Written by: Al-Shaykh Hafiz Muhammad Yunus, may Allah bless him and grant him peace

International Day of Indecency 

The International Day of Love, also known as Valentine's Day, is celebrated every year on February 14 at official and unofficial levels around the world. It is also called Lovers Festival. This day cannot be called a day of love in any way, the fact is that it is not a day of love but of sowing the seeds of hatred because everything that happens on this day ends in hatred instead of love, and It is the International Day of Indecency and Nudity, the basis of this day has a negative side, it is said that a priest named Valentine, when he fell in love with a nun, enticed her to sin by saying that February 14 Whatever we do will not be a sin and the nun came to the priest's point and both of them were guilty of this sin, of course it was such immorality that no nation and nation can accept and they were killed for this sin. (There are more stories related to Valentine's Day) (Later, people suffering from the same disease started celebrating this day, as if celebrating and promoting this day would indicate your thoughts and your mood. Yes, the religion of Islam is against this work, the Christian pastors also gathered together and strongly condemned this day in 2016, so its permission in the religion of Islam is a far-fetched thing, it is not possible for any modest person or woman to accept it. .

Humility Day in Pakistan

On this day in 2019, a good initiative was taken by some people on the same day, to discourage the shameless evil-minded people and to strongly condemn this day, the Day of Modesty was celebrated with great vigor on the same day. .

Condemned People:

On the other hand, it is a pity for those people who want to emphasize on the celebration of such auspicious days and modesty, they also perform the "duty" of promoting it in some slow language or encouraging such misguided people. For example, a famous columnist and journalist, while writing about this, introduces this day in a way that "to increase the happiness of lovers and to provide a traditional opportunity to express love, ``Valentine's Day'' then It is said that these sentences are telling what kind of disease they are suffering from and what kind of publicity they want, even though it is controversial by mentioning it in a very cursory manner at the end of being a "Mean Roo". They also get "honour". But the question is that immorality is not controversial for any Muslim, modesty is related to Islam in such a way that it was declared as part of the faith, when such basic qualities which are an essential part of Islamic morality, are controversial. What will be left if an attempt is made?

Muslim youth and Valentine's Day

In particular, there is a place of surprise with regard to those Muslims who call themselves Muslims with great joy and pride, but keeping Islamic ethics aside, they want to celebrate such a day based on indecency, obscenity and nudity, with only one behind them. For this purpose, and even if he wants to satisfy his lust, he has to reach the last limits of debauchery, for the advice of such people, some arguments are being presented which will show how much modesty is in the religion of Islam. It is a great position and how much are the losses of immorality.

All the Prophets, the Salaf, the Pious Saints, were modest:

All the Prophets, the righteous, the Saints of Allah were figures of modesty, one of the sayings of all the Prophets is "When you have no modesty, then do whatever you want." (Bukhari)

The relationship between modesty and faith:

In a hadith, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Modesty is a part of faith" (Bukhari Muslim). Rather, in a hadith, he even said: "Modesty and faith are two partners. If one of them goes away, the other will go automatically." Is. "

Ethics and Modesty of Islam:

Regarding the religion of Islam, he clearly said that "Every religion has its own morals, the morals of Islam are based on modesty." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

The relationship between modesty and goodness:

In a hadith, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There is good in modesty. (Sahih Muslim)

Disadvantages of Indecency:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Modesty makes it beautiful in which it enters, and makes it ugly if it enters indecency.” "(Jami'i at-Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Majah)

The summary is that in the light of these arguments, the Muslim status of modesty, its relationship with Islam becomes clear, now any custom or work, which is against it or affects it, is illegal and sinful, and Regarding major sins, this problem should be kept in mind that the faith of the one who denies major sins and declares them as halal is in danger. Therefore, Valentine's Day cannot be declared as a controversial, different fiya, but it is unanimously forbidden and illegal according to Islamic arguments.
