?Indeed, a virus extra lethal than COVID-19 is consuming up the worldwide cloth of humanity & threatening our ethical sanity. It has turn into a pandemic. It glorifies fornication & adultery, promotes indecent & extra-marital affairs, revives paganism, shows animalistic tendencies and so on., all within the title of lust.
? *Human beings are urged & anticipated to condescend decrease than animals & do as they are going to even whether it is obscene*.
?A day we’re anticipated to throw all warning, sanctity & morality to the wind ; all within the title of a pagan competition which glorifies immorality.
?A day we’re are anticipated to get by hook or criminal a bootleg sexual companion; lack of ability to seek out one makes us really feel incomplete for the illicit recreation. *A day virginity is to be misplaced indecently & extramaritally, however with pleasure*. A day stuffed with time losing, music, extravagance, males mixing with girls & different haram within the title of affection, leisure & enjoyable.
? *A day we’re anticipated to overtly, bluntly & formally disobey the creator of the heavens & earth by eradicating our clothes of decency, morality & placing on the garment of obscenity with pleasure. What a day?*
?A day popularly known as “VALENTINE’S DAY”. A day planet earth turns into crimson. All crimson coloured merchandise turn into costlier than any shade & we’re anticipated to undertake a pagan bloody gown code of crimson, change crimson presents e.g. roses, toys and so on. On these playing cards & presents, are footage of “Cupid”, who seems as a baby with two wings, carrying a bow & arrows. This was the god of affection of the pagan Romans. This idea is additional fuelled by capitalist profiteering.
?Statistics point out that Valentine’s Day is second solely to Christmas in reputation. Just like Christmas; it’s also a christianized pagan Roman competition. The Romans imagine that Romulus, the founding father of Rome, was suckled sooner or later by a she-wolf, which gave him power & knowledge. They used to commemorate this occasion in mid-February yearly. One of the rituals of this competition was the sacrifice of a canine & a goat. Two robust & muscular youths would daub the blood of the canine & goat onto their our bodies, then wash the blood away with milk. These youths would whip everybody who crossed their path with a leather-based. Roman girls would welcome these whips, as a result of they believed it might forestall or remedy infertility. The names of women who had reached maturity could be written on small rolls of paper & positioned in a dish. Then, the younger males could be known as to choose a bit of paper. He could be on the sexual service of the lady whose title he had drawn for one yr, in order that they might discover out about each other. They might get married, or they might repeat the identical course of the following competition. Romans embraced Christianity, modified this pagan “Feast of Lovers”, to the “martyrs of love”, represented by Saint Valentine who had advocated love & peace. The Roman emperor Claudius II decreed within the third century CE that troopers shouldn’t get married, as a result of marriage would distract them from the wars they used to struggle. This decree was opposed by Saint Valentine, who began to carry out marriages for the troopers in secret. When the emperor discovered about that, he threw him in jail & executed him on 14 February 270 CE, on the eve of February 15, the competition of Lupercalis.
?It isn’t permissible for a Muslim to have a good time any of the festivals of the kuffaar, as a result of festivals come underneath the heading of shar’i points that are to be based mostly on the sound texts. Indeed, festivals are probably the most distinctive options that distinguish numerous religions. They are a part of the clear means & rituals of which Allaah says:
“For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies which they must follow”[22:67]
— such because the qiblah, prayer & fasting and so on. Joining in absolutely with the competition is becoming a member of in with kufr, and becoming a member of in with a few of its minor points is becoming a member of in with a number of the branches of kufr, disobedience & sin. Anas (radiallahuanihu) stated: When the Messenger (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) got here to Madeenah, they’d two days after they would play. He stated: “What are these two days?” They stated: “We used to play on these days during the Jaahiliyyah.” The Messenger (noticed) stated: “Allaah has given you instead of them two days that are better than them: the day of al-Adha and the day of al-Fitr.” Saheeh Abi Dawood. This signifies that festivals are among the many traits by which nations are distinguished, and it’s not permissible for the Muslims to mimic them in something that’s uniquely part of their festivals e.g. meals, clothes, bathing, lighting fires, refraining from an everyday behavior, doing acts of worship or to present a feast or presents, or to promote something that may assist them to try this, or to permit kids and others to play video games or put on their costumes or the rest.
?The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam); “You would follow the ways of those who came before you step by step, to such an extent that if they were to enter a lizard’s hole, you would enter it too.” They stated, “O Messenger of Allah, (do you mean) the Jews and Christians?” He stated, “Who else?” (Bukhari).
? *A DEADLY VIRUS WORSE THAN COVID- 19. 2 OF 2.*
?Prohibition of imitating the kuffaar is likely one of the fundamental ideas of sharee’ah–whether or not they’re idol-worshippers or People of the Book – is haraam, whether or not that imitation is of their worship – which is essentially the most critical kind – or of their customs & behaviour. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam): *“Whoever imitates a folks is one among them*.
?There is not any faith which inspires its followers to like and look after all creations greater than Islam. Infact, Islam encourages us to specific love always, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) stated: *“If a man loves his brother, let him tell him that he loves him.”* (Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, saheeh).And he stated: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you truly believe, and you will not truly believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something that, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread (the greeting of) salaam amongst yourselves.” (Muslim).
?Love in Islam is extra common & extra complete; it’s not restricted to like between a person & a lady. There is the love of Allaah, of His Messenger (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam), his companions, love for good & righteous folks, love & assist for the faith, love of martyrdom for the sake of Allaah. It is a harmful mistake to limit this broad which means to this one sort of love which many a time doesn’t even distinguish between the reliable love in marriage & the forbidden love of mistresses, boy & girlfriend.
?In Islam, true & honest {couples} ought to specific love all year long – not simply on sooner or later of the yr. Those who declare that celebration of this pagan “feast of lovers” helps to advertise love between married {couples}; see statistics in international locations the place it’s extensively practiced. *American Time journal acknowledged that round 4,000 wives out of roughly 6 million who’re crushed die on account of that beating*. So how can we imagine that Valentine’s Day is of any profit to married {couples}? *The fact is that it’s a name for extra permissiveness, immorality & the forming of forbidden relationships.*
?The exception to the final rule of Love in Islam is undoubtedly the love of the kaafirs. One of the fundamental ideas of Islam adhered to by the pious predecessors is *al-walaa’ wa’l-baraa’* (loyalty and friendship vs. disavowal & enmity) just for the sake of Allah. It is compulsory for everybody who says Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Muhammad Rasool Allaah to comply with this precept. Allaah says :
*“You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people)…”[58:22]*
“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them.Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)”[5:51]
?Real Muslims are pleased with their faith & are usually not weak characters who comply with each Tom, Dick & Harry. *TAKE A STAND, STAY CLEAR OF THE DEADLY VIRUS OF VALENTINE; A GLOBAL PAGAN VISA FOR OBSCENITY & IMMORALITY.*
