VALENTINE DAY (DAY Compassionate)

According to the Islamic view
Really he was just a mere affection?
 
"And if you obey most of the people on this earth, nescaya they will lead you astray from Allah's way. They follow nothing but mere prejudice, and they are nothing but a lie (against Allah). "(Surah Al-An'am: 116)
 
Day 'affection' is celebrated by people of West in recent years called 'Valentine Day' is very popular and widespread in Indonesia pelusuk even in Malaysia as well. Moreover, if menjelangnya February where we met a lot of jargon (the symbols or advertisements) are not Islamic in order to expose only a form of (promoting) Valentine. Various places of entertainment stems from discotheque (disco / club night), hotels, organizations mahupun small groups; crowded that berlumba dolphin offer events to celebrate Valentine's. With the support (influence) the mass media such as newspapers, radio mahupun televisyen; majority of Muslims were also fed (served) with advertisements for Valentine's Day.
 
 HISTORY OF VALENTINE:
It is an ironic (sad / should not happen) when our ears to hear even our own 'jump' in celebration of Valentine's without knowing the history of Valentine's Day itself. Valentine was actually a martyr (in Islam is called 'Martyrs') that kerana errors and are 'generous' then he was given the title of Saint or Saint.
On 14 February 270 AD, St. Valentine was killed because of opposition (pertelingkahan) with Roman rulers at that time namely King Claudius II (268-270 AD). To glorify him (St. Valentine), regarded as a symbol of fortitude, courage and resignation 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, 'religious ceremony' is starting beransur-ansur disappear and turn into 'not a religious celebration. " Valentine's Day dinner party is then connected with affection the ancient Romans called "Supercalis" which falls on February 15.
 
After the Romans came in Christianity (Kristian), parties 'supercalis' then associated with funeral ceremonies St. Valentine. St. funeral ceremony reception. Valentine as a 'day of love' was also associated with the European belief that the time 'love' it started booming 'as male and female birds' on 14 February.
 
In French Normandy, in the Middle Ages have the word "Galentine" which means to 'Galant or love'. Rhyme between galentine and valentine cause people to think that should the youth in finding her life partner on 14 February. With growing age, a 'martyr' named St. Valentino probably will continue to shift much sense (away from the meaning of that fact). Humans today are no longer clear about the origins of Valentine's Day. Where in this day and age is the knowledge of Valentine's pass (through) greeting cards, fraternity party, gift exchange (exchange-rate reward) and so on without wanting to know the background history over 1700 years ago.
 
From this it can be concluded that the moment (it / time / time) is just not more patterned or animistic belief that trying merosak mere 'faith' of Muslims and Muslim as well as introducing western lifestyles under the guise of romance (bertopengkan romance), arranged marriage and love.
  ISLAMIC VIEWS
As a Muslim ask ourselves, whether we're going to be an example so just something that is clearly not from Islam?
 
Let us ponder the word of God s.w.t.:
"And ye janglah megikuti what you do not have knowledge about it. Indeed hearing, sight, and hearts, all that will be required to account he replied. " (Surah Al-Isra: 36)
 
In Islam the word "know" means being able to perceive (know) with all five senses are controlled by the liver. Knowledge to the point of lifting the content and nature of truth. Not only just to see or hear. Nor is it just know the history, purpose, what, who, when (if), how, and where, but more than that.
 
By kerana Islam that forbids most trust bum (push / follow) to any other beliefs or in Islam called taqlid.
Prophet's Hadith: "He who imitate or follow any of the (religion) then he is of the (religious) that". God's Word s.w.t. in Surah Al-Imran (family of Imran) verse 85: "Anyone who seeks a religion other than Islam, then once in a while is not accepted (the religion) thereof, and in the Hereafter he is among those who lose."
THINGS THAT SHOULD BE GIVEN ATTENTION: -
In Valentine's problems need to be understood in depth, especially from religious glasses kerana our lives 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 problem of 'Valentine Day'.
 
1. PRINCIPLES / BASIC
   Valentine's Day is a celebration that according to the banquet party 'supercalis' where ancient Romans after they entered the Christian Religion (Kristian), then turned into a 'religious ceremony' which is associated with the death of St. Valentine.
 
2. HUMAN RESOURCES
   Valentine's clearly not from Islam, but rather comes from the imaginary human minds that are forwarded by the church. By kerana it is, stick to the rational human mind alone, but if it is not based on Islam (Allah), then he will rejected.
Word of Allah swt in Surah Al Baqarah verse 120: "The Jews and the Christians would not like to you until you follow their religion.
Say: Surely Allah's guidance manual (the real). " And verily if thou follow their kemahuan after knowledge came to you, then God is no longer the protector and helper for you ".
 
3. PURPOSE
   The purpose of creating and expressed his affection in Persada earth is good. But not seminit for a day and a day for a year. Nor the means to be oriented to the Valentine we like to raise another on Islamic teachings. Diutuskan Islam to his people by ordering his followers to Compassionate and interweave the eternal brotherhood under the auspices of Allah the Most Compassionate and Merciful. Even the Prophet s.a.w. said: "No one believed in you so that he love his brother as his love for yourself".
 
4. OPERATIONAL In general, Valentine's Day event held in the form of debauchery and riot. Consider the words of God Almighty: "Surely it is a spendthrift, wastrel 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 the (wealth) that are in earth, you would not be able to unite their hearts, but God has been to unite their hearts. Surely, He (God) is Mighty, Wise.
 
It's obvious! Whatever the reason, we can not accept the cultural imports from the outside, which obviously contrary to the belief (Aqeedah) us. Let us not pollute our creeds on the pretext of tolerance and loyal friend. Kerana if say tolerance, Islam's most tolerant in the world.
 
How far we are swinging step hailed (laud) Valentine's Day? We should menyedari early (today), in order not to sink further. We need not envy and jealousy with ceremonies and other forms of religious compassion. Is not God is Ar Rahman and Ar Rohim. Not just a day for a year. And not too packed with passion. But the obvious affection in Islam is more spacious than all that. In fact, Islam is an 'alternative' last after the man failed with other systems.
 
Look at the rise of Islam! Look kerosakan-kerosakan shown by Western civilization in both the mass media, televisyen and so forth. Because the West was only recognize things or matters that are material. Their hearts are empty and they were like 'robots' that animate.
 
MARI Istiqomah (hold fast) Consider the Word of God: "... And actually if you follow their desires after the knowledge come to thee, thou art then included among those who do wrong".
 
May Allah give us hidayahNya and determination to istiqomah with Islam so that our hearts to accept the truth and start teaching.
The purpose of all it is for us always be loyal, so with the permission of Allah swt we can meet with the Prophet both Prophet Adam to Prophet Muhammad
God's Word s.w.t.: "Those who obey Allah and His Apostle then he will be with people who were given favors from the class of the Prophets, the Siddiq (true faith), martyr, Sholihin (Salih people), that's their best friend."
