What did you do for Christmas (if you celebrate it)? Individuals with a non-profit in Denver handed out joints to the homeless, but a Muslim man in London decided to spread some holiday cheer in a completely different way…
Take Part reports that homeless folks in London were surprised with a Muslim St. Nick when Nubaid Haroon sent a compassionate reminder of his religion’s core tenant.
With his own money, Haroon purchased a number of gifts, wrapped them, and then set out to the streets to deliver them to homeless individuals.
Not surprisingly, his goal was to challenge stereotypes about Muslims, a well as spread a bit of Christmas cheer at the same time.
In an email to Take Part, Haroon wrote:
“I think that a lot of people think because Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas that we don’t accept it when people celebrate Christmas. But in reality, my family give chocolates and food to neighbors/friends regardless of their race/religion. It’s just about being one with the community.”
Just because you don’t worship the same God as someone else doesn’t mean you can’t peacefully co-exist. Once humanity recognizes this truth, the world will shift in profound ways.
