Holiday Myths – New Edition

Holiday Myths comes from decades of lectures, sermons and research by Shaykh Abdullah Hakim Quick. As society continues to drift aimlessly toward a philosophy of hedonism and other corrupt ideologies, there needs to be more understanding about why such emphasis is placed on particular themes and where they come from. Ideologies that seem novel, wholesome or progressive but are anything but. From Christmas and Easter to Pride and Valentine’s Day, these holidays are rooted in medieval or even ancient practices – ignorance of which threatens one’s spiritual well-being.

Just as we seek to understand the psychology of the algorithms that influence much of our lives, we should also strive to be conscious of the holidays that shape so much of our modern-day calendar. This book is for those who seek to remove the blinders from themselves and their young about the myths that influence us and distract from our ultimate goal in this world – to please Allah Most High.
