Why Muslims Do Not Celebrate Christmas & New Year Allah تعالى strongly warns against beliefs that associate partners with Him: ﴿تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا • أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدًا﴾ “The heavens almost rupture, the earth splits open, and the mountains collapse in devastation because they claim that the Most Merciful has taken a son.” 📖 (Qur’an 19:90–91) And Allah says: ﴿قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ • اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ • لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ • وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ﴾ Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Self-Sufficient. He neither begets nor is born. And there is none comparable to Him.” 📖 Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ (112) The Prophet ﷺ also said: “مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ” “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” 📚 (Abu Dawud) 🔹 Christmas is founded upon beliefs that contradict Tawḥīd. 🔹 New Year celebrations often involve imitation of non-Islamic religious customs and actions displeasing to Allah. 🕊️ Islam does not teach hatred, but it teaches clarity of belief and firmness upon truth. ✨ Allah has honored the Muslims with two Eids, which are sufficient and better. 📿 Let us protect our ʿAqīdah, hold firmly to Tawḥīd, and raise our families upon the Qur’an and Sunnah.
