Jazakallah khair, Semar. I'm glad that I became Muslim. I have a question: My daughter is inviting me to visit her and the grandchildren on Christmas and I know that as a Muslim I can't celebrate it any more, what should I do? My daughter already knows that I converted to Islam. |

Salam/Peace,
Visit doesn't mean celebrate. You don't have to sing, pray along with them right. Just enjoy the day eat, talk etc. So it's should be OK. IMHO, we should continue our relationship with our friends and family no mater their faith are.

Salaam want2know!!! :-) Mubarak (congratulations) on becoming our Sister in Islam! May Allah shower His blessings upon you and make this life & the hereafter easy for you. There is no harm in you socializing with your non-Muslim relatives. You don't have to (and shouldn't) cut-off from family celebrations. You can still attend birthdays, Christmases etc whilst maintaining your Islamic lifestyle i.e. you can not pray etc, but still be present. Infact this is a good opportunity to show them that while you may have changed inside as a Muslim - you are still the same person & they haven't 'lost' their grandma/mom. Good opportunity to share your 'new & improved' self. Here is an opinion on this, while it is on Thanksgiving - they pretty much apply here as well, do take a look: http://www.suhaibwebb.com/islam-studies/can-i-give-thanks-and-throw-down-on-some-turkey-this-week/ |
