Re: Is it wrong

I don’t think its that serious.

My mamu and aunty had a massive falling out over the fact that she wanted to dress up her 6 year old in a witches outfit and he didn’t. He is more strict on religion etc..

Erm for me if it caused arguments with people esp any of my family members then I would not do it BUT things like Christmas tree or easter eggs and even pumpkin are all good for sake of kids having fun but whilst allowing them to have fun I would also teach them about what Islam says about such traditions so that they know its alright to get involved with gora activities just to feel involved in all the hungama but at the same time make sure to teach them about our own beliefs as well and the reasons why we don’t believe in the same holidays as the gorey have.
Thats how my parents taught us kids. We were allowed a Christmas tree and roast a turkey but on Christmas day dad would also sit us all down and tell us the Muslim version of Jesus Isa As. Then on easter and even Halloween dad made sure to tell us the whole story behind Halloween and after we knew the story we decided we did not want to dress up in things we didn’t believe in but still handed out treats to the kids on the streets and put up a pumpkin in the window to show that we were involved in the community and the gora logue really appreciated it and in turn wanted to learn about our eid holidays and it gave us a chance to teach them about our religion and beliefs. Its all about learning and accepting and being involved in your community even if you do not all believe in the same thing. Remember Allah made us all diff communities for a reason.

I liked your post.

BP…is category mein to GS pe surfing bhi ajati hai. TV bhi ajata hai.

Carving pumpkins, dressing up kids and trick or treating at a few houses is not a big deal.

It does not make someone a kaafir or whatnot.
