scar140, y do u always come up with the topics related to ISLAM or KHANS?? Man, noone is against of any religion or particular race/caste..Kindly stop generalizing specific point..
I m a non-moslem but i don't celebrate VALENTINEs..The only reason is i don't believe in expressing love on particular day to the one to whom i love..For me, everyday is special and i make it special for my love ones..I don't need 14th feb to express my love or gratitude to others..So does it make me against of my religion?? There r some extremists in our country who r against of such celebrations in our country..But some people do celebrate irrespective of their caste/creed/religion in order to express their love...
Never ever enforce ur ideas/thoughts or philosophies on others..believe in LIVE AND LET OTHERS TO LIVE HAPPILY..
Allah has chosen for us Islam as our religion and He will not accept any other religion from anyone, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers" [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]
I am a muslim, I dont celebrate Valentine's day. Because it is "human creation". Good muslim follows only Qur'an and Hadist, Sunnah Rasullullah (pbuh).
Valentine's day was based on Christian Catholic history long time back, to pay honour to one priest who married people in love which on those time was forbidden to get married coz ruled by the king. And he was killed coz of what he did.
So, it is NOT rooted from Islamic values. Yes, you are right, so many muslim also celebrated it, coz probably they are not good followers or they just dont know the story behind it.
Well, it's then back to everyone choice how to life their life. If you are muslim, and curious about this Valentine's day things, ask Islamic Scholar, then make your mind what you should do.
Focusing more on the question in point, I can say that there are forms of expressing love that are religiously acceptable, while there are others that are not religiously acceptable. Among the forms of love that are religiously acceptable are those that include the love for Prophets and Messengers. It stands to reason that the love for Allah, and His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) should have the top priority over all other forms of love.
Islam does recognize happy occasions that bring people closer to one another, and add spice to their lives. However, Islam goes against blindly imitating the West regarding a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day. Hence, commemorating that special day known as the Valentine’s Day is an innovation or bid`ah that has no religious backing. Every innovation of that kind is rejected, as far as Islam is concerned. Islam requires all Muslims to love one another all over the whole year, and reducing the whole year to a single day is totally rejected.
Hence, we Muslims ought not to follow in the footsteps of such innovations and superstitions that are common in what is known as the Valentine’s Day. No doubt that there are many irreligious practices that occur on that day, and those practices are capable of dissuading people from the true meanings of love and altruism to the extent that the celebration is reduced to a moral decline.
because not all muslims follow islam strictly... because they want to live normal life, like the rest of the world, and to enjoy such small UNHARMFUL things like celebrating Valentine's... does this celebration HURT someone?? Is it harmful for your body? Mind? Your neighbours? Your close ones? Why not to celebrate it? Why not to surprise your beloved one with a little gift, or with some extra attention? WHAT’s WRONG WITH THAT? Where in Islam said that it is haram to love and to express your love??
Let people live their life the way they want. One can only choose path of life for himself. Better not interfere in other's matters and way of life. LIVE AND LET LIVE.

I guess u r generalising..
Dude As long as we mind our own self, thats more than suffucient rather than bothering about what other do n dont..!
Like Valentine's day, Islam does not allow you to talk on a mobile phone....or drive a car.....or fly in a plane, yet still we do.
Do not do anything which Islam has said no. Other things are allowed as long as it does not conflict with the teachings of Islam.
Valentine's day should be ok as long as nothing illegal or immoral is done.
Islam is not allowing like this celebration,

Since Valentinus was a Christian saint, I wouldn't think so.

Quoted by Dr. Su'ad Ibrahim Salih
Don't know.. but good business in muslim countries now a days..:)
* Islam does not allow drinking, gambling, adultery, fornication, theft but there are many people who profess Islam who may fall into this.
* Why some muslims are celebrating valentines day, probably they are misinformed, or they just dont know that it is not allowed.
* We can just pray that Allah guides us all to the straight path.
