UAE ushers in 2011

Burj Kalifa

Dubai

At the stroke of midnight, Dubai joined an exclusive club of world cities whose landmarks are iconic in bringing in the New Year ~Year 2011 Masihi


Dubai Sydney Harbour Bridge. The London Eye. Times Square in New York. The Burj Khalifa.

At the stroke of midnight, Dubai joined an exclusive club of world cities whose landmarks are iconic in bringing in the New Year.

As the clock ticked towards the first seconds of 2011, thousands of New Year revellers celebrated as the world's tallest building turned into a virtual column of colour and dazzle with a spectacular fireworks display

From Sharjah to Satwa, Nad Al Sheba to Naif, Al Wasl to Al Warqa, the inky blackness over Dubai was turned to a palette of glowing greens, silver and red during the fireworks.

Along the Abu Dhabi Corniche, thousands gathered too for fireworks, while along Dubai's seafront, the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis hotels battled it out in a dazzling display of pyrotechnic rivalry.

One year old

The Burj Khalifa turns one year old on Tuesday. Already, though, with last night's celebrations, the 828-metre spire brashly and brightly announced its advent as the place to be in the Middle East for bringing in the New Year and banishing the old.

In Sydney, Australians camped out near the Harbour Bridge and Opera House to ring in 2011. In Melbourne, fireworks were cancelled due to thunderstorms while across the continent, pyrotechnics were banned because of fire risks associated with tinderbox conditions.

In London, on the banks of the Thames, a crowd in excess of 200,000 was expected to gather to watch a fireworks display at the London Eye, also marking its 10th anniversary in the shadows of Big Ben as it chimed in 2011.

Under tight security, a million revellers were expected to watch the Waterford Crystal ball fall from a pole at Times Square in New York, which is still digging out from 50 centimetres of snow amid sub-zero temperatures.

In Dubai, though, the weather was a pleasant 15°C, warmed even further by wellwishers who dined and watched the entertainment around the Burj Khalifa. It's going to take a long time for Dubai's spire and spirits to be topped.

wa alaykkum assalaam wa rahmathullahi wa barakatuhu

something went terribly wrong with the way we interpret our deen.

an emirate governed by islaamic government (OOPS! sorry.. governed by muslims), celebrating New Year and being proud of it.

we can atleast avoid sharing these sort of information in tti, in sha Allah.

Assalmau allaicum wa raahmatullah wa barkatuhu

Astagfirullah!!!

Dear sister, as Muslims we should not share these kind of informations, neither to admire to it, niether to support it, because we do not celebrete new Year, niether it is from Allahs religion Islaam. You can hear all the time people blowing rockets,and making parties for New Year Astagfirullah,and we should be completaly against that. It is not strange to see everything that in non Muslim countries, but it is strange to see that Muslims are not folowing Islaam how it is,and are going against Allah and Allahs Messanger Mohammed sallahu alayha wa salam.

It is truth dear sister that Islaam is religion of peace, but that does not mean that we should support what is not from Islam and be happy or proud to see everything that.

Forgive me if I may say any word that has hurted you, but we need to be carefull what we are posting, even if it may be with good intentions.

May Allah bless you

wa alaykkum assalaam my sister in islaam,

by Allah, yes! you said the truth. Islaam is the religion of peace. but i wonder what burning crackers has to do with islaam or peace.

You might wanna read the pagan origin of new year celebration. Islaam has got nothing to do with it.

If we put a little thought in to it, this money could be used for our somal brothers or our brothers in other parts of africa or elsewhere in the dunya instead of polluting the environment. anyways. sister Asja said what need to be said. Jazak Allahu khyir for that sister.

kindly remember me in your du'a.

wa salaam.

I respect your decision and your point of views brothers and

just burning fire crackers
Nothing else!

It seems fun and everybody is happy to see
those beautiful colours sparkling on the
dark night skies
making beautiful colours!

A One World we share happily
and as long as we know
it nothing of sin.

assalaamu alaykkum wa rahmathullah

dear sister, with what will i begin???

arent from malaysia/singapore??? you must be aware of the festivals of polytheists from india. will you take part in that?? They also just burn crackers and share greeting. Will you then say there is no sin in that? naudhobillah.. probably your answer is no.

similarly the new year celebration dates back to pre-Jesus christ(peace be upon him). they are the celebration of pagans.

how can we say that there is no sin?! astagfirullah.

just burning crackers and nothing else?! even if our brothers in other part of the world is going through trouble?

what more offends us? our countries celebrating such festivals or we taking it lightly?!!!

may Allah reward your intentions dear sister, but we have to be little more aware of these sort of things. we have two beautiful Eids and prophets (peace be upon him) taught us how to celebrate it.

burning crackers and being extravagant in that?? i dont know whether we can be that way.

but if you continue to hold your opinion, its then upto you. I hope i didnt offend you and hope that you take it in the good sense in sha Allah.

please remember me in your du'a.

 

[ilyas_eh]

btw. i am not saying watching them is haraam/halaal. dont have any authority neither have i any knowledge about it.

but arab emirates celebrating and making them part of celebration, it doesnt just feel right. Its upto Allah to decide.
