Islam Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." Holy Qur'an 16:125 |

Valentine day and its status in islam
The Festival of Love was one of the festivals of the pagan Romans, when paganism was the prevalent religion of the Romans more than seventeen centuries ago. In the pagan Roman concept, it was an expression of “spiritual love”.Indeed, Islam is the religion of altruism, true love, and cooperation on that which is good and righteous. We implore Allah Almighty to gather us together under the umbrella of His All-encompassing Mercy, and to unite us together as one man. Allah Almighty says: (The believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply ye may obtain mercy.) (Al-Hujurat 49: 10) Focusing more on the question in point, I can say that there are forms of expressing love that are religiously acceptable, while there are others that are not religiously acceptable. Among the forms of love that are religiously acceptable are those that include the love for Prophets and Messengers. It stands to reason that the love for Allah, and His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) should have the top priority over all other forms of love. Islam does recognize happy occasions that bring people closer to one another, and add spice to their lives. However, Islam goes against blindly imitating the West regarding a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day. Hence, commemorating that special day known as the Valentine’s Day is an innovation or bid`ah that has no religious backing. Every innovation of that kind is rejected, as far as Islam is concerned. Islam requires all Muslims to love one another all over the whole year, and reducing the whole year to a single day is totally rejected. Hence, we Muslims ought not to follow in the footsteps of such innovations and superstitions that are common in what is known as the Valentine’s Day. No doubt that there are many irreligious practices that occur on that day, and those practices are capable of dissuading people from the true meanings of love and altruism to the extent that the celebration is reduced to a moral decline. http://beplustive.wordpress.com/2011...atus-in-islam/ |

Mujhe commixing of genders ke muamle main jo ulema kee baaten hain in main thori confusion hai. Main ulema kee baatoon ko sirey se reject nahin karta, magar roohani tor pe kaha jaata hai ke kis insaan ko duniya main aana hai, woh kahan paida hoga, us ke parents kon honge, kon kon se couples duniya main banen ge waghera yeh sab cheezen Allah (SWT) ne pehle se te kee hui hain. Jab ke dunyavi tor pe yeh muamlat jis tarah se ho sakte hain us muamle main ulema kaa nazariya behad sakht hai aur woh yahan tak kehte hain ke "jins-e-mukhalif" ko aik nazar parne ke baad doosri baar dekhna tak haram aur "daira-e-islam" se ikhraj ke nazdeek gunah hai . Ab agar dekhna tak gunah hai to yeh sab jo Allah (SAW) ne pehle se te kiya hua hai woh kis tarah khush asloobi se mumkin ho sake gaa?? Koi specific examples to is silsile main dee jaa sakti hain ke kuch Allah ne nek bandoon ne is tarah se yeh muamlat niptae waghera, magar aisi cheez ko poori society ke liye kis tarah se workable banaya jaa sakta hai??
I know this is not the rite place to initiate such things, but still, I would like to see how member of this forum opine about it .

I think there is no harm in attributing a single day for "love" if observed with in certain limits, traditions and norms.Opposition only on the grounds that its a western idea ,in my opinion, amounts to myopism. Certain quarters, especailly the low lieterate mullahas and religious organisations oppose any thing new introduced in our social life.They have distorted the very essence of the great religion, islam.If we follow their understanding of Islam, then our females should veil their faces, TV etc should be prohibited, coeducation has no compatibility with islam and so on.....i read somewhere that when initialy loud speaker was introduced in Sub continent , many Mullahs said that saying azan on this device is "KUFR,Biddat etc.
We have restricted islam to appearances, dogmas, rituals etc and have forgotten the very basic thing ,the conscious.Islam is something that make you feel inside.It is religion of love and peace.In subcontinent , the sainst and soofis advocated love and peace not only co religious but for the entire humanity.This was the reasons that millions of people entered in Islam.

This day is celebrated by those who are victim of xenocentrism, who want to be more western than the west itself because they feel ashamed of their own culture. These kind of people have an inferiority complex about their culture and feel easy while intimating others ignoring catastrophies of this act of them. Our religion and our traditions does not allow us to behave like the way people behave on accasions like this so these kind of festivals should be discouraged collectively.

KUFR means Not to admit the oneness of Allah...whereas Bida'at means make something a part of religion which is in real not... and if u read this in forum i too read that where this was quoted for explaining resistance to change... Quote:
May be we succeed in making ourself Modernize and civilized in this world but on the day of judgement we will find ourself standing (like in Stone age) having nothing in our Hands.... MAY ALLAH GIVES US BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ISLAM

@ saleeqa and ALL
there is no concept of valentine day in islam at all....anybody that justifies it or tries to justify is totally wrong from all aspects of islam...that is not da day of love..it is simply a day to spread vulgarity in society and every body knows the outcome of this day...Only vulgarity spreads nothing else..the money we spend on flowers and gifts,we can better use it for poor patients,poor people and for handicapped people...
the sainst and soofis advocated love and peace not only co religious but for the entire humanity BUT THEY DID NOT SPREAD VULGARITY AND DID NOT INTRODUCE ANYTHING THAT CAUSED VULGARITY. khair i know some people will not agree... may Allah bless us... |
