Islam Question

Do Muslims celebrate christmas?

It's me again with another question :D I know that Muslims revere Jesus as a major prophet and believe in the virgin birth and in the angel Gabriel and everything so do you celebrate Christmas?

as well as the fact that we are not allowed to imitate the celebrations of non muslims, we do not believe that Jesus was born on the 25th of december anyway

Hi! Awesome question. ^-^

I get asked this frequently, and what I know through my experience is that it depends on the person.
Some Muslims have a dinner on Christmas to celebrate the birth of Prophet Jesus (May peace and blessings be upon him), even though there is debate as to the actual date of his birth.
Other Muslims don't really do anything, but they acknowledge the day.
It's more or less the same with the Prothet Muhammad's (May peace and blessings be upon him) birthday.
At the dinners, we do a special prayer for them.

I hope this helped! :)

The answer, is obviously no.
We don't believe in Santa Claus (no offense if you do).
Our god is Allah.
We recite Al-Quran.

But when Christmas comes, what I do is just watch the awesome Christmas movies...but I still won't celebrate it. I would also greet my fellow Fanpoppers and I will throw the a Christmas surprise this year. :D

Everything the Christ did was just a waste of time...BUT I respect what they do.

Hope I helped! ^^

there is no Christmas celebration in Islam some r say it's forbidden but some Muslims do celebrate the Christmas not because the Jesus's birthday (with all the respect to Jesus {peace upon him}) but because the beginning of the new year

no , Muslims do not celebrate Christmas because Muslims believe in one Allah, also by celebrating Christmas they mean that christ/jesus was born on 25th of December...which is not true...and as you know they call jesus their god (na'ausubellah) by celebrating christmas they mean that god was born on that day, so if Muslims will celebrate it, their meaning will be the same and this gets into the category of Shirk and Shirk is Kufr, those who do Shirk are not good muslims and Allah does not like those who do Shirk, also those who do Shirk will go to hell
so if you celebrated Christmas before, pray for forgiveness and never do it again

may God bless you ^_^

No, of course not. We are Muslim and we should follow our religion not theirs.
