ok i took this info of
Halloween from
here - read the whole article - very interesting
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Halloween is an annual Western celebration based on Celtic and European pagan doctrines and traditionally applied to the evening of October 31st. It is derived from rituals involving dead spirits and devil worship and symbolizes the beginning of the ancient Druid's New Year, who hold that the dead revisit their homes at that time. In essence, Halloween represents the devil
worshipper's New Year. Muslim commemoration of such a day is therefore sinful and
haram; as it involves the most evil elements of polytheism and disbelief. Indeed, participation in Halloween is worse than participation in Christmas, Easter or Good Friday, as those innovated days commemorate the birth and supposed death of a Prophet, whereas Halloween is a commemoration of the worshippers of Satan. Thus, participation in it is more sinful than congratulating the Christians for their prostration to the crucifix.
How therefore is the Muslim to understand this issue in the light of the
shari'ah? Firstly, the Prophet (saw) said in an authentic narration: "Whosoever resembles a people is from them." This is a general statement prohibiting the Muslims from imitation of the
kuffar. Any Muslim, who thereby participates with the non-Muslims in their celebrations, particularly those that involve clear shirk and
kufr- is asking for the wrath of Allah and misguidance to descend upon him like it has descended upon the non-Muslims.
Indeed, the glorious Companions understood this principle and applied its ruling with the fullest extent. For example, Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "One who settles in the lands of the non-Muslims, celebrates their New Year's Days, and behaves like them until he dies, will be raised with them on the Day of Resurrection."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::OK so basically you can see that the belief behind Halloween is no doubt one of the
Kaffir's beliefs - which of course as Muslims we must not follow. if you do this it is basically Shirk and you are celebrating a pagan custom and festival and therefore bye-bye to Islam.
So
dont go in preparation to dress up ladies -- have your own fancy dress party on another night - safely away from October 31st.
