    Christmas became capitalistic, even non-christians celebrate it. Even a Christian himself told me “Christmas isn’t only for religious reasons, there’s the national side of it”.

    Baba Jee, if you are that influential, kindly confirm the exact date of Christ's birth (if it wasn’t December 25), so Muslims can avoid wishing during the festival and protect their faith 😒

    I can understand how this ayat could be understood to prohibit returning a formalized greeting connected to some other faith tradition that is also contrary to the commands of our blesséd Lord and Benefactor. However, I think the principle of niyah comes into play here. If a person identifying as Muslim issues a greeting or returns such a greeting to a non-Muslim with the intention of actively participating in the celebration, then yes, such a greeting would be prohibited since the person has explicitly announced his intention (perhaps in joining the festivities) and in that sense has “born false witness”. But, if the greeting is given with no intention of participating and then the person goes about his business, in that case, the intention can only be observed by others as an implicit intention and that implied intention disappears as soon as the Muslim person after issuing or returning the greeting “goes on his way in dignity”. To say that the greeting itself regardless of intent is participation is a bit of a stretch. Most of the Muslims in the world today live in diverse countries under liberal democracies that guarantee religious freedom (as of course does our deen) Given that reality, and concern we have for the the promotion of anything, within reason, that assures harmonious relations across diverse communities, a simple greeting should not be conflated with other haram behaviors such as the consumption of alcohol or the integration of the sexes. So, having said this, I would like to wish our Christian friends a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

      Makes sense to me. Knowing most western Christians do adultery and drink alcohol etc especially at Christmas then to wish them "Merry" is to say keep doing more of the same and enjoy doing it - goes against Islamic red lines. Feel Dr Naik is correct. Think about other prohibitions which can be an analogy - Asr cannot be prayed 10 minutes before sunset - why? Thought about it? So that it may not be accidentally mistaken for praying to the sun/moon ie a pagan god which they used to do pre our Prophet PBUH. Logically it means that even if you are praying to Allah if you pray at that time the fact that it could by some miniscule chance be mistaken for a prayer to a false God is itself proof that Allah will not tolerate any promotion of shirk in any way, form or manner by promoting the merry celebration of licentious indulgence.

      No we can't and won't believe that the real God could in any sane way of thinking, possibly have a mother and a son. Don't humanise God as he is NOT a human being. Give us a rational belief and we may concede merit in it but don't insult our intelligence - if you tell a whopping lie courtesy of 40 men who changed the original Injeel of Prophet Esa PBUH, make it a believable lie.

    Astagfirullah! Please stop putting words in our mouths.
    I wholly respect the majority scholarly position, however no one has been able to convince me that saying “merry Christmas” implies that you believe that God gave birth to a son na-awudu billah.
    According to the shariah ruling of Aqeedah, then one must profess a belief both with tongue and heart in order to fall into shirk ul Akbar (the major shirk which takes one outside of the fold of Islam).
    I explicitly state that the greeting of merry Christmas is NOT because we believe that God gave birth to a son, but it is simply a gesture of courtesy and good will, and nothing more.
    So to conflate this greeting with the intention I just mentioned with full blown shirk and of imitating an entire dogma is just preposterous and goes completely against the sharia ruling of what constitutes major shirk.
    And Allaah knows best.

      if you think about it for a bit simply knowing christmas meaning and why they celebrate it
      even if you did it with the intention of courtesy and goodwill it still is celebrating by saying "merry christmas" you are still wishing them on it which is the problem doing it and if you know all of this and continue to stay ignorant and say it would become haram

    • @bee8583
      @bee8583 Год назад +1

      @@hm-er4iz Assalamualaikum, I respectfully disagree.
      Here I wrote piece on this a couple of weeks ago, have a read. You don’t have to agree. But At least you will understand.
      The following Is a piece I put together, addressing this subject, the semantics of it, the historical evolution of the event, and the religious, and its cultural and Islamic implications.
      According to Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, who is an Islamic scholar and lecturer at the Islamic Institute of Toronto.
      He said in a fatwa:
      ------------
      (quote) “just greeting” isn’t something that we should be worried about, but what we should be more concerned about is if we are “celebrating” or “believing” in Christmas. (End quote)
      -----------
      I want to use this precept as the basis of the following reading and advice.
      I would argue that the *INTENTION* is where the matter really lies.
      Generally when Muslims Wish their Christian friends and neighbours “Merry Christmas” it is just a gesture of courtesy and goodwill and nothing else.
      It DOES NOT imply any sort of agreement that Jesus was the son of god or sworn testimony.
      For the literal meaning of the greeting itself is:
      “Merry” meaning a happy occasion
      “Christ” to mean the Messiah Jesus
      “Mass” means getting together.
      So having broken down the literal meaning of ‘merry Christmas’ there is nothing in the greeting that implies shirk, or associating partners with God.
      Yet some Muslims who choose not to greet their Christian neighbours with merry Christmas conflate the greeting with full blown shirk, and of imitating an entire dogma! And this is preposterous.
      This is because of a misinterpreted hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying:
      “Whoever imitates a person is one of them.”
      Though the Hadith is sahee, in this particular instance, the manner in which it is understood is where the issue arises.
      The judgement of becoming like someone is based on the proportion of imitation, and what you are imitating them on.
      Again.
      The judgement of becoming like someone is based on the proportion of imitation, and what you are imitating them on.
      If one were to argue that greeting someone with “Merry Christmas” is enough to regard one of becoming a Christian or of committing shirk, would you then agree on the same principle of rule when the table is flipped and a Christian says to a Muslim “Eid Mubarak”, has he now imitated the Muslims and committed tawheed?
      The fact is that a Christian greeting his Muslim neighbour “Eid Mubarak” doesn’t mean he is celebrating Eid, doesn’t make him Believe in eid, nor does it mean that they believe in Muhammed as a prophet! It is simply a gesture of courtesy and good will.
      However if that Christian then came to our gatherings, performed our whudu, prayed our prayers and recited our kalima; THEN THIS is what is meant by imitation. You can now regard him or her as imitating the faith of Islam.
      In exactly the same way a muslim who dresses up on Christmas, goes to their churches, sings their songs, eats their turkey, drinks their wine and dances with their women; THEN THIS is what you can regard as imitation.
      Of course the more you imitate someone the more you become like them. But to conflate a simple greeting “merry Christmas” with full blown shirk is not only wrong, it’s preposterous. It’s a complete perversion and abuse of the Hadith.
      Going back to the precept I quoted in the beginning:
      ------------
      (quote) “just greeting” isn’t something that we should be worried about, but what we should be more concerned about is if we are “celebrating” or “believing” in Christmas. (End quote)
      -----------
      Considering the evolution of the festive of Christmas over the centuries to what it is today, the greater concern for the ummah during this occasion is not the mere greeting “merry Christmas”, but the yearning of actually wanting to celebrate, to go out and indulging in the haram that the masses indulge in during this time. Because when you do that, then THIS IS WHEN you have become like them.
      So let us call it as it is, and let us put the emphasis of concern in the right place.
      And Allaah is the source of all knowledge.
      --------------
      Oh Allaah, Lord of Jibreel, Mikaeel and Israfeel, originator of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the supreme Throne, Do Thou judge between Thy slaves in that which they differ about the truth, by Thy permission. And Thou guidest whosoever Thou will on the straight path.
      Oh Allaah, grant us understanding, and wisdom, and guide us to that which is closer to the truth. Ameen.

      Your religion for you our religion for us. I'm with Naik. No way can you exhort those who fornicate in the name of Jesus and get punch drunk at Christmas (that is their main goal) to keep up their "merry making". In the west most ex-nuptial babies are born in September. Imbibing of alcohol is their main thing to do at Christmas even keeping aside the shirk question. Enlighten yourself - first step read the Holy Quran with meaning and save your blah blah blah until after you do.

    Let me tell you something, Islam is a beautiful religion and I am very sure that the almighty Allah will never get upset if we wish “Happy Diwali” or “Merry Christmas” to anyone. When Prophet Muhammad himself was fair and just to non believers then who are we ? A lot of non believers wish me on Eid and Bakrid as well. We live in a society where there are all kinds of people and we need to be fair to everyone. That is what Islam is. Allah always sees your action and “niyat” .

      @@shirzi97 Absolutely. Niya is all important here. It doesn’t matter what this or that sheikh or other self appointed preacher wannabe believes our intentions are when we use a seasonal greeting to our non-Muslim friends. If we intend to worship Jesus when we greet a Christian friend Allah ta’ala will know it. But to say that the greeting itself is shirk is just so much judgmental thinking. As to listening to the scholars as alhudatq613 suggests, well… there is a reason that Islam has no organized clergy. There is just too much of a temptation for scholars to be puffed up with pride and lead people astray because of their scholarship which is what Christian preachers do all the time. The brother here who presents himself as a scholar, which I have no doubt that he is, gives us an ayat from Quran that he claims makes wishing somebody a merry Christmas Haram when in the vast majority of cases, it is clearly not because no explicit worshiping of Jesus has occurred i.e., no intention. The idea that we are congratulating them on their shirk when we issue a greeting is just plain wrong linguistically. You congratulate a person when they have achieved something of note. When you wish somebody well on some seasonal festival their community celebrates that’s all you’re doing: wishing them well.

      @@SaidAhmadI totally agree with you. We follow a religion but we live in a society as well. There are all kinds of people in a society, they greet us on our festivals, we greet them on theirs. Islam is a simple religion but it is made complicated by such preachers and by other extreme elements. You follow what the Quran tells you and do your part and be a good human in a society. You go to a school where you meet different kinds of people, then college then your workplace, people are curious, they ask you about your culture, you ask them about theirs and together we grow as a society. Since I am an Indian I live in a Hindu dominated society, I know that Hindus do not consume beef and my Hindu friends know that I do not consume pork, so we have that mutual respect and understanding. This is how we grow as a society.
