Diwali is the hindu festival of light (although many sikhs also celebrate it). Diwali is about lighting lamps in order to make the goddess lakshmi feel welcome. Here is one of the major problems that Muslims need to be aware of. This celebration is about a ritual for a goddess yet as Muslims we believe in only One God, the Truth, the All-Mighty, the Self- Sufficient, the One Who Has no partner! My fellow Muslims, if you celebrate diwali or even greet a person with ‘happy diwali’, do you think that this will Please Allah? The answer is most definitely not. Allah Does Not Have any partners. The biggest sin in Islam is SHIRK and diwali is SHIRK . Supporting diwali by celebrating it or saying ‘happy diwali’ is haraam. The second day of diwali is about lord krishna and his wife satyabhama vanquishing the demon naraka. Does this sound Islamic in any way to you? Is this something you want to support? Or is it better that you try to educate these hindus of the errors of their ways and bring them to Islam? The third day of diwali marks the worship of the goddess lakhsmi. Again, this is quite obviously shirk. But Muslims be aware that anything that leads to shirk, is also shirk. So do not partake in these celebrations. The third day also involves the story of lord vishnu, which I don’t feel necessary to go into here as it does not add anything useful that Muslims can learn. Saying ‘happy diwali’ is like saying, ‘congratulations on following hinduism, have a good time’. Surely this is not what a sincere Muslim wants for the non-Muslims. A sincere Muslim would want to save the non- Muslims from their errors and bring them to Islam.
