Most Muslims who indulge in many alien cultured practices, these days,do not know what they ae doing. They are just blind folloers of their equally blind cultural leaders. Little do they realise that what they regard as innocent fun may in fact he rooted in paganism. That the symbols of they embrace may be symbols of unbelief. That the ideas they borrow may be products of superstition. And that all these may be negation of what Islam stands for.
Consider Valentine's Day, a day that after dying out a well deserved death in most of Europe-but surviving in Britain and the United States-has suddenly started to emerge across a swath of Muslim countries. Who was Valentine? Why is this day observed?
Legends abound, as they do in all such cases,but this much is clear: Valentine's Day began as a pagan ritual started by Romans in the 4th century BCE to honour Lupercus, 'the godof fertility and flocks' Its main attractions was a lottery held to distribute young women to young men for " entertainment and pleasure-until the next year's lottery.
