Re: Raising kids in a different culture
Dushwari.. This is what i had to explain to them about Christianity when the question was first raised.. I told them.. Jesus (PBUH) is not son of God but a prophet of God .. And that is what Jesus (PBUH) had taught his people but as time passed Christian people forgot what Jesus had taught them and they started to believe that He is God or son of God.. Now this is why God sent Mohammad (SWS) so that he could correct people who had forgotten... So They take Jesus' name with respect knowing that he was a prophet of God..
I hope and pray that they grow up to be good muslims and with less confusions ..
p.s. Gift giving isn't in my opinion a bad thing. it brings people together.. and we should do it more ..
