Assalamualaikum.
Alhamdulillah. I do thank you for replying me. As i told you, my brother, i would like to know more about the moslen condition in other countries.
As long as I know, the moslem in europe are discriminated, and our brothers and sisters in middle east are not safe enough, because of the negative issue in the western world.
Thanks to Allah, Indonesian moslem are safe enough, but the young generation start being away from the Islam step by step because of western culture.
Any way, could i know more about you hurul, about ur country and yourself. And what do you think about valentine's day.

Saint Valentine's Day -- What is the meaning of it?
Every February 14th, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, and school classmates exchange "valentines", heart-shaped boxes of candy, and flowers while celebrating this holiday. You have more than likely grown up observing this custom, but have you ever wondered where it came from and what it is REALLY about?
The story of the Festival of Love (Valentine’s Day)
Valentine's Day is NOT some attempt to share God's love. It began as a pagan courtship and s** holiday, although it has dropped some of its more direct pagan symbols.
The Festival of Love was one of the festivals of the pagan Romans, more than seventeen centuries ago. In the pagan Roman concept, it was an expression of “spiritual love”.
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.
The connection between Saint Valentine and this festival-
Saint Valentine is a name which is given to two of the ancient “martyrs” of the Christian Church. It was said that there were two of them, or that there was only one, who died in Rome as the result of the persecution of the Gothic leader Claudius, c. 296 CE. In 350 CE, a church was built in Rome on the site of the place where he died, to perpetuate his memory.
When the Romans embraced Christianity, they continued to celebrate the Feast of Love mentioned above, but they changed it from the pagan concept of “spiritual love” to another concept known as the “martyrs of love”, represented by Saint Valentine who had advocated love and peace, for which cause he was martyred, according to their claims. It was also called the Feast of Lovers, and Saint Valentine was considered to be the patron saint of lovers.
It was also said concerning the origins of this holiday that after Christianity had become widespread, the Roman emperor Claudius II decreed that soldiers should not get married, because marriage would distract them from the wars they used to fight. This decree was opposed by Saint Valentine, who started to perform marriages for the soldiers in secret. When the emperor found out about that, he threw him in jail and sentenced him to execution. He was executed on 14 February 270 CE, on the eve of February 15, the festival of Lupercalis. So this day was named for this saint.
Today, Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on chocolate, flowers, dinners, hotel rooms and all sorts of other gifts to celebrate February 14th. There is a lot of money to be made from people’s desire to commemorate the date, and even more to be made in convincing people to employ any number of new means to celebrate.
Valentine Day is an innovated holiday that has no basis in religion. We do not need to honour or celebrate the death of a Christian "saint"
“They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides God (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by God)…” [The Quran: chapter 9:31]
The love referred to in this festival ever since the Christians revived it, is romantic love outside the framework of marriage.
Islam does not encourage flirting or suggestions of romantic relationships before marriage.
The result of that is the spread of fornication and adultery and immorality.
Love in Islam is more general and more comprehensive; it is not restricted only to one kind of love, that between a man and a woman. There are many more kinds of love. There is the love of God, love of His Messengers, love for good and righteous people, love and support for the religion. There are many kinds of love. It is a dangerous mistake to restrict this broad meaning to this one kind of love.
Now let us look at the state of affairs in western societies where Valentine’s Day is celebrated, and ask, what is the state of marriage relationships in those societies, and do these celebrations have any positive effect on interactions between husbands and wives?
Studies and statistics show the following:
A study carried out by the National American Office for Mental Health states the following:
- 17% of women who go to emergency rooms are victims of beatings by their husbands or boyfriends.
- In a report of the Central American Agency for Examination [FPT] it states that every 18 seconds there is a woman who is beaten by her husband somewhere in America .
- In Britain , in an opinion poll in which 7,000 women took part, 28% of them said that they had been subjected to attacks by their husbands and boyfriends.
So how can we believe that Valentine’s Day is of any benefit-
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 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 s** 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.
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.
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.
