Q: Someone gifted me a Christmas advent calendar. Is it permissible for me to eat the chocolate from it?

A: No — you should not consume it, and it should be disposed of. Even though it may seem like “just chocolate,” the advent calendar is a religious symbol connected to Christmas, which commemorates beliefs that contradict the core of our ʿaqīdah. A Muslim should preserve their principles of Wala’ and Bara’ and not participate in, support, or normalise practices that support Shirk and are rooted in other religious celebrations.

If someone gave you poisoned fruit, you would not eat it — not because fruit is ḥarām, but because its context makes it harmful. Chocolate itself is ḥalāl, but once it is tied to a religious tradition built on shirk, it is no longer just chocolate — it becomes a symbol of that false belief. A Muslim is obligated to stay far away from anything connected to shirk. Islam is about prevention. The Prophet ﷺ taught us not only to stay far from Shirk but also anything that mixes truth with falsehood or blurs the boundaries of our dīn.

Allah said:

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ
“And they are those who do not participate in falsehood.”
— Sūrat al-Furqān, 72

Allah said:

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَنَبُوا۟ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ أَن يَعْبُدُوهَا وَأَنَابُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ
“And those who avoid false gods and turn back to Allah — for them is good news.”
— Sūrat al-Zumar, 17

Islam is the religion of truth, through which honour is given. It is a clear and pure path.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
• “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”
— Abū Dāwūd

May Allah keep our hearts firm upon the truth.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ
“Our Lord, do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Yourself. Truly, You are the Bestower.”
— Sūrat al-ʿImrān, 8

— Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله

Do not forget them in your duas.

O Allah, grant victory to the oppressed Muslims wherever they are.
O Allah, relieve their distress, ease their hardships, lift oppression from them, and grant them a way out of every difficulty and relief from every worry.

Fatir 35:34

وَقَالُواْ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَذۡهَبَ عَنَّا ٱلۡحَزَنَۖ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٞ شَكُورٌ


And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Lord is indeed OftForgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (good deeds and to recompense).

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:

“And the miskeen, the true miskeen, is the one who wasted his life learning what he does not practice, thus he looses the pleasures of the dunya and the goodness of the akhirah. In addition to coming forth bankrupt on the Day of Judgment with strong evidences against himself.”

[Sayd al-Khatir, p. 138]

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is! If you do not commit sins, Allah would replace you with a people who would commit sins and seek forgiveness from Allah; and Allah will certainly forgive them."

[Muslim].
