💖"Be My Valentine" Harmless or Ḥarām? ‎Valentine's Day, with it origins steeped in the Christian shirk of honouring the "martyr" St. Valentine of Rome, is a feast or tradition that has become commercialised to reflect wining, dining and gifting in the name of romance. ‎Muslim are not in need of imitating these traditions, whether interpreted traditionally or contemporarily. ‎Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” ‎Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4031 ‎Grade: Ṣaḥīḥ (authentic) according to Imām al-Albanī ‎The Prophet (ﷺ) exemplified the best behaviour between man and wife. ‎The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of you are the best to their families, and I am the best to my family. When your companion dies, then do not abuse him.” ‎Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3895 ‎Grade: Ṣaḥīḥ (authentic) according to al-Tirmidhi ‎On a daily basis, the spouses should live with one another in kindness, speaking with good speech, interacting with humility, lowering the wing of mercy to one another. Islām teaches spouses how to speak, act and even approach one another intimately with the best of guidance from the Book and the Sunnah. Why would we ever look to the traditions of the unbelievers who speak with foul speech, act with scandalousness, and lack basic hygiene. Lovebirds tonight, dumped in the morning. ‎It is only the deception of Shayṭān that turns a Muslim towards admiring the traditions of the disbelievers. Allāh has granted you much more in Islām. https://x.com/troidorg/status/1890583712888418466?s=46&t=axND5gXlZf6nrkQ4B3bX3Q
