Birthday (16th of May)

i really didnt expect any gifts for my birthday (since i get married that means for the past 4 years).my husband's only reason not to get me any present bcoz that we r muslims and can not celebrate birthdays :-/ well,eventhough that's true,but i'm really not sure what is the real explaination for this kind of celebration.this is including valentine's day,since this is other religion's practice.so if we do celebrate that clearly shows that we r following their path.in quran,the celebration that we should celebrate (as far as i'm concern) is eidul fitr and eidul adha.there's no such birthday or valentine's day stated in al-quranul karim....

well,this must be hard to accept for most of the muslims,but its the truth.there's no birthday or death day in our religion(as 1 of my relative said).but still got some research to be done regarding this matter since some people said if we celebrate just to make other's happy and didnt follow the other religion's way of celebration,its fine.but,i dont know....

but,for my biggest surprise,my husband get me a box of chocs and a bouquet on my birthday:-) its a very,very BIG surprise for me.never expected this and never ever imagined that he'll get those presents for me....he told me that since i've been always asking for a bouquet,he simply get it for me,nothng to do with the birthday.sooooo sweet huh :-D i'll always be loving u darling,no matter what happens.i promise!!

anyway,the question is still open.can or can not we celebrate the birthdays??and what is the exact explaination????a big question mark on this....
