    Hey everyone!!
    Welcome to another video in my “New Revert Series” that I have going here on CZcams! In this series I discuss the basics of Islam with topics from prayer, to making wudhu, to my own revert journey! The aim of this video is to make it easier for those struggling to learn their deen! This video focuses on Christmas as a revert, offering advice about the issue that so many revert face regarding how they approach Christmas and how they should react to the issue of celebrating Christmas! InShaAllah this helps some of you x

  • @Australian.Southern.Delights

    I completely agree. Don’t isolate yourself from these rare moments when the family all come together. I was told by a friend that her friend who’s a revert never stoped participating in these events. Gradually, as years pass by. This revert family ended up embracing Islam.
    I’m not saying if you go to these events that everyone in the family will become Muslim (although it happened in this case.) but it will show the character of a Muslim and the people who attend usually observe these things.
    I stopped celebrating and attending a Christmas family get together years ago. I thought it was the proper thing to do...but it damaged the relationship with me and my family 😔

    I agree with you sister. Like you, I too embraced Islam & have grappled with the whole Christmas as a revert issue. I also understand & accept the reality that we as Muslims do not celebrate Christmas.
    I don't wish people (especially even the kids I teach swimming to & work collegues at work) a Merry Christmas, rather I simply wish them happy holidays &/or all the best. They are all cool with that. I wouldn't expect them to wish me Eid Mubarak, in the same way they wouldn't expect my to wish them Merry Christmas.
    To you be your way & to me be mine (Surah Al-Khafaroon, Ayat 6)
    Many years before I embraced Islam, I had stopped celebrating it as I understood the origins of the occasion. My parents knew & understood that I wasn't into the whole thing (I think I was around 13 when I stopped celebrating although I didn't embrace Islam till I was 28). My wife & I still go up to my home town to visit them regularly throughout the year & they really enjoy whenever my wife & I come up. Just not at Christmas time - they usually do their own thing anyway.
    Now I am Muslim, my wife & I spend Christmas, having a Lebanese BBQ with a Muslim family. Away from Christmas celebrations, alcohol, etc. Alhamdulillah. :)

    I think for someone that is born Muslim, it doesn’t make sense to celebrate Christmas, as I don’t celebrate for example Diwali. But if you are a revert it’s different. There is nothing wrong to just wish marry Christmas and to eat with your family, to simply be together and enjoy the happiness of the day. This doesn’t mean you believe in it. A lot of Christians nowadays don’t believe in it either. It is just a celebration that was also done in the past to exorcise the fear of the winter and the darkness 💕

    A revert journey is a progression, baby steps are best let your journey unfold organically and don’t feel over burdened or the person will feel resentment and that it’s way too hard.
    None of us are perfect and one Muslim may be good in one thing and not another .
    I bought my mother gifts at Christmas and treated her well , she went out of her way to celebrate eid for me,
    Guess what she ultimately took shahada Islam should not be extremely difficult it just puts people off ,
    May I add it’s about intention I didn’t believe Jesus was the son of god or that it was even his birthday as it isn’t , but I respected my mother and her beliefs , and was really chill
    Anyways that’s my view

Like, they couldn’t even give it up in a time of grief. It really makes you see when you don’t drink.

Christmas has enormous secular value to many people, as does the tradition of Santa Claus. No one is trying to force anyone to participate in the tradition of Santa if they don't want to, but the tradition has special meaning for many people and he isn't based on a demonic figure. He is based on the historical St Nicholas, that is a verifiable fact. Happy New year.

    I would like to give my thoughts on these 2 topics:
    - You cannot be "born Muslim": believing is something you choose when you have learnt. It is a proactive thing to become and be a Muslim. But yes, you can be born in a Muslim home.
    - Celebrating Christmas is not haram: in Islam, something is forbidden when it is CLEARLY forbidden. The prophet (pbuh) not celebrating Christmas does not mean it's forbidden to celebrate it, as long as you don't worship Jesus. If a hadith was found saying that the prophet (pbuh) never wore a black shirt, it doesn't mean wearing a black shirt is haram. My family and I are Muslim and yet, we celebrate Christmas every year not as a religious thing whatsoever, but as a good time to be all reunited, have fun, decorate, eat a good meal and give to charities.
    Salam
    and enjoy your holidays :)

As revert I remember, how many times I had to go back to the basically old believe System, to bring every Single thing clean converted into Islam. Finally, after really all of my questions found logically answers, my Iman became strong, my Wisdom and my believe became strong, that I felt completed and wanted to speak my Shahada new.

    In my Classical civilisation class (it's where I study about Roman's and Greeks) I learnt that Christmas originated from Roman's and the Roman's used to celebrate the saturnalia which was when the Roman's celebrated their God Saturn's ( god of harvest) birthday from the 17th of December to the 25th and when christianity came along the roman king of that time changed the whole festival around from the Saturnalia to Jesus's birthday

When I look into the history of Christmas, it's actually quite scary...😈worship. For our children's sake, I think we have to disengage ourselves from Christmas celebrations.

So they can see what my religion has turned me into through my morals. But I'll make this whole interaction relatively short to make it clear that I am not there to celebrate christmas but instead to meet them and then leave the place. I would not spend the night at my home (assuming living with non muslim parents, etc.) if the guests are coming over and they would drink and do that sort of haram stuff all night.

    Should Muslims Join the Christmas Fever?
    This is one of those topics that always has to resurface every time the event comes around.
    I completely agree that there are many more important topics that must be discussed and shared, but it so happens that unfortunately and regretfully this topic of “Muslims celebrating Christmas” is at the top of the list of questions during this season.
    It really does come as a shock for us to receive this many queries about an event that has nothing to do with us as Muslims.
    I will go one step further and say it has nothing to do with Christianity as a religion as well. We all know that this whole Christmas topic is even controversial among Christians themselves.[1] There are Christians who completely denounce Christmas and refuse to celebrate anything from it.[2]
    It doesn’t concern us whether or not all or some Christians celebrate Christmas. That’s an internal issue they have. But this issue serves as a strong argument against us Muslims who might find ourselves obliged to take part in something in solidarity with people around us, but yet the practice itself has no basis.
    When we know that Islam is a complete religion and a way of life, with a long and vast heritage, it has so much in it that would really keep us occupied throughout the year. We will be so busy and vibrantly active, we won’t have any time for anything else.
    Look at all the occasions we have during the year. As a Muslim, do you do anything for these great celebrations: Ramadhan al-Mubarak, Eid al-Adha, 15th of Sha’baan, Eid al-Ghadir, or the birthdays of our Ma’sumeen (a.s.)?
    Are they just normal days in your household that pass by and you or your children don’t even notice them? I am not just talking about the Mustahab things you should be doing on our sacred days and celebrations, but also creating such an atmosphere in the home, where the children live them.
    Is that better for you to have, or to introduce non-Islamic practices that have no basis even in the religion they’re supposedly based on?
    So it’s not just about having a Christmas tree in your house, or putting out biscuits and milk next to the fireplace. It’s about having pride in your heritage and identity.
    When you read into Islamic law, one of the outstanding cases strongly reiterated is the prohibition of imitating non-Muslims and doing something that is a part of the rituals, habits or practices of non-Muslims.
    For example, many hadiths insist on men shortening their moustaches, and then explain that it’s because Jewish men at that time would leave their moustaches to grow long. So it was a way of allowing themselves to be recognised as Muslims.
    All of our jurists - Sunni and Shi’ah - say it is Haram for us to buy, sell, or adorn ourselves or our houses with statues or symbols of other religions. You cannot hang a crucifix, or put a Buddha statue, and then innocently say that there is no harm in it.
    This isn’t belittling or insulting other religions. It is you as a Muslim being proud of what you have and keeping your personal space as Islamic as possible.

      Reason for changing name when you revert to Islam::no 1)

      No 2)
      Name with a nice meaning,changed for betterment.
      3)
      Names against unification eg.
      King of kings ie.
      ONLY ALLAH( GOD)/IS KING.NO OTHER KING BUT HE.
      4) ANY name the realistic, don't consist of
      Good will"with many other beautifying, good and beauty of carrying the sacredness of ALLAHS,(GODS)/ GOOD TO MANKIND ITSELF.
      is meaningless...TO CARRY A NAME ON ONESELF THAT COMES FROM KORAN,BIBLE,AND OTHER HOLINESS...
      IS GREATEST BLESSINGS. It because those were the sahabas,and others who gave mankind stepping stones, to live religious beliefs as close as possible to almighty GOD...WE as humans can only but TRY" none are perfect...but when a revert accepts a new sacred Islamic name ,there's only everything right about it.
      Nothing can ever wrong that...yes,its strange,cause lots of other politics,eg,changing I'd.book etc etc.THAT,
      Is hard in unislamic lands, but after all..
      Its about striving for excellent way of life which Islam was/is/will always be.
