What is Valentine?

Valentine’s Day is a jaahili Roman festival, which continued to be celebrated until 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. Some non-Muslims (including some Muslims) still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely. Ina Lilah was ina ilae rojiun!

Listen, as a Muslim reading this, it is not permissible for a Muslim to celebrate any of the festivals of the kuffaar, because festivals come under the heading of shar’i issues which are to be based on the sound texts.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Festivals are part of sharee’ah, clear way and rituals of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way”

[Al-Quran al-Maa’idah 5:48]

In essence, Muslims 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. ( Majmoo al-Fataawa (25/329). )


Also, many scholars have issued fatawah stating that it is haraam to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Among them is our noble Sheikh:

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) who was asked:

In recent times the celebration of Valentine’s Day has become widespread, especially among female students. It is a Christian festival where people dress completely in red, including clothes and shoes, and they exchange red flowers. We hope that you can explain the ruling on celebrating this festival, and what your advice is to Muslims with regard to such matters; may Allaah bless you and take care of you.

He replied:

Celebrating Valentine’s Day is not permissible for a number of reasons.

1- It is an innovated festival for which there is no basis in Islam.

2- It promotes love and infatuation.

3- It calls for hearts to be preoccupied with foolish matters that are contrary to the way of the righteous salaf (may Allaah be pleased with them).

It is not permissible on this day to do any of the things that are characteristic of this festival, whether that has to do with food, drinks, clothing, exchanging gifts or anything else.

The Muslim should be proud of his religion and should not be a weak character who follows every Tom, Dick and Harry. I ask Allaah to protect the Muslims from all temptations, visible and invisible, and to protect us and guide us.

End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (16/199)

May Allah grant us beneficial understanding (Ameen).

Since you people don't want to celebrate love, would you rather celebrate suicide bombing?

RightChannel:
Everything about muhammad and allah is hatred, so therefore celebrating Val is like bringing fire on muhammad in grave

Sometimes, you just need to catch a whiff of it.

Mothers are mothers everyday but there is such a day as 'Mother's Day'...

Always look for the love, laughter and ANY opportunity to be in a celebrative mood and you would be a better person/Muslim. It will dissipate negative energy that comes with the dissociative tendencies in most religions. These actually cuts you off from God. This explains why most 'pious' people are unkind and unhappy. They cut the flow of vital life force by being restrictive thinking that is pleasing to some deity.

I am an ECKist but celebrate Christmas, Salah, I would be attending a Muslim friend's naming ceremony later in the day. You just need to see the bigger picture, just stretch your neck a little to ask why are these laws made and how would they affect me?

No ceremony, celebration, association, religious declaration not made from the heart CAN change your religion or ideologies and most importantly the unconditional love of God to you as Soul.

SmartPolician:

Love is not meant to be celebrated on a specific day, it is an Everytime something in Islam..

All these headslammers with mark of the beast.
Them no go celebrate valentine but their allah and prophet are nymphomaniacs and paedophiles.

Shame on the religion of piss.

Also, many scholars have issued fatawah stating that it is haraam to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Among them is our noble Sheikh:



Small thing na to order to kill anyone who is tired of their hypocrisy.

Masha Allah OP...May Allah SWT forgive me for I did not know...

Nothing bad in celebrating EU culture but we should be pushing to celebrate zazoo zen culture worldwide

You are right

luthorcorp:
The worst thing tbat can happen to u is having a Muslim neighbor. Those ppl are hatred themselves

Not true at all, unless your neighbor is a wicked person in general but having a Muslim neighbor is one of the best moment you can imagine...Ask alot of people and see... Sensible people.

All these Christians here that are spewing thrash about Islam are the worst of all people...And later now they will be trying to justify their religion...Is this what you are taught in the church?!

Actually this statement is just to sound fantastic..."you love your families everyday"

The people celebrating Valentine, are they hating each other everyday only to take a break on Valentine's day?
