“You will follow the ways of those before you span by span and cubit by cubit…”

Today, we see many Muslims not only greeting the Kuffār with their greetings on the day of their ‘Īd but even the Muslims! Some even taking in their celebrations and participating in them as though they are permissible. The lines between īmān and shirk are being blurred by people placed on pulpits and have no right to be on there by people running masājid and organizations who have no right to do so. Simply being a Muslim doesn’t give a person the right to determine the affairs of other Muslims, nor the right to make permissible and impermissible matters related to the dīn.
