By this, it is meant that Muslims are recognised and identified by a >single religious culture or code, which is purely Islamic. > >Valentine's day has its origin and significance in the sacrifices of a >Christian personality. This in itself will quite clearly illustrate to any >Muslim with even an iota of Imaan how repugnant any involvement or >recognition of such a day is and to what extent it goes against the spirit >of Islam. It has always been the Christian and Jewish aim to get Muslims to >forfeit their identity and take to heart un-Islamic practices, as >elaborated in the words of Allah SWT: "The Christians and Jews will never >be happy >with you until you follow their ways." [Al-Baqarah: 120] > >The Islamic viewpoint and reaction to such practices is clearly and >unequivocally outlined in the following Divine verse: "O Believers do not >take as friends the Christians and Jews . he amongst you who will befriend >them is of them (and not of us Muslims)." [Al-Maaidah: 51] > >By joining them in their occasions of celebration, we will fall well within >the purview of the warning contained in the above Aayat. Consider the grave >warning given to us by none other than our Noble Master Rasulullah >Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam: "He who will imitate a nation will be raised >up among them on the Day of Qiyaamat." (Mishkaat) > >About ValentinesDay > >The festival of love, which they celebrate on February 14 each year is an >expression of what they believed in their pagan religion to be divine love. >This festival was invented more than 1700 years ago, at a time when >paganism was still prevalent among the Romans. Whilst their state was still >idolatrous, they executed Saint Valentine, who had converted to >Christianity after having been a pagan. When the Romans converted to >Christianity, they made the day of his execution an occasion to celebrate >the matyrs of love. This festival is still celebrated in America and >Europe, to declare feelings of friendship and to renew the covenant of love >between spouses and lovers. This festival now has great social and economic >significance. > >It seems that another practice stemmed from the concept of this feast, >which is the anniversary celebrated by spouses or friends who love one >another, where the couple celebrate the anniversary of their marriage each >year, to confirm the love between them. This custom has passed to the >Muslims because of their mixing (with the non-Muslims), so that couples >celebrate the night of their marriage in a special way in many Muslim >countries, imitating the kuffar. May Allah SWT keep us steadfast on the >Deen. > >Allah SWT Knows Best ! > > >"You have indeed in Rasoolullah SAW a beautiful pattern of conduct for >anyone whose hope is ALLAH SWT and Al-Akheerah."
