Bismika Alllahuma

Alhamdulillah, tutto l'elogio è a Allah da solo, per renderci i musulmani e la concessione noi il Deen di Islam per distinguersi a destra e male. La stagione di festa è ancora su noi e la testa ugly di Satan sta aumentando ancora per ispirare la gente dedicarsi in l'innovazione e lo shirk. Che cosa continua è una vista analitica di Natale e di comportamento adatto dei musulmani durante la stagione di Natale.

Che cosa ogni musulmano dovrebbe conoscere circa Natale?

Abbastanza un certo numero di musulmani oggi, particolarmente quelli che vivono nei paesi Cristiano-dominati o quelli influenzati in larga misura da coltura occidentale, sono stati condotti considerare che partecipare alle celebrazioni di Natale degli amici e dei parenti è, molto a minimi, un tempo passato inoffensivo se non una fonte legittima di piacere per i bambini e gli adulti egualmente. In molti casi, la pressione conformarsi alle pratiche della società è troppo grande per quelle di risoluzione debole sostenere. I genitori sono tentati spesso per dare dentro alla supplica dei bambini che sono stati invitati ai partiti. Non conoscono mólto circa perchè questo accade perché i genitori gli non dicono i loro capretti.

Tutto il sistema o rituale di credenza (Natale o al contrario) in qualunque religione dovrebbe soddisfare ciascuno di seguenti test di verifica da identificare come autentico:

1. Dovrebbe avere relativa prova dagli scriptures o dai detti autentici del messaggero.
2. Il messaggero egli stesso ed i suoi compagni dovrebbero esercitarseli e propagare.
3. Lo Scripture o i detti del messaggero in cui questo sistema di credenza è presente dovrebbe essere conservato dalle alterazioni o dal perishment.

Jesus è stato sopportato il 25 dicembre?

Nessuno la data il 25 dic. né qualunque altra data la nascita sul Jesus' è accennata nella bibbia. Non fino all'anno 530 C.E., quello un monk, Dionysus Exigus, ha riparato la data della nascita di Jesus su dicembre. venticinquesimo. “Ha datato scorrettamente la nascita di Christ secondo il sistema romano (cioè, 754 anni dopo fondare di Roma) come dicembre. 25, 753.„¹ Questa data è stata scelta forse in armonia con le feste già indoctrinated nei pagans.

I pagans romani hanno celebrato dicembre. venticinquesimo come la nascita del loro “dio„ di luce, Mithra. “In the 2nd century A..D., it [Mithraism] was more general in the Roman Empire than Christianity, to which it bore many similarities.”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.”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.

What about Santa Claus?

The “Santa” character was further developed in 1809 when an amusing but inaccurate history of Dutch traditions was written. 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. Needless to mention, the word “Santa Claus” appears nowhere in the Bible. However Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) was a real bishop who was born some 300 years after Jesus (P). According to legend he was extremely kind and went out at night to distribute presents to the needy.

“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.”⁴

Christian belief states that the one God reveals himself in the three persons of Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit. These three persons are nevertheless regarded as a unity, sharing one “substance”. Prophet Jesus (P) is elevated to divinity, sits on the right hand of God and judges the world. 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. Paul made the Holy Spirit the alter ego of Christ, the guide and help of Christians, first manifesting itself on the day of Pentecost.

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. This form of Shirk occurs when any act of worship is directed to other than Allah.

“Indeed they do blaspheme those who say that Allah is Jesus, the son of Mary, but Jesus said “O children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord”. Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him heaven and the fire will be his abode.”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.”⁶

Muslim reaction towards Christmas

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. Enjoining good and forbidding evil should be our theme.

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). Christianity has transgressed the limits set by Allah; therefore showing happiness and joy on Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Good Friday is like shaking hands with Satan and telling him to carry on the good work.

Remember that Allah commandment to us in the Qur’an:

“Help you one another in virtue and righteousness, but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah, verily Allah is severe in punishment”.⁷

It is highly recommended for all Muslims to carry brochures on Islam with them to pass on classmates, co-workers, neighbors etc. after discussing Islam. Thus the hearts and minds of non-Muslims should be exposed to the beautiful message of Islam.

Say: “He is Allah, the One and only,
Allah, the Eternal, the Absolute,
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him.”
