A Path of the Innovators – Part 1/2
Christmas is a celebration of the Christians to remember the birth of Jesus Christ [Prophet Isa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ)], who they believe is the son of God or God himself. نَعُوْذُ بِالله
Christmas comes from the Old English term “Cristes maesse,” meaning “Christ’s mass.” This was the name for the festival service of worship holding 25th December. There is no reliable information on the date of Jesus birth, nor even on the year.
One reason for this uncertainty is that the stories of his birth, recorded in the New Testament books of Matthew and Luke, were written several decades after the event. Those who wrote it gave no specific dates for the events they mentioned.
So simply because there was no knowledge about the date of his birth, a day had to be selected right?

Furthermore, the belief that Jesus is God or the literal son of God is the most dangerous statement one could make. Allaah (ﷻ) say in response to this statement:
تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلْجِبَالُ هَدًّا
“The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation.”
أَن دَعَوْا۟ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدًۭا
“That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.”
(Maryam 19:90 – 91)
That is, the heavens are almost torn, the earth split asunder, and the mountains collapses, that they (unbelievers) ascribe a son to the Most Gracious. Out of their high esteem for Allaah (ﷻ), when they hear this statement of wickedness coming from the Children of Adam. Subhañ’Allaah!
The reason for this is that these are creatures of Allaah (ﷻ) and they are established upon His Tawhid and the fact that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him (ﷻ).
He has no partners, no peer, no child, no mate and no co-equal. Rather, He (ﷻ) is One, Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures are in need of.
(Tafsir Ibn kathir)
