Happy New Hijri Year

At the end of dusk today, I bade farewell to the year 1432H. Almost missed the year-end prayers if not for being awaken just before Maghrib. Alhamdulillah.

So, a new year was born. Resolution?

Nah, I don't have any. I'd just take the prayers as my wish for the year. Overall, to be a better guy.

That's all for the hope. Maybe I'll conjure up some more during the Gregorian new year 2012.

Moreover, for obvious reasons, the Hijri new year just comes and passes by barely noticed. I myself, despite hoping for a wider signification of it, can't deny. It's the way the world works. I mean, any company ever starts its financial year on 1 Muharam? Do tell me if there is.

Yet the most important point is to change ourselves. We need an impetus to do anything uphill. A new year is an impetus. It gives you hope that it's another 1 January/Muharam, a brand-new, and it's on you to turn it into anything good. Better, the past, good or bad, has faded away too with the mutual optimism we share with people around us.

As a mediocre boy, I need this even more.
