Do you guys celebrate Noruz?

[abassinafghan]

You don't know who i am,our tribes do not obey any state any government,we are independent people,we don't follow any customs of persians,we do have a new year in spring,but it is not called nowruz and will be never called nowruz.

just relax a bit and go back where your roots come from and see what people really do and what they dont do ,

but i think some people of your " tribe " , decieded to leave , and i guess you are a law following person ...born some where which is not your "tribal homeland"

but you should visit your people and see what is really they point and be like a

sheep and a parrott....

it is not celebrated as such as it is done and recalled as nowruz.
I don't want to sound nationalist but you don't know what Paktya is,i just want to quote here U.S Military leaders
Quote:
Haqqani group is one of the fiercest and powerful fighting group carrying out brazen attacks across Afghanistan
Now imagine these socalled haqqani group are only a handful men,imagine around 700 000 fighting men from paktya,khost and paktika province.

I doubt a day could any world power could fight us with the help of Allah.

look i hope that you are a youngstar , even your comments are just nonsence we can understand the imaturity , which speaks out of you . ...

but if you are a grown ass man , then we have serious problems

you fiercly wild tribal warrior

[khwazun]

why are you talking about haqani in a nawroz thread??

^What I was thinking. Does anybody here follow what he's trying to say? How is the Haqqani Network relevant to who celebrates Nowruz (or any cultural equivalent) and where? This makes almost as much sense as me posting Pee Wee's morning routine in that intro thread.

yes because most people call it newai kaal ...

I'm still laughing at that one. Ironically, I did spend some time in Paktika last year and while most people acknowledge Nowruz, some celebrate it but not all, some celebrate Newai Khwazun (from what family tells me this was a celebration primarily acknowledged by kuchiyan but now is still celebrated as cultural tradition even by the settled tribes) but I'm fairly certain that all Pashtuns celebrate one or the other.

I don't think he understands that it's essentially the same celebration.
*Not literally or culturally the same but nonetheless a basic acknowledgement of a new year/new beginning... Which is probably still somehow haram to some oily Saudi satellite sheikh.

we celeberate nowroz but ever since iranians started passing it as their new year ,i got scyptical.
cant say if all Afghans celeberate it,being form kabul i can say it is widely celeberated there.
in Kunar it might be a different story.
we do have celeberations such as Pesarly,thats also when narenj gul and other poetry sessions are held.

you think?

sort your brains out ,most of the time you are writting garbage and throwing some wahabi/salafi/deobandi arab sheikh into it wont giv it legitimacy.

btw dont try to pass nowroz as something Islamic, as it is not an Islamic feest.

[Kushan Prince]

What some people on here don't understand is that celebrations of anything outside Islam including birthdays is haram. Also not to mention that nowruz comes from the old Persian religon who worship the sun in honur of zoraster. And what's with the verbal attacks on Afghanistan2010? He's speaking his opinion in which some I agree with.

[Admin Khan]

I think it's fair to assume nearly Afghan in Afghanistan celebrates Nowruz in one form or another. In particular, I recall in the city of Kandahar all the stores being shut down, and they would be enroute to Grishk ada, or Arghandaw to have a huge mela. Lo wala, used to be jam packed with people celebrating. The same goes for Helmand, and other nearby provinces. Herat I know celebrates, Mazar celebrates it, Kabul celebrates, and several other provinces. That's a pretty significant chunk of the Afghan population.

Caveat:
When I say celebrate, they usually cook Ugra(not sure if you guys know what that is)and send to their neighbors, and greet each other with the Naway Kal mubarakey. The youngings, and the oldies, all go on melas to various locations to play waraki(cards)or swim.

[Admin Khan]

btw i never once attempted to depict nowruz as something Islamic. btw I don't make monkeys, I just train them.

PS- I've been trying to sort my brains out for years... with no success yet.

Try heap-sort.


Anywyasm Nowruz is a PUBLIC HOLIDAY in Afghanistan, and celebrated by just about ALL. There is no denial in this.

Newikaal is celebrated by families getting together near or far, food is cooked all types of mewi are put out for guests. Its all to do with the beginning of new crops, the Lands are ready. They make dowa that this years crops are better.
