Yesterday I was in Abu Dhabi Mall to visit a friend and I was surprised to see this huge christmas tree standing in the middle, spanning the whole height of the mall. People were happily taking pictures under it. Most of the stores had christmas decorations too. So during maghrib prayers I went to pray in the prayer room, and the imam selected ayas relating to Issa 3aleihi alsalaam. It was a nice move so I thought I should write about it. And for all of those who claim that wishing people Merry Christmas builds Muslim-Christian relationships, this is your reply,

jazakillahu khayran, when i posted something related i got criticized (to respect non-muslims) but the thing is MUSLIMS r greeting or celebrating this day & taking photos with the tree & enjoying the occasion verbally & on facebk
We are losing our islamic teachings with this so called globalization and being tolerant with the other, they could celebrate in their homes but no need to traditionalize it in all public. Its really scare for our children will never whats wrong and whats right,they will blindly follow of whatever is being showed for them. In the midst of the high life and richness to mantian it is easy but we losing our teachings that our forefathers fought for and more importantly we going to lose our ability liberation of self, of mind and more importantly our soul!!!!
