Surah Maryam 19 :88-92
And they say, “The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son.”
You have done an atrocious thing.
The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation
That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.
And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

I wonder how a Muslim can disregard the fact that what Christians believe with saying merry Christmas. saying merry Christmas and telling that we dont believe what christians believe does not make sense as it still involves you in the propagation of their message.

If a Christian says ‘Eid Milad u nabhi mubarak’, then it means he believes in what is written in Quran and Sahah Sitta

if we look at the meaning of phrase ‘Merry / Happy Christmas’, its same as ‘Eid Milad u nabhi mubarak’, Christ being equal to Maseeh as used in Quran for Hazrat Isa (AS) and mæsse / Mas for celebration / communion.

Etymology

“Christmas” is a compound word originating in the term “Christ’s Mass”. It is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse, which is from Old English Crīstesmæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038[SUP][8]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-CathChrit-8)[/SUP] followed by the word Cristes-messe in 1131.[SUP][28]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-Christmas-29)[/SUP] Crīst (genitive Crīstes) is from Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), a translation of Hebrew Māšîaḥ (מָשִׁיחַ), “Messiah”, meaning “anointed”;[SUP][29]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-30)[/SUP][SUP][30]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-31)[/SUP]and mæsse is from Latin missa, the celebration of the Eucharist. The form “Christenmas” was also historically used, but is now considered archaic and dialectal;[SUP][31]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-32)[/SUP] it derives from Middle English Cristenmasse, literally “Christian mass”.[SUP][32]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-XMED-33)[/SUP] “Xmas” is an abbreviation of Christmas found particularly in print, based on the initial letter chi (Χ) in Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), “Christ”, though numerous style guides discourage its use;[SUP][33]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-34)[/SUP] it has precedent in Middle English Χρ̄es masse (where “Χρ̄” is an abbreviation for Χριστός).[SUP][32]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas#cite_note-XMED-33)[/SUP]
