" A Muslim believes that your life is already destined. You are not fighting with nature. Allaah ('azza wa jal) has already ordained the exact time you will spend in Dunya. So, when the year passes by, the way you should see it as a Muslim is that I am one year closer to my death. I am getting closer to my grave.
So it doesn't make any sense for you whatsoever as a Muslim to bring a cake in front of you and blow the candles and you are smiling and so happy, when you are one year closer to your death. You should be making Muhasiba! You should be holding yourself accountable for that year.. not celebrating and taking photos in front of a cake! You should be viewing it with seriousness: I am one year closer to meet Allaah ('azza wa jal), what have I done? Did I prepare myself for it?
One of the statements of Umar R.A. was : "Hold yourself accountable before you will be hold accountable for what you did." "
