Jesus Christ said:
[Matthew 15:3] "Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
[Matthew 15:13] "Every plant, which my heavenly more...Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
[Matthew 15:16] "Are ye also yet without understanding?"
[Matthew 15:19] "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."
[Mark 7:6] "Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people HONOURETH me with their LIPS, but their HEART is FAR from ME. 7 Howbeit in VAIN do they WORSHIP ME, teaching for DOCTRINES the commandments of MEN. 8 For LAYING aside the COMMANDMENT of GOD, ye hold the TRADITION of MEN, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do." 9 And he (Jesus Christ) said unto them, "Full well YE REJECT the commandment of GOD, that YE may KEEP YOUR OWN TRADITION. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso CURSETH father or mother, let him DIE the DEATH:"
Jesus Christ said:
[Mark 7:18]
"Are ye so WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING ALSO ? Do ye NOT PERCEIVE, that WHATSOEVER thing from without entereth INTO the MAN, it can NOT defile HIM; 19 Because it entereth NOT into his HEART, BUT into the BELLY, and goeth out into the DRAUGHT, purging all meats? 20 And he said, That which COMETH OUT of the MAN, that DEFILETH the MAN. 21 For from within, OUT of the HEART of MEN, PROCEED EVIL THOUGHTS, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, MURDERS, 22 THEFTS, COVETOUSNESS, WICKEDNESS, DECIET, LASCIVIOUSNESS, an EVIL EYE, BLASPHEMY, PRIDE, FOOLISHNESS: 23 All these EVIL things COME from within, and defile the MAN."

In the Student Union Center at the University of Miami, Abdullah Hakim Quick delivers another enlightening and unforgettable talk about the true origins of the major holidays celebrated in the West. With many non-Muslim students in attendance, Sheihk Quick explains that throughout time there has been a constant struggle between those who believe in one God and those who believe in many gods. And these struggles resulted in many compromises on the part of those who would ultimately influence and shape many modern day religious ceremonies and celebrations. And what comes to us today are rituals not condoned by the prophets and messengers of God, but rather mixed-up beliefs and practices that can be attributed to ancient pagan culture. The major celebrations analyzed in this talk are: Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Halloween.
Other topics discussed: Muslim holidays, Thanksgiving, Kwanza, the Sabbath, dealing with holidays in the school curriculum and pork being served at the cafeteria, celebrating birthdays, the origins of the hajj, and having non-Muslims as friends.
