      It's a great idea. But just make sure there is no distracting items e.g. colorful stuff like lights or beautiful patterns in front for prayer mat. Cuz there's a hadith that Prophet PBUH asked his wife to take away a green cloth? or curtain which was infront of him as it was a source of distraction in his prayers.

    I fear that Ramadan will end up being a comercialized holiday with its recent acknowledgement from non-Muslims and mix-up of holidays by Muslims. Companies will start to use it as a way of selling their products and people may fall into buying useless stuff for Ramadan, like expensive decorations and abundant gifts to those who do not need them. We should keep the tradition of making Ramadan a month of forgiveness, charity, and self-improvement. It should never become a month of showing off how much we can spend. May Allah help us all.

      im sorry, but as long as u raise ur kids in place A which has a generally contrasting culture from your _family's_ background originating from place B, they _will very likely_ catch on more easily and willingly to the culture from place A, regardless of how much you want them to be involved in their roots. its just a simple fact. not saying thats 100% how it will turn out with every family but _generally_ it works that way. unless you bring them back to your place B and raised them there for their schooling years, then return to place A for like college or something eventually, maybe it be easier that way to condition them into ur culture.
      nonetheless I wish you luck in doing so.

    I converted to Islam young with my mom. Most of my family is Christian and I totally agree with the tree part that it’s totally imitating a Christmas tree but I didn’t even consider 30 days of Ramadan treats or deeds in the little masjid shaped calendar as being a copy of the advent calendar. I had never even seen or heard of advent calendars until I was an adult on social media. I also thought people decorated with wreaths seasonally like a spring wreath etc. I don’t make an immediate connection with wreaths and Christmas etc. I guess it depends on your intentions and your knowledge but I definitely agree with you on the tree. What is your personal opinion about lights? I see people decorating with lights even in Muslim countries
would people consider that an imitation of Christmas lights as well? I guess it’s all so difficult because somethings like the tree seems like clear obvious imitation while some other things seem to be in a gray area depending on one’s individual experiences. May Allah guide us all.

    The ramadan calender I use personally as a revert for my children.

    Some Muslims are turning Ramadan into a festival to celebrate.
    Ramadan is not about that at all. It's about fasting, restraining yourself from comitting sins, withholding yourself from displeasing Allah (especially while fasting), giving up gossiping, watching bad things, or listeing to music.
    Ramadan is the time when Muslims get close to Allah by spending most of their time in praying that also counts reciting Quran, praying Taraweeh (long prayer after Isha) and giving charity .
    It's not Christmas, or Diwali. May Allah guide us all.

    Asalammu aleekum an informative vid JazakAllah khair. However it’s not just about copying the Christian traditions because all the traditions actually originate further back to the pagans and winter solstice. They used to light a fir tree as a symbol of light after dark winters. The advent calendar has symbolic of winter solstice too (they didn’t have a calendar with chocs in obviously but the run up to the solstice they would decorate and make preparations.
    I know a lot of Muslims think it’s ok because the Christians are people of the book or it’s just a bit of fun but may not be so quick to even decorate when they know it’s actually pagan.
    I was a Roman Catholic and my family are so am not intending to offend or take away from their traditions. However historical facts of Easter and Christmas go back to pagans. I studied this for a long time before I reverted Alhamdulilah. Allah knows best ❀

    I think it is important to remember that everyone has good intentions.
    This is a good discussion.
    It is completely inappropriate to label something as haram however if it is not haram. Only Allah can decide what is haram.
    It is fine to say that you don’t agree with it or don’t Think it is going to be a productive idea or even that you think it might be offensive to Christians.
    I found it interesting to think about the things that were presented in the comments.
    Everyone is trying to navigate living with Islam in the west. To be fair, we should probably look at what European Muslims have been doing for the past 1000 years as they have been living as Muslims in the west for a very long time. In Bosnia, Macedonia, etc. Albania.
    I like to look at the evidence.
    Hajj was Originally a pagan ritual. It was changed, and re-purposed with some modifications and is now a Muslim ritual. A very important one.
    In addition, the sacrifice of Abraham is, of course, originally an old testament story and therefore, a Judeo Christian story and ritual. It is now a big part of Islam.
    So The evidence shows that prophet Muhammad himself, incorporated prior customs and traditions, and repurposed then as Muslim ones by adapting them and giving them an Islamic expression .
    This leads me to believe that it is OK to do the same as long as we are repurposing things in an Islamic way.
    Is it dangerous to allow our children to adopt these things? Will it lead them in the wrong direction?
    That is a different question. And every family is working in the way they see best to address this. It’s fine to express our opinions about it. But let’s not call it haram when it is not. Let’s be open and say that we are all expressing our own opinions as best we see fit.
    Christians Who live in hot climates in December are actually moving away from snow and Christmas trees and those kinds of expressions anyway because it doesn’t suit their environment. Perhaps Muslims who live in snowy places can incorporate things from their own environment to decorate.
    I have always liked the fact that our occasions are not tied to any particular time of year, so to find meaning in them, we have to work a little bit harder as the season itself will not trigger us to know that it is coming. well initially, this can make it challenging. It just means we have to focus more on the occasion itself. I use the same plates and decorations, etc. for Eid and Ramadan every year and I find that it does help set the mood. People eat certain foods this helps to suit the mood in every culture people do this. They have special foods for these occasions. It helps to set the mood. It does not take away from the spiritual aspect. And people in every Country and culture have different types of food. I’m quite sure that initially. They might’ve been considered a problem too. But not anymore. We are in a new place and initially there will be a period of adjustment and people might wonder where the line is. Should we eat these foods? Etc. Overtime they will become part of our way of doing things as well. Just as they did when Islam spread to Persia, India, Africa, China, etc. Indonesia.
    I really understand the people who expressed that they don’t want our occasions to become overly commercial. They want them to remain focused on spirituality, and I think that people in all religions would agree with this sentiment.
    Consider that when Islam entered Persia and India, and other places some were concerned about people who spoke other languages or have different kinds of food or different kinds of clothing. And now we are quite accustomed to all of those things, being part of Islamic expression. The same will and should happen in the west. We should and will accommodate things that are halal into our western expression of Islam .
    We are part of an important process right now it will take several generations to complete. And I think it is normal there will be conversations differences of opinion, but we all must recognize that everyone’s intentions are good. And go forward with that in mind.

The whole of Germany uses seasonally decorated door wreaths (as in, flowers for spring, different flowers or fake berries for summer, leaves, apples and acorns for fall, Christmas or non-Christmas stuff for winter, e.g. ice-crusted winter berries or snowflakes) and I have literally never heard of anyone considering them a religious artifact, they are used because they are pretty and welcoming.

      Consider that things that are now considered “ traditional “ for Ramadan were once new ideas too. And lanterns and dates etc were being used in celebrations long before Muslims used them. That would mean we can’t use those either . Best to look at the intentions behind this decorating in order to understand it.

    I always thought maybe like ramanda calendars with like daily hadith and/or religious acts would be a good idea for kids, and get them excited. Add a candy or something to eat after iftar. Though, if it's truly something haram, and is imitating western traditions, I guess I'll just be creative and figure something else that will give ramadan vibes. The problem with living in the west is that you don't feel like it's ramadan, and it's really hard to get kids excited without decorations and all. We just put up fairy lights and ramadan mubarak signs. Though, thank you for teaching us!

      Don't be, in Islam you can find multiple answers to the same question and all can be true because it is not so much the answer the scholar finds but how he gets there via ijtihad. If the method is flawless the answer is valid. I do trust Sidra checked thoroughly before putting up a single decoration.

      Consider that “ traditional” Ramadan decorations were new at one time too. Can’t see any problem with a calendar that celebrates each day of Ramadan just because other people also use calendars- who doesn’t? We use calendars too. And if you live in a country that has cedars and evergreens then decorate with them it’s no more haram than using dates and palms if that is what is present where you live.

      @@Hello-ur8zx I don’t have a problem with calendars specifically and I understand that in areas where Ramadan is not observed nationwide, of course it’ll be more difficult to promote love for the occasion without such decorations. And obviously our decorations were new at one point as well, that’s kind of how the passage of time works. But rather than trying to adopt other holidays’ traditions for ourselves, why not just utilize those which are specifically for Ramadan or Eid?
      I’ve also never heard of trees being a decorative symbol for Islamic holidays in the same way that they are for Christmas, whether they are date palms or evergreens. Of course, if that is a thing somewhere then I don’t have a problem with it ^-^ I apologize for my ignorance. I just don’t think it’s necessary to make a “Ramadan version” of those trees like the one in the video.
      It’s not about using decorations that also just happen to be popular in other cultures, there’s nothing wrong with that. The problem arises where we desire to imitate these holidays that have nothing to do with us.
