One of our family friends is a Hindu family born and raised in KHI…they actually do wish us on every occasion. When I first met them, I was surprised…they were pure Hindus but aside from a few subtle things, you couldn’t tell. Very nice people and extremely appreciative of all things Pakistani including food.

Agar aap kisi aur mulk mein apna ghar basana chahti hein…to beshak karein. Lekin jis mulk mein aap hein, unke taur tareeqay apna ne se aap Muslim se non-Muslim nahin ban jati hein. Us hi tarha…jab koi non-Muslim apna mulk chorke kisi Muslim mulk mein rehte hein…to vo taur tareeqay seekh lete hein.

This is common sense aur is mein alag se samjhanay wali koi baat nahin hai.

queen…what makes you sad about this?
and how do you see it affecting your imaan if you were to buy a Christmas gift for your Christian neighbour?

Wishing occasions is something else Muzna. What makes me sad is, the way I see a lot of Muslims around who actually celebrate such festive the way it is celebrated genuinely. Throwing parties, waiting for such festive as Oh, Christmas aanay wali hay, ye karna hay wo kerna hay, ye khareedna hay etc.

I read above in one of your comments that you respect such festive and in return you need the same… now if truly your neighbor respects it, gives your presents on eid, celebrate it with you, I see no harm if you pay her back the same respect. Because then its not about “Celebrating” an event but more of respecting each other’s customs, traditions. But if your neighbor doesn’t even wish you happy eid, applies mehendi for fun purposes, and doesn’t even care about your festive… why do you need to show how welcoming you are towards her festive??

Probably this is the darya-dili I was talking about
