With many non-Muslims present at this "Islam Awareness Week" lecture in Miami, Abdullah Hakim Quick delivers an enlightening talk about the origins of the major holidays celebrated today. He explains that throughout time there has been a constant struggle between those who believe in one God and those who believe in many gods. And with these struggles, many compromises were made by those who would ultimately influence and shape the major modern day holidays celebrated throughout the world. The result today are rituals not sanctioned by the prophets or scriptures of God, but rather mixed-up beliefs and practices that, essentially, can be attributed to ancient pagan culture. An intellectual analysis of this controversial subject by a well-known Muslim-American historian. The major celebrations analyzed are Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter and Halloween. Other topics discussed: Muslim holidays, Thanksgiving, Kwanza, the Sabbath, celebrating birthdays, the origins of the Hajj, having non-Muslims as friends, dealing with holidays in public school, and pork being served at the school cafeteria. (Duration: 1 hour, 25 min) Abdullah Hakim Quick was born in the U.S. and accepted Islam in 1970. He received an ijaza from the College of Da'wah and Islamic Sciences in 1979.

@moeazysgc Your argument makes no sense. Adam was told not to eat the fruit from the tree by GOD. Christ was not told to not eat anything by GOD (his Father; my LORD.) Christ was sent here by GOD (his Father; my LORD) to die for the sins of humanity. We worship God, BY the Holy Spirit, THROUGH the shed blood of Jesus Christ (not polytheistic). Jesus is not GOD, therefore GOD did not die. Your argument has too many logical fallacies. There are your answers. Now explain why you worship a murderer.

@siik138 So thier For Inherited the Misery of Mankind U worship a Human Being a Man Not son of God because the miraculous Birth of Jesus is not what makes him God? or son of God? is it?! And also How could God die by his creatures? creation can not be > then the creator!God has no need 4 children or offspring's if so this is a clear contradiction n blasphemy of God(this would mean God was created n had parents or grand parent also Christianity claims to be monolithestic but believes god is 3in1!

Cont.

@khanSherKhan Directly from the "heavens" as stated in the quran. This causes a contradiction. This contradiction causes the whole religion to be bullshit because it was written and thought of by a MAN. :D It was a nice little debate and I commend you for your effort. Thank you.

[siik138]

@khanSherKhan HA, You keep on telling yourself that. By bringing up this 100% irrelevant argument you just showed me that you are not able to intellectually defend your beliefs. By the way, you have to pray for forgiveness, and even then you might not be forgiven; it doesn't just happen. You must follow the ways of Christ. Shame on YOU for following a false prophet. You just rolled with the fact that many rituals in islam come from pagans thereby voiding the argument that the quran came...

[khanSherKhan]

@SolarWinds63 , your god and saviour is dead, I am sorry about that. christianity is first stupid cult on this earth who believe that their god is hanged. He could not saved him but he is saviour of these stupid alcoholics.

[khanSherKhan]

@siik138 , thats mean all these gays, lesbians(parading on the street of Sydney, New York etc), gamblers,incest, alcoholics are the fruits of Jesus. Shame on you when you comments and don't look at yourself. People I described and people you described are fruits of devil. Trouble with christians is that they don't know bible let alone Quran.
