00:00:00.000 You can't do it. I'm living in Malaysia and this is their Christmas.
00:00:03.440 And isn't it pretty?
00:00:08.260 It's truly beautiful.
00:00:12.460 Islamnet is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway
00:00:15.960 and they urgently need your support.
00:00:17.840 This donation will be a sadaqa ja'ari for you
00:00:19.700 because every person that comes a step closer to Allah through your donation,
00:00:24.180 you will inshallah be reaping the reward.
00:00:25.480 Click the link and donate what you can.
00:00:27.080 Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:30.280 This video is, as you guys know, every single year when it comes to Merry Christmas.
00:00:33.520 What is Merry Christmas? Why do people say it?
00:00:36.140 Obviously, we do videos about moussala, but that's kind of a bit of a lost cause there.
00:00:41.560 I don't mean entirely. I'm not saying that.
00:00:43.140 I'm just saying when it comes to the Christmas thing.
00:00:44.740 However, we've got people, your general public or, you know, influences to some extent
00:00:49.240 who have trivialised this matter.
00:00:51.240 And I just want to give an analogy and I just want them to see
00:00:53.480 if they will belittle this matter as much as they do if we just twisted a few dynamics here.
00:00:59.520 Let's watch this video of this sister who had a very problematic video before 0.94
00:01:03.700 talking about a woman to be Korea or something like that.
00:01:05.800 She took it down anyways. 0.95
00:01:06.900 But there's these two videos.
00:01:07.700 My dear sister, again, look, you're my auntie, you're an elder.
00:01:11.360 I don't want to be disrepairful towards you.
00:01:13.140 I want you to really understand what you're promoting out there.
00:01:14.880 And anyone that's watching this, please watch your tongues, guys.
00:01:17.480 Okay, watch your tongue.
00:01:18.580 Do not backbite her.
00:01:19.980 Do not talk ill of her.
00:01:20.800 We're just trying to maybe give some nasir to the sister.
00:01:23.840 Okay, here's the first video.
00:01:24.780 Let's see about Christmas.
00:01:25.640 She lives in Malaysia.
00:01:26.360 Let's see what she has to say about.
00:01:27.620 Merry Christmas.
00:01:28.440 Is that a right thing or a wrong thing to say?
00:01:30.280 I know that many people in the UK have said to me,
00:01:32.520 oh, you can't say it because it means this or it means that.
00:01:34.900 But how are we supposed to integrate?
00:01:36.560 And how are we supposed to invite?
00:01:38.060 You can't do it.
00:01:38.780 I'm living in Malaysia and this is their Christmas.
00:01:41.380 And isn't it pretty?
00:01:48.580 It's truly beautiful.
00:01:50.040 The way that they embrace everyone's cultures,
00:01:52.280 everyone's festivities.
00:01:54.000 Everyone is hasi together.
00:01:58.340 And that to me is the true heart of good Muslims.
00:02:10.960 Maya.
00:02:12.720 Maya Moana.
00:02:15.980 She's mini Moana. 1.00
00:02:18.580 Don't bring me into a mall.
00:02:27.180 Malls are dangerous for any woman. 1.00
00:02:28.940 I don't care.
00:02:29.580 I might portray to be a certain way,
00:02:31.380 but malls...
00:02:33.660 Oh, look at this Christmas tree.
00:02:34.700 This Christmas tree.
00:02:37.200 Wait a minute.
00:02:37.780 Wait a minute.
00:02:39.000 Wow.
00:02:47.440 Lovely.
00:02:48.580 Okay, guys.
00:02:49.140 So you saw that for yourself.
00:02:50.500 I mean, let's put things into perspective.
00:02:52.240 Number one, Christmas is celebrated as Jesus' birthday.
00:02:56.160 They're celebrating Jesus being the son of God,
00:02:58.940 God himself, God incarnate, whatever you want to call it.
00:03:01.200 The Christmas tree in itself doesn't symbolize anything,
00:03:03.300 but it's a pagan ritual.
00:03:04.760 You all know that.
00:03:05.640 We all know that.
00:03:06.260 Alhamdulillah.
00:03:06.680 Not only that, it's not even a Christmas,
00:03:08.280 a Christian thing for that matter.
00:03:09.440 Because when you read the Bible,
00:03:10.580 in the Bible in the Old Testament,
00:03:11.660 if I'm not mistaken,
00:03:12.180 it says very clearly,
00:03:13.000 you'll have the reference here,
00:03:13.700 do not go to forest carp trees and adorn them.
00:03:17.420 It's clearly said in Christianity
00:03:18.940 that you should not do it
00:03:20.100 because it's some kind of a pagan ritual.
00:03:21.660 Now, to have a Muslim woman like yourself 1.00
00:03:23.860 to come here and make it seem as if 0.94
00:03:25.700 Merry Christmas is nothing.
00:03:26.460 Oh, you know,
00:03:27.220 what's wrong with the decorations?
00:03:28.680 We don't.
00:03:29.140 Islam,
00:03:29.840 a judgment is not based,
00:03:32.240 based on how things look.
00:03:33.840 Oh, it looks so lovely, etc.
00:03:34.980 I mean, if something's adorned and beautified,
00:03:36.960 does that make that right?
00:03:37.860 For example, a strip club.
00:03:39.560 Yeah, a strip club. 0.97
00:03:40.660 Now, a strip club sounds not right to the ear,
00:03:42.440 but guess what?
00:03:42.920 Let's change that to gentleman's club.
00:03:44.400 Just play words.
00:03:45.420 Oh, it sounds better to the ear.
00:03:46.380 Does that make it right?
00:03:47.800 Okay, they're not called prostitution. 1.00
00:03:50.540 It's called sex workers 1.00
00:03:52.040 or give it another title. 0.76
00:03:53.500 Just because you adorn it
00:03:55.140 and make it look a certain way
00:03:56.780 does not make it permissible.
00:03:58.480 Merry Christmas means what?
00:03:59.900 You are basically telling people,
00:04:01.660 have a lovely time,
00:04:03.020 an amazing time,
00:04:03.880 associating partners to Allah.
00:04:06.020 Something that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
00:04:07.980 that the mountain is about to crumble
00:04:09.140 and the earth is about to split apart
00:04:10.760 for the statement that they make
00:04:12.160 about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:04:13.000 that he has a son.
00:04:14.820 Yes?
00:04:15.380 The greatest of the greatest of shirk.
00:04:18.360 To us, yeah?
00:04:19.920 Now, I want to change the dynamics a bit,
00:04:21.500 my dear sister.
00:04:22.480 What if Merry Christmas was known?
00:04:25.040 If it was,
00:04:25.740 and I'm just trying to give you,
00:04:26.360 I'm trying to make this relate to you.
00:04:28.480 Yes?
00:04:29.620 What if it was made?
00:04:30.860 And again, please forgive me.
00:04:31.880 I do not want to be disrespectful.
00:04:32.620 I need to make you understand the severity
00:04:34.340 of what you're trying to promote,
00:04:35.840 which is the following.
00:04:36.440 Imagine Merry Christmas was
00:04:37.340 that it was a day that they insulted your mother.
00:04:41.200 They called your mother,
00:04:42.300 like I said before,
00:04:43.020 like your dear mother.
00:04:43.800 I'm just trying to make you understand it.
00:04:45.680 Imagine the day Merry Christmas meant
00:04:47.880 that this sister's mother,
00:04:50.520 she is called this,
00:04:51.900 this, this,
00:04:52.360 this, this, and this,
00:04:52.960 full of insults, 0.98
00:04:53.980 like vulgar words towards your mother.
00:04:56.560 And I went around and said,
00:04:57.760 I mean, you know,
00:04:58.640 I don't care,
00:04:59.160 you know,
00:04:59.260 back in the day they,
00:05:00.120 you know,
00:05:00.620 it meant this or it meant that,
00:05:02.360 you know,
00:05:02.540 I don't know what it means,
00:05:03.220 but I'm just going to go around
00:05:03.840 and say Merry Christmas.
00:05:04.720 And Merry Christmas meant
00:05:05.520 that your mother is this,
00:05:07.380 this, this,
00:05:07.820 this, and this.
00:05:08.240 Would you go around happily
00:05:09.260 telling people,
00:05:10.400 guys,
00:05:11.200 it's all right,
00:05:11.720 just go around telling people
00:05:12.640 Merry Christmas,
00:05:13.340 you know,
00:05:14.000 the word actually means,
00:05:16.040 you know,
00:05:16.260 what this means,
00:05:16.960 this phrase means
00:05:17.620 that my mother is A,
00:05:19.140 B, C, D, E,
00:05:20.280 this is what she,
00:05:20.820 they're insulting my mom.
00:05:21.860 Go ahead.
00:05:22.420 Why?
00:05:22.660 Because they've made a tree out of it
00:05:23.980 and whatever it is for that matter.
00:05:25.500 You would never do it.
00:05:26.680 You would never do it.
00:05:28.340 You'll be so saddened.
00:05:29.900 You'll be so offended
00:05:30.960 that people are still celebrating
00:05:32.520 a specific thing
00:05:33.280 that relates back to your mother,
00:05:34.640 your family members,
00:05:35.320 whoever it is,
00:05:35.760 your children,
00:05:36.880 whoever it is,
00:05:37.900 and people are going around
00:05:39.140 saying this to each other.
00:05:40.500 Now,
00:05:41.000 they might not have the intention of that,
00:05:42.340 but what is the phraseology
00:05:43.820 known for that?
00:05:45.160 That is the point here.
00:05:46.660 And Shirk,
00:05:47.620 you should be far worse offended
00:05:50.200 because what I'm telling you now,
00:05:51.180 you might feel offended.
00:05:51.820 I don't mean to offend you.
00:05:53.080 You should feel rather more offended
00:05:55.220 to that phrase
00:05:57.100 than if they were to insult
00:05:59.040 my mom,
00:05:59.820 my generation,
00:06:00.640 my kids,
00:06:01.340 my wife,
00:06:02.040 my whole family.
00:06:04.080 I would rather they do that
00:06:06.000 than come and say statements of Shirk
00:06:08.140 because Allah's rights
00:06:09.740 goes above every human being's rights.
00:06:12.440 So to me,
00:06:13.320 if they were to come and insult my,
00:06:14.700 if they said to me,
00:06:15.240 look,
00:06:15.420 we're going to insult your mom, 0.98
00:06:16.700 your dad, 0.99
00:06:17.080 your wife,
00:06:17.660 your daughter,
00:06:18.200 whatever you name it.
00:06:19.720 Or,
00:06:20.800 this,
00:06:21.600 we're going to say,
00:06:22.620 this means that Allah has a son.
00:06:24.420 I'll say,
00:06:24.620 please insult my family members.
00:06:25.720 It's okay.
00:06:26.040 I'm happy with you
00:06:26.880 insulting my family members
00:06:28.080 as long as you honor Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:06:29.880 That is how our attitude should be.
00:06:32.740 Not,
00:06:32.940 oh,
00:06:33.740 what's wrong with America's men are there.
00:06:34.920 Look at the seas and look,
00:06:35.740 it looks so nice,
00:06:36.240 look at the tree.
00:06:36.600 Who cares?
00:06:37.620 Who cares?
00:06:38.540 That's why the Prophet ï·º said,
00:06:39.920 you will follow the disbelievers 1.00
00:06:43.620 handspan by handspan
00:06:45.540 till that,
00:06:46.840 if they were to go to a lizard's hole,
00:06:48.060 you would follow them.
00:06:49.440 And he said,
00:06:50.180 who are they?
00:06:51.000 He said,
00:06:51.320 the Christians and the Jews.
00:06:52.440 Who else?
00:06:53.220 You are following them step by step.
00:06:56.140 Okay,
00:06:56.840 our religion is preserved.
00:06:59.340 Haram is clear.
00:07:00.420 Halal is clear. 0.78
00:07:01.880 So to us,
00:07:02.860 please be very careful.
00:07:04.880 You will never promote this.
00:07:05.880 And if I was to do a video
00:07:06.760 asking people to insult your mom,
00:07:10.220 you would abhor it.
00:07:11.500 You would go against it.
00:07:12.980 But when it comes to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.88
00:07:14.340 that feeds you,
00:07:15.060 that gives you your risk,
00:07:16.620 in one of your videos,
00:07:17.720 bought a new house, etc.
00:07:19.120 Where did all that risk come from?
00:07:20.480 From Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 0.66
00:07:22.260 He feeds you.
00:07:23.300 He looks after you.
00:07:24.260 He's giving you kids.
00:07:25.120 He makes your heart beat.
00:07:26.420 And then you can casually go and say,
00:07:28.400 what's wrong with Merry Christmas?
00:07:30.000 There's a lot with Merry Christmas.
00:07:31.540 The Christians, 0.51
00:07:32.820 or whoever for that matter,
00:07:33.380 they can celebrate it.
00:07:34.020 We have nothing.
00:07:34.900 That's their religion.
00:07:36.160 They do whatever they like.
00:07:37.740 But it is disappointing 0.86
00:07:38.780 to see a Muslim woman
00:07:39.940 who observes the hijab 0.94
00:07:41.840 to come and tell us
00:07:42.580 that Merry Christmas,
00:07:43.160 there's nothing wrong with it.
00:07:43.880 There's great things wrong with it,
00:07:45.000 inshallah.
00:07:45.900 And that's why I want to say inshallah.
00:07:47.640 Until next time,
00:07:48.280 assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:07:55.120 We want to establish
