keep shut Abdul

Mohamed birthday no reach half of Christmas so we know where your salt tears is coming from

Jesus was heralded as a king on his birth, we worship him in songs, hymns, dance, keeping Sabbath.

Any date that would further be set aside by the world to honour him is all acts of glorification when done genuinely
Dec. 25 wasn’t assigned to be the date of Christ’s birth until about 300 years after He was born. Why, you may ask, would this date have been chosen so long after the fact?

Dec. 25 was chosen to encourage followers of a variety of pagan religions that celebrated that day to convert to Christianity. Those pagan celebrations included the Roman Saturnalia and the birthday of the Persian god Mithra.
Stop blackmailing Jesus with paganism festival.

you are ignorant

Again answer me, Did Jesus command the flamboyant Triumphant entry in Jerusalem?
In your ignorance you ignored Jesus Christ's own words which explain to you in the same context that is the triumphant entry that it was as prophesied by God Himself through His prophets. undecided

Technically, the very origin of Christmas/Xmas is pagan in nature. Most churches know this but they all just choose to stick to it thinking they have washed a pagan celebration clean by celebrating it as Christians.

The pagan idea of Christmas was not to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, it was to share gift and celebrate and have fun.

Then the Church took it up and change it to celebration of Jesus Christ. It is an highly unchallenged fact that Jesus Christ was not born on 25th of december.

It reminds me of my wonderful childhood memories; eating jollof rice in our house filled with other children, drinking Coke, dad usually take us out to amusement parks, etc. cheesy cheesy

Now that I've become a father, I've realized how important Christmas is to children. My children have been jumping about the house happily because of the Christmas chickens their mum bought (feeding it and playing with it). They have been dragging the Christmas tree and light as well. For me, that's priceless! cheesy cheesy

PS- I'm a staunch muslim.
Wow wow just wow I wish all Muslims are like you people like you are very rare

I'm sure you are not a Muslim. No Muslim with correct knowledge celebrates pegan festivals. Xmas has nothing to do with our beloved Jesus the Messiah ( Isah Al-Massih, Pbuh ). We love Jesus in our hearts as Muslims but we have got nothing to do with pegan, unislamic and unscriptural festivals. Thank u.

lol, foolishness is bliss to you

Christmas on 25th has been celebrated since 336AD centuries ago

Educate your sorry self, I wonder why you Muslims are obsessed with this date on Christian's behalf after all you don't see us as different from pagans to start with

So why don't you study the foolishness of how the Muslim tradition of rounding black stone naked, stoning the devil was a pagan affair of the qurash which the copy paste Mohammed himself stole

you don't know Jesus, you only know isah which copy paste Mohammed told you off

Isah isn't Jesus so get that into your head, Mohammed the fraud that didn't exist when Christianity existed shouldn't tell you otherwise

I wonder why Muslims are more interested in Christmas than their malaud, create your own isah date and stop crying salt

Pagan Festival but now appropriated by Christians!
Of course, wasn't that how the Israelites did in Exodus 32:4-5, when they tried to appropriate paganism into true worship? We all know how God reacted to it. Doesn't Romans 15:4 tell us that that event is a lesson to us Christians today? Hell yeah cool cool

Here we go with the fanaticism and extremism! The moment you referred to Jesus as 'Isah Al-Massih' your foolish.ness became obvious. For the record, Prophet Muhammed (SAW) once said; 'All prophets are brothers and their religion is one and the same'. Cogitate on that you fanatic!

Secondly, there's no celebration that you extremists will find any justification for simply because of your flawed and screwed up mentality. This one is Bid'ah, that one is Bid'ah. Una no dey tire ni? Even the Saudis who are the custodians of Islam will declare Christmas & New Year Day as public holiday but it's you holier than thou extremists in Nigeria who probably can't afford 10kg of rice that will be hyper-ventilating. See, it's too early to start all this rofo-rofo argument with you guys, just stay your lane and let me enjoy my chicken in my house biko.

Thirdly, cooking rice and chicken in my house on Christmas day does not in any way translate to me adopting Christianity. As a matter of fact, I'll take both my wife and children out to a nice place later in the day to make them feel happy (provided you fanatics don't come and bomb the place).

PS- your reply does not in any way surprise me because there are even Christians who believe that celebrating Christmas is a sin. All of you extremists are like bungalows; you have nothing upstairs. angry angry

Do you have any Bible verse that shows that xmas is about celebrating Jesus?
Children of pagans hiding under Christianity to blackmail Jesus with xmas.
Neither Jesus non of his disciples or early Christians ever celebrate xmas.
Christians should stop blackmailing Jesus with paganism festivals.
, This is a challenge to you, give us the biblical verse, where Jesus celebrate it

Yes. Why do you celebrate Christmas?
For some, Christmas is the time to fornicate, take hard drugs, go clubing and do all manner of evil just because they want to "celebrate". The true essence of Christmas has no meaning to a lot of so-called christians.

Some even ask for gifts, as if, they're the reason for Christmas. Christmas's ought to be the time of thanks giving. The time of appreciation to God in purity and holiness. While, some call Christmas Xmass. I've heard people say Christmas is for children. How pathetic!

We've bastardize the true essence of Christmas and turned it to a party-scartter bruhaha. We celebrate Christmas to intimidate , and mock those who we feel don't have as much as we. A lot of folks will be very unhappy just because they couldn't afford chicken, or bag of rice as if that is the reason to celebrate.

So I ask again, why do you celebrate Christmas?
I don't celebrate Christmas.

itslinkin4005:
I don't celebrate Christmas.
Of course, I don't want either, but if I have the choice to choose between a masquerade and Xmas, I'll cut Xmas and go for the former for transparency sake...

A Muslim penfriend from Yemen asked me about Xmas recently, see our chats:

"Pal: My bro
Pal: Congratulations for Christmas

Me: Oh, thanks bro. Although, I don't worship Xmas idol. It's not of Jesus but men (professing christians)...

It's a wolf in sheep's clothing...

Pal: Aha
Pal: Can you clarify it

Me: Ok bro... Xmas is not scriptural—it's originally from a pagan worship of the sun (Nimrod).

It's a religious festival made by religious men: it's not in the Bible. Although, they try to call it the birthday of Jesus...

Jesus came to the world as a man, left his position as the Son of God to shed his blood and die for our sins, because before they usually used the blood of animals. But that could only *cover* sins. But only the blood of Jesus can *wash away* sins completely so that a person can enter God's kingdom if he Repents, believes and obey Jesus' words according to the new testament scriptures before judgement hour.

It was after I had terrible crisis in my life and almost died, and I began to Repent and ask Jesus for mercy that I began to wake up to realize these things... *I used to believe all the christmas Nonsense...*

So, nobody knows the exact date Jesus was born, and he didn't command his disciples to celebrate any such thing. He rather warned against such things that people will do in his name (Matthew chapter 24).

The fact that Xmas has a lot of lies or deceptions in it shows it's from the devil not God. Cos the devil is called the father of liars. Xmas deceives people especially children...

May you get light bro...

Thank you."


God bless.

Maolud Nabiyi is a bida that is an innovation into Islam recently by some gullible individuals who doesn't understand the pillar of Islam. Maolud nabiyi is an haram that is forbidden in Islam.
Islamically birthday celebration are forbidden.
