Can A Muslim Wish His Christians Friend Merry Christmas by Nobody: 9:45am On Dec 24, 2016
Christmas Greeting

According to Islam, God neither begets nor he is begotten & the biggest abuse you can give to God is to say He begot a son. This is because; begetting is a lower animal function of sex which cannot be attributed to God.

According to Christianity, Jesus (pbuh) is the only begotten son of God & Christmas is celebrated as his birthday. Since this is considered as the biggest abuse given to God, Muslims are not allowed to wish Christians on this day.

A Christian complains about prohibition of Muslims celebrating or congratulating people at Christmas Praise be to the One God, who begets not, nor is begotten.

You seem to have misinterpreted the condemnation of celebration of Christmas as a matter of disrespect for Christians. In reality, it is out of respect for Allah and Jesus and the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them. It is an integral part of our faith to reject celebrations that have not been prescribed and/or that have a basis in falsehood, as inevitably they lead to misguidance and alterations in faith, as has happened with Christianity.

There is nothing "radical" or "fringe" about this. It is our basic right to protect our faith and practice from distortion and falsehood. Surely no one has a right to condemn us for this.





And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son." You have done an atrocious thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation. That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son. [Qur'an 19:88-92]


Say: He is Allah the One and Only; Allah the Eternal Absolute; He begets not nor is He begotten; and there is none like unto Him. [Qur'an 112]

Actually i read the original post, it just doesn't add up. It's just like saying because they have a different beliefs from ours, then we shouldn't have anything to do with them. In my own perspective though, i think it is what we believe that makes us a believer and not the word we go about altering. Or what do you think?

The hunger for Christmas Chicken is making you go against Allah's command. grin


Quran (5:51) - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."


Quran (5:80) - "You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide." Those Muslims who befriend unbelievers will abide in hell.

No one is going to address your issue until you tell your Islamic people to open up the section for non-muslims to be able to criticise Islam the same way you are privileged to do to Christianity.

Seun didn't allow me. I only clicked that stupid button so as to comment on my own thread that was wrongly moved to the Islamic intolerant section. I also used the opportunity to make a few posts like this one.

Mind you, Allah is not God almighty and Mohammad is his false prophet.

Hope you are enjoying the Haram chicken.

He allowed you. If he didn't you wouldn't have been able to comment here in the first place.

Okay.
