Coming to the point now, as the question is asked about Valentine’s day, that’s why first of all, especially the historic background and evils performed on this day will be mentioned. So, the reality of this day that is full of evils, can be revealed upon Muslims. Therefore, it is said that there was a priest named Valentine who used to live under the rule of the Roman emperor, Claudius the second, in the third century A.D. Due to some disobedience, the emperor imprisoned him. The priest and the daughter of jailer both fell in love with each other. To the extent that the daughter of jailer even left her religion and accepted the religion of the priest. Now she would come every day to meet the priest with a red rose. When the emperor came to know about this, he ordered the priest to be hanged. When the priest found out that the emperor has sentenced him to be hanged, he intended to spend his last moments with the one he had fallen in love with. For this, he sent a card to his beloved, on which was inscribed ‘from your sincere Valentine.’ Ultimately, that priest was hanged on 14th February. Since then, every 14th February is celebrated as a symbol of love on the name of that priest as the Valentine’s day.
