 Understanding
Christian Faith & Culture
Christmas is an annual Christian religious holiday commemorating the birth
of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him. For many Muslims who even do not celebrate
the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it becomes an issue
of what stand they should take.
There have been a number of legitimate criticisms of the holiday from Muslims
and non-Muslims based on theological and cultural considerations. However, this
cannot be used to disregard the holiday as merely an exercise in ancient pagan
practices, for instance, or excessive consumerism. Muslims have to remember
that for practicing Christians, Christmas really is about Jesus.
Take a moment to learn more about Christian faith. A proper understanding of
other people's culture and beliefs can go a long way in enhancing relations
with them for the benefit of the whole society.
