Valentine's Day according to Moeslim

Is it just a mere affection?


"And if you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you nescaya from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but fancy, and they are nothing but a lie (against Allah). "(Surah Al-An'am: 116)


Day of 'affection' which is celebrated by the people of West in recent years called 'Valentine's Day' is very popular and widespread in Indonesia pelusuk even in Malaysia as well. Moreover if menjelangnya in February where many of us have encountered the jargon (symbols or advertisements) are not only a form of Islamic order to expose (promote) Valentine. Various entertainment stems from the discotheque (disco / nightclub), hotels, organizations mahupun small groups; boisterous dolphin berlumba offer events to celebrate Valentine. With the support (influence) the mass media such as newspapers, radio mahupun televisyen, most of the Muslims were also fed (served) with advertisements for Valentine's Day.


 HISTORY OF VALENTINE:

It is ironic (sad / should not happen) when our ears hear even our own 'plunge' in celebration of Valentine Valentine without knowing the history of it's own. Valentine actually was a martyr (in Islam called 'martyrs') that his deep guilt and be 'generous' then he was given the title of Saint or Saint.

On February 14, 270 AD, St. Valentine was killed because of opposition (schism) with the Roman authorities at that time namely King Claudius II (268-270 AD). To glorify him (St. Valentine), which is considered a symbol of fortitude, courage and surrender in the face of cubaan life, then his followers to commemorate the death of St. Valentine as a 'religious ceremony'.


But since the 16th century AD, 'ritual' started beransur-ansur disappeared and turned into a 'celebration is not religious'. Valentine's Day dinner party is then connected to love the ancient Romans called "Supercalis" which falls on February 15.


After the Romans entered Christianity (Kristian), parties 'supercalis' then associated with funerals St. Valentine. Acceptance funeral St. Valentine's 'day of love' is also linked to the European belief that a 'love' that started booming 'like males and females' on February 14.


In French Normandy, in the Middle Ages there is the word "Galentine" which bererti 'galant or love'. Rhyme between galentine and valentine leads one to think that young people should be in finding a life partner on February 14. With the development of the times, a 'martyr' called St. Valentino will probably continue to shift much sense (away from the actual erties). Humans today are no longer clear about the origin of Valentine's Day. Where in this day and age people know Valentine pass (through) greeting cards, fraternity party, exchange gifts (gift giving rotatory) and so without wanting to know the background history of over 1700 years ago.


From this it can be concluded that the moment (it / current / time) is simply not more patterned or animist beliefs that seek merosak mere 'faith' Muslims and Muslim as well as introducing western lifestyle under the guise of romance (romance bertopengkan), arranged marriages and love.

VIEWS OF ISLAM

As a Muslim ask ourselves, whether we will be an example not just something that is obviously not from Islam?


Let us consider the word of God s.w.t.:

"And you janglah megikuti what you do not have any knowledge of it. Indeed, hearing, sight, and heart, it will be held accountable for everything he said. " (Surah Al-Isra: 36)


In Islam the word "know" means capable of sensing (knowing) with all five senses are controlled by the liver. Knowledge to the extent the content and nature of the actual lifting. Not just to see or hear. Nor is it just to know the history, purpose, what, who, when (if), how, and where, but more than that.


By his deep belief that Islam forbids the bum so (push / opt) to a trust others or in Islam is called taqlid.

Holy Prophet: "He who imitate or follow a people (religion), he included the (religious) it".
God's Word s.w.t. in Surah AL Imran (Imran Family) verse 85: "Those who seek religion other than Islam, it occasionally is not acceptable (religion) thereof, and in the Hereafter he is among those who lose."

THINGS HAVE BEEN CAUTION: -

In the Valentine's issue should be understood in depth, especially from the standpoint of religion kerana life we ​​can not run away or escape from the religion (Islam) as a way of life. Here are some things that must be understood in the matter of 'Valentine's Day'.


1. PRINCIPLES / BASIC
   Valentine's Day is a celebration by the party gala 'supercalis' where the ancient Romans after they entered Christianity (kristian), then changed to 'religious events' associated with the death of St. Valentine.


2. HUMAN RESOURCES
   Valentine's obviously not from Islam, but rather comes from the imaginary human mind is forwarded by the church. By his deep it is, people cling to the rational mind alone, but if it is not based on Islam (Allah), then he will be rejected.

Word of Allah in Surah Al Baqarah verse 120: "The Jews and Christians will not be pleased to you until you follow their religion.

Say: "Verily, Allah clues that hint (true)". And verily if thou follow their kemahuan after knowledge came unto you, that God is no longer the protector and helper for you ".


3. PURPOSE
   The purpose of creating and expressing affection in persada earth is good. But not seminit for a day and a day for a year. And nor should we bererti oriented to Valentine as if raised above the other teachings of Islam. Diutuskan Islam to his people by ordering his followers to compassion and interweave the eternal brotherhood under the auspices of Allah the Merciful, the Compassionate. Even the Prophet s.a.w. He said: "Do not believe in any one of you that he loves his brother as his love for yourself".


4. OPERATIONAL
In general, Valentine's Day event was held in the form of debauchery and riot.
Consider the words of Allah: "Surely it is a spendthrift-spendthrift brothers syaithon syaithon and it is very disbelieve in their Lord". (Surah Al-Isra: 27)

Surah Al-Anfal verse 63 which reads: "... even if you spend all that (wealth) which are in the earth, surely you can not unite their hearts, but God had brought their hearts. Verily, He (God) Almighty, the Wise. "


It's obvious! Whatever the reason, we can not accept the culture imported from outside, which obviously contradicts the belief (faith) us. Let us not pollute our faith under the guise of tolerance and solidarity. Kerana that virtually tolerance, Islam is the most tolerant in the world.


It's how far we take the leap hail (worship) Valentine's Day? We should expect menyedari early (today), so as not to sink further. No need us envious and jealous of the ceremony and other forms of religious affection. Is not Allah Ar Rahman and Ar Rohim. Not just a day for a year. And it is not wrapped in lust. But the obvious affection in Islam wider than all that. Even Islam is an 'alternative' last resort after they fail with other systems.


Look at the rise of Islam!!! Look kerosakan-kerosakan shown by Western civilization in both the mass media, and so forth televisyen. Because the West is actually only recognize cases or matters that are material. Their hearts were empty and they were like 'robot' is animate.


MARI ISTIQOMAH (HOLD TEGUH)
Consider God's Word:
"... And verily if thou follow their desires after the knowledge came unto thee, then thou art belonged to the people who do wrong".


May God give us the hidayahNya and determination to be istiqomah with Islam so that our hearts to accept the truth and live by its precepts.

The purpose of it all is that we are always observant so with the permission of Allah swt we can better meet the Prophet Adam to Prophet Muhammad PBUH

S.w.t. God's Word:
"Those who obey Allah and His Messenger, then he will be with people who were in favor of the group of Prophets, the shiddiq (true faith), martyr, Sholihin (Salih ones), they are the best of good friends."


Said Zulkifli Nordin Peguam (peguam in Malaysia) on tape 'FOLD' is mafhumnya: -

"VALENTINE" is the name of a clergyman. His name is Pedro St. Valentino. February 14, 1492 is the day of the fall of the Islamic Kingdom of Spain. This cleric announced or isytiharkan day as a day of 'love' on her kerana Islam is unjust!!! The fall of the Islamic Kingdom of Spain is celebrated as Valentine's Day. Teaching Hope You All Go!!! So .. why do we want to welcome Valentine's Day because it was the day we fall of the Islamic empire in Spain ..
