"Thanksgiving: A Muslim's Perspective"
ENThanksgiving: A Muslim's Perspective
"This book provides a critical analysis and a profound Islamic perspective on the American holiday of "Thanksgiving." While mainstream media portrays it as a warm holiday celebrating peace and gratitude, the author exposes the falsehood surrounding this beautiful image, shedding light on the true and tragic suffering of the Native Americans for whom this day represents a painful memory of genocide and oppression. This is an essential book for every Muslim seeking to understand the dimensions of celebrating this day and the Islamic stance on participating in it."
With the arrival of November each year, millions around the world prepare to celebrate "Thanksgiving" as screens and advertisements flood the public consciousness with stereotypical images of the early Pilgrims and Native Americans gathering in an atmosphere of peace and affection. However, this book, authored by Dr. Faruq Post, arrives to lift the curtain on the historical truth obscured behind this scene. While many see this day as merely an innocent occasion to express gratitude, the author exposes how collective consciousness has been manipulated to erase a tragic reality for the Native Americans, this date represents a true "day of mourning" reminding them of the horrific genocide, extermination and forced displacement their nation endured. Through this deep historical and intellectual presentation, the book offers a critical Islamic perspective built on the values of justice and seeking the truth. It serves as a clear call to the contemporary Muslim and to all people of conscience to dismantle blind cultural conformity and to understand the legal and ethical dimensions of celebrating an occasion that was originally established upon the ruins of a human tragedy.
