christmas

The holiday break is a splendid time to rest from the workplace, school, and other commitments. Usually, it is a special time when extended families get together and make the holiday experience more enjoyable and memorable.

So, you are a parent of Muslim children in public school (in a majority non-Muslim country). Welcome to the club! Congratulations, for making it this far into the school year!

We are currently in that time of year when the holidays are on people’s minds. Christmas lights brighten the neighborhood at night, holiday specials are plentiful on TV, and even advertisements adopt Christmas themes.

Many Muslims have mixed feelings about People Of The Book – mainly Christians. The Quran gives a balanced perspective that we are to reflect upon.

In the fourth chapter of the Quran, the believer reads:
