2013 : The Year that was... My own Views ... By Nisaar Yusuf Nadiadwala

December 31, 2013 at 5:22pm

Every 31 Deecember the world media gives a statement of hits and flops of the passing year. So this year I too thought of making my own list of observations and analysis. Here it goes:

Seeing the Gulf war engulfing more cities it looks like its turning into Iran led Shias versus Arabs. It appears as the revival of the Persian Empire. On one hand we have the revival of the Persian Empire and on the other side of the political map of the world we have the revival of the Roman Empire via Euro Parliament, Euro currency, a brain child of previous Pope. Dangerous days ahead.

Gulf became wetter with more rain and US and Europe became colder with more snow storms. India became hotter with political heat as elections 2014 countdown begins. I have to choose between a party that makes life more expensive with soaring rates of onions and vegetables, and the other party that makes ( Muslim ) life cheaper by more riots and riots !

America's prestige went further down, faster than a stone thrown from a height. It seems to be the only government that shuts down! Even poor African countries dont shut down their governments. All of a suddent a super market type of a country looks like a road side stall. India really taught a strict lesson to America by removing barracades from around its Embassy. It looks likes the US glory is only an image or illusion that remains floated by Hollywood and Disney lands. Just like its fake supermans and bat mans, America too is in its winding up stage and be declared to be a fake super power or a ruin of an Empire.

Inspite the fact that life has become more difficult with the rates of basic needs jumping higher, Bollywood never sees a fall in business. Rather last year showed more films entering into 1000 Millions Rupees club, and most of them were Khans oriented movies. Is it a matter a pride or shame for the community that religion that came to clean up the society has followers enjoying monopoly in promoiting obscenity violence and extravagance in the society ?

The 31 December night can be called a night of the drunkards, night of accidents, night of adultery and yet people celebrate it greeting each other.

And finally breaking news from one of my 22 year old reader. He called me up and gave me the news that he is getting married soon and he said : I was inspired by your Notes on Marriage.

What Bible says about Celebrating Christmas


It is well known that Jesus wasn’t born on 25th December. It is one of the most widely propagated lie which has been accepted without pondering.

 In Gospel of Luke (KJV) there  are some accounts related to the birth of Jesus(pbuh):

{2:1} And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. {2:2} ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) {2:3} And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. {2:4} And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) {2:5} To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. {2:6} And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. {2:6} And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered
Parents of Jesus(pbuh) came to Bethlehem to register themselves as there was a decree from Ceaser Augustus. This census is only possible in summer due to freezing temperature in winter.  Verse continues…….

{2:7} And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. {2:8} And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

 At the time of birth of Jesus (pbuh) shepherds were keeping watch over their flock
in the field . This can only be possible in summer or early winter but not in extreme winter i.e 25th December.

 Biblical evidence are clear that Jesus(as) was born in summer and not in winter.

 Why 25th December  was selected for celebrating Christmas ??

There are no records of early Christians celebrating this till council of  Nicea. Early pagans used to celebrate b’day of their pagan Sun God Mithra on 25th December. Christians inherited this from pagans.


Some people argue
Yes we know, Christ wasn’t born on 25th Dec but we do just to commemorate the birth and what is wrong??

 This is a common reply we get which show the level of religious ignorance. Lets ponder over some of the verses from bible :

Matthew {5:17} Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {5:18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. {5:19} Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them,] the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. {5:20} For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

So Jesus (pbuh) said that he has come to fulfill the law of earlier Prophet (as per Bible its Old Testament), till the end no one should break even a single law from OT else He will be called least!

 Now lets see what what earlier law (OT) says about celebrating Pagan’s festivals:

Jeremiah {10:1} Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: {10:2} Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. {10:3} For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one] cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. {10:4} They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.{10:5} They [are] upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also [is it] in them to do good.

 There is a clear command not to follow Pagan’s way or celebrate their festivals, Interesting it specifically speaks about (prohibits) cutting tree and decorating it like the way Christians do with Christmas tree on the occasion of Christmas!!

Celebrating Christmas = Breaking law of OT = Breaking the command of Jesus (pbuh)


Still they  claim that they love Jesus (pbuh)!
