Obviously lots do, whether they are invited by a friend or their spouse celebrates it. But what about a person that just celebrates it because they like the holiday: trees, decorations, ect.
My neighbor is an Orthodox Jew and she celebrates Christmas alone, she says she dose because Christmas really came from Pagans/Druids ect and that Jesus really has nothing to do with Christmas.

And why does it seem to be OK for Jewish people to celebrate Christmas but it isn't OK for non-Jewish people to celebrate Hanukah.

I never hear Silent Night or Hark the Herald Angels sing on the radio. Just Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer and Rockin around the Christmas tree.

To all the Suni, Syiah and all other sects, let us just stop arguing about who's right & wrong about interpretations of Quran & hadiths, practices & choice of Imams.

I just want your sincere reply on this question.

Or what is the ultimate objective of our religion, Islam?

Yes, you all please let me know as you are the Khalifah of this world.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

Please share a verse from the quran that has a powerful meaning to you.
I know every single ayah is powerful, but just give one that stands out the most to you.

My aunt passed away this spring-she and i LOVED Christmas. I could go on and on about the memories. Her husband and sister ( my mom) have decided that since she isn't here, they aren't even going to acknowledge Christmas. My thoughts are--it;s even more the reason to celebrate-she loved it so much. We usually draw names, but this year I decided I'm going to get everyone something because that's what my aunt would have wanted. I also moved far away this year, so i won't even be around my family for the holidays. Any thoughts? Am I doing the right thing?
Thanks, guys!

Surely, all believers are (Ikhwa) brothers and sisters. So make peace between your brothers and sisters, and fear Allah that mercy may be shown to you.

And hold fast, all together, to the rope of Allah and be not divided; and remember the favour of Allah which He bestowed upon you when you were enemies and He united your hearts in love, so that by His grace you became as brothers; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah explain to you His commandments that you may be guided.

Holy Quran

Imagine this, it is afternoon on the day of Ashura. Imam al-Hussain (AS) is standing on the blood-drenched soil of Karbala in the heat of the scorching sun waiting to meet his beloved. His head is wounded and blood is streaming slowly down his holy face soaking his blessed beard. He looks around, searching for members of his family and his companions, only to find them brutally slaughtered and slain like sacrificial lambs, lying there on the ground soaked in blood. He hears the innocent crying and wailing of the children and the women. Tears flow down his holy face. He takes a piece of cloth to wipe the blood from his face, whereupon an archer from the army of Yazid (may Allah’s curse be upon him) shoots a triple-headed arrow, which lodges into Imam al-Hussain’s (AS) heart.

He pulls out the arrow causing blood to gush out. The Holy Imam is thirsty, he cries: “O God, I am thirsty”, in the meantime another man approaches and shoots an arrow which thrusts into Imam al-Hussain’s (AS) throat quenching his thirst. Hilal bin Nafi’ was reported as saying: “By God I never saw a person getting killed with his own blood all over his body in a better state than al-Hussain. I was so overwhelmed by the radiance of his face that I refrained from contemplating killing him”. Even when the accursed Shimr approached Imam al-Hussain (AS) to severe his blessed head, he said: “When I approached Hussain ibn Ali and my eyes fell on him, the light of his face so gripped me that I forgot my intention to kill him”. It is reported that when Imam al-Hussain was killed, the sky rained down blood. It has been recorded that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (AS) has said:

“…For no one the heavens wept for forty days save Yahya and Hussain…”

Show me such a spectacle of human greatness in an event other than Karbala and I will commemorate its memory instead of Karbala! How can someone hear all this and not cry and mourn, even those who are not Muslims shed tears when they hear this tragedy. Even the heavens wept for Imam al-Hussain (AS). Let me ask you a question, if a Muslim cries over the passing away of their own relatives, then how can they not cry over the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (SAW)?

The Tragedy of Karbala was no ordinary tragedy and Imam Husayn was no ordinary revolutionary for he was the grandson of the holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. For oppressed communities worldwide regardless of religion, gender or race, the tragedy of Karbala forms a model, a benchmark. Karbala signifies a lesson that human beings should never submit to tyranny, oppression and falsehood. Silence in the face of transgression is synonymous to the acceptance of injustice.

Husayn's heroism set a firm standard against despotism forever. It sent a message to all corners of the world that although he was finally massacred in battle; he and his most loyal companions were victorious. It was in the name of Husayn that the oppressive government he fought was toppled some 70 years following his death, and the true Islamic teachings of peace, justice and submission to God exists today.


The tragedy of Karbala is a reminder not only for Muslims, but for mankind to rise up to seek positive reform in the face of resignation.

Thomas Carlyle, a 19th century Scottish historian said, "The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Husayn and his companions were the rigid believers of God. They illustrated that numerical superiority does not count when it comes to truth and falsehood. The victory of Husayn despite his minority marvels me!"

Mahatma Gandhi - Said: “I learned from Hussain how to be wronged and be a winner.”

you're going shopping for the holidays and you ask the people on your list, "What do you want me to get you?" And they say, "Oh, I don't know." or "I'm not sure."

Grr. It angers me. I got some money today and I called the last four people on my list asking what they wanted. And I got the same response. Does this frustrate you?
