"By turning off the lights, you have committed to not violate what Allah prohibited," the message of the Muslim community as quoted alarabiya.net, Friday (30/12).
Appeal for Muslim communities inspired a book entitled "Pearls Sunnah in Time Travel" by Almir Dumica.
"At night, start by turning off the lights and let everyone see you boycotting everything that happened that night. Do not fear the emergence of mind because you have the right to vote,''wrote Dumica in his book.''Do not tell me how can i do it. was, I will be declared as a scapegoat but I would change anything. "
The Muslim community also commanded the Bosnian Muslims to make the turn of the year as the normal life cycle. Cycle that should be filled with more expressions of gratitude to Allah SWT for His blessings and grace. "Think about your health and your family, peace and security that you enjoy. As such, you will realize every night Allah's grace will be with your body and soul," the other posts.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an awful state with the largest Muslim population. Islam arrived in Bosnia Herzegovina after the country was becoming part of the Ottoman Turks. Today that number reached 1.8 million Bosnian Muslims.

Bosnia: Muslims urged to "boycott New Year"
The Islamic Community in Bosnia-Herzegovina has called on Muslims in that country to boycott the upcoming New Year celebrations.
By taking part, said the organization, they would "violate Allah's boundaries, and do something their master hates and despises".
The Islamic Community statement on Wednesday quoted from a book by Almir Dumica, entitled, "Pearls of the Sunnah in the Mosaic of Time":
"On that night, turn off the lights early and let everyone see you're boycotting everything happening on that night. Do not fear anyone's objections. Don't you have a right to choose? Do not say, 'how can I do that, I will change nothing, most people do it... I will be declared a black sheep'."
New Year's Eve Un-Islamic- Fatwa Against Celebrations In Bosnia
There's always some Muslim group taking the fun out of something somewhere in the world. In this case it's Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Muslim leaders have decided that New Year's Eve is un-Islamic and therefore no-one should celebrate. In fact, not only should they not party they should
“turn off the lights early and let everyone see you’re boycotting everything happening on that night”
According to a statement by the the Islamic Community, since Muslims already celebrated the Islamic New Year (when Mohammed schlepped from Mecca to Medina) on November 25, they would be violating "...God’s boundaries, and do something their master hates and despises” if they were to celebrate New Years like most everyone else around the world. Okay, so I'm in bed before midnight, but that's because I'd rather stay at home not because anyone has told me it's not kosher.
Quoting from a book by someone you can't even find on google (Almir Dumica, “Pearls of the Sunnah in the Mosaic of Time”), at least in English, they said in a statement,
Before the Bosnian War, during the mid 1990s, the Muslim population was primarily secular. That unfortunately changed when foreign fighters came to fight alongside the Muslim Bosniaks. Now this is what they have to deal with.
“On that night, turn off the lights early and let everyone see you’re boycotting everything happening on that night. Do not fear anyone's objections. Don’t you have a right to choose? Do not say, ‘how can I do that, I will change nothing, most people do it. I will be declared a black sheep’,” Dumica writes in the book.
“On that night go to bed on time, happy and satisfied that the Allah gave you many benefits that you do not consider often, and which you would become aware of only if you lost them,” the Islamic Community said in its release. “Think about your health and family ... the peace and security you enjoy.
Then, each night of the year will be much more dear to you than the New Year’s night is to any of those who eagerly await it all year, while a blessed feeling of triumph will overcome your soul and body, because piousness and reason will have won over passions and ugly customs.”
Bosnian Muslim group tells followers to boycott new year’s eve
The Islamic Community in Bosnia-Herzegovina has called on Muslims in the country not just to boycott the upcoming New Year eve celebrations, but to “turn off the lights early and let everyone see you’re boycotting everything happening on that night” it said in a statement released on Wednesday.
By taking part in the celebration, Muslims would “violate God’s boundaries, and do something their master hates and despises” said the organization.
The group’s statement cited quotes from a book by Almir Dumica, “Pearls of the Sunnah in the Mosaic of Time”, in support of their position.
“On that night, turn off the lights early and let everyone see you’re boycotting everything happening on that night. Do not fear anyone's objections. Don’t you have a right to choose? Do not say, ‘how can I do that, I will change nothing, most people do it. I will be declared a black sheep’,” Dumica writes in the book.
“On that night go to bed on time, happy and satisfied that the Allah gave you many benefits that you do not consider often, and which you would become aware of only if you lost them,” the Islamic Community said in its release.
“Think about your health and family ... the peace and security you enjoy. Then, each night of the year will be much more dear to you than the New Year’s night is to any of those who eagerly await it all year, while a blessed feeling of triumph will overcome your soul and body, because piousness and reason will have won over passions and ugly customs,” the statement concludes.
The Islamic new year, which is when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Madinah on Muharram first, was celebrated this year on November 25.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Slavic population underwent a large-scale conversion to Islam after the region’s occupation by the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the 15th century, giving it a distinctive role within the Balkan region. Muslims are about 1.8 million, or roughly 8 percent of the total previous Yugoslavian population. They constitute the majority ethno religious group in the state according to Cole, John and Sam Beck in their book “Ethnicity and Nationality in Eastern Europe”.
