No. It is Jewish. Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights and Feast of Dedication, and is an eight-day Jewish holiday.

However, it is worth noting that had the Maccabean revolt failed, Judaism might well have faded away in much the same way that the Akkadian religions disappeared under the Seleucid Greek program of Hellenization. If Judaism had not survived past that point, then the Christian Prophet Jesus would not have had the monotheistic tradition to teach to and the Islamic prophet Mohammed would have been unable to learn Scripture from the Peoples of the Book. So, in a way, Muslims can also see Hanukkah as a linchpin and victory for monotheism and Islam's very existence.

However, Muslims believe in the holy book of Torah as God revelation to prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and believe in Jews as "people of the book" as they are holders of Torah.
