...Trick Or Treat...

[Shikra]

Kids are knocking on the door and I am not answering the door, pretending that I am not home, because I don’t have candies to give to them

Did you bring candies and are you giving them away to kids?

Re: ...Trick Or Treat...

Turn the porch light off, or if you live in an apartment put a "sorry ran out of candies" sign on the door.
Last year we ran out of candies but this year we have some left over .

I thought about putting the sign but got too lazy to print it. The year when we do bring candies, nobody shows up, but this is our first time in Houston, we weren’t expecting kids knocking doors of apartments, so didn’t bring any candies, but kids are showing up! So far 2 groups of kids have shown up.

Lois Maha is not going to be celebrating Halloween

I was going to, but today’s Jumma’s khutba was about NOT celebrating Halloween or other man-made (read pagan) customs etc. so I decided not to buy the costume.

Re: …Trick Or Treat…

It’s going to be very tough raising her in the US, especially when she sees other kids doing all kinds of stuff on Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas :hinna: But I have my plans to divert her attention from all that. I can always put more emphasis on Eid and do all those things on Eid and instead of taking part in those celebrations, we can always buy her candies, or give her toys instead so that she’s doesn’t look forward to those celebrations, but to toys.

Another thing that the imam pointed out, which I didn’t really think about is, that you never know what people may have injected in to those candies, or infected them with whatever. There are sick people out there. So it’s always a win-win if you don’t celebrate it

Not just Eid but you can always arrange to do other activities on holloween.

Our masjid just did a family fun night tonight. They arranged this event to give muslim children in our community an alternative to celebrating halloween. It turned out great…the kids along with adults seem to enjoy it.

My 6 yr old niece’s teacher asked her if she was going trick or treating…she replied 'no but I will be doing something special tonight"…she was referring to the family fun night event at the masjid. : )

Mashallah, that’s great! And yes, I just used Eid as an example but as I said, on such occasions, we’ll do something special (toys, gifts, family time etc.) so that their attention is diverted and instead of simply NOT doing anything at all, they ARE doing something and the right thing. I was reading in the local paper that the local masjid also did this “family night” for kids.
