VALENTINES DAY-THE DISASTER
dear brothers & sisters!
As we know 14th February is celebrated as Valentines day.
According to history in 270A.D a person known as Mr.valentine use to arrange marriages secretly for youngsters who where indulged in so called love(ishqq) & the parents not happy with the relationship.When the ruler of that time roman emperor Claudius II came to know about these secret activities of Mr. valentine,he noticed that the atmosphere of the state is getting vulgar,and being a responsible ruler of the nation he ordered to hang Mr. valentine.Later some Christians priests gave Mr.valentine the title of martyr(shaheed) & in his memory every year on 14th feb,the day is celebrated as Valentines day by making atmosphere vulgar with yellow & red flowers.
A criminal is punished for his sins,but others instead of taking lesson from it,they are celebrating in his memory.
THIS IS TRUTH BEHIND VALENTINES DAY.
What is valentines day???
You may answer “A day full of love,love & love” .But do we know what love is?

Redefining Valentine's Day
Redefining Valentine's Day
It should be a day that you dedicate to others, to the ones you love, and they, in return, will make their day about you. Sometimes it requires taking a step back and making this day about others so that we can benefit from their happiness. Valentine’s Day should be exactly what you want it to be.

Published February 14, 2010
When did Valentine’s Day turn into such a sad and complicated day for so many people? Indeed, it seems to be a depressing day for those who don’t have a significant other. This holiday has been heavily commercialized as a day for couples only. I, however, grew up believing that Valentine’s Day is “el día del amor y la amistad”—the day of love and friendship. Having this perspective, I believe, is the best way to think of this holiday because you will always have a reason to celebrate this.Even though many people say that every day should be the day of love and friendship, we have to admit that our routines sometimes do not allow us to appreciate the friends and partners we have. Therefore, it is nice to have a day that you can dedicate to your friends and significant others. Valentine’s Day should be a day in which you celebrate friendship and all types of love. It should be a day that you dedicate to others, to the ones you love, and they, in return, will make their day about you. Sometimes it requires taking a step back and making this day about others so that we can benefit from their happiness. Valentine’s Day should be exactly what you want it to be.

Story of Valentines day
Celebrating Valentine's Day
Praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.
Allaah 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]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that groups of his ummah would follow the enemies of Allaah in some of their rituals and customs, as it says in the hadeeth of Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him), who narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, span by span, cubit by cubit, until even if they were to enter a lizard's hole, you would follow them." We said, "O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and Christians?" He said, "Who else?!"
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari in al-I'tisaam bi'l-Kitaab wa'l-Sunnah, Baab Qawl al-Nabi (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) La tattabi'unna Sanan man kaana qablakum, 8/151; and by Muslim in Kitaab al-'Ilm, Baab Ittibaa' Sanan al-Yahood wa'l-Nasaara, 4/2054)

Students Islamic Organisation of India is working since last 28 years to prepare students and youth for the benefits of society under "divine
guidance". It requests students and youth community to celebrate February14, 2010 as *Brotherhood day* instead of Valentine's Day. The Valentine's
Day is basically modern concept of showing emotions between girls and boys,which is actually a tool of satan to spread a immorality among them. This not only indulge our youth in destruction of values but also it promotes commercialization of emotions, wherein they will judge the so-called "love"
using the amount their lover spend on them.
