Ali Dawah - Can we say Merry christmas？？

00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

00:00:27.000 Brothers and sisters and dear friends

00:00:28.560 Before I start I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.93

00:00:30.440 The most merciful, the most just

00:00:31.740 All praises, glory and gratitude belong to Him

00:00:33.920 For allowing us to convey these messages to you

00:00:36.720 And these advisors

00:00:37.460 With these two lovely brothers next to me as you can see

00:00:39.900 We're going to be discussing the topic of saying Merry Christmas

00:00:44.540 To Christians

00:00:46.260 And a few other aspects as well

00:00:48.960 It's not going to be like a fatwa 0.93

00:00:50.360 We're not giving fatwas out, you know 0.98

00:00:51.740 We're not scholars

00:00:52.640 But it's a general advice

00:00:54.160 And I've got here Brother Julian

00:00:55.200 Who's a revert from a background which is Christianity 1.00

00:00:57.240 Yes, yes

00:00:58.560 Yes

00:00:58.840 So basically it's good that we have him here

00:01:00.900 Because we're going to be discussing that matter in depth

00:01:02.380 Then we have Brother Musa

00:01:04.040 Who's going to be giving us a bit of his side of

00:01:06.680 Not his side of the story

00:01:07.860 But obviously touch up on the video

00:01:09.320 Now the reason why I did this video

00:01:10.820 Is because I made a post on Facebook

00:01:12.900 Regarding this matter

00:01:14.140 And I just thought okay

00:01:14.900 You know it's common sense

00:01:15.860 You know we

00:01:16.220 As Muslims

00:01:17.480 We do not say Merry Christmas

00:01:19.120 To Christians

00:01:19.860 We just don't see it

00:01:21.100 We respect their religion

00:01:22.520 No problem

00:01:23.280 Do your religion

00:01:23.840 Nobody's stopping your religion

00:01:24.920 Nobody's stopping you celebrating

00:01:27.080 Whatever it may be

00:01:28.540 But as Muslims

00:01:30.060 A consensus

00:01:31.340 Which we're going to have

00:01:32.860 There's a link at the bottom of Islam Q&A

00:01:35.140 Which you can check yourself

00:01:36.080 Regarding the matters of saying Merry Christmas

00:01:37.880 And Happy Holidays etc

00:01:39.840 You can go there and check it out yourself

00:01:41.620 The fatwa is there 0.97

00:01:42.560 But regarding

00:01:44.380 As Muslims

00:01:45.520 We know that we can't say Merry Christmas

00:01:46.780 Now it was a bit shocking to me

00:01:48.660 To do a Facebook post

00:01:50.400 And then find Muslims 1.00

00:01:52.060 Coming and saying 0.95

00:01:53.020 Hey what are you talking about

00:01:54.140 Why can't I say Merry Christmas

00:01:56.000 My intentions are clean

00:01:57.060 I'm

00:01:57.440 You know

00:01:57.900 I'm not doing it for that reason

00:01:59.540 Or this reason

00:02:00.140 So I was like

00:02:01.260 Okay

00:02:01.620 Christmas is gone

00:02:03.340 And today is obviously the

00:02:04.640 Day after it

00:02:05.720 So I thought

00:02:06.780 Okay hold on a second

00:02:07.580 Let me do this video

00:02:08.980 It has to be done

00:02:09.780 Because it's sad

00:02:10.880 That we have Muslims 0.58

00:02:12.020 Forget saying Merry Christmas

00:02:13.660 They're celebrating Christmas

00:02:15.000 So obviously

00:02:16.660 Like I said before

00:02:17.420 I wanted to do this video

00:02:18.340 Okay so getting straight to the point

00:02:19.640 Brothers and sisters

00:02:20.100 What I truly believe

00:02:21.100 From seeing those Facebook posts

00:02:22.600 What I've realised is

00:02:24.460 Muslims out there don't know 1.00

00:02:26.660 What Tawheed is really about

00:02:28.580 And they do not

00:02:29.780 Understand the severity of Shirk

00:02:31.980 Because for you to go there

00:02:34.220 And act like it's okay

00:02:36.280 And say Merry Christmas

00:02:37.260 To me that shows

00:02:38.760 You really do not understand

00:02:40.120 The severity of what Shirk is

00:02:41.720 Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 1.00

00:02:43.420 In the Quran tells us

00:02:44.880 One of the biggest sins

00:02:47.080 Is Shirk 0.68

00:02:47.940 Murder

00:02:48.620 And Zina

00:02:49.580 Yes

00:02:50.060 I want to give you guys an example

00:02:51.620 Murder

00:02:52.320 Yeah

00:02:52.760 If

00:02:53.860 Somebody killed

00:02:55.560 Somebody in your family 0.72

00:02:56.880 He came and killed your brother 0.69

00:02:58.240 Yeah

00:02:58.640 And after doing that killing

00:03:00.780 He made it

00:03:01.780 A celebration

00:03:03.840 For example

00:03:04.540 Yeah

00:03:04.760 And he wanted to celebrate

00:03:06.080 Every year

00:03:06.720 The killing 0.97

00:03:07.360 Of your brother 0.99

00:03:08.180 And while this is happening

00:03:09.740 Other people in your family members

00:03:12.460 And you go and say

00:03:13.400 For example

00:03:14.360 Happy killing day

00:03:15.240 Yeah 0.94

00:03:15.520 To you now it might sound like 0.70

00:03:17.100 What the hell 0.53

00:03:17.500 What kind of a weird 0.97

00:03:18.240 Weird absurd

00:03:19.080 Example is that

00:03:20.660 Murder

00:03:21.720 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.81

00:03:22.380 Is one of the biggest sins

00:03:23.660 Yes

00:03:24.060 Would you go and say 0.93

00:03:25.340 Happy killing day 0.93

00:03:26.000 Would you do that 0.99

00:03:27.340 No

00:03:27.600 Why

00:03:27.960 Because you're deeply hurt

00:03:29.180 Inside because it was a family member

00:03:30.400 Yes

00:03:31.100 Number two

00:03:32.400 The matter of Zina

00:03:33.360 If your friend came to you

00:03:35.260 Today and said

00:03:36.180 Hey

00:03:36.400 I'm going to go link that girl 1.00

00:03:38.120 Or there's this guy

00:03:39.080 And I'm going to come at Zina 1.00

00:03:40.080 Would you turn around to your friend

00:03:41.740 Muslim friend

00:03:42.500 And say

00:03:42.920 Hey

00:03:43.140 Have a great time

00:03:44.280 Would you say that

00:03:45.640 You know deep inside

00:03:47.100 You'll see that

00:03:47.540 You'll find it weird 0.88

00:03:48.120 What the hell

00:03:48.600 Like they're doing that

00:03:49.320 I should be advising them

00:03:50.420 Now

00:03:51.640 Zina is bad 1.00

00:03:52.860 Yes 0.86

00:03:53.280 Murder is bad 0.99

00:03:54.520 What is the biggest sin in Islam 1.00

00:03:57.040 Shirk 0.71

00:03:58.440 Shirk is worse than anything

00:04:00.600 But when it comes to shirk

00:04:03.060 You say

00:04:03.540 Hey

00:04:03.920 What's wrong with Merry Christmas

00:04:05.700 That's why I personally believe

00:04:08.300 As your brother

00:04:08.940 In Islam

00:04:09.760 Advising you

00:04:10.900 Excuse me

00:04:11.680 Advising you

00:04:12.420 That

00:04:13.040 The matter of shirk

00:04:14.440 You haven't understood it

00:04:15.460 That's why it's so easy

00:04:16.240 For you to say

00:04:16.660 Hey

00:04:16.820 What's wrong with saying Merry Christmas

00:04:17.940 Or Happy Holidays

00:04:19.080 But

00:04:19.800 What

00:04:21.400 What would you say

00:04:22.420 Why do Muslims 1.00

00:04:23.840 Like I said

00:04:25.060 I personally believe

00:04:25.800 It's because

00:04:26.260 They have a lack of understanding

00:04:27.680 Of what Tawheed is 1.00

00:04:28.480 And the severity of shirk 0.64

00:04:29.820 Yeah

00:04:30.300 But what's your take on it

00:04:31.260 I think it's that

00:04:32.300 Yeah

00:04:32.540 There's also other things

00:04:34.020 In love

00:04:34.440 Yeah

00:04:34.980 Things like

00:04:35.700 Muslims

00:04:36.660 Always feeling the need to

00:04:38.260 Please

00:04:40.760 Yeah

00:04:41.440 Or

00:04:41.920 Justify

00:04:43.040 Their own actions

00:04:44.160 So

00:04:44.840 Because they want to

00:04:45.900 Justify their own actions

00:04:46.920 And because they feel like

00:04:48.620 Society is so against them

00:04:49.980 We want to fit into society

00:04:51.380 Okay

00:04:51.680 So we're going to say

00:04:52.620 Merry Christmas

00:04:53.460 We're going to say this

00:04:54.280 We're going to say that

00:04:55.040 Just to show them

00:04:55.680 We're going to dress a certain way

00:04:56.940 We're going to wear certain clothes

00:04:58.120 Yeah

00:04:58.340 We're going to cut our beds a certain way

00:05:00.200 We're going to wear hijabs a certain way 1.00

00:05:01.120 Because we have to fit into society

00:05:03.080 And especially when

00:05:04.540 That's true

00:05:04.780 A lot of things are happening

00:05:06.060 Whether in Syria

00:05:07.060 Wherever

00:05:07.620 Around the world

00:05:08.920 And Muslims are being made 1.00

00:05:10.240 To look a certain way

00:05:11.160 Yeah

00:05:11.420 A lot of Muslims

00:05:12.400 When things like Christmas come

00:05:13.980 They feel they need to

00:05:15.500 Be normal

00:05:16.740 In inverted commas

00:05:17.720 Yeah

00:05:18.040 And they think that

00:05:18.960 Things like Christmas

00:05:19.760 Are normal

00:05:20.420 Celebrating the new years

00:05:21.480 Is normal

00:05:21.960 Yeah

00:05:22.380 But what you have to understand is

00:05:23.620 Like then some Muslims come 1.00

00:05:26.380 And they give the example

00:05:27.500 Oh on Eid

00:05:28.440 My neighbour John

00:05:29.280 Comes to me

00:05:29.780 And says happy Eid

00:05:30.580 Or have a this that

00:05:31.340 Yeah

00:05:31.540 What you have to understand is

00:05:32.640 For example

00:05:33.040 When your neighbour John

00:05:34.080 Says to you

00:05:34.740 Yeah

00:05:34.980 Have a happy Eid

00:05:35.820 Yeah

00:05:36.120 That doesn't make him

00:05:36.880 Any less of a Christian 1.00

00:05:37.840 Exactly

00:05:38.020 In Christianity

00:05:38.500 There's nothing wrong with that

00:05:39.600 Exactly

00:05:39.940 In Islam

00:05:41.020 There's concepts like

00:05:42.940 Shirk

00:05:43.300 Kufr

00:05:44.020 Yes

00:05:44.420 You know

00:05:44.780 Certain things are haram

00:05:46.460 We have those limits

00:05:47.660 Do you understand

00:05:48.300 And just because

00:05:49.940 We have those limits

00:05:50.920 That doesn't mean that

00:05:51.840 If other people

00:05:52.740 Non-Muslims 1.00

00:05:53.420 And the majority of the world

00:05:54.560 Doesn't have those limits

00:05:55.480 We say oh

00:05:56.280 We need to be like them now

00:05:57.540 Exactly

00:05:57.640 Or we feel this like

00:05:58.480 Void inside us

00:05:59.420 Exactly

00:05:59.720 No

00:05:59.940 Christmas yeah

00:06:01.220 Is 0.88

00:06:01.400 You know

00:06:02.360 Happens etc

00:06:03.360 Whatever

00:06:03.760 Day Christmas yeah

00:06:04.680 Yeah

00:06:04.980 It happens

00:06:05.660 Just because the world celebrates it

00:06:07.640 Just because you walk in H&M

00:06:08.900 Or next

00:06:09.360 And you go

00:06:09.700 Christmas sales

00:06:10.600 In inverted commas

00:06:11.620 Or New Year's Day

00:06:12.440 Or anything like that

00:06:13.300 Fireworks are going off in Dubai

00:06:14.960 Wherever

00:06:15.360 In all of the

00:06:16.620 You know

00:06:16.860 Some of the Muslim countries

00:06:17.860 That doesn't mean that

00:06:19.100 We as Muslims

00:06:20.100 Need to start endorsing

00:06:21.380 Non-Muslim activities 0.82

00:06:22.560 Do you understand

00:06:23.240 That's what I have to say

00:06:24.280 Yeah

00:06:24.520 Thank you very much

00:06:25.280 For your take

00:06:25.820 What is sad is

00:06:27.460 Obviously

00:06:28.040 There's

00:06:29.200 Muslims

00:06:30.460 Who have Christian families out there 1.00

00:06:32.100 Who are sometimes in a dilemma

00:06:33.560 Like oh

00:06:34.040 It's like

00:06:34.480 It's hard

00:06:34.920 Do you get it

00:06:35.540 Now with them

00:06:36.120 You can look at them

00:06:36.700 Like if one of them

00:06:37.280 Just slipped out of their mouth

00:06:38.260 And said Merry Christmas

00:06:39.120 You will say

00:06:39.880 You know what

00:06:40.400 Maybe it was just that

00:06:41.860 Because the family

00:06:42.300 Do you get it

00:06:43.220 Even though it's wrong

00:06:44.360 Merry Christmas as it is

00:06:45.540 It's wrong

00:06:46.160 Do you get what I'm trying to say

00:06:46.760 But you can say

00:06:47.540 You know what

00:06:48.000 Okay the guy's family is there

00:06:49.280 It just slipped out of his mouth

00:06:50.820 Mistake

00:06:51.580 Okay

00:06:51.940 And they might repent to Allah

00:06:53.540 I'm asking

00:06:54.640 My main purpose is

00:06:56.340 To Muslims out there in general

00:06:57.680 Who are born to Muslim households

00:06:59.020 What is your excuse

00:07:00.620 Like for example

00:07:01.240 If you do not say Merry Christmas

00:07:03.120 Is it so big that

00:07:05.140 You know you will end up

00:07:06.080 Being

00:07:06.700 I don't know for example

00:07:07.660 Being attacked by these individuals

00:07:09.140 Like what is it that

00:07:10.380 Like

00:07:10.760 Like I said before

00:07:11.760 Like what is it that

00:07:12.480 Will affect you so much

00:07:13.660 And

00:07:14.420 I want you guys to understand

00:07:15.820 What I'm about to tell you 0.99

00:07:17.720 Is the severity of shit 0.99

00:07:19.060 And I'm going to give you guys a story 0.99

00:07:20.640 And this story

00:07:21.440 This story is of a scholar

00:07:23.400 Where he was teaching

00:07:24.580 He was teaching his students

00:07:26.880 About Tawheed

00:07:27.800 Right

00:07:28.100 The oneness of Allah

00:07:28.940 The matter of Shirk

00:07:30.020 And he was teaching them

00:07:30.920 For a long period of time

00:07:32.360 Till the students came and said

00:07:33.820 Oh teacher

00:07:34.680 Like we've learnt this

00:07:36.020 Now can we just move on

00:07:37.100 So he said

00:07:38.200 Are you sure

00:07:38.800 He said yes

00:07:39.440 And his students said yes

00:07:40.260 Let's move on

00:07:41.280 So what happened is

00:07:42.340 The teacher next day

00:07:43.880 Comes and tests them

00:07:44.940 Yeah

00:07:45.260 And I want

00:07:46.080 To test you guys

00:07:47.620 Two stories I'm going to tell you

00:07:49.800 Number one

00:07:50.760 He goes to his students

00:07:51.540 And says

00:07:52.020 Did you hear

00:07:53.160 That there is

00:07:53.840 Across that street

00:07:55.060 In that house

00:07:55.780 A man 0.99

00:07:56.820 Who has sexual intercourse 1.00

00:07:58.300 With his own 1.00

00:07:59.220 Mother

00:08:00.160 I repeat 1.00

00:08:01.620 He has sexual intercourse 1.00

00:08:03.180 With his own 1.00

00:08:04.580 Mother

00:08:05.080 We said zina 1.00

00:08:06.120 Is one of the major sins

00:08:07.180 And when his students

00:08:08.960 He heard this

00:08:09.420 They were like

00:08:09.880 What the hell 0.78

00:08:10.560 He had zina 0.99

00:08:11.520 With his own mother

00:08:12.380 Like

00:08:13.300 Let's just go and 1.00

00:08:14.480 Attack this guy 0.99

00:08:15.120 You know what I'm saying 1.00

00:08:15.500 That is disgusting 0.94

00:08:16.460 So then the sheikh 0.99

00:08:18.100 Carries on and says

00:08:19.180 Also did you guys hear

00:08:20.640 In that house

00:08:21.360 They slaughter

00:08:22.540 In the name

00:08:23.760 Of

00:08:24.520 Not of Allah 0.95

00:08:25.300 Of another deity

00:08:26.400 Right

00:08:27.160 Another god

00:08:27.780 And they had a reaction

00:08:29.740 As well

00:08:30.220 The students had a reaction

00:08:31.740 As well

00:08:32.160 But the reaction

00:08:33.480 Of the first one

00:08:34.320 Of the guy sleeping

00:08:35.060 With his mother

00:08:35.600 Was much more worse

00:08:36.740 Than them

00:08:37.960 The story of

00:08:39.840 That house

00:08:41.320 Slaughtering in the name 0.98

00:08:42.300 Of another god

00:08:42.920 So the sheikh said

00:08:44.180 This is the reason

00:08:45.080 Why you guys

00:08:46.280 Haven't understood

00:08:46.800 Tawheed

00:08:47.240 You guys haven't understood

00:08:48.480 The severity of shirk

00:08:49.600 Because you have found 0.80

00:08:51.040 It more disgusting

00:08:52.000 That a man commits zina 1.00

00:08:53.700 With his own mother

00:08:54.820 Whereas shirk

00:08:56.240 Is a million times

00:08:58.020 More worse than that

00:08:58.840 That's why I wanted

00:09:00.000 To do this video

00:09:00.600 Brothers and sisters

00:09:01.320 Excuse me

00:09:03.520 This is the reason

00:09:04.140 Why I wanted to do

00:09:04.660 This video

00:09:04.960 Brothers and sisters

00:09:05.480 Because this is

00:09:06.760 How much of

00:09:08.220 A sin it is

00:09:09.220 That Allah

00:09:09.500 Says the mountains

00:09:10.520 Are about to crumble

00:09:11.280 The earth is about to open

00:09:12.400 And the skies are about

00:09:13.620 To explode

00:09:14.320 And we

00:09:15.300 Happily

00:09:16.060 You know what

00:09:16.940 Really saddens me 0.53

00:09:17.720 We have Muslims

00:09:20.480 Like nobody's perfect

00:09:22.140 May Allah guide us all

00:09:23.140 You don't even pray

00:09:24.540 Five times a day

00:09:25.540 You don't give

00:09:26.820 Allah's rights 1.00

00:09:27.540 You don't even fast

00:09:28.980 And then you come

00:09:30.040 Up to individuals

00:09:31.000 And say hey

00:09:31.360 What's wrong

00:09:31.700 With saying Merry Christmas

00:09:32.560 Not only are you 0.97

00:09:34.360 Ungrateful to Allah 0.98

00:09:35.080 Now you're saying

00:09:35.660 You know what

00:09:36.160 I need to please

00:09:37.620 The people

00:09:38.120 People

00:09:38.580 Allah

00:09:39.720 I'm sorry

00:09:40.520 Yes

00:09:40.940 I don't care

00:09:42.620 What kind of

00:09:44.660 Disgrace

00:09:46.100 Or the words

00:09:46.520 That I'm saying

00:09:46.940 Against you

00:09:47.500 As long as

00:09:48.440 The people

00:09:48.740 Are okay

00:09:49.060 Merry Christmas

00:09:50.400 You happy

00:09:51.160 You accept me

00:09:52.380 What

00:09:53.260 You know

00:09:53.480 Allah says in the Quran

00:09:54.540 Allah says in the Quran

00:09:55.580 The Christians 0.94

00:09:56.300 And the Jews 0.84

00:09:56.860 Will never 0.85

00:09:57.740 Ever be happy

00:09:59.120 Until you leave

00:09:59.920 Your religion

00:10:00.320 Now I do not mean

00:10:01.320 This in a way

00:10:01.780 Of oh Christians 0.96

00:10:02.460 And Jews 1.00

00:10:02.840 They're bad 0.98

00:10:03.740 I'm not saying that

00:10:04.860 Because Christians

00:10:06.060 And Jews 0.98

00:10:06.340 I have friends

00:10:06.920 Do you get it

00:10:07.400 I have people

00:10:07.980 That I know

00:10:08.500 That are lovely people

00:10:09.640 Lovely people

00:10:10.620 I respect your religion

00:10:11.960 But I will not say

00:10:13.060 Merry Christmas

00:10:13.640 And the same thing

00:10:15.240 I just want to wrap it up

00:10:16.700 The same thing could be said

00:10:17.760 With happy holidays

00:10:19.180 Like I'm not giving a fatwa 0.99

00:10:20.800 Like I said before

00:10:21.500 But for you to say

00:10:22.560 Happy holiday

00:10:23.720 Right

00:10:24.160 Now intentions

00:10:25.720 Just because

00:10:26.560 You want to give them

00:10:28.020 Dawah

00:10:28.440 And be kind

00:10:29.740 Just because your intentions

00:10:31.220 Are right

00:10:31.660 Doesn't mean you use

00:10:32.700 The wrong means

00:10:33.320 To achieve that

00:10:34.060 You get it

00:10:35.180 Like

00:10:35.540 What's the point

00:10:37.320 Of me saying

00:10:38.100 Okay

00:10:38.380 For me to get closer

00:10:39.420 To this individual

00:10:40.240 This girl

00:10:40.880 I need to give a dawah 0.99

00:10:41.660 So let me go

00:10:42.980 Start chilling with her

00:10:43.740 Going out

00:10:44.240 Get a bit closer

00:10:44.860 To show her

00:10:45.280 Look I'm a Muslim

00:10:45.780 I'm a good person

00:10:46.600 We can chill

00:10:47.440 Okay

00:10:48.360 My intentions is good

00:10:49.260 But the way I go about it

00:10:50.540 Is wrong

00:10:50.920 We need to understand

00:10:52.140 That the Prophet

00:10:52.560 Peace be upon him

00:10:53.260 Has taught us

00:10:54.340 The actions

00:10:55.740 The intentions

00:10:56.680 Have to be there

00:10:57.380 MashaAllah

00:10:57.660 You've got the intentions

00:10:58.320 But if your actions

00:10:59.460 Are not according to the sunnah

00:11:00.980 It won't be accepted from you

00:11:03.860 Sorry guys

00:11:04.200 So I want to play a little clip

00:11:05.160 Of the Quran 0.78

00:11:05.840 From Surah Maryam

00:11:06.920 Verse 88

00:11:07.920 Onwards

00:11:08.880 How Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.93

00:11:10.300 Describes

00:11:11.060 The matter of shirk

00:11:12.640 The severity

00:11:13.720 We're just quickly

00:11:14.680 Going to play that

00:11:15.200 For you guys

00:11:15.580 Inshallah

00:11:15.920 أعوذ بالله

00:11:18.060 من الشيطان الرجيم

00:11:20.000 وقالوا

00:11:20.760 اتخذ الرحمن ولدا

00:11:23.180 لقد جئتم شيئا إدا

00:11:26.160 تكاد السماوات

00:11:28.320 يتفطرن منه

00:11:30.100 وتنشق الأرض

00:11:31.940 وتخر الجبال

00:11:34.780 تكاد السماوات

00:11:37.060 يتفطرن منه

00:11:38.800 وتنشق الأرض

00:11:40.780 وتخر الجبال

00:11:42.440 هدا

00:11:43.100 وتخر الجبال

00:11:45.100 أندعوا لررحمن ولدا

00:11:50.100 أندعوا لررحمن ولدا

00:11:53.440 وما يندغي لررحمن

00:11:56.360 أن يتخذ وندا

00:11:58.440 So guys

00:11:59.560 You heard it for yourself

00:12:00.720 And I'm just going to repeat it

00:12:01.860 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.81

00:12:02.660 Says in the Quran

00:12:03.260 In Surah Maryam

00:12:04.020 They say that

00:12:05.080 All-Merciful Ar-Rahman

00:12:06.220 Has got

00:12:06.720 Allah has got 0.85

00:12:07.500 A son

00:12:08.560 Indeed you have come up

00:12:10.320 With such a disgraceful thing

00:12:12.300 That

00:12:13.760 The heavens will explode

00:12:15.720 And the earth is about

00:12:17.260 To burst apart

00:12:18.060 And the mountains

00:12:19.220 To fall down crumbling

00:12:20.760 This is your Lord

00:12:22.780 Speaking to you

00:12:23.460 And telling you

00:12:24.060 The severity

00:12:24.840 Of them claiming

00:12:26.920 The Christians claiming 1.00

00:12:27.840 That Allah

00:12:29.060 The Almighty

00:12:29.900 Has begotten a son

00:12:31.880 Now

00:12:33.040 Do you think

00:12:33.940 The Christians 0.94

00:12:34.340 Just believe this

00:12:35.100 That he's just

00:12:35.780 The son of God

00:12:36.360 No

00:12:37.100 Majority of them

00:12:38.900 Believe that

00:12:39.700 Astaghfirullah

00:12:40.760 Jesus is a part of Allah 1.00

00:12:42.340 He's

00:12:43.140 The Trinity

00:12:44.740 Seeing son of God

00:12:47.200 Is worse

00:12:48.020 Seeing he's a part of Allah 0.99

00:12:49.680 Is even worse

00:12:51.580 And that's why

00:12:53.120 You guys

00:12:53.560 Need to understand

00:12:54.620 The severity

00:12:55.120 Of what you're doing

00:12:55.820 So brothers and sisters

00:12:56.380 One thing that I want you guys

00:12:57.320 To understand is

00:12:57.820 You do not understand

00:12:58.660 The severity of shirk

00:12:59.700 Because Allah says in the Quran

00:13:01.000 That the ones who die upon shirk 0.99

00:13:02.640 I will never ever forgive them

00:13:04.220 Now I just want to ask you guys

00:13:05.380 A simple question

00:13:06.060 If you know shirk is so bad

00:13:08.500 Why would I risk

00:13:10.340 Committing that act

00:13:11.820 That blasphemy 0.98

00:13:12.860 Where Allah says

00:13:13.700 Like I said before

00:13:14.520 How severe it is

00:13:15.980 Why would I risk that

00:13:17.700 By just going to somebody

00:13:19.260 And saying Merry Christmas

00:13:20.320 When I can avoid it

00:13:21.720 I can really avoid it

00:13:23.180 So why would you guys risk it

00:13:25.000 Knowing how sinful shirk is 0.93

00:13:26.920 Why would you risk

00:13:28.040 Going to somebody

00:13:28.720 And like I said before

00:13:30.060 It's not like

00:13:30.580 You're Muslim

00:13:31.720 And you have Christian family

00:13:32.920 Which is awkward

00:13:34.040 You're not even in that scenario

00:13:35.240 To say

00:13:35.560 You're not even in that scenario

00:13:37.880 Right

00:13:38.160 You don't have a problem of

00:13:39.140 Okay my kinship might break up

00:13:40.700 My mum might not speak to me

00:13:41.620 My dad might disown me

00:13:42.520 Etc

00:13:42.840 Even though that happens

00:13:44.020 Like you shouldn't

00:13:45.000 Even like

00:13:45.560 Okay just because that happens

00:13:46.340 You should say Merry Christmas

00:13:47.460 But you're not even

00:13:48.640 In that situation

00:13:49.920 But you just think

00:13:51.040 It's okay to say Merry Christmas

00:13:52.200 Brother Julian

00:13:54.840 Brother Julian

00:13:55.260 You yourself

00:13:56.020 Your family is Christian

00:13:57.560 Yes

00:13:58.140 They celebrate Christmas

00:13:59.020 Yeah

00:13:59.580 How do you deal with it

00:14:00.740 Do you get it

00:14:01.220 And do you say

00:14:03.020 For example

00:14:03.680 Okay

00:14:04.600 Like the reason why

00:14:05.640 I'm bringing you in

00:14:06.200 Is because

00:14:06.640 As a Muslim

00:14:08.880 That has Christian family members

00:14:10.400 Yeah

00:14:10.900 Sometimes you might be

00:14:12.200 Calling to be like

00:14:12.840 Oh you know

00:14:13.660 It's tough

00:14:14.260 Do you get what I'm trying to say

00:14:15.200 Like

00:14:15.980 What would you say

00:14:18.240 Like what would you do

00:14:18.780 In that situation

00:14:19.560 Like when your family

00:14:20.420 Come and say to you

00:14:21.140 Merry Christmas

00:14:21.820 First of all

00:14:24.260 My family knows

00:14:25.240 Yeah

00:14:25.780 That

00:14:26.840 They don't have to

00:14:28.440 Wish me a Merry Christmas

00:14:29.920 Okay ma sha Allah

00:14:30.620 I already told them

00:14:31.400 Like I don't celebrate it

00:14:32.940 So

00:14:33.320 Yeah

00:14:33.780 I'm not gonna say it back

00:14:35.400 So there's no reason to

00:14:36.720 Yeah

00:14:37.180 Even

00:14:37.740 Wish me something like that

00:14:39.540 And alhamdulillah

00:14:40.360 They respect it

00:14:41.300 And they

00:14:41.780 Even these days

00:14:43.180 They didn't come up to me

00:14:45.340 Wishing me a Merry Christmas

00:14:46.600 So I told them that

00:14:48.380 And I think it's important

00:14:49.680 To

00:14:50.240 Inform your family

00:14:52.300 About

00:14:52.840 About these things

00:14:54.100 And that

00:14:54.460 It's not

00:14:54.920 It's not appropriate

00:14:56.440 For a Muslim

00:14:57.040 Yeah

00:14:57.480 To say Merry Christmas

00:14:58.980 Yeah

00:14:59.500 To celebrate it

00:15:00.920 But

00:15:01.740 You have to do it

00:15:02.540 In a respectful manner

00:15:03.940 Like in

00:15:04.400 In the best of manners

00:15:05.660 Yeah

00:15:05.920 I've

00:15:08.140 I've tried my best

00:15:09.200 Alhamdulillah

00:15:09.740 My family accepts it

00:15:11.100 And

00:15:11.420 Yeah

00:15:13.260 I think it's important

00:15:14.460 To

00:15:15.240 Let your

00:15:17.980 Let your family know

00:15:19.020 That you respect

00:15:19.960 Their religion

00:15:20.820 Or their beliefs

00:15:21.700 Yeah

00:15:22.020 But you don't

00:15:23.100 Yeah

00:15:23.340 You don't

00:15:24.520 You don't

00:15:25.200 Celebrate it with them

00:15:27.320 Yeah

00:15:27.640 Yeah

00:15:28.520 Thank you very much

00:15:29.000 And like I said before

00:15:30.160 Me

00:15:31.280 My video is mainly

00:15:32.280 For those Muslims out there

00:15:33.500 Yeah

00:15:33.660 Now when it comes to reverse

00:15:35.140 Just quickly

00:15:35.700 I want to say something

00:15:36.340 Is that look

00:15:37.360 I don't know your situation

00:15:38.980 I don't know what you go through

00:15:40.280 Merry Christmas

00:15:41.200 I'm being honest

00:15:42.320 Look

00:15:42.460 We can't say it

00:15:43.380 You get it

00:15:43.960 We can't say it

00:15:45.260 What you're uttering

00:15:46.520 Is basically

00:15:47.120 Have a good day

00:15:48.360 Have a beautiful day

00:15:49.480 Enjoy yourself

00:15:50.700 Associating partners of Allah

00:15:52.000 That's what you're saying

00:15:53.180 The fact that

00:15:53.680 You can say to me

00:15:54.340 My intentions are not that

00:15:55.380 But I'm telling you

00:15:56.320 My dear brother

00:15:56.800 And my dear sister

00:15:57.480 The fact that you're saying that

00:15:58.960 That's

00:16:00.400 That's what it means

00:16:01.160 And

00:16:02.540 You should specifically

00:16:04.460 Because

00:16:04.740 Kinship 0.91

00:16:05.600 Breaking kinship in your family

00:16:06.820 Is a big

00:16:07.820 Sin as well

00:16:08.800 So if you're

00:16:09.640 If you're

00:16:10.420 If you have Christian 0.96

00:16:11.140 You're a Muslim 0.99

00:16:12.720 And you have Christian family members

00:16:13.840 And there is certain issues

00:16:15.400 That you want answers to

00:16:16.100 Which I can't answer to

00:16:16.940 I'm not a scholar

00:16:17.520 Go to a scholar 0.98

00:16:18.760 With your situation

00:16:20.020 And ask them

00:16:21.300 Maybe they will give you

00:16:22.380 Some kind of fatwa

00:16:23.580 Obviously not a fatwa 0.97

00:16:24.420 Say no

00:16:24.700 Go and say Merry Christmas

00:16:25.560 But a fatwa

00:16:26.320 According to your situation

00:16:27.400 And what's going on

00:16:28.040 In your household

00:16:28.680 Which will be

00:16:29.580 Better as well

00:16:30.880 Because I don't want to

00:16:31.320 Misunderstand where I'm just saying

00:16:32.580 It's black and white

00:16:33.360 That's how it is

00:16:34.280 When it comes to

00:16:34.900 The matter of Merry Christmas

00:16:35.520 Yes

00:16:35.880 But

00:16:36.600 Regarding other things

00:16:37.580 I would

00:16:37.820 I'd encourage you guys

00:16:38.880 To go and

00:16:39.420 Speak to a scholar

00:16:40.880 Inshallah

00:16:41.320 Brothers and sisters

00:16:42.640 I don't want to keep it long

00:16:43.660 Share this video with your friends

00:16:45.440 Please

00:16:45.780 I really want people

00:16:46.560 To be really educated

00:16:48.040 Share it with your friends

00:16:49.680 And let them benefit

00:16:51.260 And understand the severity

00:16:52.720 Of what you are uttering

00:16:54.040 Instead of talking

00:16:54.860 With your whims and desires

00:16:55.740 It's always okay

00:16:56.380 It's just a friend

00:16:57.180 Nothing bad is going to happen

00:16:58.760 So yeah

00:16:59.520 That's about it guys

00:17:00.160 Inshallah you guys

00:17:00.680 Benefit
