That would mean you do not celebrate any prophet's holiday other than Muhammad's?
If that is true, why would you give them respect in peace among them if you do not acknowledge the reason of their being a prophet and how they contributed to Islam (if they did)?
It is actually more about about the paganism behind christmass that i deem to be polytheism. All logic rejects that jesus pbuh was born in december.
The celebration itself is not pagan. How it is celebrated within Catholicism and like traditions have pagan elements in it. December is besides the point of celebration.
Question: In Islam, how do they see other prophets and recognition of them compared to Muhammad?
As for celebrating the real birth of Jesus or the birthday of Muhammad( peace be upon them)this is considered bidah(innovation) and every innovation leads to hellfire.
Celebrating any event of Muhammad leads to hellfire?
How do you define celebration?
Because i believe if celebrating birthday of prophet was "Good Deed" than the prophets themselves and their companions would have done that. They have more right to do good deed than us.
I think this is religious differences between you and I. My grandmothers passed away. They didn't celebrate their own birthdays as they got older. However, I still do because I love them. It's an act of gratitude and love that I remember them on the day they were born, the days they lived, and the days they passed as spirit now.
I cannot imagine that celebration or reverence of a prophet would be wrong.
Question: In Islam, do you only celebrate things that the prophets celebrate or do you have ways you give gratitude even if it's not mentioned in the Quran and Hadith?[/QUOTE]
