Short Description:In these days of excess entertainment and
consumption, it is easy to get caught up in the so-called "holiday
season", rarely stopping to consider its significance. I say so-called,
because the very word holiday is derived from the two words holy and day.
However, under closer scrutiny from the Judeo-Christian and Islamic
perspectives, these days are anything but holy. Celebrations such as Easter,
Christmas, All Saints’ Day, and Halloween all find their roots in pagan
traditions, alien to the prophets (may peace and blessings be upon all of the
prophets). Proof of these lies in the lack of historical evidence that the
prophets ever celebrated their birthdays, decorated eggs, placed ornaments on
trees, or dressed up in costumes. Through an examination of these holiday myths
as religious innovation, or bid'ah, this article is a small attempt at warning
people of the dangerous implications and subtle attitudinal changes that come
with such celebrations.
