Universal message of Christmas

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Times of India | Dec 24, 2020

Christmas is the festival of the Christian Church observed annually on the 25th day of December in memory of the birth of Jesus Christ.

The birth of Jesus Christ marks an exceptional event in human history. Islam has also attached great importance to it. The Quran has this to say:

‘Peace be on the day Jesus Christ was born” (The Quran, 19:33).
