“I am a Muslim and I have a claim on Christmas. Nothing to do with the dubious pagan rituals and paraphernalia Christmas pageantry and ceremonies may be steeped or rooted in, but rather proceeding from an unshakable belief in the divine miracle of the pure virgin birth of Jesus as described so movingly – and so miraculously – in the Qur’an. Blessed forever be the name of Jesus and his Virgin Mother Mary. For, that is Islam: blessing the name of Jesus, the man God Almighty sent to guide and save his people. Blessed be thy name, Jesus, prophet and messenger of God. And blessed be thy name, Mary, virgin mother of Jesus.” (Dr. Pasha)
