What does merry Christmas mean in Islam?
Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God (Shirk). The name ‘Christmas’ comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. Wishing Merry Christmas means that you agree Jesus was begotten son of GOD, which also means that you do not believe in Surah Ikhlas of the Quran in which GOD says that he begets none nor is he begotten by someone.
According to Christians, Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, Nauzubillah who Christians believe is the Son of God. Those who celebrate Christmas spend weeks planning it, buying gifts, getting the tree setups, getting all the jumpers and hats, etc yet they can’t put the same effort into their own religion. Like practicing five times a day because I guarantee if they put effort into learning about their religion they would not be celebrating pagan rituals.
