and so you have a winter ceremony.

Isa (as), Jesus not born in the cold weather

it is agreed upon by theologians, he was not born in the winter

because the people were paying their taxes.

if you look at the story of Jesus the Christians have...

they're paying their taxes that's happens in the warm weather

that the Shepherd's have their flocks outside.

you can't put your flocks outside at night in Palestine now

it was the warm weather!

the Quran itself speaks about Maryam may Allah be pleased with her

that Allah said when she was in the pain of her final stages of pregnancy

he said ''En schud de stam van de palm naar je toe dan zal zij verse rijpe dadels op je laten vallen.'' (19:25)

that this ripe date this happens in the heat of the summer.

but the event was taken from it's summertime and put in the winter

in order to be in the solstice time

to be in the winter season time

and so they brought it together hoping to get the best of both worlds

it has nothing to do with Isa (as)

and Christmas season now that we are going into

and if our children are in public schools

if they are in the society

you seeing now everything starting to change.

the Christmas season we are going into

now for people who just come overseas

it's a fitna

it's a test they don't know what to do

I'm in this part of the world so shouldn't I have a Christmas tree myself?

one brother came to me said ok

I'll have a Christmas tree not a evergreen but I have a date palm tree

so I'll have a halal Christmas tree

and I'll put that one inside of my house

but I showed them that the Prophet (vzmh) when they went to the battle of hunayn

when they were on their way to hunayn, they came to a tree.

and this tree was called “dhât anwât”,

and the people said:

« Oh boodschapper van Allah! Geef ons een Dhât Anwât zoals diegenen daar een Dhât Anwât hebben! »

make a tree like this

the mushrikeen (de polytheïsten) used to hang their weapons on the tree to get power.

The Prophet (vzmh) said: ''You are an ignorant people!''

''En jullie gaan de gewoontes volgen van degenen die voor jullie waren!''

and he told them in another tradition, speaking about the future.

"Jullie zullen de manieren imiteren, handlengte met handlengte, en armslengte met armslengte,''

''zelfs wanneer zij de hol van een salamander binnen treden dat jullie hen zullen volgen,''

''zij zeiden (de metgezellen) Oh boodschapper van Allah, Christenen en Joden?, hij zei: Wie anders?"

jullie zullen hen in de hol van een salamander volgen

and so Sadaqa Rasool Allah (S.A.W) it has come to pass

Part of our Da'wah should be to make

honest, sincere people understand this is not a celebration of Jesus

Some of the Christians although they didn't change their Aqeedah, their faith

they know it's wrong

Jehovah's Witnesses, seventh-day adventists

There's a number of Christians who know it is a pagan ceremony.

Why is it every country I go to, in the Christmas season...

there are more people who died on the highway in accidents, died of murder

there is more abuse and rape in that time than any other time in the year

it should be the opposite if it's the birthday of Christ

it is the pagan ceremony of the god of wine of sport and play (bacchus)

“A'oodhu Billaah…” (Ik zoek mijn toevlucht bij Allah)
