The love referred to in this festival ever since the Christians revived it is romantic love outside the framework of marriage. The result of that is the spread of fornication and immorality. Hence, the Christian clergy opposed it at some stage and abolished it, then it came back again.
Some people may wonder, and say: “ You mean to deprive us of love, but in this day and age we express our feelings and emotions - what is so wrong with that? ” We say:
Firstly: It is a mistake to confuse what they call the day with what the real intentions are behind it. The love referred to on this day is romantic love, taking mistresses and lovers, boyfriends and girlfriends. It is known to be a day of promiscuity and sex for them, with no restraints or restrictions… They are not talking of pure love between a man and his wife or a woman and her husband, or at least they do not distinguish between the legitimate love in the relationship between husband and wife, and the forbidden love of mistresses and lovers. This festival for them is a means for everyone to express love.
Secondly: Expression of feelings and emotions is not a justification for the Muslim to allocate a day for celebration based on his own thoughts and ideas, and to call it a festival, or make it like a festival or ‘Eed. So how about when it is one of the festivals of the non-Muslims? In Islam, a husband loves his wife throughout the year, and he expresses that love towards her with gifts, in verse and in prose, in letters and in other ways, throughout the years - not just on one day of the year.
Thirdly: There is no religion which encourages its followers to love and care for one another more than Islam does. This applies at all times and in all circumstances, not just on one particular day. Indeed, Islam encourages us to express our emotions and love at all times.
What these people think, that love before marriage is a good thing, is wrong, as has been proven in studies and by real-life experience. So, how can we believe that Valentine's Day is of any benefit to Muslims? The truth is that it is a call for more permissiveness and immorality, and the forming of forbidden relationships. The husband who sincerely loves his wife does not need this holiday to remind him of his love. He expresses his love for his wife at all times and on all occasions.

The story of the Festival of Love (Valentine's
Day)
The Festival of Love was one of the festivals of
the pagan Romans, when paganism was the
prevalent religion of the Romans more than
seventeen centuries ago. In the pagan Roman
concept, it was an expression of "spiritual love".
There were myths associated with this pagan
festival of the Romans, which persisted with
their Christian heirs. Among the most famous of
these myths was the Roman belief that Romulus,
the founder of Rome, was suckled one day by a
she-wolf, which gave him strength and wisdom.
The Romans used to celebrate this event in mid-
February each year with a big festival. One of
the rituals of this festival was the sacrifice of
a dog and a goat. Two strong and muscular
youths would daub the blood of the dog and goat
onto their bodies, and then they would wash the
blood away with milk. After that there would be
a great parade, with these two youths at its
head, which would go about the streets. The two
youths would have pieces of leather with which
they would hit everyone who crossed their path.
The Roman women would welcome these blows,
because they believed that they could prevent
or cure infertility.

Firstly: That its origins lie in the pagan beliefs
of the Romans, where it was an expression of
the spiritual love of the idols which they used to
worship instead of Allaah. Whoever celebrates it
is celebrating an occasion of Shirk (associating
others with Allaah Almighty) on which the idols
are venerated. Allaah Says (what means):
"Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship)
with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise
to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for
the polytheists there are no helpers." [Quran
5:72]


Secondly: That the development of this festival
among the Romans was connected to myths and
legends which no sound mind can accept, let
alone the mind of the Muslim who believes in
Allaah and His Messengers may Allaah exalt
their mention. Can anyone of sound mind believe
that a she-wolf suckled the founder of the city
of Rome and gave him strength and wisdom?
Moreover, these myths go against the belief of
the Muslim because the One Who bestows
strength and wisdom is the Creator, the
Glorified and Exalted, not the milk of a she-
wolf! The same applies to the myth that their
idols could protect them from evil or keep wolves
away from their flocks.

This festival was denounced by the
Christian clergy in Italy, the bastion of
Catholicism, because it was spreading bad
attitudes and having an adverse effect on the
minds of young men and women.
So, it is better for the Muslims to reject it, warn
others against it and to fulfill their duty
towards it of enjoining what is good and
forbidding what is evil.

The result of that is the spread of fornication and immorality.

It is a mistake to confuse what they call the day with what the real intentions are behind it. The love referred to on this day is romantic love, taking mistresses and lovers, boyfriends and girlfriends.

It is known to be a day of promiscuity and sex for them, with no restraints or restrictions.

Expression of feelings and emotions is
not a justification for the Muslim to allocate a
day for celebration based on his own thoughts
and ideas, and to call it a festival, or make it
like a festival or ‘Eed.

islam encourage to love at all times and in
all circumstances, not just on one particular day.


So, how can we believe that Valentine's Day is of
any benefit to Muslims?
The truth is that it is a call for more permissiveness and immorality, and the forming of forbidden relationships.

The husband who sincerely loves his wife does not
need this holiday to remind him of his love. He
expresses his love for his wife at all times and on

Ahmed, Val's day is a day of sharing love to everyone on earth. And when u said "having a adverse effect on the minds of young men and women" it is their choice. You can't choose a path for someone and if you reject it as a Muslim, other Muslims are cool with it cause they understand what they say "share the love". So bro, stop seeing things the other way round. Look through the same window.

There ain't no justice to this topic. We're just making things clear hear and neither you nor ahmed has made any point to it.
