THE "EVILS" OF CHRISTMAS
Every year at this time we see the same ritual, the decorations are dragged out and draped over anything that stands still, Christmas trees are chopped down then erected in millions of front rooms, father Christmas, Christmas dinner, sleeping through the Queens speech, whereÂ’s the evil in that you might say?
ItÂ’s all about Father Christmas or itÂ’s a celebration of the birth of Jesus many say, the reality is that Christmas is more about office parties, house parties, raves, night clubs, alcohol, drugs and all the things that these lead to like illicit sex, violence, rape, domestic violence, crime, vandalism and so on. The fact is that Christmas is the time when men and women become the most base, immoral creatures who donÂ’t care for anything or anyone, their sole purpose becomes enjoyment in whatever depraved form that might take.
Is this what life is about, to be undignified, base, depraved, without any guiding morality? If Jesus were alive today would he join you? Of course you know very well that he would not, he is someone who called for goodness and condemned evil. In this life it seems that there is no good and bad, that it is just someoneÂ’s opinion. In fact there is good and bad and these are defined by God and it was up to prophets like Jesus and many others to inform mankind of this. DonÂ’t believe that man decides what is moral and what is immoral, when it is left to man the bar is slowly lifted, what is deemed to be acceptable is stretched further and further away from what is good. So in the past marriage was the only way for men and women to have relationship with one another, now anything goes (anyone, anyhow and with anything).
From the time of Adam (as) until the time of the prophet Muhammad (saw) prophets have received instructions from God for mankind, they received a complete and comprehensive manual on how to live your life. Governments particularly are not warm towards revelation and throughout time up until today have attacked those who carry the truth, so the prophets sacrificed their lives in order to pass this message, they struggled and strived in order to guide us to the truth. DonÂ’t be the one that throws that back in their faces, or the arrogant that thinks he knows what is good and bad.
Don’t be the fool that thinks what harm can alcohol, drugs or parties cause. Look around you, what causes the teenage pregnancies or the abortions, homelessness, broken families, debt, domestic violence, poverty, violence etc. etc. these are all the side effects of evils in society. In Islam these problems are eradicated. There are growing numbers who used to celebrate Christmas and indeed every other festival, but at some point in their lives discovered something that completely changed their lives, they became worshippers instead of partiers, they became caring instead of ‘couldn’t care less’, loyal rather than ‘sleep around’, they became Muslims, submitters to God rather than submitters to their own desires. |
Anjem Choudary will be holding an anti-Christmas protest on Britain’s busiest shopping street. On Christmas Eve, Choudary and company plan to go to London’s Oxford Street to convert a million “lost souls”.
