Christmas is an annual Christian religious
holiday commemorating the birth of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him. For many
Muslims who do not even celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, it becomes an issue of what stand they should take.
There have been a number of legitimate criticisms of the holiday from Muslims
and non-Muslims based on theological and cultural considerations. However, this
cannot be used to disregard the holiday as merely an exercise in ancient pagan
practices, for instance, or excessive consumerism. Muslims have to remember that
for practicing Christians, Christmas really is about Jesus .
Prophet Muhammad  ,
was so accommodating of Christians that according to the two earliest Islamic
historians, Ibn e Saad and Ibn Hisham, the Prophet even allowed a delegation of
60 Byzantine Christians from Najran in Yemen to worship in his own mosque in
Madinah. Lead by their bishop (Usquf), they had come to discuss a number of
issues with him. When time of their prayer came, they asked the Prophet's
permission to perform this in the mosque. He answered, "conduct your
service here in the mosque. It is a place consecrated to God."

Jesus in the Quran
|
|
Jesus or Isa in Arabic (peace be upon him)
is of great significance in both Islam and Christianity. However, there are
differences in terms of beliefs about the nature and life occurrences of Jesus .
There are about 71 verses in the Quran that refer to Prophet Jesus. Following is
a translation and explanation of Chapter 3 verses 44 thru 60 by Sayyid Abul Ala
Mawdudi, English rendering by Muhammad Akbar.
O Muhammad, these
are the "unseen" things, We are revealing to you: you were not present
there when the priests of the Temple were casting lots by throwing their quills
to decide which of them should be the guardian of Mary: 43 nor were
you with them when they were arguing about it. Quran
3:44
Note 43: As Mary was a girl
who had been dedicated by her mother to the Temple in the way of God, the
question of her guardianship had become a problem for the keepers because of her
sex. They were therefore casting lots to decide the delicate problem.

We are all visitors
There is a story of a very pious man
who was quite famous for his teachings.
One day some people passing through the town heard about this man and
went to visit him.
Upon entering his dwelling they saw the teacher sitting on a mat with a
small table and books neatly stacked.
The visitors asked "Honorable teacher, where is your
furniture?"
The teacher replied, "Where is yours?"
The visitors responded, "But we are only visitors here."
The teacher replied, "So am I."
