Greeting others with Merry Christmas...

Sorry Diwana, I realized after having read your comment twice , that your grasp of the basic concept is weak. hence why there is no point discussing this any further.

**I would encourage you though, to read more on what Biddah is **, **why prophet SAW and his sahaba never celebrated their own birthdays, why prophet SAW’s response used to be extremely generic when a non muslim would wish him. **

Once you have collected that knowledge, you will see where we are coming from. Shirk is not a trivial matter and the only sin that Allah will not forgive. We have been totally made clear. Therefore i pray that Allah helps us with His divine guidance, in staying away from any form of shirk , no matter how small or big it is.

CB;

I think you are giving this matter a wrong twist just because you have read some opinions of some people who have really made this a big issue than what it is.

If you really want to discuss what biddah is or not then you will get equally opposite response from people who do acts which could be considered biddah in your book but in reality may not be.

I know you cannot even define word Biddah (in negative term) and I say it with utmost confidence.

Yes there is general concept of word Biddah and I used that to give you examples of Biddah.

But there is such term as "Biddah e Hasna

**Please read this very carefully:
**

Allah has no issue with people doing something to please him even if Allah did not ask the person to that. Provided it does not directly contradict with what Allah says not to do.

Basically, your intention makes an act right or wrong…still being in limit.

Now:

Coming to our discussion, you have not come up with ANY explanation why saying the two words means the person is agreeing or saying Issa AS was son of God!!

I have given you open challenge. **

You or anyone cannot give any reasonable answer why saying Merry Christmas is equivalent to being a Mushrik.
**
P.S. I urge you to read Islam and its basic requirements and you should not get so emotional to any trivial matters like this and start doubting someone’s intention.

Thank you.
