What Every Muslim Should Know About Christmas? 每一个穆斯林都应该知道哪些关于圣诞节吗?
Quite a number of Muslims today, especially those living in Christian-dominated countries or those influenced to a large degree by western culture, have been led to consider that taking part in the Christmas celebrations of friends and relatives is, at very least, a harmless past time if not a legitimate source of pleasure for children and adults alike.不少穆斯林的今天,特别是那些在基督教占主导地位的国家的生活或影响到了西方文化很大程度的建议,都被引导认为参加朋友和亲戚的圣诞节庆祝活动的一部分是,在至少一种无害过去一段时间,如果不是为儿童和成年人都高兴合法来源。 In many instances, pressure to conform with the practices of society is too great for those of weak resolve to withstand.在许多情况下,压力,以符合社会的做法是太伟大了解决这些薄弱承受。 Parents are often tempted to give in to the pleading of children who have been invited to parties.父母经常给诱惑到了谁被邀请各方孩子恳求。 They do not know a lot about why this happens because the parents do not tell their kids about it.他们不知道为什么出现这种情况是因为父母没有告诉他们的孩子很多。

Was 是 Jesus 耶稣 Born on December 25th? 12月25日出生?
Neither the date 25th Dec. nor any other date on Jesus' birth is mentioned in the Bible.无论是12月25日的日期也没有任何关于耶稣出生日期是其他提到的圣经。 Not until the year 530 CE, that a monk, Dionysus Exigus, fixed the date of the birth of Jesus on Dec. 25th.直到530年行政长官,一个和尚,酒神Exigus,定于12月在耶稣诞生之日起25日。 “He wrongly dated the birth of Christ according to the Roman system (ie, 754 years after the founding of Rome) as Dec. 25, 753.” “他错误地给了基督诞生按照罗马制度(即七百五十四年成立后,罗马,为12月25日,753)。” 1 一 This date was chosen perhaps in keeping with the holidays already indoctrinated into the pagans.这个日期被选为或许与已经灌输到异教徒节日一致。
Roman pagans celebrated Dec. 25th as the birth of their “god” of light, Mithra.罗马异教徒庆祝12月25日出生的他们的“神”的光,密特拉。 “In the 2nd century A..D., it [Mithraism] was more general in the Roman Empire than “在第二世纪答。博士,它[密特拉教]是在罗马帝国更普遍较 Christianity基督教 , to which it bore many similarities.” ,它所承担。许多相似之处“ 2 2 “The reason why Christmas came to be celebrated on December 25 remains uncertain, but most probably the reason is that early Christians wished the date to coincide with the pagan Roman festival marking the “birthday of the unconquered sun” ( natalis solis invicti ); this festival celebrated the winter solstice, when the days again begin to lengthen and the sun begins to climb higher in the sky.” “圣诞节的原因有25来庆祝12月仍然不明朗,但最有可能的原因是早期的基督徒希望的日期,以配合异教罗马invicti节庆祝征服的”生日的太阳“(natalis索利斯 ),这庆祝冬至节,当天又开始延长,太阳开始攀登更高的天空。“ 3 3 Other pagan “gods” born on Dec. 25th are: Hercules, the son of Zeus (Greeks); Bacchus, god of wind (Romans); Adonis, god of Greeks; Freyr the Greek-Roman god.其他异教“神”在12月25日出生的有:大力士,是宙斯(希腊)的儿子;酒神,风之神(罗);阿多尼斯,希腊人神芙瑞耶希腊和罗马神。
What about Santa Claus? 圣诞老人怎么样?
The “Santa” character was further developed in 1809 when an amusing but inaccurate的“圣诞老人”的性质是在1809年进一步发展时,一个有趣但不准确 history历史 of Dutch traditions was written.荷兰传统写。 Washington Irving, influenced by north European Christmas customs, pictured St. Nicholas riding in a wagon merrily over rooftops, dropping presents down chimneys, the first time this had been sighted.华盛顿欧文,影响北欧圣诞节的习俗,图圣尼古拉斯马车骑在高高兴兴过天台,在下降烟囱礼物,这是第一次被短视的。 Needless to mention, the word “Santa Claus” appears nowhere in the Bible.不用提,单词“圣诞老人”出现在圣经中没有出路。 However Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) was a real bishop who was born some 300 years after Jesus (P).然而圣尼古拉斯(圣诞老人)是一个真正的主教,谁是300年后出生的耶稣(规划)。 According to legend he was extremely kind and went out at night to distribute presents to the needy.据传说,他非常实物和晚上进行了分发礼物给有需要的人士。
“Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.” “真的,真主宽恕不是伙伴应设置在崇拜他,但他原谅,除了(任何其他人)对谁,他高兴,谁建立了合作伙伴,与真主的崇拜,他的确发明了一种巨大的罪过。” 4 4
Christian belief states that the one God reveals himself in the three persons of Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit.信仰基督教的国家,一个上帝揭示了父亲的3人,儿子(耶稣基督),圣灵自己。 These three persons are nevertheless regarded as a unity, sharing one “substance”.这3人,但被视为一个整体,共用一个“物质”。 Prophet Jesus (P) is elevated to divinity, sits on the right hand of God and judges the world.先知耶稣(P)是上升到神,在神和法官坐在右手的世界。 The Holy Spirit, who in the Hebrew Bible is the means by which God exercises his creative power, in Christian thought becomes a part of the God-head.圣灵,谁在希伯来文圣经是神的手段行使他的创造力在基督教的思想,变成了神头的一部分。 Paul made the Holy Spirit the alter ego of Christ, the guide and help of Christians, first manifesting itself on the day of Pentecost.保罗的圣灵基督的改变,自我指导和帮助基督徒,首先体现在五旬节本身。
Consequently, Shirk in Ruboobeeyah occurs in the Christian belief that Jesus (P) and the Holy Spirit are God's partners in all of His dominion, in their belief that Jesus (P) alone pronounces judgment on the world and in their belief that Christians are helped and guided by the Holy Spirit.因此,Ruboobeeyah推卸发生,基督徒是帮助基督徒相信耶稣(P)和圣灵是神的合作伙伴统治一切有关他的,他们相信耶稣(P)的单独宣告判决的世界和他们的信仰由圣灵引导。 This form of Shirk occurs when any act of worship is directed to other than Allah.这种舍克时,会发生任何形式的崇拜行为,是向真主以外。
“Indeed they do blaspheme those who say that Allah is Jesus, the son of Mary, but Jesus said “O children of Israel! “事实上他们亵渎真主说,那些谁是耶稣,玛丽的儿子,但耶稣说:”以色列人哪孩子! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord”.崇拜真主,我的主,你的主“。 Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him heaven and the fire will be his abode.”谁加入与其他神阿拉,真主将禁止他的天堂和火将他的住处。“ 5 5
'Abdullâh ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allâh's Messenger (P) said: “Anyone who dies worshipping others along with Allah will definitely enter the Fire.” I said, “Anyone who dies worshipping none along with Allâh will definitely enter Paradise.” '阿卜杜拉伊本麦斯(愿真主保佑他)传述,安拉的使者(规划)说:“谁一起死亡崇拜真主一定会进入消防别人。”我说,“谁都不崇拜随着死亡真主一定会进入天堂。“ 6 6
Muslim reaction towards Christmas 对穆斯林的反应圣诞
Being the custodians of Truth and the “best Ummah created for mankind” and “witnesses unto mankind” ( ummatan wasatan ), we Muslims just cannot stay still as the society around us is entrapped by Satan.作为真理的保管人和“最佳伊斯兰世界创造了人类”和“证人你们人类”(ummatan wasatan),我们就不能停留穆斯林我们仍然像周围的社会,是撒旦所陷害。 Enjoining good and forbidding evil should be our theme.吩咐好,禁止邪恶的应该是我们的主题。
The foremost thing to realize is that Christmas is a big innovation which is leading a big part of humanity to Shirk (associating partners with God).首要的是要了解的是,圣诞节是一个很大的创新,这是导致人类的很大一部分, 逃避 (与上帝的交往伙伴)。 Christianity has transgressed the limits set by Allah; therefore showing happiness and joy on Christmas,基督教逾越真主规定的限制,因此显示在圣诞节的快乐和喜悦, Halloween万圣节 , Easter and Good Friday is like shaking hands with Satan and telling him to carry on the good work. ,复活节和耶稣受难像撒旦的手握手,并告诉他进行了很好的工作。
Remember that Allah commandment to us in the Qur'an:请记住,我们在真主的命令,以古兰经:
“Help you one another in virtue and righteousness, but do not help one another in sin and transgression. “帮你一个美德和正义另一个,但并不能帮助一个罪恶和另一侵。 And fear Allah, verily Allah is severe in punishment”.和恐惧真主,真主是实实在在的处罚严重“。 7 7
It is highly recommended for all Muslims to carry我们强烈建议所有穆斯林进行 brochures小册子 on Islam with them to pass on classmates, co-workers, neighbors etc. after discussing Islam.伊斯兰教与他们通过对伊斯兰教的同学讨论后,同事,邻居等。 Thus the hearts and minds of non-Muslims should be exposed to the beautiful message of Islam.因此,心和非穆斯林的头脑应该暴露在伊斯兰教华丽的祝词。
Say: “He is Allah, the One and only,你说:“他是真主,是唯一的,
Allah, the Eternal, the Absolute,真主,永恒,绝对,
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten.他begetteth没有,也不是造物主。
And there is none like unto Him.”有谁能像祂。“

First of all Christmas is not a “religious” holiday.所有圣诞节首先是不是一个“宗教”的节日。 It never has been.它从来不是。 Christians who desire to create a theme or idea that it is the birthday of Isa do it because they want to.基督徒谁希望建立一个主题或想法,它是伊萨的生日,是因为他们想这样做。
Its the failure of the Christian church to redirect this problem.它的基督教教会未能重定向这个问题。 Christmas basically is a secular holdiay.圣诞节基本上是一个世俗holdiay。 As a Jew Isa certainly would not have wanted his day of birth memoralized in this fashion.作为一个犹太人伊萨肯定不会要他的生日以这种方式memoralized。 Lets not blame Isa or Christianity for this de-evolution.让我们不应该为此负责代进化ISA或基督教。 If a person who is Christian desires to celebrate the birth of Isa from a purely spiritual standpoint I find nothing wrong with it.如果一个人谁是庆祝基督教欲望从一个纯粹的精神的角度看,我觉得出生的伊萨不妥。 What I dislike is the flagrant and often overdone spending and decorating and European themes that permeate Christmas.我不喜欢什么,常常是明目张胆的过度消费,装饰和欧洲的主题,贯穿圣诞节。 Should a Muslim celebrate Christmas?如果一个穆斯林庆祝圣诞节? Well that depends, it a Muslim appreciates Isa, and his words, and his journey and the fact that he was a prophet why not?那么这取决于它是穆斯林伊萨表示赞赏,他的话,他的旅程和事实,即他是一个先知,为什么不呢? Muslims celebrate Mohammads birthday (pbuh).穆斯林庆祝Mohammads生日(愿他平安无恙)。 I have seen big parties thrown for that particular celebration, with lights, food, and songs and so forth.我已经看到特定的庆祝活动引发大党,与灯光,食物和歌曲等。 Don't get confused, Christianity has alot of problems and archeology is helping with that.不要混淆,基督教有很多问题,这有帮助和考古学。 Many Christians are fearful of not “worshipping Isa” its built into the religon.许多基督徒都害怕不“崇拜伊萨”其内置到religon。 Since the council of Nacea when the vote was taken, should Jesus be equated with God or no?由于纳恰议会进行表决时,应等同于耶稣与上帝或没有? It was a slim vote.这是一个苗条表决。 But its gone that way ever since, directed by MEN, not by God.但它走了这样以来,由男性导演,上帝没有。 No where in the New testament does Isa say worship me.无论在任何地方在新约并伊萨说崇拜我。 No was manufactured by men for a purpose which has been lost to everyone who isn'ta theologist.没有一个是生产的已遗失大家谁不是一个神学家的目的男子。 So I don't fault people for following blindly, should Muslims do what Christians do?所以,我做不盲从过错的人,应该做的穆斯林信徒做什么? No. They are muslims.号,他们是穆斯林。 However to honor Isa isn't wrong in my opinion, the Quran speaks highly of him and his mother Maryam.但履行伊萨在我看来是不错的,可兰经高度评价他和他的母亲玛丽亚姆。
I struggled with this article primarily because the author makes the common mistake of attempting to say that Christianity is doing wrong things according to muslim standards.我挣扎这篇文章主要是因为作者并试图说基督教是做错了什么事情按照穆斯林的标准常见的错误。 You can't compare apples and oranges.你不能比较苹果和桔子。 Christianity and its belief system is their belief.基督教和其信仰体系是他们的信仰。 Now are they more responsible for evil because of their beliefs?现在他们更多的是因为他们的信仰邪恶负责呢? I don't think so, Christians are as varied in their level of belief and organization as anyone else, so we can't make them a monolith.我不这么认为,基督徒在他们的信仰和其他人的组织水平不尽相同,所以我们不能让他们一巨石。 Instead we should try to see the separation and be supportive of that separation.相反,我们应该设法看到的分离,并支持这种分离。 We do as we do, and they do as they do.我们和我们一样,他们做他们做的事。 Simple isn't it?简单,不是吗? Why should a muslim site even discuss Christmas and Santa Claus?为什么一个穆斯林网站甚至讨论圣诞节和圣诞老人? Santa Claus is an imaginary figure and all Christians know this.圣诞老人是一个虚构的人物,所有的基督徒都知道这一点。 Even when he was “invented” he was brought to America from Europe where he is known as Father Christmas in England and Sinter Klaus in Dutch countries.即使他是“发明”,他被带到美国,他是从欧洲著名的英格兰和烧结克劳斯成圣诞老人在荷兰的国家。 (I may have spelled that wrong). (我可能是拼写错误)。 Either way how does that impact an intact and healthy muslim?无论哪种方式怎么会影响一个完整,健康的穆斯林? Well I guess the fear is the glitz of it, the glamour of it is like an entrapment for those not strong in their deen.嗯,我猜恐怕是它的浮华,它的魅力就像是为那些不符合他们的德恩是强大的压迫。 And perhaps some fear the loss of the younger muslims to this.也许有些担心,年轻的穆斯林损失了这一点。 I feel this way, if a person is drawn to something it speaks of their conviction to their belief system, and to what degree?我觉得这种方式,如果一个人被吸引到它的东西讲的信念,以自己的信仰系统,到什么程度? There is an assumption that muslims are all from the same cloth, and all should be.有一种假设,即穆斯林都来自同一个布,所有应该的。 Nothing is farther from the truth, even in the Middle East and Africa and Persia how Islam is practiced varies a great deal.什么比这更远离真理,甚至在中东和非洲和波斯伊斯兰教是如何实行的,差别很大。 We can say its cultural, and it is.我们可以说,它的文化,它是。 I am not offended by Christmas, as a former Christian I see it for what it is, no more than a show.我不生气了圣诞前的基督徒,我看到它是什么,不超过一个节目。 Time off from work, and time to spend with loved one's.从工作休息时间,而时间陪伴爱人的。 Yes, people spend too much money, and they eat way too much, and also alcohol flows in plenty yet again though I ask, what does this have to do with a muslim?是的,人们花太多的钱,他们吃太多,也大量流入酒精再次,虽然我问这是什么都与一个穆斯林? Nothing what so ever.没有什么东西这么过。 If you want to discuss social issues, keep it social, if you want religious discussion than even more so, this idea is dead.如果你要讨论社会问题,保持社会,如果你想讨论的不是宗教,更是这样,这种想法是死的。 If a muslim has a Christmas tree what does that mean?如果一个穆斯林有圣诞树到底是什么意思? If a muslim has a Christmas tree than that person isn't muslim, that is the answer I would expect to get.如果一个穆斯林有圣诞树比人不是穆斯林,这就是答案我预料得到的。 But there are muslims who see themselves as progressive, and modern.但也有穆斯林谁认为自己是进步和现代。 Yet can we judge their hearts?然而,我们可以判断他们的心? Perhaps that is to Sufi an idea for this site.也许这是苏菲这个网站的想法。
At any rate I think that Christmas is a baccanal for Christians and we should never step into the path of judging others religions by our guidelines.无论如何,我认为圣诞节是基督徒baccanal我们绝不能踏入听别人教我们的指引的道路。 We simply can't.我们根本做不到。 it sounds and looks like either jealousy or worse picking a fight were none needs to be picked.这听起来像任何嫉妒或者更糟采摘战斗看起来也没有的需要挑选。 If my nieghbor is Christian and has a tree, good for them.如果我nieghbor是基督教,并在树上,对他们有好处。 If my other neighbor is jewish and has a Menorrah good for them.如果我的邻居是犹太人和其他已为他们Menorrah好。 I will celebrate Eid.我将庆祝开斋节。 And when the day is done no one is hurt and none the wiser.当一天的工作没有受到伤害,没有一个明智的。 Does celebrating Christmas bring evil to the world?是否庆祝圣诞节给世界带来邪恶? Of course not.当然不是。 Evil lies in the hearts and minds of men who mostly are secular.邪恶在于男人的心和世俗的头脑大多是谁。 If a Christian invites a muslim co-worker to the office Christmas party should they attend?如果一个基督徒邀请穆斯林同事的办公室圣诞党要他们参加? Well, a wise person will go, and do the politics because celebration is in the heart, and belief.那么,一个有智慧的人会去,做政治,因为庆祝活动的核心是,和信仰。 Not to mention the words.更不用提词。 “Merry Christmas” which is not religious. “圣诞快乐”,这是不是宗教。 I am a muslimah in the workforce.我是一个在劳动力muslimah。 I do not wear Hijab because I lost two jobs because of it, though the employers were very careful to say other things such as too many complaints about you.我不戴头巾,因为我丢了两个,因为它的工作,但雇主都非常谨慎地说,其他的东西,如对你太多的投诉。 Well, was I too muslim for my mostly Christian clients?嗯,是我也为我的客户大多是基督教穆斯林? I certainly didnt' use any language to suggest such, but my clothing told them, this is an oddity, and perhaps an evil, so we can't keep her.当然,我剪掉'使用任何语言暗示,而是我的衣服告诉他们,这是一个奇特,或许是邪恶的,所以我们不能让她。 In short I believe that the more we pour on the religious rhetoric to prove points the worse we make it.简言之,我认为,越是在宗教言论倒点差证明我们做到。 We want to live peacefully with each other, this is America and it is, despite some Atheist beliefs, a Christian country.我们希望和平地生活在一起,这是美国,它是,尽管一些无神论的信仰,是一个基督教国家。 But it is a tolerant country and it can be more so.但它是一个宽容的国家,它可以更了不起。 I believe we should as muslims be in the community and not hidden away in our cliques and separate ourselves from everyday life.我认为我们应在穆斯林社区,而不是隐藏在我们的集团和单独从自己的日常生活。 We should be obvious in that we are polite, and well spoken, and clean, and that we keep to “our” belief systems.我们应该是显而易见的,这对我们是礼貌,讲好,干净,而且我们坚持“我们的”信仰体系。 I don't go to office Christmas parties but I do say to friends and co-workers, “enjoy” there is no harm in that.我不去办公室圣诞派对,但我告诉朋友和同事,“享受”没有任何损害。
I agree with Lailah.我同意Lailah。
Regardless,无论如何,
I did not seem to find anywhere in the article why Muslims are not allowed to partake in Christmas.我似乎没有找到任何文章为什么穆斯林不得参加圣诞。 I don't see the harm in taking part in the SECULAR part of the holiday.我没有看到在采取在假期世俗的一部份的伤害。
