I will explain to them with love how this holiday has nothing to do with what we believe in. I’ll give them a treat which would be 100x better. You know better than me, kids love something today and forget it tomorrow, the same way it should happen with un-Islamic holidays. Give them some alternative entertainment, take them out, food, toys whatever. They’re kids!
You know we Muslims today have become so soft. Little by little we’re just giving up our way of life. It may not be apparent for some. Today we say “oh it’s just cards” but tomorrow “oh it’s just dating”. There are real life examples of this right in our neighborhood and you know this! We need to be strong and put our full TRUST in ALLAH, and ignore all these satanic holidays (yeah it may not seem so, but we all know where these holidays originate from).
Allah says:** And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah’s guidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper.** v120 Surah Baqara
Is this not reality TODAY? wake up smell the coffee =) This dunya, or your life is just for few years compared to akhira.. so like the secularists say, better to plan for the future! the REAL future!
