Notes

the origin of christmas is thought to be about 4000 years old.
Long long ago - centuries before the man called Jesus was born which chrismas commerates - there was a celebration In the winter season around the 25th of December. the celebration of the winter solstifce. The winter solstice would normally take place sometime between December
21st all the way to January 6th or so. thus the people of the north
would celebrate different holidays have different occasions based upon the
winter solstice
in the wintertime there is a period where there is no light you
are literally in darkness 24 hours of the day and this stretches on for a period of
time
now could you imagine if you're living in Alaska or living in Canada or
living in Norway and you don't have central heating and the cold is outside it's
darkness around you people are dying from disease
it's a terrible time and every family would probably lose somebody or they would know of somebody dying from the cold and disease during that season this is the winter solstice

and so when
the Sun starts to come out the people now are looking at the Sun as a
life-giving force and so during that time a number of ceremonies were held in
northern countries
in the far north was the Feast of the 12 nights which
stretched from December 25th to January 6th
also in ancient Greece there was the
Bacchanalia which was held for their god Bacchus the god of wine and sport and
play
the Romans had the Saturnalia for their God Saturn their main Sun God satyr
in germany pepole honoured odin whilst the norse celebrated Yule
and so you find during these times that the people held ceremonies in the north

they would burn bonfires. here the light was very important because the fire
represents light - the life-giving force for those who worship nature
furthermore in the north they recognized that there was one tree that even that despite the
cold would still remain alive: the evergreen tree, the fir tree and so in some
cases they would take this fir tree believing that there was powers of life
within the tree and they would put it in their homes set it there and put a
light on the top of it or burn them in the front or they would make mistletoes
and put them over their doorways a type of what we would call an amulet and they would hang the amulet over their doors hang
the amulet in their Hall hoping that this fir tree that this so-called
life-giving force would protect them from the danger of the winter and so their
ceremonies developed around this and this went on for hundreds of years
we also find in the ancient northern countries and the Druids of the north they carried
out special ceremonies surrounding the mistletoe and surrounding the fir tree
and the beliefs and they would meet within circular areas and they had a
secretive cult that spread throughout the far northern countries

one of the interesting individuals who you could look up in dictionaries or encyclopedias is a man called Mithra or Mithras - a very mysterious yet widespread character within the ancient times who was supposed to be the son of the Sun God himself and when you look at history you find that this individual Mithra was born on December 25th as well as on the seventh day week.
the day which we call SUNday
this cult had a special sacrament made up a bread and wine
and they would make this drink during this time and supposedly mithra had died for the
sins of the people only to later be resurrected which oddly sounds familiar doesn't it but when you try to find Mithras in the some of the ancient texts, you'd notice that through state intervention; they erased his name
but why is this that... because he shares some striking parallels with Jesus.
somewhere in the early days of Rome or Greece. somewhere in the area there were missionaries who were spreading the teachings of Jesus but they were met with force, as they didnt conform to society and so you will see in ancient Roman history that in
some cases the Roman Emperor would go out to the Coliseum and the gladiators
would be fighting each other and everybody's cheering for the gladiators sounds
like one of our football games they would go to the Colosseum right and the
gladiators would fight and then if one of the gladiators was down and they would
look at the at the Emperor should I kill them or not and if he wanted to kill
him he would say you go like that right you know let's sign down if he said keep
him alive he goes like this you know we use it today yes okay give us that sign
okay one of the terrible things happening during these ceromonies at the Coliseum
is that they would bring those Christians out. literally men women and children to
feed them to hungry animals. they would take a hyena or a wolf or a lion and get
it hungry and crazy and beat it and throw raw meat at it and then send it out. meanwhile
the people would literally cheer and watch as the animal ripped the
bodies apart. this was frankly a terrible culture and so somewhere
along the line somebody who didt approve of the torture who felt that maybe we could
win these people over (for political gain as well as religios), made a compromise leading ti changes and setting up the early part of the Christian era in southern Europe where the the major ceremonies held by the nature worshipping people were combined with Christian
names and Christian ceremonies to form what we would call christmas and therefore get a mixture of the two streams of monotheism and polytheism.

he was not born in the cold weather. numerous historical sources can show us that. For example around the time of birth of jesus, in a decription of the events a palm tree is described on which grew a type of dates. when the dates become ripe when you start to see the color of the dates changes to brown. brown you know dates are
originally red and they're yellow there are other colors but they turn the brown
it sits at the height of the heat that the dates become ripe and so it's at that
time that she gave birth to isa al islam so from different points of view
different historical points of view and different religions we understand that
ISA alaihi salam was not born during the winter season he was born in the warm
weather so who was it that was born in the winter season what is that who is
that character now let us become detectives and try to find out the answer to
this problem number one you have to understand this concept of Saturn the
concept of bacchus when they are portrayed by the different artists who drew
pictures of them or the sculptures they are usually portrayed as a heavyset man
with a white beard and when in the Sistine Chapel Michelangelo drew his picture
you could see the long flowing beard and there are actually pictures of this man
on a sled being drawn by snakes with wings snakes with wings snakes do not
normally fly but in this case the snakes have win and the heavyset man is on his
sled being drawn by these flying animals sound familiar to you now doesn't it
he's being drawn by the flying animals he's before performing miracles he is
coming out on December 25th which is not the birthday of ISA lays around has
nothing to do with Christianity it is the time of the of the Bacchanalia and and
the Saturnalia and he is representing riotous fun drunken reverie and so what
happens on Christmas the Christmas season especially in America people at today
I'm not even thinking about ISA eleiza they're not even thinking about Jesus
they look and how they can get drunk on Christmas what is going on in the
Caribbean and many paths if they offer you a Christmas pudding or Christmas pie
or Christmas drink watch out because it's probably laced with rum or wine that's
the spirit of the season now this riotous occasion that was going on went so far
that the Christian Church banned it and the Church of England according to
historical sources actually banned it all the way to 1647 it was prohibited in
England to celebrate Christmas because they saw Christmas as being a pagan
holiday this is an official position taken by the Christian Church the Church of
England who are known at that time as Puritans what happened was an individual
was superimposed a name was superimposed we hear about the name of Saint
Nicholas st. Nicholas now st. Nicholas himself is actually coming from the
ancient writings of beer wolf and in these writings which are done in the
Scandinavian region we find the name Nick or nickel or nikkor he was known as a
demon the demon of the north he was known as the evil spirit of the north the
name of Odin the evil principal and so in Germany and in many of the northern
countries the people actually looked upon this so-called Saint Nick as being an
evil force and they would tell their children in the winter time don't go
outside because if you do Nicholas will come along Nikhil will come along he'll
capture you put you in his bag and take you away and so they used it as a
negative concept in Isaiah in what is left of the Bible in chapter 14 in 1413
the devil is is known as the Prince of Darkness and it is an understanding that
his throne the seat of his power is in the north somewhere in the north is the
seat of power of this evil and so the Germans also when they depicted Nicholas
or this palace nickel as they would say Pels nickel in German it means a furry
devil when they when they depicted him they depicted him as a man with red fur
he had red fur coat and he was his base was in the north and he was the essence
of evil and the Church of England till 1647 took the position that this
celebration could not go on so what we are actually seeing is that the Christmas
occasion was actually the time of evil it was the time of the belief in the
Saturnalia and the Bacchanalia and because of this they shifted the occasion to
New Year's Eve they shifted all of their feelings and their merriment and their
evil to New Year's Eve now before we go to that looking back back at Christmas
what is happening now on Christmas season I don't know what goes on in Miami but
in the northern cities and Christmas occasion they put lights around and Santa
Claus parades do you ever Santa Claus Parade eeeh they have Santa Claus parades
and st. Nicholas is outside and he's in the streets and everybody's talking
about Saint Nicholas and the poor children are taught that st. Nicholas is going
to come down your chimney most people don't have chimneys in Miami anyway but a
350-pound man is going to come down your chimney and bring you presents and keep
his clothes white and red and he go to all of the homes in the area and put a
presence in your stockings and put our presents under your tree and then fly
back out into space and and the father the poor father who sweat and toiled all
year to get you the presents gets no credit for the present given to the child
st. Nicholas comes down the chimney give you this present flies off into the
night and many of us were raised thinking believing in this some of us would
sneak into the night and look and see our Father put in the president of the
tree we knew what he was doing anyway but you went along with it and the people
say well you know it's Christmas don't you like to have fun you want to stop the
children from having fun what kind of people are you but what is there what are
you teaching the children you are using the name of Jesus using the name of ISA
alaihi Salam and you are using a figure who historically is the devil the devil
himself will Yahoo belong they are using his figure and he has now taken over
the Christmas season Christmas now to most people means materialism you have to
buy presents for your cousins and your friends and you got to buy about 30 for
our presence and you find that most American people are in debt for six months
after Christmas now where is Jesus you get drunk you fight you lose all your
money the stores raise their prices ISA lays the lamb is described as a very
humble person most of the time he didn't wear shoes only one or two changes of
clothing a very simple person eating very simple food fasting most of the time
you see what is going on there are two streams now a stream of polytheism a
stream of monotheism and now the polytheism the materialism is overtaking the
monotheism and standing in the way and taking over our society and some foolish
Muslims coming along from outside of in their country say oh I just want to be
an American I want a tree - so I said one of the brothers said he had a
Christmas tree in this house he came for I said brother do you know what the
tree stands for he said no okay I'll get a palm tree with dates now I'll make it
halal a halal Christmas tree but brother you have to understand what it means
you have to understand what it means number one the properties of Islam when he
spoke about he talked about in Rukia what time am what - Allah he all of these
things are shirk that if you hang amulets thinking that this tau YZ or this
airman is going to protect you from something then you are actually giving power
to to the creation of Allah and taking it away from the Creator if you think
that by making some spells going to a magician and asking them to put a spell on
someone you want to get married so you go to the Sahara and say put a spell on
Ali I want to marry him put a spell on Zeynep what kind of marriage are you
going to have if you go to the magician and so the Prophet peace be upon him
named all of these things the superstitions the amulets all of these type of
things are the other stream which goes away from monotheism from the belief in
one God and takes you into another you
