[tab:About] On the occasion of the birth of Jesus, in addition to the "Merry Christmas" quote (http://www.v-arabic.com/aas/quote-00-merry-christmas/), the following quote, taken from the Qur'an, reflects what Jesus (peace be upon him) said about himself and his birth when his mother Mary pointed to the babe and her people said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" [tab:View Quote] (http://www.v-arabic.com/vra/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Quote010-10.jpg) السَّلَامُ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ذَ‌ٰلِكَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ سورة مريم "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)". Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

Arabic Quote #009: Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday in Arabic [tab:Introduction] Following on from my last greeting to you on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha (Quote #005: Wishing You A Blessed Eid (../quote-004-wishing-you-a-blessed-eid/) ), today is the big Christian festival "Christmas" which is being celebrated around the world. For this occasion, I thought I should record a greeting podcast about how Christian Arabs greet one another at Christmas time in Arabic. I have also posted a beautiful Qur'anic quote about the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him). Christian Arabs There are believed to be nearly 14 million Arab Christians in the Arab world and 30-35 million worldwide. The majority of Christian Arabs live in the Middle East where large numbers have settled in Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Australia, Brazil, and the United States. To mention a few well-know Arab Christians: * Edward Said (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Said), (إدوارد وديع سعيد) prominent intellectual and writer (Palestinian) * Gibran Khalil Gibran (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibran_Khalil_Gibran),  (جبران خليل جبران بن ميکائيل بن سعد) prominent poet and writer (Lebanese) * Émile Lahoud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Lahoud), (اميل لحود) President of Lebanon, (Lebanese). * Tony Shalhoub (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Shalhoub), American television and film actor. (Lebanese) * Salma Hayek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salma_Hayek), Mexican-American actress (Lebanese) * George Wassouf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Wassouf), (جورج وسوف) Syrian singer, (Syrian). To all Christians around the world, Arab and non-Arab, peace be with you all. Happy Birthday The first part of the greeting (عيد ميلاد سَعيد) can also be used to wish someone a "happy birthday".
