I was born and raised in The Netherlands. None of the Dutch ever wished me a happy Ramadan in my 41 years of life. If they can't wish me a happy Ramadan because they don't agree with my religion, then I have no obligation whatsoever to wish them happy holidays.
I've recently begun getting Happy Ramadan and Eid from Non Muslims. The most I do in return is Happy Holidays. I then take time to explain why I can't say Happy Christmas. Once they understand the Tauheed bit and how it's such a grave crime (Shirk) in Islam, they understand.
Nobody expects u to wish Merry Christmas .But why Muslims discuss every year that they can`t wish Merry Christmas to the Christians ? Just don`t do it .
@@Ingrid-wf4cl You people certainly expect. Why would you wish a woman with a headscarf merry Christmas? Absurd right. They open their eyes wide and watch what you're gonna respond. And you're asking why we discuss this issue? Clowns.
I've recently learned that muslims aren't allowed to answer a Merry Christmas or Happy eastern greeting anyways. I found their denial of our christian culture, when they live in such country, very rude, that they not even use a neutral form like happy holiday. I've use to greet them on their holidays, but not anymore. Because of their rude behaviour, I have decided as a Christian I won't support any of their idolatry.
Thank you for sharing and being so honest. I agree being kind and being careful not to hurt people's feelings is very important especially with Christian family members
My wife is a revert and we also visit her family before or after, but this year was different, her father got brain cancer and doctors said he might not survive more than a year, so this Christmas all of her family went to visit and support him, we went this time but we asked them not to get us any gifts, and we said we are not bringing any gifts , (You know the tree gift thing). it was just family gathering and visiting. I think they got the point that its an exception and it was very appreciated, and it actually got couple family members curios about Islam and they wanted to learn more.
Bless you, sister! I live in Madrid. This Christmas I am consciously using the time for more praying at my mosque, more reading of the Quán, more meditation, yoga and Chi-gong. I have been a Muslim revert for five years now. Peace be upon you and your messages of peace. 🙏
Thats happen to me too here in Finland....now i am sitting alone home....but i see this that you are alone make you stronger and you understand that tradision is shirk...dont be sad...Allah is whit you....

@ahmedalshalchi No, but I'm reading the Qur'an for the 3rd time, I'm 62 yrs old, I was diagnosed with early onset alhzeimers when I was 59yrs old, I can't concentrate for long periods, but even after reading the Qur'an for the first time, I knew it was the word of God....
I feel that as a revert, your sacrifices for the right path are much more than us, bron muslims. Insha Allah, your rewards will also be much more than us, born muslims. My prayers are for you and your families happiness in whatever situations ever being. You are a very brave woman, and Allah bless you with special qualities to stand firm and on the right side in difficult and challenging times
Thanks sister Lauren. I am just a few years behind you and my life is mirroring much of yours to a degree. You did a good job explaining the convert situation and how navigating non islamic holidays and yet keeping family ties are important . Born Muslims can't possibly walk a mile in our shoes. I can't possibly take their advice on certain matters. May Allah give you strength and security in your life. Keep teaching !❤
Thank you for your video's giving insights and clarification. Concerning your family, be kind to yourself. I lived abroad for many years, my loving mother often said 'You have found your path and I'd rather have you happy there, then unhappy here'.

May Allah reward you with all the blessings and to your kids. Allahu alam, I believe you were polite to your mother and your mother loved you very much.
One of the most insightful perspectives I've heard on the matter, jazak Allah khair sister Lauren. It sounds like you've arrived at a good balance in your approach, and may Allah reward the extra effort you and other reverts might have had to put into deciding how to handle this time of year. The gradual transition you executed for your kids sounds wise. May ar Rahman accept your mom into His mercy and forgive and bless her greatly.
Ayatollah Khamenei’s answer to question about celebrating Christmas: Question: In common with Christians, some Muslims celebrate Christmas. Is there a problem in that? Answer: There is no harm in celebrating the birthday of the Holy Jesus Christ (May peace be upon him and our Prophet and his pure progeny).
Sister Salam Alekum..........About Christmas Tree is Haram even for the Christian ......This a verse in The Bible in...Jeremiah 10:3-4 King James Version (KJV).... For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.....may Allah Gide our Uma.
I think the worst was when my atheist friends and colleagues even uni lecturer would peer pressure me to celebrate Xmas and I had to firmly say do you realise how ignorant you sound, all from an educated background sadly…
SubhanAllah my sister, may almighty Allah shine his grace upon us all, you are a role model for my daughter's, cousins, among others. So thank you for your message
This ancient pagan tradition is simply an appreciation of the cycles of nature and nothing more. No idol worshipping. I put a tree up because on the 21st December it is the shortest day of the year and the sun dips to the lowest point in the sky it will ever get to and stays there for 3 days in the "tomb" until the 25th December when it ascends by one degree continuing its ascent until the day of the summer solstice on 21st June when the process starts again in reverse, the days start to lengthen, after death there is rebirth of growth and vegetation symbolised by the wreath, Yule log and fir tree for fertility and lushness. The three wise men allude to three stars in the Orion Belt. The celebration is based on an astronomical event.
I agree we need to celebrate Eid better. Christmas should not be more enticing to the children than Eid. That means big on gifts to children. Only then can you stop Muslim children looking towards Christmas.
Hello Lauren, thank you for your insightful videos and explanations that are very important for all of us. Although one thing I really don't understand. As lots of Christians are already aware that all those Christians religious days are actually pagan traditions. Even sincere Christians after learning these things, they keep following those customs especially because they have got used to them. Sincerity is the most important thing for religions. Don't you think so?
When u have Allah you are never alone but at peace .. Ayah ar-Ra`d (The Thunder) 13:28. those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort. Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of God.
I have been Muslim for 18 years and I thought that Christmas day was on the 24th😅 Alhumdulilah, I am so disconnected from that pagan festival. Sad to see ignorant Muslims going around celebrating that shirk festival and embarrassing themselves in the process.
I think that Christmas is no more a Religious festivity but are some days to share good will, brotgerhoid, and happiness with family, friends and neighbours only christisns celebrate the birthday of Christ but even atheists celebrate Christmas ! But without the religious thing !

Hi Lauren I love your video. After having a bad experience with a satanist woman, I stopped celebrating anything non-Islam. It’s never ending anyway, celebrate every birthday Xmas day Boxing Day new years valentines Pancake Tuesday April fools, Easter, thanksgiving, Halloween, guy Fawkes, commemorations of any other events like nov 9th Poppy Day. Then you’re told it’s awareness day for this cause or that cause. Surely we have enough days within Islam that we can draw some boundary and difference. But aside from that, do it with kindness, maybe even spend time with the family but make it clear why you’re doing it. Also Xmas has pagan origins, it’s a win for the Satanists how they have the world dancing to any tune. The moguls decided it’s the commercial event of the year and everyone does as they say. Whereas for me, I will sacrifice my time and energy only for my Creator.
You are aware because you are posting. My mum is yemeni muslim, we all went to my mums for xmas. Family get together. We use it as an excuse to get together. We will also be doing it next month.

That's not. What is important here?Whether it was that day or some other day, you know what?I have no problems finishing with Christians.Or somebody other faith. The danger of religion is baby.When you becomeradical and you think you Gid figure out.. Religion separate people God unites
There is nothing wrong with wishing someone goodwill and wishing them happy holiday to their own holidays beliefs , it shows huge emotional and social intelligence. Sometimes religion becomes like a cult and its logically impossible that many civilizations evolved with many people over time over the whole world, and that one religion can only be correct . What a gift it is to be welcomed even for a day or hours to someone else’s life and traditions and learn something. Nothing wrong with all traditions Christmas , Ramadan and what ever just closed minded people
I was born and raised in The Netherlands. None of the Dutch ever wished me a happy Ramadan in my 41 years of life. If they can't wish me a happy Ramadan because they don't agree with my religion, I don't have any obligation to wish them happy holidays.
I think I agree with you. You can add selfish to the list. The great thing in life is to learn from our mistakes and the necessity then must be to rectify them. Alhamdulilah I have close ties with my family and in particular spent a lot of time with my mum before she passed.
Here in morocco many homes and businesses have decorated xristmas trees , we also started to teach kids in school about Santa clause We don't need any missionaries to convert us we gradually doing it ourselves and to our children
The Quran recognizes Jesus as a great prophet; as a Muslim, there is something wrong with celebration. It's a celebration of his birth, not him being the son of God. I come from a Shia Muslim background; my husband is a Catholic. I have no problem going to Mass and even get emotional about it. If you hate materialism, don't engage in it.
ALLAH SWT sees all intentions, so do not worry we all pray may ALLAH SWT forgive her, you and us all, and accept all our purest intentions behind all our efforts, we must look at Ibrahim pbuh how he pbuh delt with his pbuh father and even might have lived in the same house. we have our celebrations and they have theirs. Alhamdulellah just every days of Ramadhan is like a sweet holiday most important is ours is given by the creator and is purely for HIS swt sake.
"Low within a manger lies, He who made the starry skies. He who came from heavenly bliss, down to such a world as this." To have any other God but Jesus, you might as well worship the Devil.

Yes it's a pagan tradition.
We're muslims so we don't subscribe to that tradition.
There is no denial of other teachings in Islam. Why do you put Islam in a box? As long as there is no contradiction, there is problem.

Integration is the main problem here causing this whole confusion, for instances, In UK they push the idea of integration so often that they force minorities to align themselves whatever dominant culture do.

It's wrong for a muslims to celebrate with or wish for happiness for someone doing kuffur

Do you have holiday to smile have fun enjoy life.i always see muslims are serious.like under stress not happiness.anything besides praying 5 times?
it's it: HARAM! Haram is haram! Thank you! JZKALLAH
Many poor christians feeling trapped by holiday traditions
We as muslims shouldn't feel trapped by the festivity and doing something we don't really have to, to pursue something for the sake of materialism, moreover as we already a muslim
I don't think there's anything wrong with exchanging gifts

That's not.
What is important here?Whether it was that day or some other day, you know what?I have no problems finishing with Christians.Or somebody other faith. The danger of religion is baby.When you becomeradical and you think you Gid figure out.. Religion separate people God unites
There is nothing wrong with wishing someone goodwill and wishing them happy holiday to their own holidays beliefs , it shows huge emotional and social intelligence. Sometimes religion becomes like a cult and its logically impossible that many civilizations evolved with many people over time over the whole world, and that one religion can only be correct . What a gift it is to be welcomed even for a day or hours to someone else’s life and traditions and learn something. Nothing wrong with all traditions Christmas , Ramadan and what ever just closed minded people
I was born and raised in The Netherlands. None of the Dutch ever wished me a happy Ramadan in my 41 years of life. If they can't wish me a happy Ramadan because they don't agree with my religion, I don't have any obligation to wish them happy holidays.
Everyone as Muslims. Made about Muslims Palestinian 🇵🇸 when is praying finished made Dua
Ассаломуалайум Лаурен я незнаю Английский ,язик я гаварю вас просп привет 🎉😂😅😊❤
I don't quite understand the purpose of this video
Hi Jeanne. It is an exploration of the confusions and pressures Muslims just about everywhere face at this time of year. It is a bit niche!
@@laurenboothUK Ah okay. Thank you Lauren for your reply
gross that you treated your family like that, heartless and uncaring.
I think I agree with you. You can add selfish to the list. The great thing in life is to learn from our mistakes and the necessity then must be to rectify them. Alhamdulilah I have close ties with my family and in particular spent a lot of time with my mum before she passed.
It is a festive season,to wish New Year Greetings shouldn't be a problem, it is simply social etiquette.....
Here in morocco many homes and businesses have decorated xristmas trees , we also started to teach kids in school about Santa clause
We don't need any missionaries to convert us we gradually doing it ourselves and to our children
A sad truth.
The Quran recognizes Jesus as a great prophet; as a Muslim, there is something wrong with celebration. It's a celebration of his birth, not him being the son of God. I come from a Shia Muslim background; my husband is a Catholic. I have no problem going to Mass and even get emotional about it. If you hate materialism, don't engage in it.
That's why you're shia.
Yeah, but Mo Saleh is also celebrating Christmas as a Muslim.
You can be a muslim during ramadan and a christen during Christmis.
So incredibly incorrect
ALLAH SWT sees all intentions, so do not worry we all pray may ALLAH SWT forgive her, you and us all, and accept all our purest intentions behind all our efforts, we must look at Ibrahim pbuh how he pbuh delt with his pbuh father and even might have lived in the same house.
we have our celebrations and they have theirs. Alhamdulellah just every days of Ramadhan is like a sweet holiday most important is ours is given by the creator and is purely for HIS swt sake.
"Low within a manger lies, He who made the starry skies. He who came from heavenly bliss, down to such a world as this." To have any other God but Jesus, you might as well worship the Devil.
