The Reality of Valentine’s Day

Why can’t  Muslims celebrated Valentine’s day ?   Isn’t  it all about love! What’s the big deal?

Valentine’s day’s message is good.  In fact Islam teaches this very concept in Surah Ar-Rum:

“And among His signs is that He has created for you, of yourselves, spouses (azwaj), that you may feel tranquility and relief (taskunu) in her and (He) has set love and mercy between you. There are signs in this for a people who reflect” (30:21).

But the creation of valentine’s day is rooted in a Roman pagan tradition  and the Quran warns us about following traditions blindly

When they are told, “Follow what GOD has revealed herein,” they say, “We follow only what we found our parents doing.” What if their parents did not understand, and were not guided? The example of such disbelievers is that of parrots who repeat what they hear of sounds and calls, without understanding. Deaf, dumb, and blind; they cannot understand. [2:170-171]
