What is the ruling on celebrating Valentine day in Islam

​Celebrating Valentine's Day is HARAM!

🔸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.

💔It is unfortunate that even Muslims have started celebrating this day without thinking. This is not only a festival of non-Muslims, but if we look at the present day, the evils spread through it testify to why this festival should be rejected.

🚨Here are some Qur'anic verses and hadiths on how we are disobeying Allah and His Messenger by participating in this festival in any way.

🔹There is no doubt that this festival is based on pornography and is spreading obscenity through it.

📖Allah سبحان و تعالیٰ says:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَن تَشِيعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۚ 

Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. [Al Quran 24:19]

📖وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ ۖ

And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. [Al Quran 6:151]

☪Prophet ﷺ said: الْحَيَاءَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ 

Haya' is a part of faith. [Bukhari 24]

🔸Muslims should stick to their religion instead of running after the majority and be content with what Allah has given us in the form of Islam.

📖Allah سبحان و تعالیٰ warned us: 

وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah . They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying. [Al Quran 6:116]

☪The Prophet ﷺ said, You will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, span by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so much so that even if they entered a hole of a mastigure, you would follow them. We said, O Allah's Apostle! (Do you mean) the Jews and the Christians? He said, Whom else? [Bukhari 7320]

🔹When it is clear to us that this is a non-Muslim festival, it is not permissible for anyone to celebrate this day, even if it is a couple! Because

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‌‌‌‏ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ .

☪The Prophet ﷺ said: He who copies any people is one of them. 

[Abu dawood 4031]

🚨Aren't we Muslims? Don't believe in the Hereafter? Do they not remember Allah and fear His wrath?

📖 Allah سبحان و تعالیٰ said:

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا

There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often. 

 ‼️Who are you following?

 Valentine or Allah's Messenger ﷺ
