Alhamdullilahi for the gift of Islam. People that have no law and guidance will descend here and start insulting us. While deep in their hearts they know they are only following their vain desires

As mohammed was following his vain desires with raping children of 6 years before being served hot breakfast of rat poison.

The same way his vain desire was to rob and murder caravans on their truth route.
Isn't from him that all these violence emanated from.

A stark muturu ndama illiterate opium abuser had to out of highness scribbled one Nonsense book of manual that you call quoran.

Islam is cursed true true.

I told you how fixing a 'Mother's Day' does not mean thats the only day people appreciate their mothers nor thats the only day she is a mother.

You just need to look beyond your nose to find meaning in everything, you would give people including Muslims who celebrate 'Lovers Day' their space and not look at them as inferior Muslims.

We are not looking at anybody as superior or inferior! We call Muslims to what is appropriate according to the texts of Islam.
And you are not a Muslim who follow the texts of Islam in this case....

Lover's day is not part of Islam. It was brought by one immoral Saint Valentine.....

What is Valentine?

Valentine’s Day is a jaahili Roman festival, which continued to be celebrated until after the Romans became Christian. This festival became connected with the saint known as Valentine who was sentenced to death on 14 February 270 CE. Some non-Muslims (including some Muslims) still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely. Ina Lilah was ina ilae rojiun!

Listen, as a Muslim reading this, it is not permissible for a Muslim to celebrate any of the festivals of the kuffaar, because festivals come under the heading of shar’i issues which are to be based on the sound texts.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Festivals are part of sharee’ah, clear way and rituals of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way”

[Al-Quran al-Maa’idah 5:48]

In essence, Muslims should not do any of their rituals at the time of their festivals; rather the day of their festival should be like any other day for the Muslims. The Muslims should not do anything specific in imitation of them. ( Majmoo al-Fataawa (25/329). )


Also, many scholars have issued fatawah stating that it is haraam to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Among them is our noble Sheikh:

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) who was asked:

In recent times the celebration of Valentine’s Day has become widespread, especially among female students. It is a Christian festival where people dress completely in red, including clothes and shoes, and they exchange red flowers. We hope that you can explain the ruling on celebrating this festival, and what your advice is to Muslims with regard to such matters; may Allaah bless you and take care of you.

He replied:

Celebrating Valentine’s Day is not permissible for a number of reasons.

1- It is an innovated festival for which there is no basis in Islam.

2- It promotes love and infatuation.

3- It calls for hearts to be preoccupied with foolish matters that are contrary to the way of the righteous salaf (may Allaah be pleased with them).

It is not permissible on this day to do any of the things that are characteristic of this festival, whether that has to do with food, drinks, clothing, exchanging gifts or anything else.

The Muslim should be proud of his religion and should not be a weak character who follows every Tom, Dick and Harry. I ask Allaah to protect the Muslims from all temptations, visible and invisible, and to protect us and guide us.

End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (16/199)


Say no to Valentine!

May Allah grant us beneficial understanding (Ameen).

There is no relationship between Islam and Valentine. The Quran did not say anything about Valentine because the occasion had not existed during the time of the Prophet (SAW). So, if you sit down somewhere in your bed bug ravaged hut and you write any nonsense for or against Valentine in the name of Islam, then Lucifer will whip your smelly ass mercilessly when you get to Hell Fire after Ogun the god of iron must have struck you dead.

Stop embarrassing Islam, you religious idiots all over the world.
