Mohammad Salah's Christmas tweet

Most Pakistanis celebrate Milaad -which marks Prophet Mohammad’ (PBUH) birthday - but refuse to celebrate Christmas? What is the difference between the two?

Well, one celebrates the birthday of Prophet Muhammad whereas the other is supposed to be Jesus Christ's birthday

There is no difference, milad and christmas are cultural celebrations, no need to look too hard to find religious justification for either.

I don't even. It's deliberately ott and bizarre. Wishing happy Christmas is borderline, this... I dunno.

The fans sing they'd rather be in a mosque.. strange way to thank them. Is it an Egyptian thing ?.
 
Not sure what the issue is . Is it because he is Muslim ? “There is no compulsion in religion” if God has said it why are humans trying to be a diety

Remember Egypt also has a big Christian population so people in Egypt are pretty used to doing this kind of thing.

I guess...Coptics celebrate Christmas in January though. Regardless, it's his life. Let him be. I grew up with many christians and don't celebrate Christmas but to each his own.

Isn’t this mostly a consequence of Salah living in England and his children growing up in the English culture.

Many British Muslims who I know, although they do not “celebrate” Christmas do acknowledge its status as an important annual holiday.

Beautiful!!
 
Never had a problem people wishing other religions.

It's not as if they are changing their religion when they say Merry Xmas, or Happy Diwali etc.

Each to their own etc etc but unfortunately the trend among some British muslims is to go all out on christmas but celebrating eid is seen as a chore.

Well they are living in a Christian society so normal that the general mood of the wider public will deep into their own mood too
 
It's funny how some profess that it's unacceptable for Muslims to celebrate Christmas but have no issues with Muslims marrying Christmas.

You are conflating two seperate issues.

Muslim men can marry Christian women...Muslim women are not legally allowed to marry Christian men.

You can use your head to work out the reasons why and then you can understand why muslims find it impermissible to put up trees etc.

Next you guys will be wearing chains with the cross and eating pork but saying its ok because mUsLims CaN mArRy cHriStiAns.

Its the similar logic to that which lgbtq etc use to normalise their beliefs.

Ultimately you guys can do what you like, just admit you want to celebrate Christmas, and man up and own your beliefs...but dont try and make strawman evidence.
 
As a Muslim, I certainly wouldn't be putting up any trees or wearing silly Xmas pjs, but each to their own.
 
These people are just bitter, mainly these Saudi ideology youtubers who want use Salah's name for views.

Check out this idiot.

Glad to see we're on the same page with this.

Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I don't feel the need to poke my nose in other peoples' business.

I saw that video from Ali Dawah earlier today. I actually used to look up to this guy but recently discovered what stopped following him after realising what he really stands for.

He's clearly put up this video for clout.

The best response to the clip was the one that was put on his official FB page shown below:

You assume wrong but I'm not surprised given your judgemental nature. Refer to my above post which will clear up your misconceptions and open your mind a little.

Well said by the chap.

Mo Salah due to his behaviour has become one of the most famous players in the world. His profile is huge now, a statue in Maddam T's, which may also anger the likes of Ali Dawah. My point is the more money he makes, the more people he can help. He has also helped reduce racism/islamaphobia esp in a city like Liverpool.

We have another guy who I think is decent. Eddie from the Deen show criticisng Khamzat Chimiave.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55gg-a6RUGE&t=690s

I really do think they love doing this for views. Its ok to attack others Muslims if it helps you with more bread in your cupboard.

Indeed, Salah is a great role model for Muslims, with or without a Xmas tree. I knew this as soon as he came to Liverpool because I remember that interview when he called on men in his country and across the Muslim world to treat women with more respect.

But Ali Dawah and co won't tell you that because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Good clip by Eddie. Real eye opener there about Khamzat and the origins of Christmas. I knew it had pagan traditions but now I know it was banned by the Church until 1647.

He's built hospitals, saved lives. To criticise such a man is poor taste.

Its fine for Eddie to explain the history of Xmas. Its all Pagan mixed with witchcraft, magic etc. It also has roots going further back. The Sun God was also born on the 25th amongst other similarities.

My problem with Eddie is, he supports Khabib and is a big MMA fan. If wearing a Santa hat is haram, smashing peoples faces for money isnt?
 

City of Liverpool Love Mohammed Salah! What an inspiration this man has been to Liverpool and England.

Yes a part, most MMA contests are striking contests. Even those who wrestle need to strike. Please comment on a sport you know something about.

I almost certainly know more about it no doubt. And yes if wresting is sunnah then other aspects of martial arts are certainly fine since conceptually it’s the same. You are not hurting for sake of hurting. It’s part of a sport.

I know mullahs want us to blindly follow them but Islam actually encourages to use our thinking skills so Please use your brains once in a while whatever you may have.

lol

Sure, I should take your Islamic expertise. I would stop now, MMA involves smashing ones face, can lead to broken arms, broken legs, blood, bruises. So unless you can prove it via texts or show me you are an MMA expert, move on.

Salah has got money. He should have done more than a normal Muslim. That isn't some accomplishment.

Anyone who criticises the mighty Salah is an idiot?
 
I don't have a problem with Salah wishing Merry Christmas on Christmas Day. But celebrating Christmas and posting picture in front of a Christmas tree with his daughters and hijabi wife every year... What is he trying to prove? That he is a Muslim who has integrated into the British society?

I have always disliked Salah and it isn't just because he plays for Liverpool.

He has done more than MOST of the 1.6 billiion including you or am I wrong and you have helped more people?

Criticise his football but to attack him as a person , his personal life or esp his OWN belief is beyond idiotic. Esp by people who know nothing about him.

lol He isnt and doesnt need to prove anything. He is merely showing HIS FANS how his family is and they are happy. Not sure why a Man Utd fan has an issue with Salah living his life esp when your club has an alleged rapist still on the books.

He has done more than you as well. I obviously don't earn the sort of money that he does, nor am I a public figure.

When you are a public figure, people are going to judge you on your beliefs and personal life as well. If he doesn't want to be judged as a person, maybe he needs to stop posting his annual Christmas tweets.

Legally, Greenwood can't be removed from his contract, until his guilt has been proven in court. Benjamin Mendy is still under contact at Man City.

Your club publically supported a racist, Luis Suarez.

Yes Salah cant sleep at night because you and others are crying on some forum or twitter. :))

Yes he has and he is an inspiration not just for me but for hundreds of millions inc the people of Liverpool. Salah is one of the most charitable footballers. Not sure what world you live in but in the real world this is what counts not what he chooses to do with his family.

I know this but you miss the point like a whole in Fergies head. Salah has exemplary character, most Utd players are not to fit to lace his shoes in this regard.

Salah's give charities. Yeah, that is a good thing, but so do a lot of footballers and celebrities. Why is that so inspiring?

Salah is an inspiration because he helps ALL people. Sure others do and they are also inspirations. Salah has rebuit churches, helped anyone regardless of their identity. I dont need to list every inspirational moment has he shown since joining LFC, our fans know it.

Rashford seems a good chap but cant compare to Mo and esp not in football. He should spend more of his time in training as he has not fulfilled his potential. He will never be an ATG player.

I never said that Salah isn't a good person. I don't know why you get so defensive when the mighty Salah gets criticised for posting his annual Christmas tweet.

ATG players are very few and far between. Rashford wasn't be an ATG, but neither will Salah. Maybe Salah will be a Liverpool great, as he helped you win your first league title in thirty years.

Salah is supported by other people who have an identity crisis and think celebrating Christmas is ok

These people don't realise just what they are selling for the price of a few instagram likes and to appear the same as white people.

That's a false story that gets repeated regularly
 
Sherear is due to his longevity, as is Gerrard. Van Persie, I am not sure.

But Gerrard never won the PL.

Salah has won 1 PL, unlucky to not win more as he's been up against a ridiculously good Man-City side.

Salah has had 5 top seasons and set for his 6th, that's enough for me.

What about Hazard, is he a PL great?
 
I am also in awe of how certain footballers like CR7, have an O-type blood group, which means they can donate to any blood group, but can only accept O group. As a result, no Tattoos, because anyone with a tattoo, cannot donate blood.

The same goes for Saleh, no tattoos, ready for donation to save a life, if and when needed!

Such inspirations! Amazing.

I think people use the word great too loosely.

When I think about premier league greats, I am thinking of some of the following players:

Keane, Beckham, Scholes, Cantona, Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Gerrard, Veira, Henry, Adams, Terry, Drogba, Lampard, Cech, Shearer, etc.

I see absolutely nothing wrong in the Salah tweet personally.

So what if his kids celebrate Christmas ? I like it when it’s Christmas and the Christmas spirit. My brother has a Christmas tree for his kids. They love opening presents and giving gifts.

It’s very east to be judgemental but I would advise everyone to focus on themselves to be better people and let people who don’t bother you to let them live their lives on how they wish to live them. Is that too much to ask ?

I'd rather denounce my religion, run around naked across London, and eat Pork than be associated with a belief system such as yours.

Merry Christmas

What you and your brother do behind closed doors is your business. If you want to take part in Christmas, good for you I hope it makes you happy. To me its dumb but I understand people have different ways of finding fulfilment.

However when people deliberate bring something into the public domain and frame it as acceptable, then equally people have the right to express their feelings that it isn't acceptable.

Many non-muslims like to (either deliberately or unknowlingly) use other muslims as an example. Your brothers kids friends will refer to them when they ask their other muslim friends when they don't celebrate Christmas, Salahs non-muslim followers will refer to Salah as an example.

It's therefore important to many of us that our values, traditions and cultures are protected and we speak out against these celebrations.

Then you have no idea how precious religion is, which is fair enough, good for you.

But dont expect the rest of us to sell this beautiful deen for the cheap price you have brother.

You cannot criticise people for judging you and while you make filthy statements like the above.
 
Christmas is pretty secular in my opinion. We all have Christmas party every year where all of our friends and their families wear red and kids exchange gifts. It brings cheer in otherwise cold and gloomy December nights.

Christmas isn't really a religious celebration in the western world, surely you must know this. It's just a general holiday where people get to put up some lights and give presents and enjoy themselves for a week. Putting up a fake tree and hanging some lights on it won't turn you into a Christian. Lighten up.

Not sure why he should lighten up.

You can be blasé about most actions and dismiss them as unimportant and not having an impact.

The fact is as a Muslim there are clear guidelines as to what is or isn't acceptable.

Now, let me be very clear each individual can choose to do what he wants, if they want to put up a tree and all that then that's their decision but what they can't and won't be allowed to do is claim it is acceptable within Islam.

The deen isn't for people to play about with or to be changed.

On the contrary, I fell compelled to educate people who have fallen on the wrong path.
Mostly those who preach and don't actually follow Islam.

It's shameful really but it's there.
God bless

Agreed.

I don't celebrate Christmas myself but it's the intolerance and this fake self righteousness from the anti-Christmas gang that is the issue.

They have no problems with Muslim men marrying Christian Women but get alarmed over a Muslim who celebrates Christmas :)))

so are we celebrating christmas now?

I have noticed its very easy for other denominations to adapt to this except perhaps for Muslims and Jews.


Can we expect Jews to celebrate Christmas? (I am talking orthodox jews)

I think this issue for Pakistani muslims is at the intersection of faith and culture. We largely associate Christmas with non Muslims, europeans, etc, thats what happens when you live in a largely homoegenous nation

What are your qualifications as an Islamic scholar?

Mo Salah doesnt have a Xmas tree because he believes Xmas to be true. Most in the UK dont believe in Xmas or Jesus.

Mo is simply taking part in a huge cultural celebration in the country he resides in.

Spot on. These Dawah type characters like Ali or Eddie from the Deen show are too much influenced by the Saudi puppet version of Islam which is as literal as it gets. These people still roll up their trousers walking around in freezing cold because they fail to understand a simple hadith.

A few points

1) I don't have any qualifications but that's such an unusual stance, I take information on issues from scholars. I presume you do the same, ask them about celebrating Christmas

2) I get you are a Liverpool fan and you rightly love Salah. I think he's a class player but you don't have to defend his actions as a result

3) If you think partaking in actions that are clearly part of Christmas celebrations is acceptable then not sure what form of Islam you are following
 
Where are the guidelines that you can't put up a tree and put some lights on it?

I can provide links but I won't, simply because I'm aware what happens next, a discussion about which scholars or schools of thought you follow.

I simply ask, based on the scholars you trust and take information/guidance on I can see either confidence they won't support such actions.

If you can show otherwise then I'd be happy to look at that information.
 
Agreed.

I don't celebrate Christmas myself but it's the intolerance and this fake self righteousness from the anti-Christmas gang that is the issue.

They have no problems with Muslim men marrying Christian Women but get alarmed over a Muslim who celebrates Christmas :)))

This is a classic nonsensical post.

You've just generalised that a group of people (the "anti-christmas gang") also have no problem with Muslim men marrying Christian women.

A couple of points why it's nonsensical

1) One thing being unacceptable doesn't mean another thing can't be acceptable. It's an absurd link. Like suggesting people who say Muslims shouldn't celebrate Christmas will also say you should only eat Halal meat. Ridiculous and irrelevant link

2) Unless you can pinpoint someone that holds both positions then raising it is pointless. If you can do that then you need to direct it to that individual.
 
A few points

1) I don't have any qualifications but that's such an unusual stance, I take information on issues from scholars. I presume you do the same, ask them about celebrating Christmas

2) I get you are a Liverpool fan and you rightly love Salah. I think he's a class player but you don't have to defend his actions as a result

3) If you think partaking in actions that are clearly part of Christmas celebrations is acceptable then not sure what form of Islam you are following

1. Im not the one giving verdicts about others.

2. I see nothing wrong with it even if Salah played for Newcastle.

3. I dont take part but I wish merry Xmas and give gifts to my neighours esp the elderly. You never wished anyone Merry Xmas? Or accepted or given a Xmas gift?
