We say that the new year is a revered moment, a sacred time in Islam. People normally do not take off work or school, but at night there usually are programs in the mosques that many people attend. After prayers, the imams will talk about the significance of this month for all Muslims.
We believe that through discussion and respectful dialogue, this will turn people who have bad feelings about others into possible friends. People are the enemies of that which they do not know.
