| It’s that time of the year
again where an annual
ritual takes the world by
frenzy, and sweeps along
the Muslims with it. Now it’s
the turn of Valentine’s Day. It shouldn’t take too much
to work out that
Valentine’s Day has
nothing to do with Islam,
thereby it should also have
nothing to do with Muslims. However, many a Muslim
will be taking part in this
festivity, which is steeped
in illicit relationships,
promotes such things and
devalues the honour of men, women and families.
You may think, that’s a
very strong thing to say
about something as
harmless as remembering
to be loving to your wife and making the day special
for her. But if Muslims
engage in festivities that
are not Islamic in nature or
origin, then this is a grave
thing, as revealed in the Qur’an: “And whoever seeks a
religion other than
Islam, it will never be
accepted of him, and in
the Hereafter he will be
one of the losers ” [Surah Aal ‘Imraan, 3:85] |

| The Prophet (peace be
upon him) warned us of
our following the ways of
the Jews and Christians and
those who came before us:
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him),
narrated that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) said:
“You will certainly follow
the ways of those who
came before you, span by
span, cubit by cubit, until
even if they were to enter
a lizard’s hole, you would follow them.” We said, “O
Messenger of Allaah, (do
you mean) the Jews and
Christians?” He said, “Who
else?! [Sahih Bukhari] |

| MUSLIMS, DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM VALENTINE’S DAY
From the above, we can see
many religious reasons
why taking part in
Valentine’s Day is at odds
with Islam. The Day itself
has roots in paganism and we have been instructed to
not follow the rituals and
ways of the Jews and the
Christians. Remember, we
are Muslims
and we distinguish ourselves as being Muslims
and following Islam. There
is no need to follow the
tradition of another
religion or pagan ritual,
especially if we have been Commanded by Allah and
His Messenger (peace be
upon him) not to. Allah Has
Prescribed for us the
festivities we should follow
and there is no need to add to this by following
something else. Muslims are
not Christians,
pagans, jews, buddhists,
hindus, sikhs, atheists or
belonging to any other religion or way of life.
Muslims are Muslims and
follow Islam. By celebrating
Valentine’s Day, you are
actually following
something else. And this undermines the strength of
the Ummah. This is one of
the reasons why the
Ummah is weak – we do
not adhere to Islam and
only Islam. |

| There is nothing wrong with saying that you are a Muslim and so do not celebrate Valentine’s Day. |
