Aamin.

Also It is extremely destestable to eat Christmas food as we don't believe in:

1. Jesus as God.
2. Jesus as son of God.
3. God being born.
4. Celebration of birthdays.
5. Celebration of idolatrous paganism adapted in Christianity! Shout up u Muslim na una do juju pass why all this Alfa’s they do soaps to those yahoo boys I have them a lot in my area here no Dey cap vertical u Muslim think ur religion is the best yet most of terrorist in the whole world are Muslim look at boko haram they kill who doesn’t practice they’re religion is that a peaceful religion how many times have you heard that Christian kill non Christian for not be a Christian whenever u Muslim celebrate ur festival the Christian always wish u but when it comes to Christian festival u will always say is haram I wish Muslim religion cancel in the whole world cuz it’s not a peaceful religion violence religion

Know that some Christians don't celebrate Christmas. And some say its origin is pagan/idolatry.

If you give me food on any day without attaching birthdays, Christmas, Maolid, Kufr, Shirk, Bid'ah, haram to it.
In this category too is the popular and innocent beans cooked to appease twins birth! Abeg, no chop am!

Early Muslims, like Mohammed, got protected by Christians in Ethiopia when he and his followers were persecuted in mecca.

That's how early Muslims related with non-Muslims
Did they join the Christians in their worship or festivals?

You are mistaken. I am not looking for love and respect. Go back to the initial comment.
So, what are you looking for? Validation.

I am a Christian and my Muslim friends joined my family in celebrating Christmas.

No true Muslim will attack Christians.

Even your quran ask you to seek knowledge from Christians

That your so-called muslim friends join you in your festival is no proof.

Yes, no true Muslim attacks Christians. Also, no true muslim compromises his religion because of Christians.

No, Qur'an never asked Muslims to seek knowledge from Christians. You're misquoting verses.

Of what use is that? We follow the Qu'ran and Sunnah not Saudi Arabia!
Even the people the Quran was supposedly handed over to before they share with us, don't do what you said

Those verses you quoted doesn't justify your preaching.
Im a Muslim too, though I don't believe in the christain way of celebrating Jesus but that doesn't render me from not showing gratitude when they show me love.
I fear for your kind who sugar quote the holybook to your own personal goal.
Allah said,

“If you express gratitude, I shall certainly give you more, and if you are ungrateful, then My punishment is severe.” (Quran, 14:7)
When a christain gives you food on Christmas day, it's not with the intention to make you convert to christains but with the intention to make you understand that there's love amongst us leaving together in a society.

Everyone's God-given human dignity must be respected, regardless of his or her faith, race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status (ref. Qur'an, 17:70). Because everyone is created by God Almighty, the Maker of all, humans must treat one another with full honor, respect, and loving-kindness.

Please desist from extremist behaviour.
People like you can't speak against the killing of blasphemers even though the Quran clearly stated that Allah would punish blasphemers. Your extremist behaviour has made the evil get the better of you to the point of quoting a wrong verse to justify a negative content.
You shouldn't be called a Muslim if you share that idea you posted cos the Prophet believed in love and peace. It was his love and peace that made the Arabs admire Arabs nd accept Islam not your kind of hypocrisy.

AlhamduliLLAAH wa ssalaat wa ssalaam a'la nabiyy.

May Allaah guide you and I to that which pleases him in sayings and actions. May Allaah rectify you and us upon that which is truth.

Brother, if you had comprehend the Brother it will have been better before you twist his noble stance that various Sunni scholars are upon. Know surely everyone will account for his deeds and those you seek to please with the blackmail of that Brother won't be able to save you from your Lord if your action is devoid of ikhlas.

If sincerity was your watchword there won't be need for tagging his stance as extremist view except you are ignorant of the teachings of Islam.

I won't need to explain to you why your stance is very wrong because your writings are devoid of scholarly views.

Assalamualaykum

I'm a Muslim and I don't understand this thread.
How do you want people to respect your religion and believe when you refused to accept the love they show you? The same christian that accommodate Muslim during struggle. Eating Christmas food doesn't covert you to christian.
Practice your religion and let others practice their own. Your level of tolerance, respect and appreciation can make them accept Islam.

May Allaah honor you.
This is entirely different topic on acceptance of food and the likes. There are differing opinions on this but celebrating and greetings is a NO

My brother Islam is not about copying Saudi Arabia. In Islam nobody was instructed to use Saudi as his yardstick. If they are right, good for them, if they go wrong, they are on their own, it's forbidden to follow them if they go wrong



Pls brother kindly stay tuned to Al- Arabiya need Chanel or any other Saudi news channel on the even of the new year.
You will hear them congratulate each other..
Pls do this

You mean Nigeria Muslims that carry religion on their heads I live in Arabic country, infact most of my Christmas gifts came from muslim friends, most of them even sent their merry Christmas messages , I saw their children celebrating with their friends, infact u hardly see them dressing their children in Arabic way, their women dress modest unlike the masquerade we have in Nigeria, we recently celebrate Christmas carnival in my community, the owner of the tower is local , a muslim, he came with his family and friends in father Christmas clothes .. these Muslims are modest they tolerate others are have ungraded from 1217Bc style of Islam.. only this shit hole of a country they cut ppl heads because of religion

100percent agree with you brother may Allah strengthen our iman and answer our prayers some of our brothers and sisters are extreme about our religion and they believe they know everything which is very bad if you mean it's Haram to take in Christmas food from Christians, it will definitely mean haram for christians to consume sallah foods too, Abeg that's really bad to imagine because in Arab and Israel nobody cares of your religion all they care is don't just disobey their laws but in Nigeria people take religion too extreme both Muslims and Christians.

Nobody is forcing you to eat anybody's food or celebrating with them. Just don't generalized your ideology to entire Muslim worlds.
Allah has made it clear is Q5:5. So far the food is halal, not pork, dogs or any other fool a Muslim is not permitted to eat I'll always eat my christian neighbors food and show them love whenever they have things to celebrate. That way they will see the beauty of Islam in me

You use your own response to confirm what you are trying to deny. grin

Who are the people of the Book? Christians, right? grin

You confirmed that the Quran ask Mohammed to CONFIRM stories from Christians, which means the Christians have the absolute, superior truth reliable enough to serve as a CONFIRMATION!

Oga, stop attacking the Truth. Opposing Christians in anyway makes you an enemy of the Quran.

The truth is open now. You can't hide it from people anymore.

Lols.

The Christians are not the people of the book rather those that received revelations before prophet Muhammed.

Your argument is baseless. The people of the book are Muslims before they disobeyed the prophet, that is why there is a verse in the Qur'an that said some of the people of the book will make heaven.

How does confirming a story means a thing is superior. So, if we are discussing something and I refer you to Darwin's book or a book that is old, does that mean the science in the book is superior to the present?

Oga, rest.

And lastly, we can refer the Jews and Christians of today as people of the book because they're the offspring of Abraham that received the revelation.

Allah says in the Qu'ran many times "Obey Allah and his Messenger.."
Not once did the Qu'ran say we should obey one Arabic channel or Saudi Arabia.

Your argument remains illogical.

The amount of hate speech in this thread from the OP and the likes of @Antichristian, @beardedboy is enough to earn y'all a place on the anti-terror watch list of many serious nations. Are we not terrorized enough by radical Islam? Why can't we focus on real issues confronting us, hindering our development?

Quran told you Muslims to go to Christians if you get confused about your own religion.

You, therefore, can't know better than Christians.

Where did the Qu'ran say it exactly as you put it?
