Q&A: How Should I Reply to "Merry Christmas"? | Dr. Shabir Ally

You asked, we answered! "I immigrated to Canada where everyone celebrates Christmas. How should I reply when someone says Merry Christmas to me and how should I deal with my colleagues at work?" Dr. Shabir Ally says its important to build goodwill with fellow citizens and not isolate ourselves from the wider populace. Muslims who have concerns about saying "Merry Christmas" have a simplistic view of Christianity and what Christmas entails. The celebration of Christmas itself does not necessarily mean that one is worshiping Jesus. While we cannot worship Jesus, saying "Merry Christmas" just means you recognize that this is a time of year that many people around you consider important. So don't be like the Grinch who stole Christmas, he says. Speak a kind and good word to others, as the Quran advises us to do.
