Valentine’s Day is back with its annual controversy: Should we- Muslims- or should we not celebrate it.

Those who go for its celebration, argue that it’s an occasion to celebrate love in its wide form. Our love for spouses as well as our love for families, relatives, friends, neighbors,…etc. And how can expressing noble emotions like love be haram?

 On the other hand, those who oppose celebrating Valentine’s Day argue that it’s a western non-Islamic tradition that is basically about celebrating love between unmarried couples, as we see around us. Moreover, it has a Christian origin, so, how can we celebrate such occasion of a religious significance?
