[SwF] Valentine?s day???????

Valentine’s day has its roots in the Christian religion. It was established to mourn the death of a Roman priest, St. Valentine of the third Century AD. (Sunday Tribune 6/2/2000) 
Since Valentine’s day was initially associated with Christianity, the expression of love in the form of exchanging Valentine’s gifts on that day will not be permissible. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Whosoever imitates a nation, is amongst them.’ (Abu Dawud pg.559; HM Sa’eed)
 
A Muslim is a Muslim for life. During joys and sorrows, during celebrations and sufferings, we must follow the one straight path --- not many divergent paths. It is a great tragedy that under the constant barrage of commercial and cultural propaganda from the forces of globalization and the relentless media machine, Muslims have begun to embrace the Valentines, the Halloween ghost, and even the Santa Claus. Given our terrible and increasing surrender to paganism the only day we should be observing is a day of mourning. Better yet it should be a day of repentance that could liberate us from all these days. And all this daze.
