New Year's Day

Silvester" is what the New Year's Eve is called in Germany. It's named so because 31st December is the feast day of Saint Sylvester, a pope who lived in the fourth century. New Year celebrations in Germany is all about dancing, singing, drinking and getting merry. Celebrating New Year's Eve is a traditional event in Germany.

Many Germans prefer celebrating their New Year's Eve with their friends and loved ones. Playing games that are meant to foretell what the year has in store for everybody is also a part of the New Year in Germany. A popular practice that the Germans indulge in is dropping molten lead in to cold water and predicting the future according to the shape it takes in the cold water

As soon as the clock strikes 12'O clock, everybody is seen hugging and wishing each other Happy New Year. Splashing of champagne, burning fireworks and partying hard are the things Germans usually do to celebrate New Year's Eve in Germany. So, next time you go for Tours to Germany, try planning it when the New Year is approaching and have a gala time celebrating New Year with the Germans.

New Year's day itself doesn't have anything to do with Jesus. Jesus was Jewish and celebrated Jewish New Year (Rosh HaShanah) which occurs in September. But nearly every culture and country has a calendar that marks the changing of one year into another. And the calendar date of 2012/2013 does have something to do with the Christian religion, and so, tangentially, with Jesus. Christians marked time by when they believed Jesus was born, so they began to determine the calendar by BC (before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini-- in the year of our Lord). Thus, 2012 refers to 2012 years since the birth of Jesus (it should be noted that not many scholars believe he was really born in the year 0, but that is a different conversation).

While the Christian calendar has become commonly used by almost everyone, non-Christian religions use different terms to describe the calendar year -- for example, Jews use BCE (before the Common era-- the era commonly accepted by everyone, even if the world is much older than the birth of the Christian religion; since Jews do not believe Jesus was the Christ, Jews do not use BC. It should be noted that some scholars also prefer BCE, since they feel that time should not be marked by the beliefs of one religion or another). But even though the calendar we use may be Christian in origin, these days, the new year's celebration is generally secular, and all religions participate in it in whatever ways their culture encourages.

Praise be to Allaah.

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
