The History Of Valentine:
------------------------------
Saint Valentine's day is 14th February.
The celebrations of St. Valentine's Day are steeped in legend and mystery; indeed the motives behind the day's creation and even St. Valentine himself have been shrouded incontroversy and doubt.
Saint Valentine's Day embraces a time of year that is historically associated with love and fertility. It encompasses the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera
in Ancient Athens and the Ancient Roman festival of "Lupercus (the god of fertility)"!
The priests of Lupercus would perform a traditional purification ritual, slaughtering goats to the god,
and after consuming wine, they would run through the streets of Rome holding aloft the skins of the goats touching anyone they met. The occasion compelled floods of young women to the streets in the belief that being touched would improve
their chances of conceiving and bring forth easy
childbirth. There remains some speculation over the
exact date of the celebration.
The first official Saint Valentine's Day was declared
on 14th of February by Pope Galasius in 496, in
memory of a 3rd century martyred priest in Rome. It
is not known for sure whether Pope Galasius was
honouring this 3rd century priest or whether it was
one of two other martyred priests associated with the 14th of February. One was Bishop of Interamna
(modern Terni) and the other apparently suffered in
Africa along with a number of companions. Nothing
further is known about these two Saint Valentines
and it is the priest in Rome that has become the most widely acclaimed of the three.
It is believed that the young priest rose to distinction after betraying Emperor Claudius in 270 AD by conducting illegitimate wedding
ceremonies in the capital. Emperor Claudius claimed that married men made poor soldiers and
consequently decreed that all marriages of younger citizens would be outlawed.
Bishop Valentine, however, maintained that marriage was part of God's plan and purpose for the world. He continued to conduct marriages in secret between young people, sometimes as young as twelve(12) years old! in the name of love.
His success gained him unwelcome notoriety, which
became Bishop Valentine's downfall. He was jailed
and ultimately beheaded, but not before he fell in love with the jailer's daughter. It is thought that on the evening of his execution the bishop passed her a note which read "from your Valentine". This story has blossomed into the defining tradition of Valentine's Day..
Allah (Subhana Wa'ala) Say:
------------------------------
This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.
[al-Maa’idah 5:3]
Some Related Hadith:
------------------------------
In a Hadith recorded by Imam Abu Dawud (R) and others, The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W)) said:
"Whosoever imitates a nation is amongst them."
Conclusion:
-------------------
14 february it valentine's day. Non believer used to celebrate that day all in the name of Love! Which is prohibited in Islam.
But the most sad and shamefull thing is that ,Today the Muslims also began to celebrate that illegal sex day, "which I call world Zina day" ...... :'(
We are Muslims and We should not participate in such celebration..... Say "In shaa_Allah." I will not participate.
Jazakallah Khair.......:)
May Almighty Allah forgives us our shortcomings and pardon us for our negligence....... Amin! :"(
