Friday prayers at the TM tower. The imam yells syirik!, should you greet your Hindu friends Happy Deepavali. That you’ll lose your iman for saying that, or Gong Xi Fa Cai, Or Merry X’mas for that matter. Same was told to Muslim staff of Takaful Malaysia, and that even made the news.
I think at the end of the day, it really boils down to your relationship with God. If your path is true, simple things like well wishes shouldn’t sway you.
Acknowledging that something exists doesn’t mean that you agree with it. Nor is it something to shun like something viral. Understanding and knowledge of others may even lead you closer to Him. Irregardless of what we believe or do, we are all just searching for Him.
Only the starting point differs.
