Analyzing Christmas

Christmas is a festival that is celebrated by followers of Jesus in the month of december. In our society we are so much obsessed with religion that we think it is our duty to make others follow our version of religion. We used to had a society before the advent of jihadi era in which everyone used to respect and protect others religious sentiments but now our religiosity is tearing apart the vary social fabric of society.
Now i will try to analyze a religious ritual as a student of social science, christ birthday is a religious ritual in one of the biggest religion of the world, we will not go into the debate of exact birth date.
Religion is something which was socially constructed by humans in order to serve their unconscious fears, firstly people started to follow different object to over come their fears but as societies got developed and evolved human race moved from polytheist version of religion to monotheist. Christianity also falls under the same category of monotheist religion, Jesus pbuh was born after Mosa pbuh, he was follower of same divine code which Mosa pbuh brought. Jesus used to tell people who their creator is and people should prepare themselves for life after death. Till the time Jesus was alive, he only preached oneness of creator, God lifted him up towards skies alive. When jesus pubh was no more people like John paul started to preach concept of trinity, which had nothing to do with real teaching of Jesus pbuh. So christmas has nothing to do with Shirk and it is not haram to wish birthdays as far as my understanding of religion is. We common citizens have nothing to do with what John paul had added in real teachings of christ similary we have nothing to do with hate that molvis teaches in masjids about other sects and religions.
Culturally aspect of christmas, some rituals got embedded in our society, same is the case with christmas. It is celebrated more of cultural ritual than religious. Muslims also celebrate Eid e Milad, means birthday of mohammad pbuh. Extremism has reached its new heights,religious interpreters are trying to destroy traditional norms and values which the common people holds. Same is the case with christmas that is more of festival for meeting friends and family than for spreading religious hate among masses.
Our society became so much intolerant after this jihadi era that even we can not acknowledge the traditional norms and values which our society used to hold, people used to had peace and affection for each other rather than spreading their verdicts of halal and harams. This mind set is the breeding ground for Peshawar like incidents, Kot radha kishan and killing of innocent people of pakistan. We as society are so much radicalized that it will take generations to neutralize. Islam is a complete code of life but people of pakistan wants to implement that islam at state level but not at individual spheres. With the blood of thousands of innocent people you can not make pakistan progressive and tolerant country, even islam has nothing to do with such interpretations.

Hypocrisy a social disease

Today i came to know that its almost impossible to live with truth in this society, probably you will be cornered and above will be dealt with. Stealing, dishonesty, lie and frauds are so common now a days that if you say no these filthy practices you will have to face wrath of social group. People tend to portray that they are so much loyal and honest by fact of the matter is they are the worst hypocrites, on your face they will praise you and at your back they will spit against you. Above all we are proud muslims and our islam remains intact and we glorify and all mighty Allah with more zeal and vigor. We are intellectually dishonest and corrupt people who boast as if we are chosen people of the lord, yes we are chosen people of the lord but he chose us to be kicked by "Maghzoobi Aalihim and Duwaaleen" We should be ashamed of ourselves than feeling proud on corrupt psychology. We should stop making mockery of Islam by our so stupid and idiotic acts and to justify them at the name of islam.

Are we humans??

Socialism was far better than this capitalist economic system, system of social justice was there and everyone were getting justice, education, health and housing from state. While in capitalism profits of Corporations hold primary importance because they tells common man that we will reinvest it in order to generate more economic activity but fact of the matter is this filthy accumulation of wealth and throat slitting profit making are killing millions without food and health etc. If capitalist are enjoying with their luxurious houses and excessive food then that must be at the cost of making someone die because of hunger.
Muslims, nonmuslims, kafirs, momins everyone is engulfed with capitalist democracy which says, you can do your prayers in your mosques, churches, temples but we capitalist will control economics and do whatever we want to do for our profit maximization. This capitalism has changed the psychology of common man and turned them animals of greed and lust which prophet mohammad called man of gold and silver.
In the early days of Islam when islamic economic system was in place Usman ra and some other companions used to have accumulated wealth that was from their businesses, now the difference between current capitalism and islam's support of accumulation is based on morals. At that time those people were God fearing and their money was for the betterment of people and they didn't had any DHA, Askari or Bahria towns they used to live with common people within their community and had simple living but now a days this filthy capitalism turned us proud and make us extravagant. We are bodies without soul, according to saying of prophet mohmmad Muslims are like one body if any organ of that body feels pain whole of the body feels that.
Islam wanted to build a society based on morals, ethics where there will no classes everyone will be same, those who will own some property of may have accumulated wealth they will fear Allah that this is a test and we will be answerable for this accumulation, we are not the owner of this wealth that is Allah who bestowed upon us his blessing.
Society based on such morals is a far cry and i know this but this world had seen such people and a society based on these morals and prophet mohammad said such society based on the principle of social justice will come again on the face of this earth by the end of time so the order of creator could be implemented and his people will feel ease from the clutches of capitalism.
Muslims should revert back to their book, Quran so that they could understand what their book say about immoral accumulation of wealth.
