"MUSLIMS DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!"

The Christians celebrate Christmas day, as a day on which according to their erroneous belief, Jesus (pbuh), the son of God was born.

Mind the words in the bold letter. The Christians don’t celebrate Christmas day as a day in which Allah’s prophet Jesus (pbuh) was born, but instead, they celebrate the birth of the son of God.

When you celebrate Christmas or say Merry Christmas, you are testifying their erroneous belief of Jesus (pbuh) being the son of God. And this is a grave sin.

By doing so, you are giving Shahadah, to their sinful belief.

Now go through this:

Al-Qur'an, Surah Maryam 19 verse 88-92

Verse 88: They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

Verse 89: Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

Verse 90: At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,

Verse 91: That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.

Verse 92: For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.

Look at these verses. It clearly shows Allah’s anger on the one who says that Allah has begotten a son. Allah says that those who say that Allah has begotten a son have said the most monstrous thing ever to Allah.

So, it's our duty to prohibit ourselves from saying such monstrous things, as well as prohibit ourselves from helping those who do so.

Mind it, that our love for Allah(swt) should be greater than our love for anyone else. Don't think that if you don't attend the Christmas party or wish your friends Merry Christmas, then your friends will get to think bad about you.

Just for the sake of pleasing your friends and keeping your relation better with your friends, you cannot let Allah(swt) to be abused and your relationship with the best of friends i.e Allah to deteriorate.
