Since Islam is a monotheistic religion, its followers believe in one God and do not celebrate holidays associated with other gods. However, Islam does have holidays that are considered special days of worship. These include Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, which celebrates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son. Although these holidays are not typically associated with gift-giving or feasting, they are still considered joyous occasions by Muslims.

What do Muslims do instead of Christmas?

This is why members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community help people attend church services and take part in food drives during Christmas. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy this holiday, regardless of their religion.
As Muslims, we should not celebrate Christmas as it is a Christian holiday. We should not have Christmas trees in our homes or wish others a Merry Christmas. This is because celebrating Christmas is considered haram in Islam.
How is Eid different from Christmas
The biggest difference between Christmas and Eid is the date. Spanish people celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, while in Bahrain they celebrate Eid just after Ramadan in October and the other one at the end of November. Another big difference is that Christmas is only one day while Eid is three days.
Many Muslims feel that by celebrating, or even acknowledging the Christmas holiday, they are going against their monotheistic belief. Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him) known as Isa ibn, Maryam is a revered prophet in Islam. Like Christianity, Muslims also believe Jesus (peace be upon him) to be the Messiah.

Muslims who are anxious about maintaining their heritage in a non-Muslim society should remember that there are many ways to celebrate Christmas that are respectful of their beliefs and traditions.

Muslims also use this day as an opportunity to forgive and reconcile with others.
Pork is considered haram, or forbidden, for Muslims to eat. The main reason for this is because it is specifically mentioned in the Holy Quran as being one of the forbidden foods. While other foods are not specifically mentioned as being either allowed or forbidden, pork is one of the few that is specifically mentioned as being haram. This is because pork is considered unclean and impure, and it is therefore not permissible for Muslims to consume it.
