What is your new year resolution?

[Salahudeen]

Here's my new year resolution:

To establish a good sleeping pattern.

To ignore annoying people.

I slept properly for 3 days at the same time every day, then last night I just lay in bed trying to sleep and consequently got up late

I'm sure Syed had no bad intentions behind this thread. He only started it to share each others resolutions, and perhaps this is a way of motivation too. He is not supporting the celebration either. I don't see what the big deal is, why everyone is making a big fuss. The topic is not 'to celebrate new year or not' instead it's about new year resolutions. If you have any, just mention it. If not don't.... Or if you have made resolutions on the Hijri new year, go ahead and share them. Nobody stopped you...... Now, stop making off-topic posts, and stick to the topic.

The common but unrealized mistake that committed by many people in the world is, they made promise "In the next year, I want to be a better person"

My question. If they wanted to be a better person, why did they wait until January 1 ? why didn't they make themselves become a better person since they said that promise ?

Some people use it as a method of beginning what they want to use/achieve. Sadly most fail by the time it's February! ^o)

As'Salaam Alaaykum

Personally, everyday is a day for one to improve, and not just some specific year or date to improve ourselves..We never know if will ever live till the following day. Wa'Allaahu Alam.

However, our main goal is for the ummah to unite at the moment, we need to focus on improving ourselves before we focus on others, but ofcourse to warn others if they are doing wrong to the best of our abilities inshaa'Allaah ..

Uhm, if you don't like new years, or the idea of Muslims using the gregorian calender, then get out of this thread. Does everything have to turn into an argument about following "kuffar" ways? Seriously, lets just stick to the topic and share new years resolutions.

There is no need to be rude, as muslims are we meant to be causing peace between one another or hate? Subhaan'Allaah, we should be careful in how we speak to others.

However, I remind myself before I remind others.

Do muslims imitate the kafirs' in regards to how they treat there parents, or how they are with there spouses or children or elders or what they eat/drink ?

So what if we are imitating them and making a resolution? who cares? do you see and negative outcomes of this? I can only see positives, that muslims among others are entering the new year with a positive attitude to bring some change in their lives.

Isn't there a hadeeth that states that 'One who imitates the kuffar is one of them'? So i believe we should care as muslms, those whom submit to the will of Allaah SWT.

.. peace ..
