| celebrating birthday is an act practiced in the time of "Jaha'lat" and Mostly its something doing by Christians and thus we are not allowed to copy them. |

| Mothers day, fathers day, birthdays, valentines day, etc. is a means of the West exploiting us. We are told to give gifts to others by the Prophet (SAW), that is correct but we should appreciate each other all the time and not only on Kuffar occassions. We are also told by the Prophet (SAW) not to immitate teh Kuffaar.I personally give gifts to people when somebody is sick or when somebody has done me a favour and refuses money in return, or at any time out of the blue....a gift given to a person like your spouse out of the blue is much better than a person expecting a gift from somebody on Mother's day for example and not getting one....a surprise gift, and having no expectation is better than expectation and not receiving. |

| Why do you need a special day to celebrate your love to your mom, father, husband??The prophet said to us that we are only to celebrate two days, Eid Aldha and Eid Alfittar.I give gifts to my mom, father, wife, brothers and sisters with no occasion.These days are created for marketing.The Hadith you mentioned didn't say "Specify one day to give gifts and celebrate". The Hadith states as you mentioned give gifts and love each others. How does that relate to specifying a day in the year to do it??My mom celebrates being a mom every single day. I don't need Valentines day to show my love to my wife!! I do that every single day of my life. |

Where is the Hadith that give Gifts to each other on Mother's day Fathers Day , Birthday My every day is Mother's and Father's day , Coz its the Order of Allah in the Quran to obey your parents and respect them and Serve them and Birtday day is Haram , and have no concept in Islam , why dont you preffer Eids , they are the days to Celebrate and still we have to Thanks Allah to Pray Salah of Eids , can'nt we exchange gifts without these days , dont bound gifts with some specific days , gift them when you want dont wait for the DAYS no one know that he will alive on that DAYand Dont mind my Answer here is a Great Gift for you Smile  |

| I was searching the web to find out what Eid Aldha and Eid Alfittar are, and could not find anything explaining them but I did find a blog post and comments about Christmas being celebrated in Middle Eastern nations with decorations and shopping. I was a bit surprised to find Muslims defending the celebration of Christmas, but even more so to find ones defending specifically the decorations and shopping.Coming from a Christian background, and living in the Capitalist States of America, I am repulsed by the commercialization and rampant wastefulness of the Christmas holiday. (I am not happy either about all the false teachings that are rampant in Christianity.) I agree with others that these days are exploitative and unnecessary as we should celebrate the special people in our lives often enough that we do not need a store keeper to tell us it is time to buy a card or a gift. Spending time with your loved one, cooking a great meal for them, building them a piece of furniture, fixing something around their house that needs repair, writing them an inspirational poem, and many other things are precious gifts we can give to one another that do not require a card or a sacrifice to a family's income. I grew up poor in America and so it was hard to celebrate these days the way most of my countrymen do but I still loved the Christmas holiday because of the family togetherness. As an adult, interacting with people from middle class backgrounds, I came to understand how valuable poverty had been for keeping me from adopting false values and thinking they are good. Allahu akbar.EDIT: Why would we be sad about being a year closer to death, unless of course we have a reason to fear death. If we live right, we should not have this fear. Instead, I think birthdays should be appreciated as a milestone for one more year of survival on this crazy planet, a year's worth more wise and mature (hopefully), and a year closer to heaven. |

| The celebration festivals of Birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, ect...Are clearly Haraam and are every aspects of westernisation culture...The Muslims imitation of westernisation is bound to result in their complete obsession with westernisation concepts and a total eradication of Islam from their lives!"Whomsoever imitates a nation, is one of them."(Abu Daud, Ahmad)Tashabbuh - imitation is a sin!There is certain Aadaab of hadyah - gifts in Islam...Dont be ignorant of Islamic Muaasharat in the beautiful conduct relating to gifts! |

| prophet pbuh never celebrate his birthday or mothers day and fathers. These are the celebrations of Non muslims.My son hailed Happy Father's Day to me,And I smiled at his cynicism.What a coincidence,I called back astutely,We both are orphans,yet a happy family.I don't let an event get to me,Then why did I falter today?Perhaps life laughed in it's cruelest form,Bringing back our past decree.Grief is intangible,whether shallow or deep,Even kids bear it,bravo indeed.And I still struggle to collect myself,From picking up history from debris.And as I piece together the collage of memories,I think of The Happy Father's Day.Why just once a year?I celebrate it everyday,Aggressively,agonisingly,humourously. |
