In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Many Christians observe Jesus' birth as religious festival. But, what was the message of Jesus? From the Quran and Bible we see that Jesus taught:

"God is my Lord and your Lord; you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path." [ Quran 3:51, 19:36, & 43:64 ]

Jesus proclaimed aloud: "Whoever puts faith in me believes not so much in me as in him who sent me; ..... For I have not spoken on my own; no, the Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to speak. Since I know that his commandment means eternal life, whatever I say is spoken just as he instructed me." [ John 12:44-50 ]

"None of those who call me 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of God, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." [ Matthew 7:21 ]

... "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment." [ Matthew 22:37-38 ]


If we respect Jesus would we not want to follow the most important commandment Jesus taught? To make it a day devoted absolutely to God alone (Matthew 22:36-37, Quran 5:117).
