Valentine's Day (In The Light Of Quran And Hadith)

What do religious scholars and muftis say about the issue of how Muslims should celebrate Valentine's Day, which is now becoming popular? On this day, non-Mahram boys and girls exchange gifts of love (red flowers, valentine cards, etc.), make vows of love and promise to maintain this relationship, and swear an oath. Celebrating is beautiful? Does Islam allow him to celebrate such festivals? If not, what should Muslims do in such festivals? 

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم 
اَلْجَوَاب بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّاب اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَ الصَّوَاب 

Since man is by nature hasty and innovative, if he does not understand the rules of the Shari'ah with his intellect and does not live within its scope, these two habits continue to afflict him step by step and he does not even realize what he has done. And he is trapped in a whirlpool of evil in such a way that it becomes extremely difficult for him to get out of it. Then there is a natural habit of living together, so it is necessary for him to be with others. And since there are infidels besides Muslims in the world and there are a large number of them and there are both good and disobedient Muslims, there are more reasons for it to deteriorate in social life and less to improve it. And in the current era of globalization, when the goals of the big media companies are to spread evil, immorality, immorality, and to disturb the peace of the people by showing off their lusts and lusts, and to keep them excited. Is one of the major goals of the United States and it has been achieved in a systematic way. The work of broadcasting is going on very fast From the disbelievers The new disobedience of disobedience spreads all over the world in minutes and seconds, so the destructive effects in the society are becoming more visible and these things are not hidden from anyone.

Then there are the two types of people who suffer from vices and moral evils: (1) those who are financially comfortable, luxurious, luxurious, luxurious, luxurious. (2) Those who are mentally weak and irrational.

People who are weak in terms of intellect are more prone to moral evils because they do not know the truth about their good and bad deeds. Therefore, the intellectually superior class is affected by it when it spreads its message loudly among them. Because there are more people who invite evil, evil spreads very quickly among the people, and even though the saviors are very wise believers, because they are few, the number of those who avoid evil is small.

The Supreme Caliph, Hazrat Allama Syed Sulaiman Ashraf (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in one place in his book “Al-Noor”:

"It is a fact that the people do not have their own opinion and they do not have a voice. He blows the trumpet of his thought with such a high harmony that the thought of the people is a reflection of his thought and the voice of the people echoes his voice.

Whether the luxuriant class is ruling or not, the main reason for their depravity and immorality is the captivity of worldly pursuits and lusts which take them far away from the path of truth.

The Holy Qur'an states:

وَ مَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِیْنَ حَتّٰى نَبْعَثَ رَسُوْلًا (۱۵) وَ اِذَاۤ اَرَدْنَاۤ اَنْ نُّهْلِكَ قَرْیَةً اَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِیْهَا فَفَسَقُوْا فِیْهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَیْهَا الْقَوْلُ فَدَمَّرْنٰهَا تَدْمِیْرًا 

And We are not going to punish until We send a messenger, and when We desire to destroy a township We send down its decrees on the well-to-do (the rich), then they transgress in it. Destroy and destroy.

It is clear from this blessed verse that one of the reasons for suffering from corruption and disobedience is to rule with great prosperity and grandeur. It turns out well.

Now, on the one hand, this is the state of natural habits, on the other hand, since a Muslim is not an ordinary human being, but rather the true humanity of the disbelievers is crowned on his head, because by the grace of Allah Almighty he is blessed with the wealth of faith. And as a Muslim, his religion and faith are as conservative as necessary with modernity, tolerant in spite of his natural habit of haste, and living with the intellect, living within the limits of the Shari'ah, and associating with people. It also teaches the inevitability of living, avoiding evils and not being affected, so it is important to live with religious restrictions.

Conservative to the extent necessary is that our belief in God is that He is ancient, that is, He has always been, and will always be, and that our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, from the world Even though it was more than fourteen hundred years ago, the word of the Lord was revealed to them in this beloved time and you had given its understanding and interpretation in the form of your hadiths to the ummah in your outward life. So when all this is also old So it is necessary for a Muslim to be a conservative in this sense, otherwise when will he remain a Muslim? It is necessary for a person who is an imitator of any of the four Imams to accept the words of his Imam and follow them in order to be a true Muslim, and all these things have been proven and fixed centuries ago, not today. Failure to do so and rejecting it ranges from immorality to disbelief and misguidance. Therefore, a Muslim living in the modern world is also conservative in terms of his faith and the necessary religious rules, and it should be so. Is the soul for the religious life of the purpose of God Almighty and His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is unparalleled. Therefore, the basic difference between a Muslim and a kaafir is that a Muslim is a believer and is bound by the rules of Shari'ah. Kaafir is deprived of both and his parents are free.

But sadly, many of the Muslims who recite the Kalima, despite accepting to live in the realm of religion, fall prey to the degradation of the environment and the liberties of the infidels. Even in adopting the methods of expression, such Muslims make mistakes and commit sins in violation of the Shari'ah. The main reason is not to understand the natural weaknesses from the Islamic point of view and to avoid these weaknesses, Islamic morals and etiquette beliefs and One has to stay away from deeds.

Therefore, they cannot escape the effects of innovation, haste, ignorance, unnecessary interaction and bad company, or they like to be happy and do not want to escape. They are so intrigued by the worldly material advances of non-Muslims that they like everything they see, they buy things by looking at the stamps of non-Muslim countries, in the hotels of their culture. They like to eat, go to parties, their home and the whole family, their whole dress and their character and speech, they keep trying to make themselves a member of the same culture, if they succeed to some extent, they Happiness does not last long, which is why when something new comes from there, no matter how impure it may be, it is difficult for them to get away from it because of joining the culture and to stay away. Even if the thought comes, immediately this fear takes over their hearts and minds, what will the people of our status say then? Don't you know the new festivals of culture and fashion? Come along, otherwise you will not be able to walk with us, you will be left behind. Hearing such things makes their ignorant heart and stubborn and leads them from the path of religion to the path of disobedience.nnFor this reason, the anti-Islamic forces, the nations suffering from infidelity and polytheism, from time to time experiment with the mood and psychology of the majority of Muslims to find out what percentage of them are religiously bound and prefer to be bound and what percentage. There are those who have suffocated their consciences and are restless to respond to every word of theirs, and are completely bound in their grip mentally.nnWhen they see an increase in the number of their obedient and submissive Muslims, they choose people like Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq for their anti-Islamic sentiments, to create dissension and dissension, and to disregard the Muslim Shariah rules. Interpretations are applied with the goal of rejection.nnThis is a very real situation. Not so recently, but since the fall of the Islamic Empire, and even before that, Muslims as a nation have been the victims of such conspiracies and folly.nnPresident of Shariah Mufti Amjad Ali Azmi (may God have mercy on him) pointing out the same deplorable condition of Muslims at one place in his book “Bihar-e-Shariat” Says:

Why should we look at these days when there is no such thing as weeping and wailing over the deplorable condition of Muslims and when their power of action is so strong and the power of action (power to influence others) is so strong? Now that it has disappeared, what hope can there be that these Muslims will ever reach the ladder of progress? They are still slaves and will remain so whenever. وَالَعِيَاذُ بِاللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی ([1])

A few important things to point out in the preface are that there are similar reasons behind the celebration of Valentine's Day, which is full of nonsensical sins, with parents celebrating freedom with color rallies, which is becoming popular among young boys and girls. There are those mentioned above ie natural weaknesses, innovation, haste, captivity of psychic and satanic pleasures, distance from religion, not to be bound by oneself nor to train one's children to make them bound by Islamic morals and etiquette, not at the national level. These are the reasons why the Muslim rulers have started taking strict action against the anti-Islamic customs and festivals in the society. This is the reason why the Muslims have started celebrating this nonsensical day. On the contrary, the ruling class is openly against such anti-Islamic ideologies. Rather than taking steps to prevent open sins, it seems to be at the forefront of promoting and protecting those who spread such evils and giving them the opportunity to act openly, so that each of the causes of these stated evils can be eliminated. The dagger of evil is pressing its way into the hearts of Muslims.
