I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY

It is not that Islam doesn't believe in love so Muslims don't celebrate Valentines Day and the likes. Rather, the concept of love is SO STRONG in Islam that it refuses to acknowledge anything that downgrades and cheapens this wonderful emotion.

The concept of love is SO WISE in Islam that it protects the dignity, honor and rights of both the man and the woman, and doesn't let one run away after 'having their bit of fun.'

The concept of love is SO SACRED in Islam that even feeding your wife a morsel of food is a rewarded, blessed deed. That being good to your husband can be a doorway to Paradise!

The concept of love is SO PRACTICAL in Islam that it is not dependant on gimmicks and commercial promotion. Rather, it is lived through honesty, gentleness and affection each day of the year, each moment of life.

Actually the concept of love is SO AMAZING in Islam that it doesn't end with this Dunya, rather it binds the hearts that love each other in His Obedience in this life and beyond! A story that perseveres in Dunya and then will enjoy permanent bliss in the hereafter.

And how shall it not be, when Islam is itself from AL-WADOOD, the Most Loving, the Source of all love, the Bestower of this wonderful gift!

There is no faith that advocates love more justly, more deeply than Islam. It celebrates it... wholly and eternally, and doesn't need the world to say when exactly and how exactly it should be expressed!

Where do you take your definition of LOVE from?

I AM A MUSLIM AND I SAY NO TO VALENTINE'S DAY

I AM A MUSLIM AND I SAY NO TO VALENTINE'S DAY

WHY MUSLIMS DON'T CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY?

1- In Islam, the festivals are clearly defined and well established, and no additions or subtractions may be accepted.

2- Celebrating valentine's day means resembling or imitating people of other religion.

3- The love referred to in this festival ever since the Christians revived it is romantic love outside the framework of marriage. The result of that is the spread of fornication and immorality.

So, how can we believe that valentine's day is of any benefit to Muslims? The truth is that it is a call for more permissiveness and immorality, and the forming of forbidden relationships.

The husband who sincerely loves his wife does not need this holiday to remind him of his love. He expresses his love for his wife at all times and on all occasions.

ISLAMIC POINT OF VIEW ON CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S DAY

ISLAMIC POINT OF VIEW ON CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine's day is celebrated on 14 February. it is called the day of Love and many Girls and boys propose each other on this day. if we see from Islamic point of view it is completely Haram to Celebrate valentine's day. Islam don,t gives us permission of doing such works its against Islamic as well as Eastern culture. People who propose others sisters on this day i have a simple question to them will you like if someone also propose your sister on this day?

Allah Swt says in the Holy Quran to men "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modest". Allah Swt says to women in Holy Quran "And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments". According to Holy Quran and Hadiths of Rasool Allah Swt such works like valentine's day are totally Haram.

Valentine's day also encourages Non Mahram man and women to meet each other that is against Islamic guidelines. its also the copy of unislamic culture. Valentine's day also increase vulgarity. The above points are enough to prove that Valentine's day is Unislamic and Haram.

WHY VALENTINE'S DAY CELEBRATION IS PROHIBITED (HARAM) IN ISLAM? 

QUESTION??

Why Valentine's Day celebration is Prohibited (Haraam) in Islam ? ? ?

ANSWER BY ‪#‎DrZakirNaik‬

Valentine’s Day is a jaahili Roman festival, which continued to be celebrated untill after the Romans became Christian. This festival became connected with the saint known as Valentine who was sentenced to death on 14 February 270 CE. The kuffaar still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely.

It is not permissible for a Muslim to celebrate any of the festivals of the kuffaar, because festivals come under the heading of shar’iah issues which are to be based on the sound texts.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Festivals are part of shari’ah, clear way and rituals of which Allah says :
“To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way”
[al-Maa’idah 5:48]

“For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies which they must follow”
[al-Hajj 22:67]

Indeed, festivals are one of the most unique features that distinguish various religions and among their most prominent symbols, so joining in with them is joining in with the most characteristic and prominent symbols of kufr. No doubt joining in with this may lead to complete kufr.

To conclude: the Mulsims should not do any of their rituals at the time of their festivals; rather the day of their festival should be like any other day for the Muslims. The Muslims should not do anything specific in imitation of them. End quote from Majmoo al-Fataawa (25/329).

The clear evidence of the Quran and Sunnah – indicates that there are only two festivals in Islam:
1 .Eid al-Fitr and
2. Eid al-Adha.
Any other festivals that have to do with a person, a group, an event or anything else are innovated festivals, which it is not permissible for Muslims to observe, approve of or express joy on those occasions.
Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Valentine’s Day comes under this heading because it is an idolatrous Christian festival, so it is not permissible for a Muslim who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe it or approve of it or congratulate people on it. Rather he has to ignore it and avoid it, in obedience to Allah.
