*Imitating The Other Nations*
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
*"You will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, span by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so much so that even if they entered a hole of a mastigure, you would follow them." We said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (Do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?" He said, "Whom else?"*
📚 [Sahih Bukhari 7320]
⁉️ When we read this Hadith we must examine ourselves that on what occasions do we imitate the non muslims and polytheists, either it's wishing the new year or celebrating it, celebrating the Birthday, Mother's or Father's day, Valentine's day, and even at the marriage ceremonies and other occasions, imitation and following the foot steps of disbelievers, or correspondence to them in dressing and so on. The muslims who are following the foot steps of these non muslims, this hadith of Prophet (ﷺ) is enough for them:
*«مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ»*
*“He who copies any people is one of them.”*
📚 [Sunan Abi Dawud 4031| Hasan Sahih]
