Welcome to Gaia! ::

While I agree wholly that we don't need valentines day, I disagree with several things you say.



No, and nobody says it is. (by the way, most people don't sleep with 7 different people each month)


No, and nobody says it is. (Prostitution, by the way, also occurs in Islamic countries and among muslims. It's an age old profession that is everywhere)


Infatuation. It happens to muslims all the same, but that's why we keep our distance.


Islam puts great emphasis on the physical aspect of love, of a couple being intimate together, enjoying each other. It is highly regarded and very important in Islam.



"On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time. Al-Baqara [2:60]

Of course, Islamically we disagree with having girlfriends, boyfriends and dating in general (this, however, does not mean that girlfriends/boyfriends do not love each other, because they do).
And love for Allah is most important above all. However, we should not ignore our worldly place and all its aspects. You almost seem to forget that humans marry, form a lifelong bond, muslims or not, and that they share a deep love for each other. You need a wife/husband to give you love.

Anyone, not just muslims, is capable of this love. The love between a non-muslim couple may be just as deep as the love a muslim couple feel for each other. And anyone is capable of feeling love for Allah.

Of course I vehemently disagree with the things you mention, but very few people would call them love.

I love this lecture ^_^

valentine is the name of father(the christian god?) and he(a male) was married to the king and the prince?
And then he mae suicide?

WAAH THAT IS JUST SO GAY!!!

Christian god was married to the king and the son and then made suicide? That sounds sooo stupid!

ya, but why only love in valentines day? ^_^

hey

well i agree in one way but not another
this day can be special for muslims too, u can give gifts to your wife/ husband to show ur love. This day can be used to show love for family member and even friends, it doesnt have to be the way unbelievers do it, its the day we show respect and love to people we care about. So i dont think its the day of the devil really.

mashallah!! You are so right!!

Valentine's Day is neither a day of lust or the devil, but a day that is an excuse for the big shots of the world to sell meaningless item that say things such as "i love you" or "you are my other half", but there is nothing wrong with this. all the evil in the world such as prostitution and cheating thy spouse happens everyday not only on valentine's day. so it is not up to Muslims as a whole to decide whether this is a day that we cannot celebrate for i have sent valentines to all my friends, some teacher, my parents, siblings, and family in order to say thank you and i care about you deeply. Valentine's Day is a day to express the other side of you that people sometimes miss. a side that says i am happy to be with you on this earth and I thank Allah (swt) that we are all together.
