Ghair Islami Tehwar: Tareekh, Haqaiq, Mashahidat

Ghair Islami Tehwar: Tareekh, Haqaiq, Mashahidat by Muhammad Akhtar Siddique is an Urdu Islamic book published by Darussalam Publishers that critically examines the history, facts, and social observations related to non-Islamic festivals and cultural celebrations being adopted in Muslim societies. The author explores how Western-origin festivals and imported customs, now increasingly visible in Pakistan and other Muslim communities, can clash with Islamic values, identity, and indigenous cultural norms. Through historical background and socio-religious critique, the book highlights why some of these practices do not have roots in Islam or local tradition, and how their uncritical acceptance may pose risks to Islamic cultural identity and ethical conduct.
