CULTURAL DEGENERATION (VALENTINE'S DAY)
Every year on February 14th, Valentine's Day (Lustful Day) is observed around the world.
Young men and young women in the name of love that day; Exchanging greeting cards, handing out flowers, meeting in solitude, wandering around without the knowledge of parents,
We see so many ubiquitous, ugly, obscene things happening in the media, such as husband and wife exchanging intimate things, hugging in public, kissing ugly, and losing each other's chastity (prostitution).
Those who do not have lovers (prostitutes) are still looking for lovers (prostitutes) on that day. It is common to make fun of those who do not have lovers.
Not to mention in the West. There is chastity to the extent that one asks what chastity is. Morality and chastity are questioned to the extent that it is okay for a daughter to lose her chastity.
Husband-wife intimate matters take place ubiquitously in public places.
We need to look at the history of this Valentine's Day, which is said to be the basis for the chastity of many and the occurrence of many immoral things.
In 270 AD, Claudius II of the Roman Empire issued an edict forbidding any soldiers from marrying during their reign.
Valentine, a priest, secretly arranges marriages for many people in defiance of the king's orders. Upon learning of this, the king imprisons the priest and executes him. February 14, the day he was hanged.
Based on this, Valentine's Day is observed. This is the history that is generally believed by everyone.
How Islam sees this love. We need to consider whether Islam is a religion against love or a religion that supports it.
Islam vehemently condemns the indulgence of a foreign man and a foreign woman in the guise of love for many of the above-mentioned indecent acts.
Generally, according to Islam, one should first ban the causes of error before saying, "Do not make mistakes." This is one of the peculiarities of Islam.
Vision is the basis of adultery. The following verse tells us how men and women of faith should be.
˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what they do.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believers, so that you may be successful.
Qur'an 24:30 31
Islam strongly condemns the separation of a Non Muhram man and woman.
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: That he heard the Prophet saying, It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and no lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry in any case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.). Bukhari 3006,5233. Muslim: 3336
The Prophets say that if a Non Muhram man and woman are separate, then Satan will be the third. Tirmidhi, Musnad Ahmad
Islam also warns those who want to spread the above evils in the guise of Valentine's Day.
Indeed, those who love to see indecency spread among the believers will suffer a painful punishment in this life and the Hereafter. Allah knows and you do not know.
24: 19
Parents should be careful about their children to prevent such things from happening.
Parents should try to get rid of whatever is the root cause of their misguidance, especially on the internet, face book, cell phones, etc. Parents are the only ones who engage in intimate chat games without any shyness or embarrassment through cell phones. This is visible to the world.
A man and a woman who believe in God should take the Prophet as a role model. Anyone who takes the Prophet as a role model will never engage in any of the above indecent acts.
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.
33: 21
Another major reason for this is shamelessness.
The prophet have been more ashamed than the virgins who may be in the veil.
From this two things become clear to us.
One: There should be more sense of shame
Two: For virgins, the veil should be hidden, but today it is ubiquitous to hang out and talk to Non Muhram men (cell phone, facebook, websites) is a sign of shameless atheism.
Shame is a part of believing in God
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If you are not ashamed, do whatever you want." Bukhari: 3484,6120
Religion should provide quality moral education while parents do what their children need.
One of the best gifts a father can give his children is a good education
Youth are the pillars of the future. Society has to benefit from them. Do not waste the dreams of parents trapped in the illusion of love.
Prophet Yusuf should set an example for the youth who go to the wrong side in chastity and cell phone or face book.
And it so happened that the lady in whose house Joseph was living, sought to tempt him to herself, and one day bolting the doors she said: "Come on now!" Joseph answered: "May Allah grant me refuge! My Lord has provided an honourable abode for me (so how can I do something so evil)? Such wrong-doers never prosper."
And she advanced towards him, and had Joseph not perceived a sign from his Lord he too would have advanced towards her. Thus was Joseph shown a sign from his Lord that We might avert from him all evil and indecency, for indeed he was one of Our chosen servants.12: 23,24
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are) a just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood), a man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation), two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah, a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity), and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears.
Muslim 660, Musnad Ahmad, Abu Dawood.
Young women should be careful as well. Many eagle eyes are waiting to fall into the trap of love. Many events in the society show us that their purpose is not to love you and marry you and have good children but to rob you of your chastity. In this case, it is mostly women who are affected.
Falling into the trap of love despite parental opposition, losing one's chastity, losing one's dignity and committing suicide is one side. Similarly, how many people who get married despite their parents' opposition live happily ever after.
Allah (swt) sets an example for them in how a believing woman should be and how to protect her chastity.
and drew a curtain, screening herself from people whereupon We sent to her Our spirit and he appeared to her as a well-shaped man.
Mary exclaimed: "I surely take refuge from you with the Most Compassionate Lord, if you are at all God-fearing."
He said: "I am just a message-bearer of your Lord, I have come to grant you a most pure boy."
19: 17,18,19
Allah has also set forth the parable of Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity, and into whom We breathed of Our Spirit, and who testified to the words of her Lord and His Books. She was among the obedient.
66: 12
Is Islam a religion against love?
The holy word "no love" is portrayed as ugly. Instead, Islam says to love. Tells to keep affection.
Allah says in many places in the Quran that Allah, the Creator, loves us.
When Allah created love and mercy, He made it into foam types. He kept to himself ninety-nine of them. He gave only one type (of the rest) to all his works. Therefore, if the atheist knows the full mercy of Allah, he will not disbelieve in Paradise. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
Allah has a hundredfold love. He has spread one love to His servants and will give the remaining 99 times love to His servants on the Day of Resurrection. Comment of Hadith.
Bukhari, Muslim
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "One of you will not be a true believer until I love him more than his father, his children, and all other people."
From the language of this Prophet it is understood that to love the Prophet is to love more than everyone else and to love other than our mother father children other friends relatives other people must love them too.
Tells us to love the Companions of the Prophet.
Loving the Ansaris is a sign of faith in God.
Hating them is a sign of hypocrisy.
Bukhari: 17 Muslim
It tells us to love each other and shows us the way to it.
You cannot go to Paradise unless you believe. You can not become believers unless you love one another. Shall I tell you something that you love one another? Then the Prophets asked, "Spread the prayer among yourselves."
Muslim: 20
He goes to see his brother whom he loves. An angel comes to his mouth and asks him where he is going. He tells him to see my brother. He does not ask you if you are going for any (worldly) gain. I love him for my Allah and that is why I seek him. He says, "I have come to tell you that the one for whom you love Him loves you." Hadith Commentary Book: Muslim
A man and a woman who fall into the illusion of love do whatever they want for their lovers. This is until their lust is satisfied. If we start to love Allah and the Prophet more than this, we will fulfill their commands till death. This is true love, affection and affection.
FINALLY A WARNING:
A divine warning to all who indulge in indecent, ugly, obscene things that float in the intoxication of spontaneous love in this world.
Imagine the Day when Allah's enemies will be mustered to the Fire, and the people of the former times will be detained until the arrival of people of the later times,
and when all have arrived, their ears, their eyes, and their skins shall bear witness against them, stating all that they had done in the life of the world.
They will ask their skins: “Why did you bear witness against us?” The skins will reply: “Allah gave us speech,26 as He gave speech to all others. He it is Who created you for the first time and it is to Him that you will be sent back.
When you used to conceal yourselves (while committing misdeeds) you never thought that your ears or your eyes or your skins would ever bear witness against you; you rather fancied that Allah does not know a great deal of what you do.
This thought of yours about your Lord has led to your perdition and you have become among the losers.”
In this state, whether they bear with patience (or not), Fire alone shall be their abode. And if they seek to make amends, they will not be allowed to do so.
We had assigned to them companions who embellished for them all that was before them and behind them. Thus the same decree (of chastisement) which had overtaken the previous generations of jinn and human beings (also) became due against them. Surely they became the losers.
41: (19,25)
Despite these warnings, the Qur'an says that those who lose their virginity and are humiliated and humiliated in the orgies of love are worse off than animals.
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.
7: 179.
Therefore, in view of the above teachings, let no Muslim man or woman engage in such indecent acts and preserve their faith and chastity and may God bless both worlds.
May Allah bless us for that.
