another Valentine's Day. Muslim Brothers and
Sisters let us ask ourselves these important
questions: 1. What is the genesis of
Valentine's Day celebration? 2. What is the
import or purpose of the celebration? 3.
What is the Islamic perspective and scholarly
opinion on Valentine's Day celebration? A
critical research on the genesis of Valentine's
Day Celebration would afford us the
opportunity of knowing why Muslims should
not celebrate it in whatever form. This so
called festival does not have any bearing or
connection in Islam and its genesis is pagan
in nature. It is clear that the Prophet,
sollaLohu'alaihi wasallam did not bequeath
this practice to us. The Quran say:"Whatever
the Prophet prescribes for you, take it, and
whatever he forbids you from, abstain from
it..."In another verse, Allah says:"Say (O
Muhammad, to your followers) if you believe
in Allah, follow me..."The above verses show
that we must be obedient to the Prophet,
sollaLohu'alaihi wasllam. We cannot know
what Allah, subhanahu wata'aala and His
Messenger, sollaLohu'alaihi wasallam wants
except we learn it or ask the pious scholars
of the Deen. Many Muslim Brothers and
Sisters have already dipped themselves into
this mess over the years, and may not be
able to leave it easily. Hear what Allah says:"It
is not fitting for a believer, man or woman,
when Allah has made a decree, that he or
she should create an option. Whosoever
disobeys Allah and His Messenger, is in plain
error"This Quranic verse shows that we
have no option than to abide by Allah's
dictates. My Sister, my Brother, you might not
know before now that Valentine's Day
celebration is a form of"shirk"and hence
haram. Now, you have known. It is left to you
to amend. Do not take any gift in respect of
it, do not give gift with the intention of
celebrating it. May Allah count us among
those that listen to beneficial advice and
abide by them accordingly. Stop thinking
ignorantly that the practice of Islam is boring
or unlively. It depends on your level of Islamic
orientation. There are many ways we can
enjoy ourselves without breaking the rules
of the shariah. Make Islam easy for yourself
by learning and following its basic rules and
regulations. If Al-jannah is what we want, we
must strive to get it. May Allah protect us
against the punishment of hell-fire. Apart
from the fact that celebrating Valentine's Day
has pagan origin, it promotes promiscuous
and illicit intimate relationship in our society.
Especially our Sisters, they always make sure
they get at least one"maga"as they do call
them, before February 14th, to mark the
unspiritual festival with them. Islam totally
frowns against this. Instead of doing
anything special on 14th February of every
year, why not chose another day to have fun
with your legal lover, and stop spreading
mischief on the land. Love between husband
and wife or other manner of persons is not
meant to be celebrated yearly. The Prophet,
sollaLohu'alaihi wasallam enjoins it at all
time. With this, I might have offended some
people, most especially ladies. But it is better
to offend human beings than to offend Allah.
The message here is clear, let us practice our
religion in the best manner it should be
practiced.
