What does celebrating "Valentines Day" really mean?
Where does this fit in a Muslims life?
In fact, does it even fit in it at all?
Looking at the Quraan and Sunnah, one should realize that we should not be celebrating it in the first place, because it is a celebration of the non-Muslims. Whatever we need to celebrate has been prescribed to us by Allaah and His Messenger (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) and it is prohibited to celebrate anything else.
That is why And Allaah said:
"For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies which they must follow."
[Surah al-Hajj:67]
Let us see what some of these differences are:
1. Allaah commands us to lower our gaze and not look at the opposite gender.

But Valentines Day encourages people to deliberately look and stare and seek out the one that you find attractive and pick him/her as your valentine.
2. Allaah orders the Muslim women not to talk unnecessarily or in a soft manner to strange men.
