Happy Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine’s Day. 

I was trying to search thru the internet to find out how do you wish a person Happy Valentine’s Day in different languages, I had an interesting find.

I came across a blog from blogspot.com.  There is this particular entry which was made by someone, whom I believe is a Muslim, regarding whether “Is It Permissible for Muslims to Celebrate Valentine’s Day.”

Is a very long entry so I would not cut n paste everything here , plus is not nice to leech other people’s blog n make it my own, so I will just summarize it.

The 1st part of the blog was about how Valentine’s Day came about and its link to Christianity during the Roman times and also how it was celebrated and its customs and also how it was link to fornication and adultery and also how it corrupted the young men and women..etc, etc… I did not know it can corrupt people’s mind.. OMG.

(Reminds me of history lessons, LOL !! )

The 2nd part was about how the Islam view Valentine’s Day and why Muslims are not allowed to celebrate such a day.   So in my understanding, Muslims should celebrate only Hari Raya and Puasa and other Muslim festivals.

I hope I am not offending any Muslims here, because I am NOT trying to ridicule or to overthrow such a ruling.  I am a free thinker but I strongly believe any religion will teach good things to its believers.   I truly respect that.

But what I am about to share now are purely my own opinions :-

  1. Valentine’s Day is just like any other day, but the only difference is some people lose money, some people earn money.
  2. You can show your love ones how you care and love them, though you can do that any other days, but some people need a reason or rather a good reason, you know what I mean.
  3. Valentine’s Day is also a day you can spend with your friends and have a wonderful time.

 
I am not sure if you all will totally agree with me.  And I must emphasize I m not here to corrupt anybody’s mind or religion OK.

 
Valentine’s Day is just a simple day and if you are happy with your love ones or friends, every day is a Valentine’s Day.

So Happy Valentine’s Day to all my family & friends !!!
