🎄 The birthday of the son of God ! 🎄
This is the real meaning of Christmas that Christians celebrate.
❌They don't celebrate the birthday of Jesus ( peace be upon him), the human.They celebrate the birthday of Jesus, the son of God, according to their belief.
☄This is because Jesus,the human,wasn't born in January, nor December, according to the ascertained christian scholars.
🗡Some of the Christian scholars themselves are against this festival, considering it as a festival of the pagans,who used to celebrate the birthday of the son of a deity (named Baal).
❗I wonder how Muslims don't think before they congratulate others on their religious occasions. At one time , they wish them "merry christmas", which is celebrating god's son birthday!. And on another day, they congratulate them on the day of Easter , on which god has came back after his death !!!.
⁉O Muslims , will you not reason !
Don't think it's a simple thing on behalf of Allah.Allah has told us that whoever attribute Him of having a son,he is actually abusing Him (glory be to Allah).
In is narrated in the most authentic book (after the book of Allah),Al Bukhari,that :
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,
✔"Allah said, 'The son of Adam tells a lie against me though he has no right to do so, and he abuses Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that he claims that I cannot recreate him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his statement that I have offspring. No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.' (Bukhari, Vol. 6, Book 60).
⁉ How do you congratulate someone who abuses your Lord?
⁉ How do you join him in his celebration of such a thing?
⁉ How do you believe he doesn't mean to degrade Allah by doing this?
⁉ How do you feel shy of him and not from Allah?
✨✨✨✨✨✨
✔Let's think deeply and look how even non-human things react to this issue, and how they were angery defending Allah!
Allah says in surah Mariam :
"And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son" (88)You have done an atrocious thing (89)
The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation (90)
That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son (91) And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son (92)"
☄☄ Allah, who commanded us to show kindness to the christians and greet and congratulate them on the non-religious occasions,like marriage and successes.
☄ He also has commanded us not to greet or participate in their religious occasions.
I challenge those who say otherwise to come up with one piece of evidence showing that the Prophet, peace and blessing of Allah may be upon him, or any of his companions had greeted any of the Jews or the Christians on any of their religious occasions.

📜Ulama, scholars of islamic Jurisdiction, unanimously agreed that it is prohibited, Haram, to attend or imitate a non-muslim’s celebration or festival. This is ascertained by the four Imams of the four Madhhabs, Imam Abu Haneefah, Imam Malik, Imam al-Shāfi, and Imam Ibn Ḥanbal.

📜 Ibn Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, commenting on the consensus of the Ulama that greeting non-Muslims on religious occasions is prohibited, says:
“Congratulating the kuffar, non-Muslims, on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’ or ‘May you enjoy your festival, and so on. If this greeting is not considered Kufr, disbelief, it is still forbidden. It is like congratulating someone for prostrating to the cross, or even worse than that. It is as great a sin as congratulating someone for drinking wine, or murdering someone, or having illicit sexual relations, and so on. Many of those who have no respect for their religion fall into this error; they do not realize the offensiveness of their actions.
