On a somewhat related note, I came across this site: http://boreal.ca/Koran/Ramadan.htm
Here it is suggested that, in the Koran, the Earth is flat, and the sun sets into a sea of mud:
I didn't realise that the shape of the Earth was defined so literally in the Qu'ran... Given that the Qu'ran is considered to be the literal interpretation of the word of Allah (correct?), does this pose issue with modern science? Or is it taken metaphorically (as so much of the Bible is where it contradicts scientific observations).
I promise that I'm not just trying to poke fun or be a smart-arse scrote here... I'm genuinely curious about such things.
Sorry to dive in and "answer my own question" but I got curious and went to google

That would be celebrating Christmas, not respecting your Christian Brethren as people of the book.
Do muslims wish christians merry christmas?
I find it a bit strange seeing non muslims saying Ramadan Mubarak, but I suppose it must be a similar thing to christmas for muslims.
^^^ fair enough
Thanks.
We can eat and drink for around 6 hours after iftar(breaking fast) and sehri (starting fast).
Fasting is brilliant, it frees up your mind and body and has many health benefits for skin disease, blood circulation, glucose levels are many many more.

As a muslim, you shouldn't say Merry Christmas because this is a form of admitting that the celebration is correct and permitted when it is not as a muslim and a follower of Islam. A muslim would not give well wishes to something which is haram and wrong in his own religion so why would he wish them a merry christmas, it is wrong.
109.001 Say: O disbelievers!
109.002 I worship not that which ye worship;
109.003 Nor worship ye that which I worship.
109.004 And I shall not worship that which ye worship.
109.005 Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
109.006 Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.
That is your interpretation, not all Muslims or Islamic thought agrees with that however.
The Qu'ran only the celebration of or the worshipping of other religions as being forbidden:
I understand that many Muslims believe the way you do and that is fine, however it is an interpretation, nothing more.
fair enough but
Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.
does not mean to say you just be saying merry christmas to them on the day of their celebration even though they are celebrating for the wrong thing and reasons in the eyes of Islam. You should not be well wishing that which is wrong.

Can't you just say it to be polite tho? Does it matter if you say, 'Merry Christmas'? All it means is, have a nice Christmas, as in, have a nice religious holiday, it doesn't mean, 'All worship to God' or anything.
Its not a "post a funny picture" thread is it?
A muslim is not permitted to say Merry Christmas. This because saying it is as if you are condoning the celebration and you are a part of it even though in Islam it is not permitted, therefore a non muslim should not say Ramadan Mubarak.
