This answer is very misleading Because it’s saying if everyone is doing g something and it’s not related to an act of worship then it’s ok ; It’s common sense ; Everything about the way birthdays are celebrated today leads to acts that are not Islamic and you do not need to be a scholar to understand that; Any of the holidays these days now is about consumerism Making us buy and think that we need these holidays; I do not agree with his answer
Birthdays are not part of Islam. One should not celebrate them. We should follow sunnah of our beloved prophet PBUH. He never celebrated Birthdays. May ALLAH guide us all to the sirat e musraqeem. Ameen
Just the manner of his speech… his tone of voice and the anger in his voice just expresses everything else… this is also not how we as Muslim are supposed to speak especially regarding a topic that is so unimportant.. whilst listening to mufti, not to compare, such a peaceful explanation with so much sense may Allah guide to all
When most of the Ulemas of Islam has understanding of not celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, because it's like following the kuffaar. It's better we don't it. Coming to wearing pants and shirts , it's a very immature statement from the Sheikh because they are generalized. Birthdays and anniversaries have some origin with some culture. People have different opinions. Respect them and move forward. ❤
He conflated key aspect. There is a diffefence between celebrating just when you feel like (graduating or youre bored) and celebrating something that has pagan roots and is commong amon kuffar. He is wrong again. Sharia forbids pagan festivals, sharia forbids imitating kuffar. "The origin is pagan means nothing" So if a celebrate Christmas and hang a tree in my room with my secular Christian friends, it is allowed? Someone make takfir on this guy.
The issue is you celebrate Anniversaries and Birhtdays on Christian / Gregorian calendar not on the Islamic lunar calendar.. you didn't even think of mentioning that point.. very strange..
INTEREST ON MONEY BORROWED = RIBAA = MOONAAFAA. MAKING INTEREST ON LOANED MONEY IS “ HARAAM “. My brothers and sisters,,,YOU WANNA HAVE GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN OF ADAM & EVE, NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM. TAKING INTEREST OR UNJUSTIFIED ADVANTAGES IN TRADE DEALS IS “ HARAAM “. Charging interest makes Rich people even RICHER. POOR PEOPLE EVEN BECOME MORE POOR. KIND HEARTED MUSLIMS OR CHILDREN OF ADAM & EVE,,,DO NOT DO IT. “ CURSED BE UPON WHO ACCEPT USURY ( RIBAA), the one who paid , the one Witnesses, the one Records it. “ ALLAH HAS PERMITTED TRADE ( like clothes, food, merchandise),,,BUT ALLAH HAS FORBIDDEN ( PROHIBITED = not allowed) USURY = RIBAA = interest,,,AFTER YOU KNOW NOW & take INTEREST = RIBAA = USURY IS HARAAM. RIBAA IS HARAAM, ALCOHOL IS HARAAM, MAKING LOVE WITHOUT MARRIAGE IS HARAAM,,,YOU WILL BE COMPANION OF FIRE,,,,INTEREST 🔥 RIBAA 🔥. HELL OF FIRE IS THE PUNISHMENT OF RIBAA,,,,YAA RABB, IF YOU PROVIDE MORE LIFETIME THEN RAFI WILL PAY ALL THINGS THAT RAFI BOUGHT ON LOANS. YAA RABB, RAFI HAS TWO MORE YEARS TO PAY THIS MOTEL BUSINESS OFF,,,ALHAMDOLILLAH RAFI MAINE USA
Bro Yasir, I don’t agree with you on this. This festivities have everything to do with Christmas, that is why they call it Christmas party at our jobs. You want to tell us that if you are invited to a Christmas party where there is mix gatherings, music, dancing, alcohol and pork, you will attend. Why would you advise us to attend gatherings like that.
Islam is not generic Astagfirullah! Don’t compare the only acceptable Deen of Allah with all other false religions. Stop interpreting Quranic verses in a complete distorted manner.
Very sensible speech. Somethings Allah has left in common sense rather than halal or haram. These are mis understanding of Hadeeth by ultra conservatives.
As salaamu alaikum. I know this video was made a few years ago. I just wonder if our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) were alive, if he would agree with this answer, especially about Christmas celebrations at work or otherwise (children in school). Not attending does put one in an awkward position. However, in some ways, just as all the turmoil that is happening in Palestine in December 2023, you really get to see who really respects you, who does not and who could really care less. These celebrations are a tool to keep Americans and other countries who celebrate, asleep, from the more important things that need to be done (like understanding why even Christians shouldn't celebrate Christmas, the lies behind it, educating ourselves and giving dawah, etc.). Not a scholar, no way near, but am an African American, revert by way of my parents. Both of their families were from Christian backgrounds and so Christmas time was lit EVERY year (in grandparents homes). We attended their celebrations til my parents divorced after 17 years of marriage. Not saying the celebrations caused their marriage to fail. What I can say from experience, is if the soul is mediocre or weak in understanding our duty to Allah, such influences could be detrimental towards one's iman/faith during this time of the year. It has a strong hold in seemingly making ok to be like the Christians; it gives the impression that is okay to celebrate some aspects as they do, which could lead to one just about apostating from Islam (over time). The Christmas songs, decorations, and the like are all from pagan rituals. Also, there are other Christian groups that teach against some of the celebratory practices of Christmas. So why would we as Muslims who say 'La illaha illaah', allow the practice of such things (Even if it is a party once a year)? Perhaps to not be the odd ball out? But we practice self restraint all year long, In shaa Allah. This would just be another time to tighten the grip of the molars on The Rope of Allah. May Allah Most Merciful help and guide us - may we submit, amin!!!!😮😢
Not all Christmas parties are at work. Many are at night that are fully catered with alcohol at bars, hotels or halls with dancing and music. Shame the shaykh didn’t clarify
This is my 1st year as a revert, I quit smoking weed and quit drinking (although i rarely drank i used to do it on occasions), alhamdulillah. And have no intentions of going to my jobs "holiday party" even though the invitation is covered in christmas decorations. There is no NEED or desire to be around alcohol and women dressing to impress. I'll be at Jiu Jitsu or the mosque inshaAllah.

Narrated Thabit ibn ad-Dahhak: In the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) a man took a vow to slaughter a camel at Buwanah. So he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: I have taken a vow to sacrifice a camel at Buwanah. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Did the place contain any idol worshipped in pre-Islamic times? They (the people) said: No. He asked: Was any pre-Islamic festival observed there? They replied: No. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Fulfil your vow, for a vow to do an act of disobedience to Allah must not be fulfilled, neither must one do something over which a human being has no control. Sunan Abi Dawud 3313 sunnah.com/abudawud:3313
Wow 😂😂 islaam is actually personal and all your deeds are personal and you will personally be punished for going against the way of the Prophet peace be upon him, by doing something he could have done, but didn't do. FEAR ALLAAH
I have never heard of Hazrat Muhammad Sallalaho Alahi Wasallam ever celebrate his beloved grand children, Hazrat Hassan and Hazrat Hussain Radhi' Allah Anho. In fact if anything, Hazrat Muhammad Sallalaho Alahi propagated heavily about the warnings of desth and the life hereafter Eid Mubarak to my fellow Muslims
You want to celebrate, then celebrate, if you dont want to celebrate, keep it yo your self. The sheik is trying to give clarity on an issue that is misunderstood. May Allah bless him. He has done his best to clarify. Respect him for that
there’s nothing misunderstanding about it , all celebration are FORBIDDEN except for the two Eid’s, khalas, anything else - whether it’s “personal” [which makes no sense, islam governs ones life materialistically and spiritually, so excluding it from ‘personal’ makes no sense and is simply an excuse for the people of desires to justify their actions] or not is bid’ah. KHALAS.
JazakumuLLohu khaeran kaseeroh sister. U are such a blessing to islam. As simple as that. U don't have to condemn any 1. If u want to , do it. If u don't want , then let it be. Thanks sist.
I see here alot of negative comments. I think he said something that we have to reflect on. If we can not celebrate birthday because it is "tashabuh" then how can we use iphones, tv and add it to our daily routine, or living in non-islamic countries. These all things comes from non-muslim so all of this is tashabuh....???? Like he said then eating burgers, pizza are tashabuhat .........????? Halal and haram is clear in islam.
How is that even comparable? In Islam, it is halal before it is haram. Stop trying to make such arguments as a layman. Among the celebrations that are prohibited according to Islamic teaching - apart from those which involve reprehensible practices and sins - are those in which there is any imitation of the disbelievers, such as birthday celebrations and Mother’s Day. The prohibition is more emphatic if they take a form which resembles the festivals prescribed in Islam. This is the case with regard to those occasions, as they are called “ ‘eid al-milaad (lit. “festival of birth” i.e., birthday) and “ ‘eid al-umm” (lit. festival of mothers, i.e., Mother’s Day). These are occasions which involve imitation of the disbelievers and those whom we are forbidden to imitate. The prohibition is more emphatic if the aim of the one who celebrates it is to draw closer to Allah, may He be exalted, thereby, because this is combining sin and innovation (bid‘ah). The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: What is the ruling on celebrating children’s birthdays? There is a saying among us that it is better to fast on that day instead of celebrating it. What is the correct view? They replied: Celebrating birthdays or fasting because it is one’s birthday is all innovation (bid‘ah) for which there is no basis. Rather the Muslim should seek to draw closer to Allah by doing that which He has enjoined upon him and by doing supererogatory acts of worship. In all cases he should be grateful to Him and praise Him for all the days and years during which he has been sound in body and he, his property and his children have been safe. End quote. Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (2/260, 261) It is forbidden for people to celebrate birthdays, as this is an imitation of disbelievers because Muslims didn't know this custom before. It came from the disbelievers as it is one of their customs. And, the Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ordered us to disagree with them. This is made evident from many sound Hadith. Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said also:" Whoever imitates some people, he is one of them". Narrated by Abu Dawood from Ibn Omar. And Allah knows best.
Sweet heart, I don't know ur gender but I love u lillahi wa rosulihi. Thanks for this. U don't have to rubbish some 1s believe because u don't believe them. Do urs and let others do their. As simple as that
