Thread: Valentines

  1. #11
    As long as you don't partake in the religious aspects of these holidays, it's fine to me. We celebrate birthdays, and this is not apart of our culture. Yet, we do it for fun and amusement.
    Get off my back

    Well Religon is not there just to pray in a mosque or n a Temple,cauz God don't need our prayes for this sake he have enough angels.He created world so that we can live according to his rules.Religon is something which have to be lived n not just prayed.

    What do u think of Valentines Day as a Muslim?
    If you just do to for the sake of it, do you see us doing Halloween and Easter as well ?
    Hello,
    Before getting into this topic...i must clear the background and the origin of this eid ul hubb (the valentine's day) celebration.


    The Romans had a festival named Lupercalia and they used to celebrate it on the 15th February every year. On that day they offered sacrifices to their supposed god named "Lurks" to protect their cattle and the like from being killed by wolves. They celebrated this festival during the spring holidays according to their calculations.

    During the thirteenth century the day of this festival was changed to February 14th. There was an incident that led to this change in the day for this celebration. In the thirteenth century a Roman Emperor Claudius II, forbade his soldiers to marry because marriage would involve them in family life and cause them to lose interest in fighting.

    A catholic priest named Valentine revolted against this emperor's order and performed weddings for the soldiers secretly. After a while his disobedience was discovered and he was imprisoned. While in prison he fell in love with the jailer's daughter. On February 14th he was executed. After his death people believed that he had sacrificed himself for the sake of Christianity and to save lovers. Subsequently the church elevated him to Sainthood and February 14th came to be observed as Saint Valentine's Day.


    What do u think of Valentines Day as a Muslim?
    Being a Muslim ...and after been disclosed by the origin of the valentine's day i dont think i will celebrate it ever again...Although i know that Islam is the religion of love which insists on having good relations with all the members of the society...
    "The feasts are Islamic rituals just like facing the Qiblah and fasting. There is no difference in participating in their feasts or in their whole religion because approving their feasts means approving their disbelief since the feasts are the special symbols of religions.'The Prophet did not approve the feast of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islamic period). Anas reported that the Prophet came to Madeenah with two days they played in. The Prophet asked: 'What are these two days?' They said: 'These are two days we used to play in in our Jaahiliyyah'. The Prophet said: 'Allaah has replaced them with two better days: Eid Al-Adh-Haa and Eid Al-Fitr." "

    This is wat i also think..


    If you just do to for the sake of it, do you see us doing Halloween and Easter as well ?

    will not do it ever again hopefully.....
