Never say 'Marry Christmas'

Today is 25th December, rite? What day is it? Yup, Christmas Day.

Woot woott!! Wait! Never say that. Never say "Marry Christmas". Why? Just take a look at the picture above. So who are you to deny that?

That's why, many friends on mine share this on the facebook. Oah, seolah-olah facebook tu Muslim je yang pakai. Open giler. In the other hand, don't you guys read more about this before clicking the 'share' button? I mean, please get a good and appropriate understanding first, before spread it. Pardon me.

[Arghh!! Aku ade submission lusa. Tapi aku nak tulis jugak pasal ni]

To be honest, initially I disagree (with no knowledge, but sense) about the statement (for example) by Dr. Zakir Naik (Huu.. Again, who are you to disagree??)

So, i asked various people, i read various articles. i want to find some dalil aqli and naqli. I cant simply accept just a simple words like Dr. Zaki's statement, without furthur explaination. Sadly and publically, all Muslims tend to share this statement. What do u think the Christians would feel, when seeing this? Don't you have Christian friends?

Example, if we read Bible, if we go to the church - does it make us (Muslims) become Christians? I've been to various churches. But i'm still a Muslim, not becoming a Christian. NAUZUBILLAHI MIN ZAALIK.

Apatah lagi sekadar menyebut "marry christmas?". Semudah itukah untuk bertukar agama? Yes we have to know the meaning and its origin. But just bear in our mind that, we wish them just because of friendship. Don't you feel happy when they wish you, "Selamat hari raya?".

Ammar ibn Yasir, anak kepada Sumayyah dipaksa untuk menjadi kafir, malah dipaksa mencaci maki Rasulullah. Ketika itu nyawanya menjadi taruhan. Lalu dia terpaksa menyebut dengan lisan, sedangkan hatinya tetap kepada mentauhidkan Allah.

“Barang siapa yang kafir kepada Allah sesudah dia beriman (dia mendapat kemurkaan Allah) kecuali orang yang dipaksa kafir padahal hatinya tetap beriman (dia tidak berdosa).” (An-Nahl :106)

"La Iqro Ha Fiddin" - tiada paksaan dalam agama (Al Baqarah: 256).

Apatah lagi merendah-rendahkan agama lain. Yes, kita Muslim bertauhid bahawa Islam adalah satu-satunya agama yang diredhai Allah. Kita bertauhid bahawa Allah itu Esa.

Lalu adakah kita akan marah sekiranya penganut agama lain secara terbuka memperlekehkan akidah kita? Same goes to them. We have to respect other religious. So are they.

Read article; A Muslim says "Merry Christmas"

In the end of the day, khilaf itu perkara biasa. Yang mana-mana pun kita boleh ambik, asalkan ada dalilnya. Seeloknya, kita amik yang paling selamat la, kan? Takyah nak wish langsung, setel. (tapi jangan la public sangat bagitau xleh wish)

Tapi hakikatnya, ramai Muslim yang punya kawan, kenalan malah ahli keluarga yang Kristian.

Sekiranya mereka tidak boleh meraikan kenalan Kristian mereka sehingga menimbulkan rasa kurang enak, merenggangkan hubungan, menimbulkan salah faham terhadap Islam - agaknya pendapat mana yang harus mereka pilih? Wallahu'alam.

p/s: Friends, correct me if I'm wrong. BUT, I just don't want other people to get wrong about Islam. :)
