"Valentine" became a familiar term and referred to the momentum of the popular February 14. Momentum keeps separate values for those who celebrate it. Thus not infrequently February 14 actualized as a special celebration each year. Starting with a special gift packaging, cast saying "Happy Valentine", to hold a big celebration like a wedding reception. This is considered reasonable for a momentum that "privileged".
However, the fairness of the celebration of Valentine's being debated, even inviting warm conversation, when Islam took part for the privilege of this celebration. Valentine is believed to be a culture born of the Christian religion has involved the greater part of the Islamic youth to celebrate. It is considered one that gave birth to the claim of "unlawful" for Muslims who celebrate it.
Ironically, the fatwa "unlawful" for Valentine's Day celebration for Muslims, not even making Muslims (especially teenagers) to leave this Valentine celebration of culture, but on the contrary, the celebration actually ingrained and "grounded" in Islamic society in general. Is it because the doctrine is an "independent reasoning" that the new law lacks clarity as other life issues, he explained fatwa "illegitimate" for the celebration of Valentine's Day is less likely to have "generic sense", which in turn makes it less ignored fatwa.
History of Valentine's vagueness Unlike the other big days such as December 25 as Christmas day, or 12 Rabi 'al-Awal, which is Muhammad's birthday, February 14 actually has a "vague history" as a great day. Most people call this a day of "love", but no concrete foundation and argumentative kebenarannya.Menurut to refute the Catholic Encyclopedia (Catholic Encyclopaedia 1908), a term adapted from Valentine that the name "Valentine" at least refers to the three martyrs or saints (a saint) is different, namely: a priest in Rome, a bishop Interamna, and a martyr in the Roman province of Africa. The connection between these three martyrs of the celebration of love does not have a clear historical record. Even Pope Gelasius II in 496 AD stated that in fact nothing is known of this martyr of the third. February 14 is celebrated as a saint Valentine warning as an attempt to surpass the holiday Lupercalica (god of fertility) that was celebrated on February 15.

Rejection of Islam and Valentine's argument. Of various colors and shapes throughout the actualization of the celebration of Valentine's Day around the world, Islam actually exists as an institution that rejected the celebration of Valentine's Day. Saudi Arabia for example, as an area considered Muslims throughout the world mecca, has been forbidden for Muslims Valentine as valued as the Christian celebration full of disbelief.

And with no apparent reason, Muslims in Indonesia (in general) as Muslims countries in the world, has made Valentine a portion that must be celebrated every year (especially for teenagers). Perhaps there is truth "stupid philosophy" which mentions " laws made to be broken ", so with Valentine immediately have the claim of" unlawful "for Muslims familiarizing yourself so freely. Shari'a seems less applicable in this level. Or is it the Shari'a is nothing more than a set of rules that bound the space and time, and confined to particular circumstances, so the celebration of Valentine's Day may be "changing faces" in the perspective of Islamic law in accordance with the situation. As defense rational thinker, that no statement qathi (obviously) in the Qur'an and hadith to ban Valentine's Day celebration, though it is not a culture born of Islam itself.
Seeing the fact that the celebration of Valentine's Day amid the lush Islamic community (especially Indonesia), seems to necessary laws to bring a new argument that is more generic and have meanings independent of the exclusive attitude that emphasizes the principle that Valentine was born of Christian doctrine. In other words, although not found in the literature other than the Christian literature that is able to Valentine's history, and it indicates that Valentine could not be denied as a culture that comes from Christianity, there continue to be the exclusive value that would be born if Muslims reject the celebrations on the grounds it. 

Perhaps, more rational reasons to reject the universal celebration of Valentine's Day is for Muslims to ask the question: to what Valentine's Day celebrated?; Beralasankah enough declared February 14 as a day of love?. So the question presents itself will not answer that other Valentine's Day is celebrated to commemorate the saint Valentine who only existed in the Christian belief. Therefore, less appropriate if the Muslims celebrated Valentine's Day with a reason to celebrate the day participate affection. In fact, Christian institution that sendri as propaganda to start the celebrations, never remove the calendar from the church calendar with historical reasons that are not clear. Very naive if Muslims who notabenenya "go-ilutan" became vigur the most "diligent" is celebrating Valentine's Day.
