Christmas and 25th of December
Many Christians are unaware that the true spirit of reverence which Muslims display towards Jesus and his mother Mary spring from the fountainhead of their faith as prescribed in the Holy Quran. Most do not know that a Muslim does not take the name of Jesus , without saying Eesa alai-hiss-salaam i.e. (Jesus peace be upon him).
Jesus is commonly considered to have been born on the 25th of December. However, it is common knowledge among Christian scholars that he was not born on this day. It is well known that the first Christian churches held their festival in May, April, or January. Scholars of the first two centuries AD even differ in which year he was born. Some believing that he was born fully twenty years before the current accepted date. So how was the 25th of December selected as the birthday of Jesus ?
Grolier's encyclopedia says: "Christmas is the feast of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated on December 25 ... Despite the beliefs about Christ that the birth stories expressed, the church did not observe a festival for the celebration of the event until the 4th century.... since 274, under the emperor Aurelian, Rome had celebrated the feast of the "Invincible Sun" on December 25. In the Eastern Church, January 6, a day also associated with the winter solstice, was initially preferred. In course of time, however, the West added the Eastern date as the Feast of the Epiphany, and the East added the Western date of Christmas".
So who else celebrated the 25th of December as the birth day of their gods before it was agreed upon as the birth day of Jesus ? Well, there are the people of India who rejoice, decorate their houses with garlands, and give presents to their friends on this day. The people of China also celebrate this day and close their shops. Buddha is believed to have been born on this day. The great savior and god of the Persians, Mithras, is also believed to have been born on the 25th of December long before the coming of Jesus .
The Egyptians celebrated this day as the birth day of their great savior Horus, the Egyptian god of light and the son of the "virgin mother" and "queen of the heavens" Isis. Osiris, god of the dead and the underworld in Egypt, the son of "the holy virgin", again was believed to have been born on the 25th of December.
The Greeks celebrated the 25th of December as the birthday of Hercules, the son of the supreme god of the Greeks, Zeus, through the mortal woman Alcmene Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry among the Romans (known among the Greeks as Dionysus) was also born on this day.
Adonis, revered as a "dying-and-rising god" among the Greeks, miraculously was also born on the 25th of December. His worshipers held him a yearly festival representing his death and resurrection, in midsummer. The ceremonies of his birthday are recorded to have taken place in the same cave in Bethlehem which is claimed to have been the birth place of Jesus .
The Scandinavians celebrated the 25th of December as the birthday of their god Freyr, the son of their supreme god of the heavens, Odin.
The Romans observed this day as the birthday of the god of the sun, Natalis Solis Invicti ("Birthday of Sol the invincible"). There was great rejoicing and all shops were closed. There was illumination and public games. Presents were exchanged, and the slaves were indulged in great liberties. These are the same Romans who would later preside over the council of Nicea (325 CE) which lead to the official Christian recognition of the "Trinity" as the "true" nature of God, and the "fact" that Jesus was born on the 25th of December too.
In Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Gibbon says: "The Roman Christians, ignorant of his (Christ's) birth, fixed the solemn festival to the 25th of December, the Brumalia, or Winter Solstice, when the Pagans annually celebrated the birth of Sol " vol. ii, p. 383.
Christians opposed to Christmas
There are several Christian groups who are opposed to Christmas. For example, they take the verse from the Bible in Jeremiah 10:2-4 as an admonition against decorating Christmas trees.
The King James Version reads: "Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen.... For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
In order to understand this subject, it is helpful to trace some of the history of Christmas avoidance, particularly its roots in Puritanism.
The Puritans believed that the first-century church modeled a Christianity that modern Christians should copy. They attempted to base their faith and practice solely on the New Testament, and their position on Christmas reflected their commitment to practice a pure, scriptural form of Christianity. Puritans argued that God reserved to himself the determination of all proper forms of worship, and that he disapproved of any human innovations - even innovations that celebrated the great events of salvation. The name Christmas also alienated many Puritans.
Christmas, after all, meant "the mass of Christ." The mass was despised as a Roman Catholic institution that undermined the Protestant concept of Christ, who offered himself once for all. The Puritans' passionate avoidance of any practice that was associated with papal Rome caused them to overlook the fact that in many countries the name for the day had nothing to do with the Catholic mass, but focused instead on Jesus' birth. The mass did not evolve into the form abhorred by Protestants until long after Christmas was widely observed. The two customs had separate, though interconnected, histories.
As ardent Protestants, Puritans identified the embracing of Christianity by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the early 300s CE as the starting point of the degeneration and corruption of the church. They believed the corruption of the church was brought on by the interweaving of the church with the pagan Roman state. To Puritans, Christmas was impure because it entered the Roman Church sometime in this period. No one knows the exact year or under what circumstances Roman Christians began to celebrate the birth of their Lord, but by the mid-300s CE, the practice was well established.

Popular fast-food chain Subway has decided to remove ham and bacon from the menus of nearly 200 of its locations in the United Kingdom and Ireland, replacing it with halal meat, according to the Daily Mail.
An all meats are halal sign now appears at Subway locations where these changes have been adopted, with turkey ham serving as a replacement, the Daily Mail reported.
Muslims cannot eat pork or consume any non-halal meat meat that is not slaughtered and prepared in accordance with Islamic law.
someone told me
By the way, just observation also, everytime my wife eat pork, cya faint and appear in his body that we do not know why. the wives avoiding eating pork.
There are so many animals / creatures that aren't moving fit for human consumption (and by the way it is God who pronounced it "unclean"
Why Pork Is Forbidden For All - Dr. Zakir Naik
- The prophet says (adultery and drinking alcohol are signs for the imminence of day of resurrection) [Narrated by Al-Bukhari], if we walk around in the streets of many countries we can find people are drinking alcohol and performing adultery and because of that AIDS is around us in all over the world. Who told the prophet peace be upon him about that?
- The prophet peace be upon him said: (some people will permit alcohol and will name it by different names) {narrated by Ahmed} today, there are different names for alcohol such as beer, vodka, whisky, all of these names weren 't known at the time of the prophet, who told him this information?
Bible has discouraged strong drink long before Islam existed, long before even jesus was born.
Solomon wrote: "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."
Even before Solomon was born, of the Leviticus priesthood:
"Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:"
Alcohol and Pork prohibited in the Qur'an and the Bible - by Dr. Zakir Naik

macoooo Advancedrabbit halal
because it is clean and pure and does not harm human health, and never fed on waste
Food
Rabbits fed on the grass and vegetables, and they drink the water and should be a source of clean water
Rabbits need for some important requirements if you want breeding for economic purposes, including:
* Food: you must provide clean food, clean water
* Clean: You must maintain the cleanliness of the nest (or the battery as it is called) because rabbits are sensitive to dirt, you should get rid of the droppings on an ongoing basis
* Care of small children should be provided away from the male parent to be able to care for the young and protect them.
* Temperature: You must provide a place to be warm in winter and summer shade.

macoooo AdvancedFrogs: it is not permissible to eat
That the Prophet peace be upon him forbade five: "Ant and Bee, Frog and Shrike and Hoopoe" 0
It was also reported from Anas may Allaah be pleased with him that the frog took water in its mouth to put out the fire that was prepared to burn the Prophet Ibraaheem (Abraham)peace be upon him
These creatures are not simply: there are many similarities between communities of people and communities of those critters.
Sura is called ants
Talk about the Prophet Solomon peace be upon him and the Kingdom of Spaa and ants
Ants just like humans
Nations and tribes
They have their own language
allah says in the Holy Qur'an
18. Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (Solomon) and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not."
19. So he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves."
There is no animal on earth and no bird that flies with its wings as you or they belong to communities. We have neglected nothing in the book. Then they will be collected. Their Lord (Qur'an 6/38).
Praise Him the seven heavens and the earth and who therein. There is nothing or praises His praise, but you do not understand. Their praise He is gentle and forgiving. Qur'an 17/44).

macoooo AdvancedThis is very important
Do you think that the world of insects and animals
Live without obligations and punishment for his mistakes?
You are completely mistaken
And need more learning
Among the proven information that studies the
behavior of the animal world where the courts
of the Ravens and prosecute any individual
group comes out on its own according to the
laws of justice innate set by God Almighty to
them, and each group when the Ravens offense
punishable own.
Food rape young chicks: punishment requiring
that a group of crows pluck feathers crow
until the aggressor incapable of flight
small prior to the completion of
development.
And the crime of rape or destroy the nest:
Ravens only court to compel the aggressor to
build a new nest to nest the victim.
The crime of assault on a female crow last:
it requires a group to kill the aggressor
Ravens ,crows beak beaten to death.
The court sits normally in a field of
agricultural fields or in the land of wide,
gathered where the Court on time, and brings
Crow accused under heavy guard, and his trial
begins Phoenix head, lowers his wings, and
holding a recognition of guilt for crowing.
If sentenced to death, jumped a group of
crows on the expansion of the comet apart
beak sharp until he dies, and then
carried by a crows beak to dig his grave
compatible with the size of his body, which
he puts the body of the dead crow and then
hurl it out of respect for the sanctity of
the dust of death
And thus assess the crows of divine justice
in the earth better than hosted many of the
sons of Adam

macoooo AdvancedMy dear brother
allah created the creatures
We learned through the Holy Qur'an and the Hadith
1_ There are creatures in the service of human farce such as cow, buffalo, horse and donkey, birds (chicken and ducks And so on ..)
allah says in the Holy Qur'an
8. And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge.
2 - There are creatures not in the service of man and should be killed because they cause serious harm to humans
Such as talk of 'Aa'ishah said: The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him: Five of the animals
Raven - Mice - Alhaddeeh - Dog Alakor Scorpio
And similar to them
Like a snake And so on
is a consensus among scientists
. Should be killed, whether in Mecca during the pilgrimage, or normal times, in any place

macoooo AdvancedAllah Almighty created animals for many rule .. The first is to serve man in his life, and then to work the natural balance In the ground ... And others
142. And of the cattle (are some) for burden (like camels etc.) and (some are) small (unable to carry burden like sheep, goats etc. for food, meat, milk, wool etc.). Eat of what Allah has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Surely he is to you an open enemy.
5. And the cattle, He has created them for you; in them there is warmth (warm clothing), and numerous benefits, and of them you eat.
66. And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.
80. And Allah has made for you in your homes an abode, and made for you out of the hides of the cattle (tents for) dwelling, which you find so light (and handy) when you travel and when you stay (in your travels), and of their wool, fur, and hair (sheep wool, camel fur, and goat hair), a furnishing and articles of convenience (e.g. carpets, blankets, etc.), a comfort for a while
68. And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.
69. "Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think
14. And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful.
8. And (He has created) horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an adornment. And He creates (other) things of which you have no knowledge
and then to the work of the natural balance in the soil ... and others ...
.There are forests and deserts and remote areas and tropical
.
Man do not live in it
Man kills animals that live around him, which pose a threat to human life
But
Not search for them all over the world and kill them.
Therefore
There is no prejudice to the natural balance and defects in creation

Narrated Jabir bin Samura (radiallahu anhu): A man asked the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wassalam), Should I perform ablution after eating mutton? He replied, If you wish so, he then asked, Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat? He (salallahu alayhi wassalam) said: Yes. [Reported by Muslim
It was narrated that Jabir bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sent us, three hundred men, carrying our provisions on our necks. Our provisions ran out until there would be for (every) man among us one date (a day)." Then it was said, "O Abu Abdullah, how can one date satisfy a man?" He replied, "When we no longer had it, we realized how much it was worth. Then we came to the sea and found a whale that had been thrown up by the sea, and we ate from it for eighteen days." [Ibn Majah - graded sahih]
This hadith shows to us the devotion with which the Prophet's Sahabah (radi Allahu anhum) carried out Jihad. They continued in all circumstances, even when they did not have mounts to ride, or food to eat.
The second thing that we learn from this hadith is that dead fish are lawful to eat. Fish do not have to be slaughtered while alive, as some deviant sects believe. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said of the sea, "Its water is pure and its dead are permissible."
Finally, this hadith shows us how Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) provides from unexpected quarters. This is true of rizq/provision in general for everybody. However, mujahideen are blessed with even stranger and more unique favours from Allah (subhana wa taala). It is not uncommon for Allah (subhana wa taala) to provide them with miracles. When miracles happen for prophets they are called mujizaat; when miracles happen for mujahideen they are called karaamaat. Karaamaat happened for the mujahideen of the earlier generations and they happen for mujahideen today as well.
The whale, that Allah (subhana wa taala) provided Jabir bin Abdullahs expedition with, was so big that 300 men ate from it for 18 days and then took its dried meat back with them to Madina. Since this was special provision from Allah (subhana wa taala) the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) also asked for some of this dried meat, to partake of Allahs unique favour on the mujahideen. The cavity of one of the eyes of this whale was so big that thirteen men could sit together in it. The largest camel that they had, fully saddled, could pass under one of the bones of its ribs without touching the rib. It was narrated that Jabir bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sent us, three hundred men, carrying our provisions on our necks. Our provisions ran out until there would be for (every) man among us one date (a day)." Then it was said, "O Abu Abdullah, how can one date satisfy a man?"
