But if you are doing it to build a relationship after knowing what Christmas stands for, you are building your place in Jahannam (Hell).

Islam takes into account human nature and the complexities of human society. Islam is guidance from the Creator Himself. Therefore, Islam is also called the Deenul-Fitrah (the natural religion of Man).
