Re: should Christmas be celebrated by Muslims

@FrozenFire

since bookword said that Jesus's status was higher than other prophets in a sense that he AS was born without father AND He AS is the only prophet who has to return to earth?..... << thats what i dont believe cuz i say Jesus AS died a natural death. In one of the verse of Quran it clearly says that Jews were failed to crucify Jesus AS.

IF jesus AS returns to earth bodily , and according to u he AS will become muslim , then how come Quran will still call Him ' prophet of israel ' ???

So , for me birth of jesus was like any other prophet's birth, and He is not going to return to earth bodily from heaven.

WRONG!

He never died. Allah (SWT) ascended Isa (AS).

And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them [the resemblance of 'Îsâ (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man)], and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not *]:

But Allâh raised him 'Îsâ (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) to Himself (and he 'alayhis-salâm] is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. (4:157-158)
