Dear All,

Assalamu'alaikum wr. wb.
Another Islamic/Hijri New Year is ensuing. In Malaysia it is on 10 Jan 2008.
Malaysian Government, TV/Radio, schools, Masjids etc. have taken a large
number of programs to celebrate the new year. Like the past years, hope the
King of the country and PM and his cabinet colleagues will say goodby to 1428
by saying the a duaa and first celebrate the Hijri 1429 with another duaa in
standing ovation at the National Masjid before the last Maghrib of the current
year 1428 and the one to be said during the first Maghrib of the New Year
1429, and then attend a huge gathering on the following day at the National
Stadium at Bukit Jalil. The King will offer some national awards. School kids
already received the printed Duas from their schools that should be recited
before the last Maghrib of the current year 1428 and the one to be said during
the first Maghrib of the New Year 1429.

Islamic Calendar is very important to any Muslims' life. Huge blessings we
receive and expect from Allah(swt) according to this rekoning (duing Ramadan,
Hajj, etc.). Many things we do, we need to do according to this calendar. Our
life, death and the Day of Ressurection are closely related to this lunar
scientific calendar. Unfortunately, we celebrate/welcome many days but not
much of Islamic New year which is closely related to the life and activities
of the Great Prophet Muhammad (saw).

Let's increase our attention to this Holy Calendar for our joint benefits.
WaAllahu 'alam.
I pray to Allah(swt) and wish you and your family a very happy and properous
New Year 1429.
