At first, we will see the following three narrations -
- Our beloved Allah's Messenger Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) issued a stern warning: "Whoever imitates a nation is one of them!"
- Abu Da'oud's Sunan
- "Narrated by Anas bin malik (rd) when Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) came (to madina), they have two days for festival. He (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) asked what is the significance of these two days. They said - during the time of jahiliyya we celebrated on these two days (Nowruz & Mehregan). Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said - Allah has given you better than these- Eid ul Fitr & Eid ul Adha"
- Abu Da'oud's Sunan
- Narrated from 'Abdullaah bin 'Amr (rd) who said, "Whoever resides in the land of A'ajm [Non-arab (here, it meant non-muslims)] and enjoys/joins their (kuffar's) Nowruz (new year festival/1st day of spring), or Mehregan (harvest festival/1st day of Autumn) (neeruujhahum wa mihirjaanahum); and imitates them, (even) he(/she) remains (indulged in) similar (activities) till death; (then) on the resurrection ('Qiyaamah) day, his(/her) judgement ('Hashr) will be with them (non-muslims)."
[Bayha'qee; according to the verification of Sk Mu'hammad Ibraaheem its Sanad (chain) is Saheeh]
- Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "I am disavowed from every Muslim who resides amongst the backs of the polytheists (Mushrikin). Their fires should not be seen." - Abu dawood's Sunan
