這篇是一個穆斯林又是馬來人發表的文章，這兩天非常的火紅！很多人按贊也分享了！別錯過！

【穆斯林應該在聖誕節照常上班Muslims should go to work on Christmas】

In recent years, a lot has been said about what Malaysian Muslims can and cannot do with regard to Christmas celebrations. According to a growing number of tinpot ustazs, even the act of wishing Christians a 「merry Christmas」 is haram, never mind that the greeting has no basis in the Christian religion and that it simply means 「be merry on Christmas.」 But who can blame them? English is hard and a 「bahasa penjajah,」 after all.

近年來，有關馬來西亞的穆斯林該如何慶祝聖誕節這個課題的確引發很多爭論。尤其是最近大馬湧出許多像鐵桶一般只會發出嘭嘭聲的宗教司「挺身而出」聲稱：向別人說「聖誕快樂」是違背伊斯蘭教義的！

其實這句聖誕祝賀語在基督教里也是沒什麼依據的，純粹是「祝你在聖誕節這天快樂」！但你可以怪這些像空桶一般的宗教司嗎？英文這麼難，再說還是「外來語」。

They argue that a Muslim uttering a Christmas greeting or visiting Christian friends on Christmas is acknowledging the truth of the Christian religion and the belief that Jesus is the son of God, which is considered 「shirik,」 or polytheistic. This is despite a 2005 fatwa issued by Jakim that it is not wrong for Muslims to utter festive greetings to non-Muslims as long as it is done in the spirit of kindness and there are no 「shirik」 implications in the words.

他們辯稱如果一個穆斯林說「聖誕快樂」或在聖誕節拜訪基督教朋友就是「承認」基督教和相信耶穌就是上帝的兒子，這不是間接承認「多神」教了嗎？

But fair enough; we in Malaysia still have a little freedom left, and that includes not celebrating whatever celebration we don』t feel like celebrating.

不過若要說公道，我們在大馬還算有點自由，這包括我們可以「選擇」不慶祝我們不想慶祝的節日。

But if their main concern is to prevent Muslims from 「menyerupai orang kafir」 (behaving like infidels), they should take their piety a step further. It would not be too far a leap to say that taking the day off from work on Christmas Day is partaking in that Christian celebration. Muslims should ignore the holiday and go to work as usual.

如果那麼怕穆斯林「變成像異教徒」，他們可以更進一步來表示他們對宗教的虔誠，那就是杯葛任何有關聖誕節慶祝的活動，當天不應該休假，穆斯林應該像平常那樣去上班才對！

Resting on a public holiday given for a non-Muslim celebration should be made haram, and the ustazs and independent preachers on the sermon circuit should start telling their followers that. They can』t simply pick and choose when it comes to protecting their piety, refusing to show kindness to non-Muslims and accepting a rest day in their honour at the same time.

即是說，「在非穆斯林節日休假對穆斯林來說是違背伊斯蘭教的」。這些宗教司可以這樣對他們的追隨者這樣傳教啊！他們那裡可以就這樣為了維護自己「虔誠」的信念就宣揚不應該向非穆斯林表達友善，同時又要享有這個「非穆斯林節日」的公假！

So this Friday, Malaysian Muslims need to get up early as usual, travel to their workplaces, and do their work like there’s no public holiday. If their employers or office security turn them away, they should threaten to report them for trying to proselytise by way of making them observe a non-Muslim holiday.

所以這個星期五，大馬的穆斯林就應該像往常一樣早起，像平常那樣去上班才對！如果他們的老闆或保安人員不讓他們進去辦公，他們可以威脅去舉報這些阻止他們上班的，指他們企圖想要把他們變成像非穆斯林一樣的異教徒！

And Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), which is so concerned about Christian proselytisation, should put its money where its mouth is by ensuring that classes are still held on Christmas Day. We can』t have weak willed Muslim UiTM students running off doing Christian things now, can we?

馬拉工藝大學，那麼關注「改信基督教」這回事，他們應該堅持在聖誕節當天繼續開課！那裡能夠讓那些「意志薄落」的馬拉大學穆斯林學生跑去搞些基督徒才搞的東西，我們可以接受嗎？

Malaysian Muslims should also do this on public holidays given for other religions』 celebrations, such as Deepavali and Wesak, and even Chinese New Year, which has nothing to do with religion, but hey, everything can be made haram if you try hard enough.

其他公共假期如屠妖節或華人新年（儘管這與宗教無關），大馬穆斯林也應該一視同仁這樣做才對！不稀罕這些假期，應該照常去上班！

嘭嘭叫的宗教司們，繼續加油吧，那麼隨你們所願，什麼事都可能變成」被禁止做的"！
