A research-based, historical journey that explores the roots and origins of Christmas celebrations and their associated traditions from a balanced Islamic and doctrinal perspective. The book aims to answer common questions surrounding this holiday, discussing textual and historical evidence while providing clear guidance for Muslims on how to navigate these contemporary festive displays in a way that preserves their faith identity."
The book "Christmas History & Origin: A Muslim Perspective" raises fundamental questions that touch the heart of identity and faith. The author, Dr. Faruq Post, takes us on an objective and profound study that deconstructs the historical origins of Christmas and its related traditions such as cutting down and decorating trees while examining their relationship to historical facts and religious scriptures to answer the crucial question: When was Jesus (peace be upon him) really born according to the evidence? The book goes beyond mere historical narrative by establishing a solid doctrinal standard to evaluate religious rituals based on three core principles: the necessity of clear, authentic textual evidence revealed by the Creator, the practice and encouragement of these rituals by the Messenger and his companions and the freedom of the relied-upon scriptures from alterations and changes. Ultimately, the book offers a practical, guiding vision for the contemporary Muslim particularly those living in Western societies on how to navigate these holiday seasons with awareness and tolerance, while fully maintaining the integrity of their Islamic identity.
