins is something Islam warns us against.

Rather than welcoming the New Year with sin or heedlessness, Islam encourages us to welcome it with reflection (Muhasaba). This is a time to look back at the past year and honestly evaluate our relationship with Allah, our prayers, our character, our dealings with others, and our efforts in fulfilling Islamic obligations. The New Year should remind us to ask ourselves: Have I become closer to Allah this year, or further away?

This video emphasizes that the New Year can be transformed into a turning point in our lives. Instead of countdown parties, Muslims can engage in meaningful actions such as:

Making sincere Tawbah (repentance) for past sins

Renewing intention (Niyyah) to live according to Islam

Making practical Islamic goals for the coming year

Increasing consistency in Salah, Qur’an recitation, and Dhikr

Improving character, honesty, patience, and humility

Strengthening family ties and fulfilling rights of others


We also discuss the importance of setting Islamic goals, not worldly resolutions that fade after a few weeks. True success lies in goals that bring us closer to Allah, such as praying on time, avoiding major sins, seeking beneficial knowledge, helping others, and becoming a source of goodness in society.

Another key point covered in this video is the concept of accountabilitygs peace to the heart and reward in the Hereafter.
