Jesus too did similarly in your Bible!

Abraham did same as well as many others. They slammed head as you said.

If you need verses just reply. So let you abuse be on them too.
Jesus bowed down, i bowed down too this morning. Guess what?? None of us did facing a meteor rock. Lol!! Infact we can bow down to any direction, anyday anytime time and our prayers will be 100%. Valid. I dare you to do same Abdul

Let me educate you bro

Truly, Jesus was not born in December but we celebrate Christmas every December because it's the last month of the year

Now, people choose any date to celebrate their birthday (we've seen people born in January but celebrated their birthday in the month of February)

You can choose any date or month to celebrate your birthday

Angel of God visited Mary in the month of June to tell her that she will gives birth to Christ

Christian chooses December 25th to celebrate birth of Christ & not that Jesus was born in the month of December

Abeg who chose 25 December as the day of celebration?

Can't you see that Santa is just an advance masquerade?

It is surely idolatrous!

What Does "Boxing Day" Mean?

When i first heard the term, "boxing day", what first came to mind was boxing, as in, people throwing real punches at each other, as the likes of Mohammed Ali did in a boxing ring, but I wondered what that could possibly have to do with Christmas since it was a Christmas holiday.

It was not until until I came to realize that "boxing" actually meant packing things, such as, gift items into a box, and not people exchanging punches in a ring, that it began to make sense to me, since Christmas was synonymous with distribution of gifts, so probably that day was set aside to "box" such gifts during Christmas.

Some of the beneficiaries of such gifts are the poor and the needy, as Christmas is a time of the year many set aside to distribute gifts to the poor and needy, because they view it as a season of sharing, caring, giving and showing love.

It's a good gesture from such ones that they remember the poor and needy and distribute gifts to them at such a time, however what they should also realize is that Christmas is not the only time the poor and needy were in need of such things, therefore they don't have to wait til it's Christmas to help them.

They can help them anytime of the year, whenever they're in the position to help, because some of the poor and needy may not be able to survive til Christmas if they have to wait til then to get what they need.

So as we box our Christmas gifts to distribute to those in need today on boxing day, let us also remember that they need our help not just on boxing day, but everyday of the year.

God bless.
the day u unbox the gift of Christmas

It's simple. Our God directed us to do so through His Prophet.

Now this wasn't so hard was it? Now that you have said that, i will leave you alone. I'll respect you and your worship. I see you alot on nairaland here and insecurity make you fumble alot. If someone asks you a question about Islam, answer it outrightly and stop running, it really paints you and your religion bad. I was once a Muslim too guy, i am 29 years old, and i just left islam like 6months back. I know how you feel but try make you dey dey straight forward with your answer,nobody go beat you.
