My Christmas

I will not be celebrating Christmas this year. No worries. I haven’t celebrated it since the day I was born. That’s because I dont believe the Christmas story that Jesus, the son of God was born that day.

I don’t believe Jesus was the son of God but only a regular prophet. Like all the Prophets that came before and after him.

I respect Jesus Christ just like Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and I plan to spend the 24th to 26th of December just like any other day.

I know that the spirit of christmas is giving, caring, sharing and being with your family but i don’t believe we need to appoint one day for that. We can do the same all year round.

Christmas is not for me.

And I hope people realize it’s not for anyone as it is based on something false.

PAUL ALTERED THE MESSAGE
————————

At the beginning, Paul was a staunch opponent of prophet
Jesus and remained so for many years after his ascension. When he
did join the followers of Jesus later on, he initiated many
alterations in the teachings of Jesus in hopes of winning over
the Gentiles (non-Jewish people). He introduced the following
concepts into Christianity:

1. the concept of Jesus as son of God;
2. Jesus died on the cross to wash eternal sins of Adam’s
children through his blood; and
3. the Law of Torah was renounced. He eliminated all regulations
concerning food and abrogated the injunctions of circumcision.

The real followers of Jesus opposed these blatant
misrepresentations of the message of Jesus. Their struggle to
reject the notion of Divinity of Jesus continued for about two
hundred years. Since these alterations were very appealing to the
Gentiles, the true believers were unable to stop the misguidance.

In 325 C.E., a council of Christian leaders met at Nicaea
and officiated Paul’s beliefs as their religion. Roman Empire
declared Paul’s religion as the religion of the State and all
those books which denied these beliefs were banned. In 367 C.E.,
the State announced a list of books acceptable to it and fifteen
years later, a council held under the presidency of Pope Damasius
gave its approval to these books. At the end of the fifth
century, Pope Galasius published a list of unauthorized books
(Apocryphal) to further conform with Paul’s religion of
Christianity.

JESUS WAS NOT CRUCIFIED
———————–
The Holy Quran also rejects the claim that Jesus was killed on
the cross.

4:157 That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the
son of Mary, the Apostle of God”; but they killed him not, nor
crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those
who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain)
knowledge, but only conjecture to follow for of a surety they
killed him not.
4:158 Nay, God raised him up unto Himself; and God is Exalted
in Power, Wise.
4:159 And there is none of the People of the Book but must
believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment He
will be a witness against them.

Based on the statements of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.),
Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus will return to earth at a time
when Muslims will be in a dire need of a leader. He will not
initiate a new religion but rather obey the Holy Quran and the
teachings of Prophet Muhammad and lead Muslims to victory over
the disbelievers.

HE BEGETS NOT!
————–

We note that the Holy Quran refers to Jesus as ‘Jesus ibn
Maryam’, i.e., Jesus son of Mary. It is in contrast to the common
usage in which children are referred to by their father’s name
and not by their mother’s name. He is not a son of God. The
following chapter from the Holy Quran explains the position of
Islam in absolute terms:

SAY: “God is Unique!!
God, the Source [of everything].
He has not fathered anyone
nor was He fathered, and there
is nothing comparable to Him!”
(Chapter 112)
