Valentine's Day Love The Moot

Entering the month of February in the largest Islamic country (Indonesia) a population ± 220 million, the majority embraced Islam there is a scene that raises a big question mark for every Muslim.Providing self-service stores; red flowers, greeting cards are generally bearing pad Cheo (the god of love in the ancient Roman belief), hotels and restaurants provide a luxurious Valentine's package, radio and television broadcasts are structured in such a way as to enliven Valentine's Day which falls on the 14th of February.Is this Islamic tradition? If not, why people who claim to come celebrate his Islamic religion? Then what is the solution so that people do not follow the majority of the people of the minority?The following description may be able to answer these questions.- History of Valentine's Day:Several references explaining that Valentine's Day is a day of love that embraces Animism Romans celebrated since 17 centuries ago, as an expression of Gods love.This warning comes from a legend that the founder of Rome Romelius suckled by a wolf, so he grew to be a strong body of intelligent and rational.The Romans capture the event in mid-February with a celebration procession as follows:"A dog and sheep are slaughtered, and then selected two burly men bachelors to her body smeared with the blood of dogs and sheep. After smeared blood bathed the dog and sheep's milk. Then paraded all over the town, holding a whip made of leather. Inalong the way Roman women welcomed lesatan whip into his body, because it is believed to be efficacious cure hereditary diseases and easy to get. "- Relations with the celebration of Valentine above:Valentine is the name of a Christian who was murdered by Claudius in the year 296 AD through a torture because he converted from a devout Roman became a Christian animist.After the Romans embraced Christianity they do not throw the animist traditions but to replace it with the anniversary of Valentine's death as a propagator of love and peace leaders and modified into a procession of warnings:"They made a gathering of the masses, then write the names of women who have entered the age of marriage on a sheet of paper, then rolled up. Then called a young man to pick up a paper and opened it. Her name is written on paper will become a partner for a year, if after one year of living together without marriage they feel they continue to match the wedding. If there is no harmony in the coming year on Valentine's Day they parted ".The celebration was opposed by religious leaders at that time and they issued the ban after him because they deprave young men and women.There is no clear information about who is to revive this tradition.Some stories reveal that people in England since the fifteenth century AD warned- Attitude of a Muslim towards Valentine's Day:A. From its origins we know that the celebration of Valentine's Day is a sacred ceremony of the Roman people are animist as an expression of love for their god.This tradition is a tradition not unlike like a ritual shirk the Arabs express love pagan idols around the Kaaba was surrounded by naked, without wearing a single yarn, clapping and whistling, as God explained:} وما كان صلاتهم عند البيت إلا مكاء وتصدية فذوقوا العذاب بما كنتم تكفرون ("Prayer them around the House, the other is not merely whistling and clapping. Then taste the punishment because it's disbelief." (Surat al-Anfal: 35).And this tradition of the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi removed wasallam after conquering the city of Mecca and rid it of shirk, and Allah threatens those who do it with a painful torment.2. Then the Roman Christians adopted this tradition to celebrate Valentine's death as a symbol of love and peace spreader, but it was just a slogan for the celebration was a procession of more than a chance to find a partner unlawful for next year is looking like a cat mate for the breeding season in February. And this is contrary to Christian teaching that the priests forbade it. O ye Muslims! Valentine celebration is heresy in the Christian religion and forbidden to be celebrated at the beginning of his time by the priests. Why would you want him back? It was the priests are more intelligent than people who claim to be Islamic but come celebrate.3. The majority of Muslims who celebrate valentine with exchanging a greeting card or gift valentine roses or exchanging love letters or take hold or just attending the show. Generally they ask for the following reasons:- The young people explained that they just took the opportunity to look for Valentine's faithful mate.- The men and women who are married argue that Valentine's Day is an opportunity to perpetuate domestic express their love to each other.- People who have peers, work together, draftsman, who are Christians argue that Valentine's Day is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.The reason they propose to enforce a thread like wet, consciously or not they belong to the threat of the Prophet:((من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم))
 Any person who imitate the traditions of a people then he he is part of the such. H.R. Ahmad.Islam then people who enliven the real Valentine's Day he was part of the Christians or animist part of the ancient-roman-na'uzubillah.For young men and women who lost their Islamic identity!Valentine's celebration is not a good day to find a mate, because it is a celebration of shirk, even if you get a loyal partner in the world as it really true he's not your partner, especially later in the next (possibly the world) you and he will be hostile to each other, because the couple a true partner who is cautious and pious people will not want to attend the celebration of such Shirk.Allah Taala says:} الأخلاء يومئذ بعضهم لبعض عدو إلا المتقين (
 "Friends on that day partly familiar enemies one to another, except those who fear Allah". (Q.S. Az Zukhruf: 67)For Muslim Couples love the lantern began to dim! Shirk took the opportunity will only love you put out the lantern that started to dim and will ignite the fire that will burn your household.
      For Muslims and Muslimat is not familiar opponent and friend!Allah does not forbid you to make friends with people outside of Islam, but God forbid you put your love for them and even worse if you express it in the form of exchanging cards or gifts on the occasion of shirk. Allah Taala says:} لا تجد قوما يؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر يوآدون من حآد الله ورسوله ولو كانوا آباءهم أو أبنآءهم أو إخوانهم أو عشيرتهم ("You will not find folk who believe in Allah and the Hereafter, mutually-affection with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers, or children or their brothers or their family . (QS Al Mujadilah: 22).4. Reality of many Muslims who celebrate the day of love is very surprising when the religion of Islam has been explained in details on how to maintain and reap the love of Allah and His Messenger, love for fellow Muslims and Muslimat. They're like 'Children of Israel' who sell food from the sky with cucumber, garlic, beans, fennel and onion, which barter was in vain.Love in Islam is one of the important pillars of worship, worship is not based on love would feel empty.While the expression of love to God can be fertilized with the following:a. Follow the teachings of the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam:} قل إن كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني (Say: "If you (really) love Allah, follow me. (Surah Ali Imran: 31)b. Perform the obligatory deeds and circumcision, the Holy Prophet. said:((وما تقرب إلي عبدي بشيء أحب إلي مما افترضت عليه. وما يزال عبدي يتقرب إلي بالنوافل حتى أحبه: فإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به, وبصره الذي يبصر به, ويده التي يبطش بها, ورجله التي يمشي بها, وإن سألني أعطيته, ولئن استعاذني لأعيذنه))"And it is not a servant closer to Me with anything more I love than acts that have Kuwajibkan and my servant always closer to Me by performing good deeds-deeds until I love the traditions, so if I love him I become his hearing which he heard with the hearing, I'm a sight that he saw a vision, I became who he worked with his hands, and I became his leg which he runs with that leg. Had he asked of me I will undoubtedly give, and if He asked for my protection, I will give ". HR. Bukhari.c. Often recite the Quran, in a hadith of the Prophet:Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam sent a man to lead an expedition, he always read a (letter) when the troops lead the prayers and readings close to [قل هو الله أحد], when they returned, they told the matter to the Prophet sallallaahu` alaihi wasallam,He said, "Ask him, why did he do that? then they asked him, he said:" Because the letter (Al Ikhlash) describes the nature of Ar Rahman, then I really love to read, "then the Prophet said:" Tell him that Allah ta `ala love him." Agreed alaih.d. Say greetings when meeting or go home, the Prophet. :"For the soul is in His hands, you will not enter paradise until you believe and you will not believe until you love each other, I would show you about something if you do, you will love each other, greeting scatter among you" . HR. Muslim.e. Visit each other, the Prophet's words:"A man religious visit to relatives in other villages, and then God sent an angel watching trip, when he arrived in the village, the angel said," Woman, where are you? ", He said:" I want to visit my brother in this village, "the angel said: "Did you visit him, seeking worldly benefit?", he said: "No, just because I love him because God", the angel said: "Truly I am a messenger of Allah unto you that God's love as you love so and so because of his".HR. Muslim.f. Express your love to him by saying: "I love you because God" and that given the speech should answer, "may God love you".Prophet:"There's a man on the side of the Prophet sallallaahu` alaihi wasallam, then a man who in the past then the Prophet said: "O Messenger of Allah, I really love this person", the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam said to him:" Have you been told? "He said: "No", he said: "Tell him", then he followed that person and say: 'I love you because God ", and he replied:" Hopefully, Substances that you love me because of His love ". Reported by Abu DaudWhen you follow the tips above and proceed carefully you certainly will be detached from the shackles of love for a mortal (perish) replaced with a love of the One who Hereafter '(eternal) which reassure body and soul.May Allah make us the people who love each other because of his later Allah promised gets shade 'Throne on the day that there is no shade except His shade.Finally let us stretch out your hands to pray to God with prayer sya'ir love ever sung by the Prophet David and Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alaihim wasallam:اللهم إني أسألك حبك وحب من يحبك والعمل الذي يبلغني إلى حبك اللهم اجعل حبك أحب إلي من نفسي وأهلي ومن الماء البارد(O Allah, I ask Thee for Thy love and to love people who love you, and practices that deliver to love Thee, O God, make love you more than I love myself, my family, and the water is cool) ". HR.Tarmizi.
