CHRISTMAS MOST WONDERFUL
TIME OF YEAR
Is Christmas the most wonderful time of year?
Christians celebrate December 25th as the birthday of Jesus Christ. Though Jesus was not born on December 25th:
-Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate Jesus’ birthday because: “The organization says “Christmas is not approved by God” because there is no proof that Jesus was born on December 25th and that the symbols of Christmas, including the lights and the tree, have pagan roots. Mar 24, 2018”–(a post on Google post).
-“Orthodox Christmas day occurs every January 7”–(a post on Google).
-“The origins of Christmas stem from both the pagan and Roman cultures. The Romans actually celebrated two holidays in the month of December. The first was Saturnalia, which was a two-week festival honoring their god of agriculture Saturn. On December 25th, they celebrated the birth of Mithra, their sun god. Dec 23, 2017” –(a post on Google).
-“Though December 25 is the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the date itself and several of the customs we’ve come to associate with Christmas actually evolved from pagan traditions celebrating the winter solstice. “Christmas is really about bringing out your inner pagan,” historian Kenneth C. Dec 25, 2018”–(a post on Google).
God says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them. For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter” –(Jeremiah 10:1-4).
Trees draped in colorful and twinkling lights and trinkets, people exchanging gifts and indulging in merriment. The pagan practice has ballooned into a brisk capitalist trade.
(Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din has detailed Christians heritage from paganism in his revealing book The Sources of Christianity, obtainable from www.muslim.org).
That Christmas (birth of Christ) is the “most wonderful time of year” is belief not fact/scripture:
Jesus clearly and vociferously declared he was sent only to the Israelite, he prayed only for them and not for the world, he regarded non-Jews as “dogs” and “swine” and he preached in parables so these metaphorical “dogs” and “swine” would not understand his saying and get into heaven; he regarded people not with him as being against him; counseled murder of those against his rule; and he (Jesus) bequeathed to the world a blazing legacy of “fire” “sword” “hate” and “division” to the world all the way to the Resurrection. Doubtlessly, the birth/birthday of such a man can hardly be crowned “most wonderful time of year.”
Here in Jesus’ own words as enshrined in the Gospels:
-go not to the Gentiles and the Samaritans, but “to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”–(Matt. 10:5-6).
-“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel”–(Matthew 15:24).
-“I pray for them (Jews): I pray not for the world”–(John 17:9).
-“For the Son of man is come to seek and save that (Jews) which was lost” –(Luke 19:10).
-“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine”–(Matthew 7:6; 15:26);
-he told the Samaritan woman: “Ye worship ye know not what: we (Jews) know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews”–(John 4:22);
-after relating the parable of the sower to the people Jesus said to them: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear;” and, afterwards, when he (Jesus) was alone with the Israelites they asked him about the meaning of the parable:
“And he said unto them, Unto you (who have God) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them (non-Jews) that are without (God), all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them”–(Mark 4:9-12).
In other words though the non-Jews (who may be sincere seekers of God) have the faculties of sight and hearing and can see and hear, he (Jesus) spoke in parables so that they would not understand his words because he did not want them to accept God and have their sins forgiven. (This statement by Jesus also proves that Jesus did NOT come to save sinners).
-“I am come to send FIRE on the earth”–(Luke 12:49).
-Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth, Nay; but rather DIVISION: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; and the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law”–(Luke 12:51-53).
-“For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me”–(Matthew 10:35-37).
-“Think NOT that I am come to send peace on earth: I came NOT to send peace, but a SWORD”–(Matthew 10:34).
-“If any man come to me, and HATE NOT his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple”–(Luke 14:26).
-“He that is not with me is against me” (and a person can be neutral)–(Matthew 12:30).
-“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me” (though the enemies might not militate against him)–(Luke 19:27. If these sayings of Jesus in Matthew 12:30 and Luke 19:27 were to be implemented more than five billion people of the world that do not accept Jesus as Divine and vicarious atoner, as Christians say he was, would be slaughtered. That Jesus said to love enemies and to forgive seventy-times seven is restricted to Jews : to end Jewish mutual enmity).
How then can the birth/birthday of the man who regarded non-Jews as “dogs” and “swine” and preached in parables to keep non-Jews pout of heaven; bequeath mankind a legacy of “fire” sword” “hate” and “division”, advocate the murder of opponents, how can the birth/birthday of this man be the “most wonderful time of year”? (Please note: this is Christians Jesus. For Muslims Jesus read the Qur’an).
That Christmas is the “most wonderful time of year” because of social merriment is correct. That Christmas is the “most wonderful time of year” because of Jesus’ birth is propaganda.
When, theologically, is the most wonderful time of year? Jesus says the Comforter will guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever”: “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever” and “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 14:16; 16:13).
In consonance with Jesus’ prophecy, Allāh reveals in Qur’an 61:6: “And when Jesus, son of Mary said: O Children of Israel, surely I am the Messenger of Allāh to you, verifying that which is before me of the Torah and giving the good news of a Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad” (Ahmad is another name of Mohammad).
Clearly, this Comforter who will teach all that we need for our moral, social, intellectual and spiritual life, it is his birth that is the “most wonderful time of year” to celebrate. And this Comforter, whose birth is the twelfth of Rabbi-ul-Awwal in 570 C.E. -twelfth day of the third month of the Islamic calendar, in year 570 of the Christians Era- as proven is the Prophet Mohammad.
(Notably: As the Comforter will give ‘all truth” and “abide for ever” the Bible, devoid of “all truth,” the Bible is obsolete; and as Jesus did not give “all truth” and will not “abide for ever” Jesus is redundant; NO ONE NEEDS JESUS; though he, as all prophets, are to be honored with peace an blessings of Allāh as Muslims honor him). THE COMFORTER MOHAMMAD IS NOW the only name, the way, the life, the truth, and the resurrection for all people).
That Mohammad is the Comforter:
-What description did Jesus/Holy Ghost give about Heaven or paradise? None! We have to ask Mohammad. (All Jesus said was that there are many mansions in his Father’s house: John 14:2. For more on Jesus’ alleged return see JESUS-SECOND COMING).
-What description did Jesus/Holy Ghost give about Hell? None! We have to ask Mohammad. (All Jesus said was that Hell was an “everlasting fire” that “never shall be quenched” in which there will be “wailing and gnashing of teeth”: Matt. 18:8; Mark 9:43; Matt. 13:42. Though Islam teaches that Hell is not forever –it is proportional to the degree of one’s sin: Qur’an 11:107; 78:21-26. See Muhammad Ali comm. on these verses).

-What scientific signs did Jesus/Holy Ghost foretell at the approaching doomsday? None. We have to ask Mohammad –the Sun will fold up–(Qur’an 81:1); Stars will fall, become dust-colored (lose light)–(Qur’an 81:2); The heaven will look like molten copper; red hide–(Qur’an 70:6-8; 55:37); Ocean will boil–(Qur’an 81:6; 82:3); The Sun and Moon will join together–(Qur’an 75:8-9).

For matters in all facets of life we have to ask the Comforter who guided us into “all truth” and who will “abide for ever” and whom all are to follow –MOHAMMAD!
Mohammad also:
-liberated man from the degradation and futility of idolatry, the irrationality of polytheism, and the phantasm of superstition;
-took the stars from the grasp of the astrologer and sat them firmly into the laps of the astronomer;
-freed the slave, liberated woman and gave her rights that left her nothing for which to strive;
-ennobled the orphan;
-brought man from drunkenness to sobriety, from profligacy to chastity, from tribalism into brotherhood, from savagery into scholars of learning, and from camel drivers into “thrones of Caesars” (while the world was yet running around with flint tools and torches);
-was a leader, general, administrator, soldier, king, laborer,
-and after twenty years of persecution and war on him he forgave his most rabid enemies upon his triumph at Makkah.
If the birth/birthday of any man can be crowned the “most wonderful time of year” it is the birth/birthday of PROPHET MOHAMMAD.
