brother congratulating d kuffar on their disbelieve n shirk is unislamic/haram weda dey r ur frnds or family bcus dey r blaspheming Allah. Even when dey congratulate u, u shld not respond. no scholar from the companions, or d ilustrious imams(Rahimahullah) said is permissible to say merry xmas, happy nu year or easther, seasons greatings etc cus its like congratulating dem on their kufr. U can show dem luv every oda day bt on THAT DAY i.e xmas n d like when dey blasphem Allah, it isn't permisible. We as muslims must b stronge agaisnt kufr n shld show respect, tolerant, politeness to d disbelievers n invite dem to al-islam bt we mst not submit to participtg/congratulatg dem in shaa Allah. May Allah guide us all, ameen.

hadbak: Even when dey congratulate u, u shld not respond.

can you explain this statement.

when who congratulates who?

i dont think a christian would be congratulating a muslim in this scenario, or maybe i dont get your meaning.

or do you mean if a christian greets a muslim happy ramadan, ramadan kareem, eid mubarak, happy eid el fitri, etc, the muslim should not respond?

I doubt i've ever seen such, sounds very strange, but i guess it can happen.

Salam alaykum brothers and sisters.
@ OP: where in the Qur'an did u read that Allaah(SWT) said "we can marry christians and jewish women and even eat their food"? Muslims speak and act based on facts and evidences, not on our personal sentiments or opinons. In Qur'an 2: 221, Allaah says "And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you".
*And that 'the Prophet (SAW) visited his jewish neighbour who was ill', did u read that he congratulated them or celebrated with them on christmas day?
Mind u, neither ur muslim name; that u have a muslim family background; nor even the fact that u attended a "College of Islamic theology" make you a muslim. Islam is not a birthright. You only become a muslim by consciously and deliberately accepting what has been brought and taught by the Prophet (SAW), and act accordingly. I'll advise u get proper knowledge of the Deen before claiming to speak for it or represent it especially in public. Ignorance abt d Deen is dangerous. Like Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdudi said in his book LET US BE MUSLIMS that "A person who is totally unaware of the difference between Islam and Kufr, and the incongruity between Islam and Shirk is like someone walking along a track in complete darkness. Most likely his steps will wander aside or on to another path without him knowing what is happening. This example shows that your greatest danger lies in your ignorance of Islamic teachings and in your unawareness of what the Qur'an teaches and what guidance has been given by the Prophet(SAW).
May Allaah(SWT) count us among those whom He has guided. Ameen

aminho: and who told you am not a Muslim?my name is Muhammad musa amshi So get your facts right

Funny u

Deen4me: @ AMINHO

You failed to give any proof or evidence to back up your claim that Islam tells us to wish Christians a Merry Xmas.

Here is what the Quran Says about the concept of Xmas

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"
Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
As if the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin.
That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.
For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son
Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant.

Quran 19. 88 - 93


Greeting someone Merry Xmas means implicitly that you accept or approve of the action or rituals of disbelieve (kufr) in the oneness of Allah

In is out of respect of Allah Prophet ISA (Jesus) and the teachings of the Rasul Peace be Upon them, that we as muslims reject the falsehood that they proclaim.


Allah does not begat nor was he beggotten. Quran 112

Prophet Isa (Jesus) AS was not born on 25th of Dec ( http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/117239/church-year/67665/Christmas )


Arewa has enough problems than to worry about saying merry xmas to xtians, like solving the multitude of child beggars and sending them to school.

I suggest you learn about Islam before you pass judgement on what you have no knowledge about

We as muslims are not to be found encouraging or congratulating someone for disbelieve

The sooner xtians realise that its out of respect that we don't do such , the better the understanding among the various religions.


And Allah Knows best

No, i strongly disagree with u.
Ok then why dont u simply accept d fact that we christians also advocate that WE DONT SERVe the same God cos we bliv dt God is not the author of confusion. If u do d same den u dont av to bother about wt we blv about jesus nd definitely if u do choose to say merry xmas to som1 dt dosnt mean u r acceptn, reconin or aprovin anitin..its wt u bliv in ur heart that matters. Afterall we xtains do say barka de salah, api ramadan and d rest despite d fact dat we dont kw wat dey really mean, the word is tolerance as some1 rightly said
U see we av to accept dat we two different religions live togethr in d same country and d only way we can coexist is to accept dat we bliv different things and live in tolerance wt one anodr ,nd love one anodr despite all differences as i bliv islam also teaches.

A very interesting topic.

Since JESUS wasn't born on the 25 of december,it's wrong to join in celebrating d false believe.
If one greets them on their celebration by saying merry christmas,it means he/she suports d false claim
