Yes, Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas but what is wrong with enjoying it and taking part in all the fun surrounding it? In Islam, Jesus is also one of our prophets. Christmas is a Christian holiday but nowadays it is a universal holiday that is celebrated by anyone and everyone – even those who are not even religious.

As you can tell from the above, the European thanksgiving observance is not anything like the more secular traditional family holiday and feast in Canada and the United States. Unless they live in a rural area or are church-goers, most Germans have only experienced Erntedankfest by seeing it on television.

Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t celebrate Thanksgiving. Instead, members of the religious sect take the day to increase their door-to-door evangelism.

Kissing is not allowed between a man and a woman unless the man and woman are Mahram (essentially a specifically defined, closely related family member). Kissing is allowed between two men as long as there is no lustful/sexual component. Kissing is haram in only few cases.

The definition of a haram relationship is a romantic or non-professional relationship between a man and a woman of marriageable age who are not each other’s mehrams. This is because there is an Islamic principle which states that anything which leads to the haram is also haram.

A majority of Muslims subscribe to the view taken by modern scholars such as Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi who opined in his influential book, The Lawful and the Prohibited, that music is forbidden only if it leads the believer into activities that are clearly defined as prohibited, such as drinking alcohol and illicit sex.

The question of permissibility of music in Islamic jurisprudence is historically disputed. Those who do not allow music believe that Muhammad censured the use of musical instruments when he said: “There will be among my Ummah people who will regard as permissible adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments”.

Some Muslims also believe that music should not be listened to during Ramadan as it is haram – forbidden or proscribed by Islamic law. Playing loud music is not advised, nor is driving and playing loud music at the same time. In addition, the lyrics shouldn’t have any swearing in them.

There is a popular perception that music is generally forbidden in Islam. The Qur’an, the first source of legal authority for Muslims, contains no direct references to music. Legal scholars use the hadith (saying and actions of Prophet Muhammad) as another source of authority, and have found conflicting evidence in it.

Muslim men are not allowed to wear clothes or other items made of pure silk and gold ornaments. Reported by Al-Bukhari, Hazrat Umar (RA) heard the Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) say, “Do not wear silk, for those who wear it in this life shall not wear it in the Hereafter.”

Are Muslim Men NOT Allowed to Wear Gold ? One of the religious taboo of Muslim is that Men are forbidden to wear gold jewelry but for men only.

Silk is very expensive because of its limited availability and costly production. It takes more than 5,000 silkworms to produce just one kilogram of silk. The farming, killing, and harvesting of thousands of silkworm cocoons are resource-heavy, labor-intensive, and costly processes.

Silk is haram for MEN, and wearing non-silk ties is makrooh. Wearing Silk Case: It is not permissible for men to wear silk; as for artificial silk, it is permissible, since it is not silk. It is not permissible for men to wear silk-lining garments if all or half of the linings were silk.

It is haraam and is not permitted.” Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen says: “Plucking of women’s eyebrows is not permissible. That’s because the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) cursed the one who does it.

Simply touch your silk and get a good feel for the smoothness of it. Real silk is completely smooth to the touch, with a soft and almost waxy feeling. Further to that, if you scrunch it up a bit in your hand, you should hear a crunching noise – that sound should tell you that it’s the real deal.
