Are you asking a question or making a statement?
If you really want an answer, let Muslims who have a bit of knowledge on their religion tell you, not some teenage brats or chat bots who only know they have to be circumcised and they can't eat pork. Islam is beyond that, pal.

Celebrating Christmas is HARAM. What? Did you think that Santa has a beard because he follows Sunna?
Christmas is a pagan holiday, so we don't celebrate it. We have our own holidays, the 2 Eid, we don't need yours. Thank you.

Most people do, they just reattribute the festival to someone or something in their own faith or give it a different meaning to them. Christmas is a prime example of that. It's actually just Yule with some Christ thrown in there so the Christians wouldn't have to quit doing Pagan and Heathen stuff, which aided in conversion. It doesn't take away from the fact it is indeed an old Pagan festival and most of the customs practiced during Christmas come directly from Germanic/Nordic Heathen traditions and Yule. Most of the world, Christian or not, STILL calls it "Yule". So, yes, I think most people do to a certain extent. Most of them just don't realize they're celebrating the festival of a different faith and/or culture than their own. So congratulations on being both open-minded and not caring what other people think about you celebrating something that means something entirely different to you without trying to hijack it for your own faith or claiming it's always been part of your faith.

I really can not believe Muslims are saying "YES". It is haraam to celebrate birthdays in Islam. They originate from pagan origins. Christmas trees date back to pagan origins and were adopted by Christians.
In Islam we only Worship one and HE is Allah(SWT)..
Celebrating Christmas is HARAAM..............
Muslims who follow the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed(SAW) do not celebrate his birthday so anyone can say what they like..Prophet Mohammed(PBUH) even has said in hadiths that he is not to be idolized because it is a form a shrik..

This is a Shiia Website, I follow the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed..
Noor I was not referring this site, someone else said this is a good site "dont believe the hype" or something.. I am saying this is not a good site and I follow the Sunnah.......
so if your a Muslim it is advisible not to visit that site..

just decided to answer this one
we don't even celebrate the birthday of our prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him
We don't participate in christian celebrations- there are various issues:
can we say "merry christmas" to them, or can we say "have a happy holiday" isn't that also participating?
can we also decorate our houses - that Q has also been raised
what about oberving them celebrate - is that okay?
when answering questions- we need to be aware of the issues involved- im not an islamic scholar or lawyer so i don't delve into answers unless i know for certain.

It's very much haram for Muslims to celebrate Christmas. It's not one of our religious holidays.

i think so; its a christian holiday, and if we dont celebrate the birthdate of the messenger of Allah, then why should we celebrate the birth of the Prophet Isa a.s, and the objective of this holiday is so lost, ppl just exchange gifts and get fat and drunk, if u r a good muslim, i dont think u would want to do that

No it's not ok to celebrate non Muslim holidays. Also it's ok if you are going to visit family but as far as celebrating the actual holiday then no it isn't allowed.

Question: Bismehi Ta'aala Alhamdolillah, there are many people in the West converting to Islam these days. An issue that comes up frequently is regarding the permissibility of celebrating holidays previously observed prior to their conversion. Often times, their families who remain non-Muslim reject them and these holidays are the only way in which they can maintain contact with their family. Or, their children may are may not have converted, or ask their parents to celebrate these holidays as a matter of conformity to the popular culture in the West. Please tell us of the permissibility of observing the following holidays by Muslims:
1. CHRISTMASS: this is the day used to observe the birthday of hazrat Issa al-Massih (Jesus Christ). Within the general culture, it has a more commercial and secular message of sharing and helping the poor than its religious connotation of trinity and partners with Allah. It is also to note the day it is observed on and some of its rituals are based directly on the pagan Roman festival of the Sun God. Is it permissible for a Muslim to: a. Wish the Christians well and give them a greeting card? b. Observe the NON-religious activities such as placing a small tree in ones house with lights and decorations? c. Attend Church with a Christian as an act of da'wah or out of curiosity?
Answer: Bismihi Ta`ala
1) a. There is no objection in sending them greeting cards upon the advent of this occasion. Yet, it should be done in such a fashion that you encourage them to adhere to the true teachings of the Prophet Jesus (a.s.) by helping and supporting those in need, living a righteous life, etc.
b. There is no objection in celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Jesus (a.s.). But putting up and decorating a Christmas tree would promote a fallacious ideology and result in imitating their culture.
c. There is no objection to that in itself as long as it does not lead to corruption.
