IT IS OUR CALL TO ALL MUSLIMS! FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH, LET’S BOYCOTT! LET’S SAY NO TO NEW YEAR’S AND CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS

Dr. Hüseyin Kâmi BÜYÜKÖZER

In our religion, resembling infidels, tashabbuh, is forbidden as understood from the hadith mentioned.

Congratulating such holidays and participating in them in any way is a kind of love and affection, which is forbidden by the relevant verses.

The celebration of New Year and Christmas is a kind of holiday and is a matter with religious and ideological dimensions. Indeed, our Prophet (pbuh) said: “For every people is a Eid, and today is our Eid.” and expressed that every community has its own holiday and we Muslims have a separate holiday.

A Muslim who celebrates this is acting hypocritically in the religion of Allah (swt) and has a sign of practical hypocrisy. However, a true Muslim is obliged to glorify the religion of Allah (swt) under any circumstances and to present it as a value above everything else in every stage of his life.

A Muslim’s being an intermediary in these celebrations is also helping in a forbidden act, which is also prohibited by the relevant verse and as the final word, Allah (swt) said: “Fear Allah, Surely Allah is severe in punishment!”
