Happy nowruz from morocco ✌
Happy Nowruz from Romania!
I have Persian ancestors on my mother’s side and I wanna celebrate it😩🥺 when I have my own family I’m gonna raise my kids to celebrate it every year💕💕💕💕
@@farnamsafarzadeh3396 she said she has ancestors, that means she has Persian blood. Plus what you are stating is a very closed-minded thing to say. I have a Persian husband, are you saying I can’t celebrate this with my husband and his side of the family?
@@quiqui78 its different if you know someone from Iran, vs. just having an ancestor, that could be from 1000 years ago. I agree with Farnam, its called cultural appropriation look it up. You are free to celebrate Nowruz with your husband and enjoy it to the fullest Happy Nowruz!
@@farnamsafarzadeh3396 I agree 100%, cultural appropriation.
@@KayvanKermani ummm no nowruz is open to anyone Persian or not. Is Christmas restricted to one race? Even in Iran not everyone is Persian but they still celebrate it. It's actually become common in other countries for example India. Also the way they said it I doubt they're talking about 1000 years probably their grandparents were Persian....
@@KayvanKermani Let me guess, you don't even live in Persia. Most likely *born* in the US as well or maybe moved there at a young age. Who are you to dictate who can or can't be interested in learning new cultures and joining them. If anything, people from any culture absolutely LOVE it when someone is interested in their culture and norms.
Happy Nowruz From Azerbaijan🇦🇿🌱🔥🌼⚘🌸🌺🍀🌾🤗
Happy Nowruz . Long Live Persia...
Happy Nowruz🇮🇷🇹🇯🇦🇫❤️نوروز مبارک
I wish every one of you and also all those people whom celebrate this wonderful & historical event at beginning of spring across the globe a healthy prosper life with your families .....
Best wishes to you as well!
@@Qznews Thank you so much
As a Chinese-American, my family and I are about to celebrate the Lunar New Year on February 12th. It is interesting that there are a lot of ideals/themes in Nowruz that are similar to that of the Lunar New Year, such as health, prosperity, and rebirth/new beginning.
Yes, Chinese and Persian civilizations are very ancient and thus can have similarly occuring themes.
Is there any doubt that a family can only be a group of people whose potential is the same as the other members of the group?
I love this so much, thank you for sharing. :) Happy Nowruz from America.
Happy Nowruz to you too!
I also thank you, dear American friend, Hossein from Iran.
THANKS FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO CLIP!
🎆🎆🎆🎆🎉✨🎁 I am so excited to celebrate Persian new year tomorrow!
Happy new year 🌹🌹🌹
With respect to Muslims. But Quran is not the book for HaftSin table. It should be Shahnameh!
Shahnameh by Ferdowsi ? by his real name Abū-l-Qāsim Manṣūr ibn Ḥasan al-Ṭūṣī the devout Shia muslim ?
@@haddadleila6708
Dear Leila: Ferdowsi was a Ghaznavid contemporary poet. Iranian after the arab invasion was doomed to choose between become moslem, paying heavy taxes and death.They chose to live but become moslem. Persian language was banned for 200 years and speaking persian could result in grave punishment. They had to choose arabic names and their publication had to be in Arabic as well. So being moslem was not by choice but obligation. Ferdowsi name being arabic should be explained in this context! All the scientists and poets had arabic names including Razi or Khayyam who were atheists. I should also mention that in Ferdowsi time Iranian were all Sunnis,not Shia! Shiasm came extensively to Iran after safavid daynasty!
Happy nowruz health and peace for the earth
Nowruz Mubarak1 Greeting from Bulgaria! ;):):)
Nowruz Mobarak
My husband and I will be celebrating Nowruz this year together for the first time super excited ! But there is suppose to be NO quran in the Haftseen! This is a Persian holiday not Muslim or Arab ! Thank you!
True

@it's juju join! For year's I looking at comments and it is now I saw some one wrote what I feel every time I look at this new year haft seen! Big No to the Muslim book Quran nothing to do with our Persian new year. I am a baptized christian now and stateless for 35 year's! My love for you and your dear family. Salaeh noh Mobark.
Actually they integrated it with Islamic culture and also it has something to do with the 4th caliph,Ali of Islam.

happy nowruz from iran
Was watching Shahs of sunset cute thing to do
Happy NowRouz 1400!🎉
Good Informative Video..
Happy beginning of Spring with a Kobideh
Folks don't confuse this holiday with any religion. The woman presenting this is definitely muslim, however this holiday predates all religions because it's 3000 years old, far older than every major religion today. This is from folklore Persian folklore nothing more!
Hi Quartz. Amazing video. Could you share the name of song in Audio Network pls?
Please don't buy live goldfish if you're not prepared to care for them for an additional 15 years with a minimum aquarium size of 40 gallons depending on the goldfish.
Yes 👏🏼 please don’t buy goldfish as they may live past a week okay !! 😆😂

Navroz mubarak from bangladesh
@ Quartz :
Beautiful Haftseen table. :)
Where can I find/purchase this tablecloth?
Arash Kamongir The table cloth is probably Termeh( the real authentic ones are hand woven in city of Yazd from silk and/or long stranded wool.)As it is very valuable old art form and hard to hand weave, the authentic ones are extremely expensive. Now a days they are made from synthetic material and machine woven too. Check on ebay unless you have someone in Iran who can buy some for you. Good luck
@@myview6852 :
OK, thanks
:)
Khashange.😀
Beautiful.😀
Quran is not in the original tradition, however religous people use that which is respected, but originally we always use Hafez or Ferdowsi's poetry books instead of that.
بسيار زيبا و عالي.. درود بر شما بانوي محترم اصيل❤️❤️
The book shown is Quran which is only applicable to certain people like the lady in the video and not all Iranians (even among muslim population, people use poet's books such as Hafiz, Shahnameh by Ferdowsi, Rumi or Awesta which is the only one existed thousands of years ago).
I was just gonna say that! I have Rumi's book on my Nowruz this year :)
Rumi the devout sufi muslim ? Ferdowsi the shia muslim ? Hafiz the memorizer of the Quran ? well its somhow the same as putting a Quran on the table ;) and your claim about which it is only applicable to certain people this is false, man i wached really a lot of Nowrue vlog, documentary or just pictures on instagram, and Quran is here in the majority of cases.
@@parnianx Rumi the great muslim theologian, faqih and Islamic scholar ? its somhowe the same ;)
After Arabs invasion around 1400 yrs ago majority of the country was forced to become Muslim. Just like anywhere else Islam went to. these guys were living at the time were majority were 'muslims', but you cant just count them all as muslims. In shahnameh ferdowsi uses mostly persian words in his poems to keep Parsi alive which he did. Of course Awesta existed thousands years before any of these other religions were born.
And today is even the same, someone asks what is the majority religion in iran answer online or by the government is Islam, but the percentage of people actually follow it is very slim.
@@LiteGaitSina "In shahnameh ferdowsi uses mostly persian" euh yes and so what ? he was a Persian its normal, but hes was a devout Shia muslim, a muslim Turk use Turkish, and muslim Amazigh use amazigh language, you really dont know the deffirence between a religion and a culture , damn.
The holy book on Haftseen table should actually be Zoroastrians' book, Avesta, not Quran! Nowruz is historically related to Zoroastrianism
people wrote on pieces of leather back then. there was no paper book to put on a table
Majid Ghayour regardless. of material used. The Avesta wasthe book on the original historical sofreh. Except for Zoroastrians, all other Iranians put A persian poet’s book of choiceThis is how this oldest of all celebrations has survived the times. Changes have been made through the millenia in order for it to go on and be preserved. For example for the las almost 14 centuries, wine which was part of the original sofreh has been dropped by all except the original followers who usually set the sofreh with both 7 S’s and the original 7 Sh’s.This celebration is much older than three thousand years ago!
@@myview6852 sharab, sharbat, shahd, and sham' are all Arabic words. Persians didn't use these words before Islam. Persian equivalent of wine is "mey" which doesn't start with "sin" or "shin". 7shin is a lie and there is no reliable evidence of it, but people tend to believe lies they like, without any research and thought. Putting extra items is optional but doesn't make anyone ORIGINAL FOLLOWER
@@myview6852 sharaab wasn't at the original haft seen either, and Noruz predates Zoroastrianism too. Originally it was just literature at the sofreh - eventually, poetry, then after that, the Avesta - then a few thousand years later, Muslim Iranians used the Quran.
Zoroastrianism took on Noruz and the faravahar - they didn't cone from Zoroastrianism.
Faran Moradipour you are wrong. Zoroastrians do not insist on correcting many things because they have had to survive!!!!! The religion is so old that Cyrus the great referred to it as an ancient religion and carbon dating done in England proves a history of about 6 thousand years old. Since we can hardly prove every single thing that old and all beliefs and rituals tend to change with time, best sources we have do not support what you are saying. I grew up being told Zoroastrians worship fire!!! Really what nonsense!!!
As a Malaysian, I don't understand where all this hatred came from. Many people (who I believe is Persian) claim that the scarf is a symbol of oppression to women, but at the same time they are telling her what to wear (not to mention all the slut shaming) This is actually a shock to me because I thought Persian were warm and nice people.
And what's wrong with using Quran in the Nowruz. She is not trying to make it as a 'religious' holiday but she's adapting her beliefs with her cultural background with is OK.
You do realize every country has its own share of bad people? No nation is entirely good. There are always some bad apples among them, so maybe you shouldn’t lump good people of Iran with bad ones, think they’re all bad. Also, by Persians I guess you’re referring to Iranians. Iranians are not just Persians. Persians (I’m one) are just one of Iranian ethnicities. It seems you don’t know that.
Some people just have problem with religion they just show their hatred through open mind wannabe behavior dictating to people what to do or not while claiming to be a modern person! Many irainians put Quran on haft sin as the book of wisdom and for whoever doesn't believe in it, it's ok they can put other books of famous poems or other books of wisdoms there is no need to tell people what to do.
Nowrouze 2580 mobarak.🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Every thing in match , but not the shot book you place in it nothing to do with Persian new year! Remember the Muslim government of Iran tried to destroy our new year!
Euh no, i'm not a defenser of the ayatollah regime but they never tried to destroy Nowruz, and its funny how the majority of people who have a probleme with the Quran on the table of nowruz are not Iranian from Iran, today majority of Iranian are muslim, so its normal they add some "islam" to their cultural holiday.
به نظر من خیلی خوبه
i didn't know about nowruz?
you put falle hafez not quran!
Absolutely
And Hafez as its indicated by his nickname (Hafez=memorizer of the quran) , was a quran memorizer, so putting Hafez on the table is somehow like putting a Quran on the table :p
the problem is, i dont have HALF of these things at my house
go and buy it 😂😂
Nope norooz is not religious holiday.its national holiday of Iran. And stop making it religious with scarf and religious book.
It's actually kind of religious because it's kind of historically related to Zoroastrianism
My family in Iran celebrate Nowruz and use a Bible instead because we are Assyrian. I like how Persians have such a unique culture and I guess it applies to everyone, not just one religion
Nowruz is celebrated by 29 countries, not only Iran, and all these countries are muslim with a majority muslim population.
This is navroz in Iran or rather it used 2 b now in India it is all fast n fury from bakhtawar from iran
1:18 - sabzeh is the original Easter basket. Represents the pagan god that this holiday was for in 3000 BC.
So Nowruz must be the original Easter (without christian influences) So many similarities: grass, painted eggs, hyasints..
*Nowruz is not a religious holiday.* As you said Nowruz existed millennia before Islam came to be. So the Quran is not a part of it. But Muslims who celebrate Nowruz do put a Quran on their table.
Hahaha
It's also a Kurdish holiday, right? Any Kurds watching, how do you celebrate it?
It's because it's an ancient Persian custom. Kurds were part of that empire whether they like it or not. We have Kurds in Iran and they are just as Iranian as others. Iranians are not just Persians. There are different ethnicities here.
Its iranian new year u r right but all the countries in the world known iran with the greek name of iran .they said persian
mina yazdanbin its not because kurds were part of any empire, ok it sure helped the tradition to continue amongst the kurds, but the main reason I would say is because persians, kurds, baluch and so on are all iranic people speaking indo-european languages and were the same people from the beggining. And they were all practicing a pre-islamic tradition lile zoroasterism
YPzaete
We all the same ,Happy nowruz.
What does mean nevruz bagha?
I don't believe Qur'an is part of the Nowruz tradition. I'd share this video with my colleague if the Qur'an part was not there.
You are arayan
Your holly book in there ,is not the Persian's holly book, it is Arab's book. We do not have that in ours haft seen and you are supposed to show Persian New Year not Arab followers. it would be better a Persian Person demonstrate our Nowruz customs. I mean true Persian. you are pretending that all Iranians will have that book which is not as you well know. I am ashamed to have it even in my house
Nowruz is celebrated by 29 countries, not only Iran. Among those countries some of them are now muslims but decided to still keep this Zoroastrian celebration as part of their new (not so new) identity. Nothing wrong with that.
Traditions change, holiday’s adapt. Don’t dig into the meaning of a book too much. Regardless of the religion, holy books represent good morals and general love. As the Persians adapt, so do their cultures
Persian hollybook ? there is no such thing lie a "Persian holly book", being Persians is an ethnecity, and today majprity of Persians are muslims and their holly book is the quran, wich is also the holly book of 2 billions people in majoritu non arabe, dumb comment.
" you are pretending that all Iranians will have that book" not all, but at least 90% yes, sorry for you.
YPzaede it seems you are not a kurd as you saying, i look at your things it look like you are a turk! As you see azarbyjane mean people of fire! Takhteh Soliman where the fire was burned for thousand of year is there. I do not if you understand what i am talking about!
Quran is not pursian culture
Yes, but its the religion of the majority of persians today.
Coin and Hyacinth are NOT part of seven S's !!!!!
In india nowratra in iran nowrooz celebrate same way
Qur'an is not part of our Haftseen, at all. It's a pre-Islamic celebration. It's belong to all people not just people of a specific faith. What a disinformation.
We do it in a different way in Kurdistan
All those words mean the same in Hindustani too
That's good to know - we're language nerds here. 🤓
@@Qznews Thanks for replying, didn't expect that
@@Sinayro I know, I was just stating that they are exactly the same words
@@Sinayro
Because both of them have old persian roots...

Hello, 🐦
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ(His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus Christ sincerely to be God's child John 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today?
Please next time make it inclusive … we don’t all out the Quran …
This is a Zoroastrian holy day! Not Muslim. Navroze is pre Islamic. This is the Zoroastrian Persian New Year.
i don't like her scarf (hejab) vakhhhh
learn how to respects other peoples religion, if u dont like it then dont wear one but dont hate other people for wearing it
متاسفانه لچک سرشه
Bringing shame to us... take that scarf off!!

I think you need to "shut up". An Iranian who voluntarily puts a piece of raggedy trash on her hair brings indeed shame to any real & sane Iranian.
Fuck you and your dirty Ayatollah. Arabparast

Would you kindly take off your hair covering that brings down the Persian woman.
A woman doesn’t need to be covered to keep the man’s eye in a safe place. The man is responsible for that.
Li Hamed It’s a choice
Li Hamed hypocritical of you to dictate what a woman should and shouldn’t wear. Why don’t you mind your own business?
quran does not belong to that table. please Do not bring Iranian values down with that book.
You can Put any holy book!!. AS your belive IS!!. This is Persian Value; tollerant of Religion
Yes but like it or not, majority of Persians and Iranians are muslims today, they can put what they want on their cultural holiday
lol its a joke frome a man who use the name of Ferdowsi, remember me what was the religion of Ferdowsi please ?
