History Behind Valentine's Day

In order to understand how Valentine's Day started, you need to understand what

"Lupercalia" is. In the Ancient Roman times, Lupercalia was

the "celebration of the wolf" where they used to gather some young people - men &

women, and used to write the names of the women on a paper and put them in a box,

then the men had to pick one paper, and whatever name of a woman they saw, used

to become their partner for the day, and they used to make intimate relations with

each other. Overall it was the day of "open sexual relationship."

Later on, around in 3rd century, in the month of February, the Roman Emperor

created a law for the soldiers of his army that they were not allowed to get married

because according to him, the marriage could distract them from their purpose.

But there was a priest called "Valentine", who disagreed with that law, and he went

against the Govt. and consequently he was imprisoned for sedition and soon

was executed, but on the day of his execution, he wrote a letter to a couple

who were getting married as "From Your Valentine". So this is how the "Valentine's

Day" came into existence. It was the day when Saint Valentine was beheaded.

Then also the Lupercalia was combined with this Valentine's day, which means

the couples were encouraged to indulge in open fornication as it used to happen

during Lupercalia.

And now in the present time, the Valentine's Day has changed even more where they have

added some more days like chocolate day, teddy day, hug day and so on just to ignite the

excitement in each other to fall for HARAM on 14 of Feb. This is exactly opposite to what

Allah said in Quran (17:32) "Do not come close to Zinah", and all such acts before

valentines

day bring you closer and closer to Zinah. You see! This is how Devil plans.

Even many Muslims have fallen for this devilish plan, and they consider it

a "Day of Love", little they know that it's the "Day of Devil", the devil like a wolf

in sheep's clothing who lies in wait and wants to devour the innocence, chastity

and purity of young people.

If you're married, then for you - the entirelife should be a "Day of love", you

dont have to wait for this particular day toadore your spouse, to show your love

and compassion to each other.If you choose only this particular day, that means

you're believing in this non-islamic celebration which is not from Islam.

Stay away from such celebrations.

The Prophet g said, "Whoever imitates a people, is one of them."

(Abu Dawud 4031, Sahih by Albani).
