Ahmed4002:



If, however, one accepts the food without agreeing to the Christians’ celebration of Christmas and without having any veneration of Christmas, then the food will not be deemed to be haraam and it will be permissible for him to eat the food. This is, of course, if the food itself is not haraam.

Bro what I think is next to tell you is to fear Allah and fear the day you will meet with him.
If you feel being accepted is what defines your faith then I tell you no.
If that's how the person gives you food everyday and you accept, but also make it clear to him that you are a Muslim, you don't celebrate Christmas and you hope the food is not for the celebration.
But what is best to me is to reject any SPECIAL attention, greeting or food on this day to show you abhor the celebration. Allah knows best
Like I said earlier fear your Lord and know that he knows what is in the deepest part of your soul.

Jazakumullahu khaoran sir for the write up. Majority of we Muslims are ignorant.

Ahmed4002:
I am nonetheless appalled by the unauthentic opinions of some self claimed scholars who equate spending time with one’s non Muslim family during Christmas and the like with shirk or polytheism! This opinion is rather a mere aberration of the true authentic teachings of Islam both in letter and spirit.
Islam is a religion of mercy and it is an all encompassing value which includes all humans regardless of their religious affiliations, cultural differences and ethnic backgrounds and it encompasses plants, animals along with inanimate objects as well. In other words, the concept of mercy in Islam is so grand that it envelopes the whole universe, wouldn’t it apply one’s own mother too?
As a matter of fact, God in the Quran did not only allow us to keep ties with non-Muslim families but He raised the level of recommendation and made it an obligatory act which Muslims should abide by and this is obvious in the Quran when God said:

” But if they (your parents) endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance]…” (Quran 31:15)

In this noble verse, God commanded us to keep warm ties with our families even when they exert their utmost efforts and place pressures on us to leave our religion. So what then about those who show respect to our religious choices and do not insult our belief in any way or form? Should we not even be more eager to show extreme kindness, and envelop them with mercy in our sayings and deeds to be a real embodiment of what Islam is all about?
Muslims show utter love to God’s creation in general as a sign of reverence to their divine origin and Islam placed unprecedented importance to the concept of high morals and made a unique connection between good ethical standards and between faith and creed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said

“The nearest of you to me in the Day of Judgment are the ones who have the highest morals”. Therefore we are commanded to show kindness to all people, and to treat them with mercy and love, and to refrain from discriminating against them based on their religious choices, cultural backgrounds, or the like.
There is no legal impediment to participating in celebrating the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him). Islam is an open system and its followers believe, respect and honor all the prophets and messengers, and treat the followers of other religions with kindness in accordance to the words of God the Almighty:

“And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except in the best way.” (Quran 29:46)

Jesus the son of Mary, peace be upon him, is one of the Prophets who are characterized with determination, resolution and patience. Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] said:

“I am more entitled to Jesus the son of Mary than anyone in this life and in the Hereafter; no prophet has been sent between us.”

Every Muslim believes that Jesus is a human prophet who performed great miracles, such as reviving the dead and curing the sick by the will of God the Almighty.
This was not because he was a god or the son of God in the sense of physical procreation—God is exalted above this. Celebrating the day of the birth of Jesus is an act of belief regardless of Christian convictions in his regard. Therefore, participate in your friends and family’s celebrations, eat with them and refrain from eating pork and drinking alcohol with tact and civility. Do not pay any attention to anyone who wants to ruin the relation between you and your family and others in the name of Islam because Islam is free from all of this.

Brother thanks for your write up but...
Islam like you said is a religion of tolerance and love
Won't it be beneficial by defining this tolerance
What you are saying in another way is that when the Ogun people are doing their festival or better still when a herbalist prepare rituals at their place of worship one can actually eat with him
If not then the same applies to christmas
On the tolerance and love, Islam has actually legalised the eating of Christians and Jews food so far it's their day in day out food and for their meats just saying bismillahi will suffice.
But when the food is attributed to sango, Ogun and Christmas festivals then it becomes haram(forbidden).
On the Christmas, you can read about the origin which I believe will do you a lot of good, reason why even some sect of the Christians don't celebrate it.
It's not a Christian festival rather a pagan festival adopted into Christianity.
Historically, biblically jesus was not born on the 25th. Of Dec.
Like you said as Muslims we believe in jesus as a prophet born of miraculous birth, did miraculous tins but not as a son of God.
Allah told us that he can forgive all sins if he wishes but he will never forgive shirk if the person doesn't repent before he dies. And also he said indeed my prayers, SACRIFICES, my life and my death is for Allah the Lord of mankind. Peace.

mrtopeqs:



Oga, I'm not here to down your morale but I go with what she meant, it's unnecessary in this case, this is a social platform and people should be able to get your opinion fast even if you use the thesaurus in every word and you're not understood it's just a waste of effort..........
even hon Patrick is sometimes taken as a joke cos he hardly use his English to communicate, I remember a video about him giving a speech at unilag, most student were just hailing or hyping him cos of his English I don't even think they got the message he was passing through.

to communicate, the one you're passing your message through to must comprehend what you're saying but the moment the receiver dont understand you then I think such communication is lost.

it's just my opinion though, abeg no take am too harsh for my body

Who talk say im no Comprehend? Instead make u take biro dey jot new words

Infact would have preferred not hearing anything concerning this Wednesday.. Come dey wait since

duke59:
