Halloween is a spooky holiday that many people celebrate. It's a time for dressing up in costumes, trick-or-treating, and having fun. But why don't Muslims celebrate it?
Halloween started as a holiday called Samhain. Many years ago, people in Ireland and Scotland celebrated Samhain. They believed that on this day, the spirits of the dead would return to Earth. To scare away these spirits, people would light bonfires and wear masks.
Over time, Samhain became Halloween. Today, people celebrate Halloween by dressing up in costumes, trick-or-treating, and having fun.
Muslims don't celebrate Halloween because it goes against the teachings of Islam. Islam teaches us to believe in one God, Allah, and to follow the Prophet Muhammad's example. Halloween doesn't align with these teachings.
Here's why:
Focus on Allah: Muslims believe that Allah is the only one who deserves our worship and attention. Halloween can distract us from focusing on Allah.
Avoid celebrating spirits/ghosts and other such aspects: Muslims believe that the hereafter is real and serious. It should not be something to take lightly or joke about.
Celebrate Islamic Holidays: Muslims have their own special holidays, like Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. These holidays celebrate important events in Islamic history. Moreover the month of Ramadan is a WHOLE month dedicated to Allah where Muslims try to be the best they can in many ways according to the Quran and Sunnah!
Instead of celebrating Halloween, Muslims focus on their own special holidays and traditions. These holidays are a time for family, friends, and community. They help us remember important events in Islamic history and connect with our faith.
Christmas is a holiday celebrated by many people around the world. It's a time for giving gifts, decorating trees, and spending time with loved ones. But why don't Muslims celebrate it?

They believe that Jesus was a prophet of God, but not the Son of God. Muslims believe that Allah is the only God, and there is no partner or son to Allah.
Here are some reasons why Muslims don't celebrate Christmas:
Different Beliefs: Muslims and Christians have different beliefs about God and Jesus.

While Muslims may not celebrate Christmas, they do celebrate their own unique holidays and traditions. These holidays help Muslims connect with their faith and build strong relationships with others. Just as the people of different faiths and beliefs, such as Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism, et cetera Do not celebrate or partake in the festivities of the Islamic faith, Muslims do not partake in their celebrations and festivities of other religions and beliefs.
Remember that the religion of Islam revolves. around the teachings of Allah from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad according to the Sunnah.
