Christmas Reflections

Gulliver wrote: "And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides God, lest they insult God wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair-seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do" (Quran, 6:108).This one is interesting. I tell people this all the time. It's known to God alone what a person's faith means to them in their heart and none have a right to 'judge' that in any way. ________________________________________Akhe. You have just proven the above. People sing, 'No el' - meaning 'No God'.� What a load of tripe. You should be heartily ashamed of yourself and do your 'faith' no good whatsoever.� "Chuckle" -� as in 'MOCK'.Many would call that hypocrisy.� Again - see above. Noel (or no�l, sometimes spelled nowell for the English pronunciation) refers either to the Christmas celebration or a Christmas carol. The word comes from the French word No�l meaning "Christmas" which derives from the Old French word no�l, a variant of nael. The Latin origin is the word natalis ("birth"). Noel may also refer to: Noel (name), male name derived from no�l Noel, Missouri 1563 No�l, an asteroid Hurricane Noel Whatever it 'means', people do NOT sing it with the intent of it meaning, "No God". I'm assuming you're about 12 years old. So we'll forgive you as it's Christmas. Now. go chuckle away till you're heart's content. ;-)God bless

As Salaamulaikum Gulliver I appreciate you comment I am sorry that you are offended.You can beleive in Santa Claus all you want, My faith is in Allah Ta ala Most High.I do not believe that I was even talking to you first of all. I know full well what the Holy Quran says and how did you get any inkling of and idea to say that im judging.If you are of a mature age then you would know sarcasm when you see it.Youre assumption of my age is wrong I have children that age and older.This is an Islamic Forum As Salaamulaikum is the greeting.May the peace and blessing and the Mercy of Allah be on all of us.(Ameen)

He was informative and Muslims must seek knowledge even if it is in China... Translating "noel" as NO-GOD is not correct; he pointed it out�and his point is valid.

As Salaamulaikum Aka2x2.As Far as I am concerned I am not here to disrespect Non-Muslims my entire family,relatives ,ectare non-Muslims.I once myself have been Non-Muslim.And if you are Non-Muslim then it is noticable from your improper greeting or lack there of, but you should know, This is an Islamic Forum As Salaamulaikum Brother and or Sister.This is a problem when we deal with Non- Muslims ,This is a Forum with Muslims and proper greetings is a sign of respect.If I am wrong about something then ASTAFALLAH!I have no promblem with someone correcting me. A Muslims never sides with Non-Muslims against another Muslim weather he is in the wrong.
