Q 2: Thanks to Allah Who guided me to accept Islam. Now, I live
with my non-Muslim family who congratulate me on `Eid-ul-Fitr (the
Festival of Breaking the Fast) and `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the
Sacrifice). Then, when it is the time for their holidays, I do not
congratulate them; they therefore become upset with me and call me
arrogant. What should I do? Please, advise. May Allah reward you with
the best.
A:
It is not permissible for you to
congratulate non-Muslims on their festivals even if
they
get upset with you or feel you are haughty. It is recommended to endear
Islam to them and advise them nicely to accept it. We ask Allah
(Exalted be He) to open the hearts of your family to Islam.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
