Islam isn't like Christianity where every pagan festivity no matter how immoral is conveniently adopted. You don't need a day in a year to show your loved ones you love them. In essence this day is just a day to glorify immorality and encourage adultery and fornication.

Omudia:
Oh shut up... Mention the verse in the bible that promotes fornication and immorality..?? Do you even know that Saint Valentine died for Christ?

Pls shut up if you don't know history.

EazyMoh:

See me see wahala o! I never said there was a Bible verse that supported fornication. What I said was.
1. Valentines day originated from pagan origin which was adopted by Christianity and renamed.
2. Valentine's day signifies a day of immorality culminating in adultery and fornication, which is main reason why Islam is against it.
Now you know the history of thus day, you wouldn't want it to be associated with your religion.

Stop rewriting history!

The origin of this holiday for the expression of love really isn't romantic at all—at least not in the traditional sense. Father Frank O'Gara of Whitefriars Street Church in Dublin, Ireland, tells the real story of the man behind the holiday—St. Valentine.
"He was a Roman Priest at a time when there was an emperor called Claudias who persecuted the church at that particular time," Father O'Gara explains. " He also had an edict that prohibited the marriage of young people. This was based on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died."
"I think we must bear in mind that it was a very permissive society in which Valentine lived," says Father O'Gara. "Polygamy would have been much more popular than just one woman and one man living together. And yet some of them seemed to be attracted to Christian faith. But obviously the church thought that marriage was very sacred between one man and one woman for their life and that it was to be encouraged. And so it immediately presented the problem to the Christian church of what to do about this."
"The idea of encouraging them to marry within the Christian church was what Valentine was about. And he secretly married them because of the edict."
Valentine was eventually caught, imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against command of Emperor Claudius the second. There are legends surrounding Valentine's actions while in prison.
"One of the men who was to judge him in line with the Roman law at the time was a man called Asterius, whose daughter was blind. He was supposed to have prayed with and healed the young girl with such astonishing effect that Asterius himself became Christian as a result."
In the year 269 AD, Valentine was sentenced to a three part execution of a beating, stoning, and finally decapitation all because of his stand for Christian marriage. The story goes that the last words he wrote were in a note to Asterius' daughter. He inspired today's romantic missives by signing it, "from your Valentine."

Omudia:
Your earlier post implied that Christians support immorality. Don't twist words.
Valentine doesnt have pagan origin origins. You shouldn't comment on issues you know nothing about.

EazyMoh:

Wow! It's amazing how you decide to give this part of history from the middle. Astonishingly without mentioning FEBRUARY 13th.
OK just one question where do you get to pick this particular date to celebrate the so called St. Valentines Day?
