[quote]I want to initiat a discussion on whether muslims who chose other countries to live and settle can celebrate a national or patriotic day without harming their imaan? As emphasis here is "Thanksgiving", i will describe here its brief history and intro. Thanksgiving is an American ( probably canadian too) holiday which is celebrated on the last thursday of November. The holiday is about being thankful for whatever they have in their life, the food, the relatives, love, health and all other blessings. It started when the first settlers from Europe came here after Columbus discovered this land, and harvested their first crop in November. There was a big feast where natives were also invited. Some muslims who are settled here form many years celebrate this tradition. While many say that they don't need any specific day for being thankful. A muslim should be thankful to God all year long, every moment. What do you think? Should we stick to our two holidays in a year that are two Eids, or can we celebrat our second home non-religious holidays?[/quote]
