Will you be my Valentine?

Salaam

So does anyone take part in valentines day here?

do you send your husband/wife flowers/gift?

Do you think its good for married couples ie excuse to be nice and luvvy duvvy?

or is it all 'kufr' and we should stay away?

wasalaam

HARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

joking! Urgh..when you read the stories behind V day...you get put off..

not that i need to be put off coz..well...euh...whatever...

hmm...

Im too young for this!

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Don't really have an opinion on it when it comes to married couples - It's good because it allows you to show your love blah blah blah but then you should be doing that regularly anyway and don't need to do it on that same day as everyone else?

But hate it when unmarried people go around saying stuff like "I'm alone, no b/f g/f for valentines, Sad Cray 2 " blah blah blah. Can't believe so many Muslims say/think/feel like that.

give them the alternative of "get a room!" with "get a husband/wife!" and make sure you roll your eyes.

Difference of opinion "haraam! kufr tradition!" or "it's good to show love and celebrate and doesn't matter if its a kufr tradition so long as you're not doing anything wrong"

no, its more a difference between soundbites and thinking.

soundbites and thinking?

To be honest if you need a national rip off day to tell your habib/habiba how much they mean to you then there's something wrong with your relationship.

There's nothing to stop you from seeing it as Valentine's Day; just see it as any day (amongst others) to be extra sweet.

Yeah the story behind it was that a priest (Valentine) was marrying people against the wishes of the Roman Emperor (who was more interested in an army). He was caught and executed on February the 14th; and a few billion people celebrate this by giving cards, flowers and what-nots to each other.

No, I do like you but it isn't going to be like that.

people have made mosques, flowers, bunnies (? dont ask...) etc... crazy stuff...

Among Shia muslim boys in university and colleges valetine is time for muta. its begins on 13th and ends on 15th. its not allowed for sunnis to do it.
sunni boys miss out on joys of valentine.

Ayatollah rightly named America as "Great Satan".

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Celebrating Valentines Is What The NON-Muslim s Do, Shaitaan(Devil) is Present Between The Intimate Two, So Remember O'Dear Muslim IT'S Haram For You.

Forget Valentine's day! It's all about Eid Milad Un Nabi on Monday! (after maghrib)

in islam we are told to not immitate the kuffars way of life, valentines day is something the christians adopted from the romans. there are alot views as to how it started but at the end of the day its not something muslims should care for as we should show our love to the people we love everyday Smile

For married people, plenty.

For everyone else on this occasion, its not for them.

There are specifics to this though.

When Islam is adopted by a community, they only have to get rid of acts that are counter to islam, and the rest will remain and become Islamic culture.

There is nothing wrong IMO for two young married Muslims from celebrating their marriage and the blessings they have recieved. It is something to be celebrated and if such an occasion gives people a kick to be more appreciative, then so be it.
