Christmas is for Christians while Eid is for Muslims. Sheikh Muzaata Bate claims that Christmas is a made-up pagan festival for non-Muslims. He says that Eid is a Gift from Allah for the Muslims. But Christmas is a pagan festival which has been connected with the Christian concept of Prophet Isa (Jesus). In Christianity, Jesus is God and this is just plain ‘shirk’. So being associated with Christmas is haraam on many levels, as described bellow: It’s haraam to support the idea of Christmas by celebrating it
