The best is yet to come-Happy New Year

New Year can be a beautiful beginning that we should spend by loving everyone.

2018 is here. A beautiful way to welcome a New Year is by spending some time with our families, offering prayers, and thanking God for what He has provided us with. Some people celebrate New Year by going to the parties, doing fireworks, and drinking. But as an Ahmadi Muslim, I welcome New Year by praying to God that He may grant us goodness in this world as well as goodness in the world to come (2:202).

I begin my New Year with offering prayers and by fasting and thanking God for all He has provided. On this day I want to cleanse my heart and try to forgive people who hurt me during the past year. I want to forget about the negative things. I would seek apology from my parents and friends in case I ever hurt them.

New Year can be a beautiful beginning that we should spend by loving everyone. We should be happy and forgive people. We should love each other, care for others, and most importantly remember God.
