Happy Birthday of the Jesus Christ to all

[war&peace]

Prophet Issa (Jesus of Nazareth) peace be upon him is son of Mary (Maryam) and a Prophet for both Christians and Muslims. So let's be happy on this the birthday of Prophet Jesus.

Isa was not born on this date or neither in December itself, Christmas is way more cultural than it is religious. It also has deep links within Paganism; thought to be connected to the Pagan festival of the Winter Solstice.

Actually not even all Christians celebrate xmas. This is basically a tradition of western christianity which is the non-monastic version of the true christianity and we call it NATO-christianity.

I'm pretty sure orthodox Christians celebrate on the proper date in January. They don't have Santa and Christmas trees and all that either, I'm pretty sure. It's a proper religious celebration. Orthodox Christians do it right.

Nice thread bro. January was the time of his birth but the timeline changed in Western theology to wipe out pagan festivals.

I agree with you but a lot of christians also celebrate on this day too...A fixed date is not very meaningful measure for example we celebrated the Eid Milad un Nabi on 12 Rabi'al Awwal and it changes relative to the Gregorian or christian calendar.

Its birthday of one of the Prophets of Allah SW. Happy birthday Jesus Christ.

I personally think that dates are not so important. The emphasis should be on commemorating his teachings which were about peace, love, modesty and worshipping Allah (God) the one and only without associating any partners with Him. Having peace with neighbour and giving charity to the poor. Sadly those teachings have been lost and replaced with negative and shallow traditions that are in contradiction to Jesus's original message.

Santa Claus is a cool character who distributes gifts among the children. Its creativity of Christian people.

If we could create such a character who would distribute gifts to children on Eid.

Thanks to the OP for the Christmas wishes! But wow, lots of bad information in these posts.

1. Virtually no Christians of any denomination, consider the actual historic date of Christ's birth, to be of any particular doctrinal importance. It's based in tradition, not theology. For some strange reason, non-Christians think the actual historic date is somehow, vital to the truth of the Christian faith. It isn't.

2. Neither east or west gets the date "wrong" as both Eastern Christians and Western Christians celebrate Christmas on the exact same calender date, but based on the different liturgical calendars they use. Both eastern Christians, like the Orthodox, and Western Christians, set December 25th as Christmas day. The West uses the Gregorian calendar and the east uses the old Julian calender, it's just that December 25th under the old Julian calender, corresponds to the 7th of January in the Gregorian calender that is much more commonly used throughout the world.

3. There is no definitive proof that Christmas day was set to cover-over, pagan holidays. It wouldn't mater religiously, if that were the case, just as Islam often took pagan symbols and "Islamified" them. All religions do that sort of thing when supplanting an older one. But the set date of Christmas has more to do with the whole liturgical calender. Put simply, December 25th falls exactly nine months after the date of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

4. The Eastern Orthodox very much have the figure of "Santa Clause" as part of the Christmas celebration, just as in the West, as "Santa" (although he has been hijacked by secular society), was a real person, associated with Christmas time and is a canonized saint, in both eastern and western Churches. He is Saint Nicholas of Myra, a 3rd century saint, who was from what is today, Turkey. He was a bishop and was known for giving gifts to children at Christmas time, among many other things. His feast day is the 6th of December and btw, my parish church here in America, is St. Nicholas Catholic church.

As I also mentioned in my posts that the exact date of birth is not important, I basically see it as a day when Christians try to celebrate his birth and an opportunity to remind themselves of his teachings.
And my respect for him come from Islam and Holy Quran as he has been discussed as one of the mightiest Prophets of Allah, there are whole chapters dedicated to him and his family in the Holy Quran: Chapter 3: Aal-E-Imran is dedicated to his grandfather, and then ch. 19: Al-Maryam is dedicated to his mother the virgin Mary..but he has been mentioned in several other chapters so it is really worth reading and knowing about him. For this is also an article of faith to believe in previous Prophets and that they were given message / books through revelations.
