Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated in many countries around the world, but it is most commonly associated with the United States and Canada. It is a day set aside to give thanks for the blessings of the past year and to gather with family and friends to enjoy a festive meal. However, despite its association with Christianity and the Pilgrims, many believe that the origins of Thanksgiving can be traced back to ancient pagan celebrations. One theory is that Thanksgiving has its roots in the ancient harvest festivals that were celebrated by pagan cultures. These festivals were held to give thanks for the bounty of the harvest and to pray for a good harvest in the coming year. In many cultures, these festivals involved feasting, dancing, and singing, much like the modern-day celebration of Thanksgiving.
In many cultures, these festivals involved feasting, dancing, and singing, much like the modern-day celebration of Thanksgiving. Another theory is that Thanksgiving has its origins in the ancient Roman festival of Cerelia, which was dedicated to the goddess Ceres, the goddess of agriculture and fertility. This festival, which took place in late October or early November, included a ceremonial offering of the first fruits of the harvest and a feast to celebrate the abundance of food.
Thanksgiving a purely pagan celebration
It’s like someone doing massacres in your house then tells you to celebrate to forgive you.
Those who celebrate are really brainwashed
Early Criminals who made oppression and genocides for American ancestors, seized lands and removed people of America from their lands, from their crops…In search of gold. Then they wrote America’s fake history. They named them Red indians
While they were neither red nor Indians but native Americans
Haven’t you seen the mountains of piled up skeletons found when they were digging to build stadiums for Olympic games in the US more than 200 millions were killed
After that Puritan Christians shook hands with you and sat down with you in celebration for what they did for the torment they gave you
I urge you to listen to all of this Friday sermon
It’s so powerful

Thanksgiving has a paganist origin🤔
America didn’t create Thanksgiving, it’s adopted.
Thanksgiving’s origins can be traced back to Greek and Roman harvest celebrations, by strict dictionary definition, this alone makes Thanksgiving a pagan holiday (ie, polytheistic)
The harvest festival was a pagan celebration, the religious thanksgiving was from the Church of England
In the 1800s Sarah Hale marketed the idea of a universal national American thanksgiving holiday that combined the religious thanksgivings with the harvest festival thanksgivings
SO BY CELEBRATING IT YOU MELT IN THE NEW WOLRD UNIVERSAL RELIGION (SYNCRETISM)
The cornucopia is a Greek & Roman religious symbol that can be traced back directly to the time of Jesus and further into the past
Adjustments of a pagan celebration does not make it halal. I.e Removing the pagan elements like “breaking the wish bone”
does not change the pagan origins of any holiday
The pagan harvest celebration called Harvest Home, (also called harvest thanksgiving) which originated in Church of England.
The cornucopia, a common symbol of Thanksgiving, originated from Roman and Greek mythology, from the horn of the Greek god Amalthea.
Thanksgiving Day (as a national celebration) was instituted with the intent, and by design, to be a holy day, not an ambiguously labeled “holiday”. There is no uncertainty about this, as we have primary historical references that prove this intent.
Prophet Muhammad ordered us not to celebrate other nation’s feasts or holi days
This the holy spirit of Thanksgiving Day. …That all may offer up, in one grand melody, that glorious hymn to the Creator, “Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good-will towards men.”
Godey’s Lady’s Book 1872
By the 6th century, the rulership of Rome had spread to England and there, the old Roman festival of Cerelia became known as the Harvest Home Festival and later Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving. The Church of England adopted this festival as a religious gathering but the festival was celebrated by both Christians and non-Christians; just like it is today. Over the next 1000 years, the Church of England went through many political battles with Rome over political and religious issues; causing certain groups within the church to split and travel to the Americas in search of gaining power, wealth and religious freedom there.
This war between the Puritans (and their allies from the Wampanoag tribe) and the so-called Indians became known as the Pequot War, and lasted from 1636-1638. However, the European armies prevailed and many Indians lost their lives in horrific fashion. In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, the Puritan colonist raided the Indian Villages and burned over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe alive. The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, declared “A Day Of Thanksgiving” to be celebrated in honor of killing the native Indians of the land. In his own words, Governor John Winthrop’s proclaimed: “This day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots.”
After their victory over the so-called Indians, the colonist began to attack other villages; seizing their land, capturing strong young Natives for slaves and killing the rest. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered. Boats loaded with as many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England to other places. Following a very successful raid against the Pequot tribe in Stamford, Connecticut, the white churches announced a second day of “Thanksgiving” to give thanks to their God and celebrated victory over whom they called, the heathen savages. During the feasting, they played soccer with the chopped off heads of the natives and kicked them through the streets like soccer balls.
As other English and Dutch colonizers migrated to the US and settled in other Indian tribal territories, they also raided and murdered various indian tribes that were living their regions. These tribes included the: Lenape, Esopus, Tuscarora, Yamasee, Muscogee, Cherokee, Catawba, Apalachee, Apalachicola, Coyaha, Shawnee, Congaree, Waxhaw, Pedee, Cape Fear, Cheraw, Pays d’en haut, Mingo, and many other tribes. Each of the tribes went to war against their colonizers and many of their members were murdered; presumably followed by a thanksgiving feast in honor of the Europeans victory over the natives.
Stop celebrating this holiday feast as it represents the European’s murder of the indigenous people of the American land and it is actually rooted in paganism.
And it is my hope that by you reading this article that you will be challenged to withdraw your participation from this pagan genocidal celebration as well.
🌱Al Imam Addahabi said on this Ayah
(5:51) O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya’ to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya’, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust
♦️Adahabi said that from the ways of taking them (Jews and Christians) is taking part of any level with their festivals and celebrations. Whilst, they would be ordered to hide their own celebrations in non Muslim countries. And no one does that except the weak in his faith and ignorant. Whoever immitates a people in their religion then he is from amongst them
The interpreter Mujahid ( the direct student of Abd Allah Ibn Abbas) said on this Ayah
(25:72) And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity.
Mujahid said that falsehood here are the celebrations and holidays of the kuffar
Islam came strange and has returned strange majority are mostly on falsehood
Imam Dahabi said when taking part in such pagan celebrations you automatically raise your kids to love non Muslims and their traditions and beliefsso what a horrible and ignorant Muslim you are then
That Thanksgiving is a mere thinking Allah
The answer is whomever resembles a people in their religion is one of them
In another narration he will be resurrected with them

While they were neither red nor Indians but native Americans
In addition to these ancient pagan celebrations, there are also links between Thanksgiving and the Native American harvest celebrations that took place long before the arrival of the Pilgrims. Native American tribes throughout North America celebrated the harvest with feasting, dancing, and rituals to give thanks to the spirits for the bounty of the land. The Pilgrims, who were unfamiliar with the land and its resources, likely learned about these harvest celebrations from the Native Americans and incorporated them into their own Thanksgiving celebrations. Despite these pagan origins, Thanksgiving has largely become a secular holiday celebrated by people of all religious backgrounds. It is a time to reflect on the blessings of the past year and to come together with loved ones to express gratitude. Whether it has ancient pagan roots or not, Thanksgiving remains an important holiday for many people and a time to give thanks for the blessings in their lives..
Reviews for "Thanksgiving: A Modern Twist on Ancient Pagan Celebrations"
1. John - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with "Thanksgiving Pagan Origins." The content was poorly researched and seemed more like a conspiracy theory than a factual documentary. The whole premise of the film was to discredit the holiday of Thanksgiving, but it failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. It felt like a waste of time watching this film, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for an informative and well-made documentary.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Thanksgiving Pagan Origins," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While the topic itself is intriguing, the film lacked coherence and clarity in its presentation. The editing was choppy and the narration was often repetitive. Additionally, the arguments made against Thanksgiving's pagan origins seemed weak and unfounded. It felt like the filmmakers were grasping at straws to validate their point, which made the whole documentary lose credibility in my eyes.
3. Lisa - 2 stars
"Thanksgiving Pagan Origins" was a letdown for me. I was hoping to learn something new and gain a deeper understanding of the holiday's history, but instead, I found the documentary to be biased and unconvincing. The film seemed to have an agenda to undermine Thanksgiving, rather than present a balanced view of its origins. The arguments made were mostly speculative and lacked strong evidence. Overall, it was a missed opportunity to explore a fascinating topic with objectivity and thorough research.
