Destruction from Valentines Day!

[Ghulam e Azhari]

Destruction from the Valentines Day:

 

Best young person:

 

The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said “best young person among you is one who lives like an old person, and bitterest old person is one who lives like a youthful” (Anees-ul-Wa’izeen).

 

 

Death doesn’t consider young age:

 

A young person should have this capability that he/her should consider as if he/she is an old person; and consider that the death is near. Satan expresses the evil thoughts to the young people such as “so far you are just young! This is the time for your enjoyment. You rather perform your religious duties when you will get old, then you can pray not only the obligatory Salaah (Namaaz) but Salaah of Tahajjud as well and perform many pilgrimages, but not now”. Therefore, young people should always keep this conception in mind that death can occur on any time and death doesn’t consider youth ages. Whosever's time finishes, he/she passes away. Didn’t you see those cute little buds which were taken away by death even before they didn’t become proper buds? Didn’t see young people dying? Being proud of the young age previously but then afterwards buried in the sand, his beauty and youthfulness destroyed with the sand, worms mounded to his beautiful cheeks, the silky hear fell down, anger and dignity all destroyed in the sand. Therefore, age of youth is a gift; we should understand its value and should try to spend it in worshiping Allah and not in pride.

 

 

Call by the Angels:

 

The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “every day an angel proclaims “O youthful! Do not waste your age of youth, or else (you will) suffer.”

 

 

Nothing will be under possession:

 

The age of youth reminds the person, after wasting it away, and the mind criticizes that you wasted your age of youth in the worldly colours and comfort and shamelessness and with evil friends; but nothing but agony is in your hands.

 

 

Repentance of youthful:

 

The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “One rak’at of Salaah performed by a youthful is better than that of ten rakaa’at performed by an old person, and Allah keeps the repentance of youthful as friend/accepted.”

 

 

Prayers of young and that of olders:

 

Respected youthful brothers! Lower your head and see you heart and just think that the prayers in age of youth are very sacred. Old aged person performs prayers, for sure, and repentance as well; prays for this reason that the person has got no other activity to pass the time. Youngsters get married and get busy with their wives and children but nobody is ready to sit beside that old person, he has no ability to do any work. That innocent takes support from the Masjid, reads Salaah and Qur’an, and performs prayer of Tahajjud if he can’t sleep. He is compelled to do all these prayers, but young person has got courage and power, sleep overcomes on him, communications with friends, pile of money, has many kinds of wishes; if he sacrifices all these and pray to his God, then Allah becomes very happy that he left the sinful life of young age and went in the direction of repentance to Allah. To him Allah says “I keep him as my friend”; therefore thank Allah for the gift of young age. It is the struggle of Satan that somehow his young age gets ruined, and suggests him many evil plans/programmes. Valentines Day is also one of the ways to destruction of young age, that young people celebrate Valentines Day and destroys their age of youth and then nothing but suffering.

 

 

What is Valentines Day?

 

This day is identified by the person named Saint Valentine in Rome. At that time Rome was busy in many wars, a time came when there were little number males left in the army of Rome. One of the reasons was that the males didn’t like leaving their family away and going to wars. The kind therefore give a solution to this problem that he banned the marriage for a certain period of time so that the youthful aged people get in the army. In this condition, Saint Valentine and his friend Saint Marls then planned and organized to marriage the youthful couples. There this secret process became no more hidden. So, with the order of the king Valentine was arrested, killed him after torturing him on 14^th of Feb 269 AD. Therefore, 14^th Feb was made respected, honoured and sacred day in the remembrance of Saint Valentine.

 

Similarly, there is one more incident which says that an honoured person named Saint Valentine was in Britain who was killed due to keeping faith in Christianity. It is said that during his jail, he was fallen in love with the daughter of the jailer and used to write letters to her. This day was celebrated as condolence till 4^th century, and then gradually this day was gained the status of remembrance of love, and sending of love letters, messages, cards and red flowers became a tradition.

 

 

Spoon, Heart and Key of love:

 

After encouragement from the Britain, it was celebrated in America and Germany, in Germany, however, this tradition was not present till the 2^nd World War. In Britain, to give the wooden spoons were given as gifts, those were shaped and keys and hearts were decorated on it for beauty. This was a sign to the accepters of the gifts “you can open my heart with the key of your love”.

 

Now this tradition is celebrated by the Muslims. Now, young Muslim boys and girls too belief this day to be the day of love. The intention of telling the history of Valentines Day was that this day has not importance in Islam; we are the people of Allah and nation of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). We should remember and respect the days which we are given, we should spend the special periods, and special months of Muslims in try making Allah pleased to us. The young person shows love to his loved one by giving flowers and cards, this apparent and temporary love will not be beneficial. Today, the young people present to their temporary loved ones in attractive verdicts such as “you look very beautiful, I can do everything for you”, the lovers even leave their parents by the order of their loved ones.

 

 

Incident:

 

A boy was fallen in love with a girl; gradually the love kept on increasing and announced his love to her. As a test, the girl asked “you love me?” the boy replied “yes”. The girl then said “I will belief only if you bring the heart of your mother out from her chests”. That mad boy became blind in the love of that girl, he didn’t think anything, went and pushed his mother down and stabbed her and took out her heart, mother died. He then went to his loved girl and presented to her the heart of his mother. When she saw this, she became afraid and ran away saying “O nonsense! When you couldn’t be of your own mother, then how can you be of mine?”

 

You see! Young people of today are also seems performing the same things, if can’t take mother’s heart out, but tears her heart for loved ones. The mother, who brings her child up with her blood, who suckles milk to her child, who protects from hot and cold surroundings, who takes cares of child’s health; when that child grows adult, desires of her mother also grows that wishes that her son will be my support in my old age. The same boy then leaves his parents and obeys her loved girl, and how can this loved girl respect this boy when she could not to her own parents? Therefore, this temporary love has completely negative. The real love is of Allah and his beloved Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

 

Al-Qur’an:

 

'O beloved! Say you, 'O people! If you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (Surah Aal-Imraan, 3:31)

 

 

A unique lover:

 

Now read an incident of a lover which will refresh the faith.

 

The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pass from the streets where some profligate boys used to sit in his way and they used to make fun of the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), but he never said anything to them. Once he turned and looked behind those boys, a boy’s fortune turned bright the moment holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked at him, then the holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) returned. The boy became lover of his beauty and character. After that, he used to come and await the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon) on the same place, the boy used to get calmness by seeing him. Day by day his restlessness in love kept growing. He could, however, not tell his love to anyone because he was son of the chief of the disbelievers. Subsequently, he fell extremely ill; the doctors could not identify the sickness. At last, the patient was near to die, the doctors advised to fulfil his last desire. The father came to his son and asked as to what was his desire, he replied “You will not be able to fulfil my desire”; but the father said “I will surely fulfil your last desire”. Then the boy said “Call the holy Prophet”; the father then became unpleased, still he had to fulfil his son’s last desire. So, he the father gave the order to send the message to the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood beside him, the boy opened his eyes and saw him and said suddenly “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! You let me read the Kalima”. The boy read Kalimah, and then passed away while keeping the focus on the holy Prophet’s face in his eyes. That lover’s father said to the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) “O Messenger of Allah! Since he died when being in your religion, so you take care of his Ghusl (bath) and coffin. The Companions of the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave him bath and prepared coffin. The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to him for the funeral prayers by walking on his toes as if there were too much crowd. The Companions asked the reason for this while there was quite enough space to walk, the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) “This died person used to live in my love and died in my love, therefore countless angels have come for his funeral prayers and there is not place in the streets of Madinah”.

 

 

The successful person:

 

This incident must’ve made got pleasure by reading about the boy who lived in love and died in love. The worldly beauty leads to loss. Love your wife, children, friends, relatives, parents, and teachers but don’t make a heart contact with them. Accordingly, when a child used to get born of Hazrat Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) took place, he used to love his child very much. People asked him that you love the creations very much, so he replied “I love them so that tomorrow when they will die, I will tolerate it and so Allah will reward me”. It is summary of a narration of the holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said “None of you will become a true believer unless he loves me more that his mother, father, children and even your own life.” So perform the real love, and don’t waste your youthful age in the fake love. Valentines Day is not an Islamic day, nor is it an Islamic celebration about which you read previously. On the day of Valentines, boys and girls send cards and flowers to each other, and gradually the matter grows and they start meeting each other. The holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “Where there are males and females together (Na-Mahram) there is Satan the third person.” Then the extreme destruction starts. The centre of all the days of happiness is Eid Meelad-un-Nabi (peace and blessings be upon him), instead of 14 February, celebrate the 12^th of Rabi-ul-Awwal as the day of love, and celebrate it with the accordance of Shari’ah.

 

May Allah allow us to understand the true faith, and grand us protection from the wrong celebrations.
