MashaAllah.
I reverted back in 1999.
Alhamdulillah!..
Being a revert it's a hard test. But all this celeberation is just worldly life.
Christmas is a Satanic Celebration!
@Kakka Kaki no
@Kakka Kaki how
Sister, may Allah bless you with the hightest place in jannah in the day after.
Aameen.
You are amazing 😍.
It's refreshing to see a new perspective through the eyes of a revert brother or sister!
Aswk my sister of Islam. Allah is all knowing and for sure he know your intention. May Allah guide us to the straight path - Ameen
Ameen
Ameen
Agreed with everything that you've said..eventhough im born muslim, i still want to be a better Muslim get better day by day. I love how your decorated your house..i live in malaysia..we always decorated our during eid ul fitri and adha..it is one way to celebrate and welcome eid..
What stuffs did you use for decorating your house during Eid? Lemme guess, halal date palm tree?😂
Islam is simple. No tinsel needed..or trees or lights...
@@user-qb2lv8uo4x there are no specific rules that we have to follow but general. Islam gives us general guidelines and boundaries just like a teacher giving a general guidelines for a project or an assignment. How you do the assignment is up to you. The whole world is filled with different cultures and traditions. It's about our intentions and how much work we put in to actually celebrate a day Allah has blessed us with. Our Prophet pbuh really put effort and did all that was in his might to show to us that you have to effort and spend this day different and better than the rest of the days. I hope you understand and may Allah guide you and all of us more and more each day Ameen
Asalamu alaikum sister.
Big hug from a muslimah.
May ALLAH TALA keep the ummah strong in eman, ameen.
Go to your family during Christmas with niat of fostering stronger bond with your families and not because of Christmas. Fostering stronger family bonding is better than not to. Islam never want you to severe your family ties even if they non-Muslim. It's your Niat or your Intention that matters more. Go there for your family, not for the belief of Christmas or believe that 25th Dec is the birthdate of Jesus.
Sister thank you for uploading this video. It means a lot.
MashaAllah...
What a wonderful video. This is just in a good time. I always struggled with this topic. What I normally do, I give gifts to my neighbours and I put verses related to Jesus and Mary in the Christmas cards so my Christian friends also have a good understanding about us Muslims and the connection we have with Christianity and Judaism.
wWh do ou feel ou should give gifts ?I am just curious because its forbidden
I like that idea!
May Allah (SWT) continue to guide our sister and make it easy for her
Mashaa Allah sister Welcome to the family of brothers and sisters in Islam. May Allah give you a high place in Paradise and you be means of guidance for humanity. Ameen
Salam Sister macha Allah May Allah guide you and bless you from Algiers with love
may allah make it easier for our revert brothers and sisters🖤
Amin
Wishing or Celebrating Christmas is Shirk(Associating partner with Allah SWT)
Save yourself from Hellfire
Allah will not Forgive Shirk.
May Allah SWT guide our Muslim Brothers and Sisters.
@Mohammad Umair there is a saying of Hazrat Umer (r.a) that this Blackstone (hajr-e-aswad) can neither benefit me nor damage/loss me but I have seen Prophet (s.a.w) kissing this that is why I am also kissing it
@Jomy Mathew
Allah isn't Moon God
Allah Says In Quran Surah 41:37
Do not bow down to Sun or Moon bow down to Allah SWT only
So how can you say Allah is moom god this argument of yours is baseless already refuted by Allah SWT in Quran
And Allah as a God found in your Bible also
In Arabic Bible they use Allah as God.
Hope you understand well.
I wish my neighbours merry Christmas every year and we put lights up.. Who cares
@Jomy Mathew who said kissing the blackstone is erase sin? There is no resorces said that kissing that stone will erase sin. Muslim did that following the sunnah that the stone was from heaven and Arabic people before Muhammad knows that.
God loves celebrations and festivities. You are being too harsh on this new revert. we muslims celebrate the birth of our prophet, Xmas is supposed to be the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Jesus peace and blessing be upon him, so I dont see why you are calling it shirk.
It's a beautiful winter decoration; may Allah bless you sister..
Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus (peace be upon him) anyway, rather it is originally a Pagan holiday.
@@shelldockley9090
Question should be, if that's true then why are there so many people who left Islam and are still alive?
@@peacebeuntoyou8934 Because they did it in a non Sharia law country.
@@shelldockley9090
Deuteronomy 13:6-10 ESV
“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known, some of the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him. But you shall kill him. Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
@@shelldockley9090
There are no countries implementing true Sharia, if there were, they would be the best places to live but unfortunately they implement whatever suits their agenda.
@Kakka Kaki
Therefore, it has nothing to do with Jesus' birth if it is older than Christianity. Thank you for confirming this.
You did everything right. Support and love from Pakistani brother in Islam. To those who downvoted, feel sorry for your unnecessary negativity, all you had to do was show support and you didnt evenndo that.
May Allah protect you and your family, and may Almighty God guide your entire family.
Allah SWT gave you beautiful life and imaan
This was such a helpful video for me. I've recently converted to Islam but still love Christmas. I love the cheerful atmosphere and friendly spirit of people. I also love decorating for the season. I loved your decorations and your idea of how to navigate this holiday season as a revert. For us, we call it "gift day" instead of Christmas, and while we still give gifts and put up a tree, we don't decorate the tree with Christmas decorations, it's just a winter tree, and we give gifts on a different day. I also want to incorporate charity or zakat into this season InshAllah
May Allah make everything easy for my new Muslim brothers and sisters
Islam is simple. It needs no lights, or tinsel or trees or ANYTHING.
Refer back to the sunnah.
Keep it simple for Allahs swt sake.
Proud of you sister. Never abandon your family. The moment you distance from them, they will drift far away from the beauty of Islam.
Your decoration is so beautiful💛
Always love to see muslims sisters and brothers from another countries..
God bless you sisters..
Be patient with your christian families..
I know the christmas is all not about religion.. but also a cultural things about gathered with family..
And be good to family is not forbidden in Islam.. and actually it was encourage in Islam..
May Allah give you the guidance and strength..
Greetings from Java, Indonesia..!
😀☕🇮🇩
May Almighty give you a nice time inhere and hereafter. And accept you in his religious. Ameen.
May Allah always bless you and make you strong sister...
May Allah bless you sister..well done explanation
Salamualykum sister I’m very sorry if i said anything wrong forgive me you my sister Allah grant you you and Muslimeam janatulferdos
From my insignificant knowledge of the Bible, it's prohibited to celebrate Christmas even among Christians
How could u explain, I’m a Muslim
???
She is not celebrating Christmas, she's celebrating family values, its what it in the heart. May Allah guide us
Jesus was not even born in December> A catholic priest said that Jesus was born in June.
That's right sister: in surat Marie, we learn that as Mary, peace be upon her, gave birth to Jesus, peace be upon him, dates were ripe on palms.
Surah Maryam, verses 23-25
Then the pains of labour drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She cried, “Alas! I wish I had died before this, and was a thing long forgotten!” (23)
So a voice reassured her from below her, “Do not grieve! Your Lord has provided a stream at your feet." (24)
And shake the trunk of this palm tree towards you, it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon you. (25)
True it has found its somewhere in spring time, who is born in 25....the false Jesus? That's history of pagan went Back the date of prophet Ibrahim with King Namrud.
Its comrade someone else that applied into Christianity.
That is a very understanding family you got. Hope they follow you into the religion.
Love from Gujrat Pakistan you are doing great work for lslam best of luck sister 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Bless you sister and Assalam u alaikum!

Since I lived in Japan for a few years, I began to see the modern celebration of Christmas through a capitalistic lens. It's not a Japanese holiday so there were no days off but there would be Christmas sales and gift exchanges. In many ways it was tied into a celebration of the upcoming new year.
So, now, many years later, I think of Christmas as Thanksgiving Part 2 only with a gift exchange. The religious part of it doesn't come into play for my branch of the family because we dont go to church.
ALLAH guidance be with you sister .AMEEN
you a very good
you can't abandon your parents
im working for NHS
and im are Muslim and l have to work on Christmas day
im just there do my duty and give the best nursing care to the patients

Great alhamdulilah,u are right....
Massah Allah when Allah guides someone its a great blessing
Ohhh its soooooo beautiful sister.
I'm so glad i clicked on this; because it's important to know how to help.
Great ideas. Very nice winter decorations.
I love that decoration sis .... ,,I always love lights deco at night,, beautiful for eid
Dats rite sis... Support your opinion and Allah know what in your heart ♥
Ma sha Allah sister. I could advise u to watch sheikh Yasir Qadi from America. He really explained well about Christmas and how can revert visit their family.
💕✌🇵🇰
Allah Bless of you & All your family Member's

Inspiring message.keep strong inshallah.
Oh that is good.
So lets celebrate Christmas.
Pray to angels also
Especially female angels.
Merry Christmas
Sister, According to Holy Quran, it stated in the holy Quran that every child born as a Muslim but the family who is follower of Islam or other religion they make the child themselves. For example if child is born in Christian family they surely tell the child to follow the christianity or if other religion they will do so. I am very happy to know that you become follower of Islam. May almighty Allah bless you and keep you in a straight path that leads to paradise.
That's not entirely correct.
It is a hadith that states that every person is born on the FITRAH i.e believing in God etc and it is their parents that make them whatever religion they are, that doesn't mean we're all born as Muslims.
Assalam u alaikum, now that's a way to follow Muhammad saw. Way to go fellow Muslim. You are doing what our beloved Prophet saw told us. Give glad tidings and do not be harsh
Mash Allah, beautiful
You be happy Aameen ❤️
My Allah protect you sister
Beautiful house house beautiful light decoration Alhamdulillah
I'm Muslim but I respect christan Jews Catholic all
Christmas is a pagan festival - Google it. Even Christians know about it but they still celebrate it. Anyway, Christmas is not just a festival but a social gathering as well so I would encourage you to attend the social gathering with your lovely family. God bless you and other members of your family. Life is too short. Be happy. Welcome to the religion of Islam. Gift -giving in Islam is encouraged because it spread love. So nothing wrong with giving gifts to your family members on Christmas.
Asslamalaikum. Please keep your ties with your family. Allah swt knows your intention of seeing your family on this day. Decorations look very beautiful you can put them up any time oof the year. They brighten up the outer and inner parts of the house. Jazakallah khair .
*It is not permitted for Muslims to eat that which was prepared by the Christians during their festivals-it is not permitted to accept gifts from them or to greet them with Merry Christmas-instead, teach them Islam.*
📚 _-[Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله, Ibn Bāz, Ibn ‘Uthaimīn رحمه الله]_
People like you bring division in the world
It doesn't matter
We are all humans
I'm Christian but during Eid I visit my Muslim friends,wish them well and eat with them
Religion is all about unity
But y'all making it seem different
That's absolutely the way to go
Sweet advices.
Assalamualaikum.
Masha'Allah, May Allah SWT bless you sister. Aameen.
MASHA ALLAH keep giving advices and be patient
Maa shaaALLAH dear muslim sister wellcome to one ALLAH SAVE YOU ameeen
MAsha Allah may Allah continued bless you
Alhamdulillah sister...
Asslamualaikum warakhmatullahi wabarakatuh, how are u ukhti, Salam from Malaysia. May Allah bless your family there. May you istiqomah, being Muslim is abt go back to fitrah. Allhamdullilah... I think nowadays they called revert instead of convert. I pary that you were strong in your belief and being practise Muslim sunni. Jazakallah khair.
Mashallah May Allah bless u sister.
Subhan'Allah 🇸🇦
Sister for me its okay, as long as you dont do the pray. You do visit your family because at that day is a holiday that allow your family members gather around. In my childhood I even helped my aunt to decorated her house and christmas tree. The most important is not allowed or allow but your niat. If you there to silaturahmi is okay~~~
مبارك لكي دخولك في الاسلام الحنيف ونبارك لكي منزلكم الجديد أنه منزل جميل ما شاء الله
Maa Sha Allah
Masha Allah my sister
MashAllah. Gobahead sister
You are not supposed to celebrate christmas as a muslim.
100% no lights or “winter decorations” no food this is an insult to Islam, librals are confused and so concerned with people opinions of them rather than allahs
I do.. My children love it.. It's a holiday season
@@MrsHafisaKhan1997 you are not supposed to. Its haram. It doesnt matter if the kids love it. Do christian celebrate al eid.. On the contrary, you should teach your kids about jesus and the fact that he was not born on that day.
@@nacerddinemahalli7074 Christmas is pagan tho...
Its not pagan it is called christmas coming from the word christ ok. I have got kids and i live in a christian country. I explained everything to my kids and they are ok with it and never bothered about celebrating it as they know the truth. You need to educate youe kids. We muslims needs to have principles and leaders not followers.
Masha Allah ur plc looks so nice..🏵🌱🏵🌱🏵🌱🏵🌱🏵
Masha Allah
nice decorations
agreed, good start sister may Allah make it easier for you and hopefully your family turns to Allah and the sunnah of prophet Muhammad saw through you Ameen
Mashallah😇 from pakistan💕
MERRY CHRIMMAS
And what should you do, if your family lives with you in the same home and they want to celebrate Christmas on the Christmas Day and the days after.
I think you spend time with your family and just be there for them without taking part in those activities that go against Allah, just be there for them and also let them know you have some boundaries that is all, but Allah knows best.
Just take it easy and know your boundaries like the brother said in the comment, also even if you fall into mistakes your good intention is what matters the most...Allah is the most forgiving :)
Same
MashaAllah sister in Islam
Good knowledge
SubhanAllah, by the way, it is forbidden to imitate not muslims especially on their holidays.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Similarly it is forbidden for the Muslims to imitate the kuffaar by holding parties on these occasions, or exchanging gifts, or distributing sweets or other foods, or taking time off work and so on, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtida’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem Mukhaalifat Ashaab al-Jaheem: Imitating them on some of their festivals implies that one is happy with the falsehood they are following, and that could make them (the non-Muslims) take this opportunity to mislead those who are weak in faith. End quote.
Those who do any of these things are sinning, whether they do it to go along with them, or to be friendly towards them, or because they feel too shy (to refuse to join in) or any other reason, because it is a kind of compromising the religion of Allah to please others, and it is a means of lifting the spirits of the kuffaar and making them proud of their religion,
End quote from Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 3/44
Alhamddulillah hirrobil a' lamin.. Arrahhmaa-nirro-himmm.... To my dear ..love .. sister in ummah. I... wishing U & other lady ll' become MORE ISTIQOMAH , IMAN & WISE STRONG , with ISTIQOMAH. AMIENN sekian.. ASSALAMU'A-LAIKUM.

Christmas is haram in Islam,we don't celebrate.but we respect other religions.
What are you talking about? Christmas is a pagan holiday... My children love it and so we put lights up every year.. Honestly who cares
@@MrsHafisaKhan1997 You are following pagan rituals, it is forbidden. You should care.
Allah (SWT) will forgive everything except SHIRK.
Be careful about what you are doing and what you are saying.
@@MrsHafisaKhan1997 May Allah give you hidayah.
@@nibinibiru119 My children are 5 and 7, they have classmates that celebrate so they want to as well
@@MrsHafisaKhan1997 It is your duty to teach them, right from wrong. Parents will be held accountable for the correct upbringing of their children, on the Day of Judgement.
I can only warn you, if you do not forsake the ways of pagans, you will be grouped with them in the Day of Judgement. I don`t think you will like it then. May Allah (SWT) guide you.
Christmas 🥰🥰✝️
I’m a revert Muslim and I still celebrate Christmas because my family are Christians, and it’s just a day we spend time together. As well as me giving them gifts to show them how much I appreciate them and everything they put up with. Even if you aren’t the most religious person anymore, if Christianity or Islam was ever apart of you then it is and will always be apart of your spiritual journey, so for me I celebrate Christmas and Ramadan of course. Islam is special though because the teachings of the prophet truly make you a better person.
Nice decorations Sister Ashley! Do muslims also not celebrate Easter?
The thing is, some ppl really like to force their strict idea to other ppl
Im a muslim and im pretty much celebrate everything i like.. i celebreate my birthday, i celebreate my country indepence day, i celebreate new year or whatever
Like whats matter with that? its not like any of those affect anything to my faith lol
