WISH YOUR NON-MUSLIM FRIENDS A HAPPY X-MAS IF YOU WANT!It should be clear that Muslims are commanded to deal justly and kindly with their non-Muslim acquaintances, neighbors, friends, and families. Therefore, Muslims are allowed to wish non-Muslims happiness on their festive days, e.g 'happy x-mas'. It is not prohibited in Islam to make these acts of compliment and friendliness, especially because Christ is one of the great Messengers of Allah according to our Islamic creed. Thus, he is revered in our religion too, but the Christians exaggerate in revering him and believe that he is Allah, Glorified is He and Exalted above what they say.
Whoever thinks that wishing Christians a merry Christmas is unlawful because it has to do with their belief in Christ's divinity is wrong, as there is no connection between this compliment and the details of their creed and their excessiveness in it.However, Muslims are not allowed to celebrate or participate in the religious festivities of non-Muslims.
Muslims are not allowed to force non-Muslims to embrace Islam, even if they are living in a Muslim state. Muslims should be tolerant and leave non-Muslims embracing whatever religion they like.
Muslims may be visited and greeted by Christian acquaintances in the Muslim feasts, and when the Muslims do not visit the Christians back in Christmas, this will confirm the idea that Muslims are harsh and unwilling to harmonize with others or treat others nicely.
As long as greeting for Christmas and the New Year's Day is lawful, printing [non-religious] greeting cards and selling them are lawful too, because the means of the lawful are lawful also.
In Dec, 2007,In a new Muslim gesture to promote inter-faith dialogue, 138 Muslim scholars signed a Christmas message to the Christian clergy worldwide, including Pope Benedict XVI, reported the Financial Times on Saturday, December 22.In their message, the Muslim scholars wished fellow Christians a merry Christmas and thanked Christian leaders for responding positively to an earlier open letter signed by them to bridge the Muslim-Christian gap.
The 138 Muslim scholars and dignitaries from around the world sent in October an open letter to the world's Christian clergy, including Pope Benedict, for dialogue based on commonalities between Islam and Christianity.
