Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

Without doubt, 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. The kuffaar still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely.

Secondly:

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, 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. ( 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)


Say no to Valentine!

May Allah grant us beneficial understanding (Ameen).

The beauty of Islam is that believers of the religion follow strictly the divinely revealed rules and instructions of Allah unlike you Christians who follow only conjectures and embrace whatever that comes from the West due to absence of clear injunctions in your interpolated scriptures.
Islamic civilization will continue to clash with the Western civilization and conscious Muslims will continue to draw a line to avoid incurring the wrath of the creator of the earth and what it contains.

You are always quick to mention criminal elements perpetrating violence in the name of religion on important Islamic discourse as if the Sharia sanctions their heinous activities. That is hypocritical and mischievous.
Tell me about the Lords resistance Army who have killed maimed and raped innocent civilians in Uganda since 1988 in the name of Christianity. Does it mean your interpolated scriptures sanction the devilish acts?
You are so mischievous.

be deceiving yourself, u people are stucked in d 14th century n all u think about is sex n violence. look at those troubled countries in the world, it is one Muslim group or d other that is giving them problem. al-quaeda, Isis, Boko Haram just to mention a few. just imagine killing your fellow human being because u are expecting 79 virgins somewhere. God bless my dad for making us quit that useless religion. religion of war who never believe in evangelism but killing

And as daft as you are, you are not aware that the so called terrorist groups you mentioned are creations of the US and its allies after their invasions of those once peaceful nations.
Is it a coincidence that Iraq, Libya and other Middle East countries invaded by the US and its European allies have been ravaged by crises? Where they not leaving peacefully before the invasions?
You are free to abandon your faith. Iam very sure your poor Dad was ignorant of Islamic knowledge and as such he like every other Muslim who would always claim to have seen light due to lack of understanding of Islam abandoned The religion of Allah. It's your right to do so. But I'm convinced that unless you retrace your steps and seek forgiveness from Allah, only death separates you from the torment of hell fire.

Lord lugard was an idiot for amalgamation a primitive people of different culture and history together. the whole world can see today it was a poor oversight decision as it didn't work and will never ever work.

his judgment was very poor and history will never forgive him.

And what about the evil acts of Mohammed the son of Allah sir?

Won't you remind us of that, killing the wealthy ones to take their wealth and wives, ...

The problem most Nigerian Christians hv is that they dnt read abt other religion. Yet they r quick to rush and start commenting over what they hv no idea of. It's ur duty to read abt Islam, Hinduism, buhdaism so that u can at least hv little knowledge abt they believe system. There r 3 festivals in Islam. 1. Eid fitr ie the eid we do after fasting. 2. The eid we do after hajj, eid adha. 3.. jummah. Valentine is not one of them. And u r nt allowed to celebrate wat the religion has not proscribed.

here we go again wetin no concern una una chuk nose smell
