Glad to see its not only us not celebrating. Though last night , my florist i use often at Christmas to decorate the house , knocked on my door. He asked if he had done something to offend us. We didnt decorate. I told him we were very very sad. And didnt feel like celebrating this year. He gave us a gift. A 6 foot tall live tree. I was surprised. I assured him we would continue to use him in the future . He understood. I told him we wantvto decorate for Asian new year. He smiled. I respect everyones opinions. If you want to celebrate . Great! If you have children ... Fake it ,if you have to. I wish you all happiness and peace . ❤️

You are canceling a holiday meant to honor the Lord because there is a war going on? Did you cancel Christmas for the genocide happening in Ukraine last year? You will need to cancel every holiday from here on out with this line of thinking because there are several wars going on now and there will be wars somewhere in the world during the next holiday too. It's a shame that a war going on across the world is what made you give up practicing your faith.

We can definitely fight the atrocities committed by them, many people in Gaza have left this world, but our hearts must not for an inch abandon their struggle as long as we are still alive to replace the position of those who have left. Their leader has bought 10,000 weapons to distribute to ordinary people for the reason of self-defense, even though the weapons are to take over people's houses on the west bank of Palestine. and nearly 100 journalists have left because of this struggle. They want to silence the world with their cruel actions. Indeed, their arrogance and cruelty surpassed that of Pharaoh

*There are saheeh hadees reports which indicate that faith and goodness are greater in ash-Shaam(Greater Syria-Palastine) than in other lands.* It was narrated that Abu’d-Dardaa’ said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whilst I was sleeping, I saw the pillar of the Book being taken from beneath my head, and I thought that it was being taken away, so I followed it with my gaze, and it was taken to ash-Shaam. Verily faith, when tribulations come, will be in ash-Shaam.” Narrated by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (36/62); classed as saheeh by the commentators on al-Musnad. This is similar to the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): “The heartland of the believers is ash-Shaam.” {Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (27/42)} It was narrated that Ibn Hawaalah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “This matter will end with you becoming massed troops: troops in ash-Shaam, troops in Yemen, and troops in Iraq.” Ibn Hawaalah said: Choose for me, O Messenger of Allah, if I should live to see that. He said: “You should go to ash-Shaam, for it is Allah’s chosen land, to which He will gather His chosen slaves. But if you refuse, then go to Yemen and draw water from your ponds, for Allah has promised me that He will take care of ash-Shaam and its people.” {Narrated by Abu Daawood (2483).} This goodness will remain among them, if Allah wills, until the end of time, until Allah, may He be exalted, destroys the Dajjaal and his followers at their hands, when the Messiah ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam comes down and leads the believers in the fight against the Dajjaal. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (r) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) highlighted the distinct character of the people of ash-Shaam by noting that they will continue to comply with the commands of Allah until the end of time, and that the victorious group will remain among them until the end of time. This is speaking of an ongoing matter that will remain with them, that they will be numerous and strong. This description does not apply to anyone in the Muslim world except the people of ash-Shaam… knowledge and faith are still present in that land, and whoever fights in that land to support the faith will be victorious and will be granted divine help. End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (4/449). It was narrated that Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Prophet of Allah, what was the beginning of your affair? He said: “The prayer of my father Ibraaheem and the glad tidings of ‘Eesaa. My mother dreamt that there came out of her light by which the palaces of ash-Shaam were illuminated.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah (1545). Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (1/444): The fact that ash-Shaam is singled out in conjunction with his light indicates that his religion and his teachings will abide in Bilaad ash-Shaam. Hence at the end of time, ash-Shaam and its people will be a stronghold for Islam, and in that land ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam will come down. (End quote.) With regard to the lack of religious commitment in some eras, this may happen for some wise purpose that Allah, may He be exalted, wills. But this does not cancel out the general principle. In some hadiths, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) indicated that the people of ash-Shaam may become corrupt, and if that happens, then its impact will affect the entire ummah. It was narrated from Mu‘aawiyah ibn Qurrah that his father said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If the people of ash-Shaam become corrupt, then there is no goodness in you, but a group of my ummah will remain victorious, not harmed by those who let them down, until the Hour begins.” (Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2192).
