Critical Thoughts

Some people have the cheek to wish me “Merry “, even though they know that I am a Muslim. They can have that “wish” of theirs stuffed into a place where the sun does not shine!

“Merry “, indeed. Hmmph. I don’t do paganism, sorry.

What should be the Muslim reaction to Christmas? The Islamic view of Christmas is very clear on this point. There can of course only be one answer, and it is contained in Surah Al-Ikhlaas, which is as follows:

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.” (Qur’an, 112: 1-4)

And do not let anyone tell you that there should be “tolerance” to this pagan festival, because this involves an act of Shirik, and the punishment of Shirik is only one, which is An-Narr, a painful torment indeed for those who associate God with another in worship. May God keep us away from His wrath and we remain in our Imaan. Ameen.

When the Christmas holiday law was first enacted on June 28, 1870 in the United States, the people who approved it has no intention of making it a public holiday due to religious reasons.

Interesting, yes?
