Ghair Islami Tehwar

A critical Islamic examination of non-Islamic festivals and imported cultural celebrations, authored by Muhammad Akhtar Siddique and published by Darussalam.

As Western-origin festivals and foreign customs increasingly penetrate Muslim societies in Pakistan and beyond, this book provides a well-researched, historically grounded response. Drawing on Islamic scholarship and socio-religious analysis, the author investigates the origins of these celebrations and their incompatibility with Islamic values, identity, and Sharī'ah principles.

Key Themes

• Historical Origins — Traces the roots of non-Islamic festivals and how they entered Muslim social life without awareness of their background or implications.
• Islamic Values vs. Western Practices — Examines how widely observed days such as Valentine's Day and other global cultural events conflict with Islamic ethical teachings and cultural heritage.
• Social & Moral Impact — Reflects on the cultural, moral, and religious consequences of adopting practices that have no foundation in Islam, urging preservation of authentic Islamic identity.
