My children are desperate to stay up until midnight, but hubby and I will probably go to bed at our usual time (around 10 pm).
I appreciate the sense of reflection, fresh hope and new beginnings which the New Year brings - but by the end of the day (pun not intended ) it is just another ordinary day.
Every day brings fresh hope and new beginnings, so why make a big deal out of the turning of the year?
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker

Tomorrow I will have finished paying off my course fees so I'm happy about that. I'm not looking forward to the exams and job hunt.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
Nothing!! its already 1:30 AM here which mean that its already the new year here, on that time I was talking with my nephew and didn't pay attention to the so called "new year eve" instead I am doing some work on the computer.
Human should think of everyday as a new start not only the new year!
and about those who are doing Qyiaam!! From where they come up with such practice? Did the prophet prayed like that? whats wrong with those people?
Who care what others do? Why do people seem to have hizzy fit over it?
I like watching the firework that is it really. It is 21:38 in the UK. If I am awake, I would watch the firework on Telly.
Assalaamu`Alaaykum sis
Nobody is having a Hizzy fit over it sis, the new year thing hasnt got anything to do with Islaam as the Islamic year has already begun and the sistahs are explaining how things that arent "Islamic practices" are taking place today which is kinda classed as almost "Bidah" which is something we as muslims should take into account.
What about the Islaamic year, nobody could care less about when that begun.
Anyways this could go on for ever as its called generalising. I agree with sister Glo its just another "ordinary day" and in reality we are just getting closer to the day we shall return to our lord!
The things we should try do is something that benefits us such as memorising some Quraan, bettering our Salaah anything we feel we should improve that pleases our Lord SWT.
and no im not tryna sound harsh just about time we take some things seriously insha`Allaah. And may Allaah grant the Ummah strength to stay away from that which is harmful towards us and guide us to what which is best for us Ameen.
peace

This actually the first time I heard of any mosque doing this. And how do we know the mosque is even Sunni? And how do we know they are actually doing this not just a rumour? But that doesn’t shock me. Yes I am well aware of what Bidah is.
I simply don’t think we should even care about it. We don’t know what kind of Muslim run the Mosque, whether it is a mosque, whether the “mosque” is run by “Muslim” and whether it is true.
It like ground zero community centre where people assume it is a mosque run by Sunnis.
I do actually know a lot of Muslims who just have the habit of wishing each other happy new year but then not actually go out 'celebrating it' or even believe that it is actually a real new year since obviously our new year is Muharram 1 (which coincidentally was when I was born as well). I think it's more to do with custom now than actually believing it to be the 'new year'...

Well said! I am going to try and set myself some goals but once I've got my work out of the way (or when I'm on one of my many breaks) but just because I want to self improve really. I do this thing where I write out something I would love to achieve over the year insha Allah, and I put it away and much later, I take a look at it and see how I've got along in terms of getting closer towards that goal.
I was awake until midnight due to some personal works and when I went to bed, I could not sleep almost all the night due to sms' on my cell phone (my problem, I never switch my mobile off or put it silent)
When there is nothing left but Allah that is when you find out that Allah is all you need.
The beauty of not staying up on New Year's Eve is that you wake up refreshed and energetic the next morning, when everybody else is sleeping it off.
Now, should I go and set off some early morning fireworks in the street, I wonder?! To entertain the neighbours ...
Peace glo

It would be nice to live somewhere that this kind of stuff is frowned upon rather than accepted as the norm. I HATE HATE HATE new years eve! It's so difficult to sleep when your walls are rattling due to loud music from the two different neighbours you're sandwiched between! And there's not a single thing you can do about it (I know these neighbours, rough, nasty people that you can't really negotiate with). It's the one time of year people can get away with such loud noise, because the police pretty much told me over the phone that noise patrol are off and the police said they probably wouldn't be able to get anyone to check it out... which they didn't.
