whatever day they choose to do it

be it 14th Feb or any other day in the year

Well it would rather be wise to leave out the 14th Feb as this day is in fact we all know associated with christians and jews... and their eid.

and just like the jews fast on ashurah ,,,our prophet mohammed sallalahu alahi wasallam wanted to distinguish the muslims fast of ashurah from the jews so therfor he advised muslims to add another fast to the fast of ashura.

So to differentiate its best to leave it out.

Dukhtaran e Millat are a virtuous group. They should be assisted financially, morally and physically.

In the 1990's they led a campaign to increase veiling in the valley; and were succesful to a certain extent.

mashALLAH thats good.......

only never heard of them before

Whats so virtuous about vandalising and ruining the buisness of other Muslims?

[url=http://www.tkb.org/Group.jsp?groupID=4005]Dukhtaraan e Millat[/url]

It should be noted that this link is not entirely reliable but it puts across two main points; these are believing muslim women who are strong on veiling and that they support the mujahideen contrary to indian propoganda.

This group promote virtue and prevent vice. They are against gambling stations, alcohol stands, lewd literature and are for a return to true islamic values. That seems good to me.

You shouldnt just concentrate on the negative points....

They could be classed as virtuous as they successfully got alot of ladies to do the veil like Adil mentioned.

This thread is discussing vandalising other Muslim’s businesses.

If they have managed to get a lot of ladies to veil then may Allah (swt) reward them.

However, if they did vandalise, then there is no "virtue" in such a act.

I'm not sure what to make of this group...its the first time I've heard of it. :?

Never one to shy away from controversy, Andrabi has expressed support for Osama bin-Laden, the Taliban, attacks on women not wearing Islamic dress, and generally anything she deems to be un-Islamic. In 1993, Andrabi was jailed for a year with her son for “anti-national activities.”

In September 2005, Andrabi was arrested again and sentenced to two years in jail for allegedly beating a woman who was sitting with a man in a restaurant (the man was the victim’s husband.) Andrabi’s detention has caused widespread outrage and protest in Kashmir, and it remains to be seen whether she will serve her full term.

She needs to realise the diference between civic duties and personal duties...

Ahh the things people do when they are completely convinced of their virtuousness.

I think that's why people beat up on gays so much. Obviously if you are straight you aren't gay, and gay people are quite ostentatious - so to make up for our ten thousand other indiscretions in a day we point out the freak in the group and throw fruit at them.

Back to topic:

I never really liked Valentines Day - anybody here like it? It seems incredibly tacky and just a bit too overdone.

Same with its illegitimate half brother "sweetest day"

Salam

beating up women and destroying buisness's is pretty BAD to me

Ok too you your thinking....

and LilSis i did not say what they did was a good thing, i refer you too my other posts.

They have done some good for deen so therefor arent classed all 'BAD' by me.

Do try understanding posts pls

I don't care if they burn valentines cards, or any greeting cards as long as they pay for them first. Did the ladies pay for them? Crime is a sin, and no matter how good their intentions may have been they didn't display the virtue of their characters by storming into a property, taking things without paying for them. Anybody else would get a criminal record for theft, and harrassment of staff and customers, why should these women be treated any differently.

I don't agree with the concept of valentines days simply because of it's origins, but i wouldn't encourage others to go around burning all the cards in clintons or whsmith :roll: Pakistan isn't an islamic state, they can sell whatever cards they choose. I;m sure there's a lot of other filth on the market, that spoils youth over there. Rather than burning cards the women should concentrate on getting parents to give their kids the correct islamic teachings, so they don't feel the need to give the opp gender valentine cards in the first place, don't you think?

Everything is in a context.

DeM are active in the occupied valley not pakistan.

Very good post sis

It true muslim do seem to have become reactionary people. Trying to send these statement out, does more damage then good. How could you act like you serving or doing something for Allah swt and in the process break and show a disregard for the law and his commands.

Yes muslims shouldn't really be taking part in Valentine Day, but it is better tackling the reason why they do, now if the parent are sitting down in the evening to watch a bollywood love film with their children, can we really be surprise it happening.

Anyway i better stop repeating everything the sister has mention :oops:

wow.....im surprised at how many muslims actually celebrate valentines :shock:

U should see the call-in programmes on the asian channels :shock:

i had not come across valentines specials before.

So not impressed.

True they should give each other valintine gift to each other!!

Salam

Yesterday my cousins said they were coming around.

On arrival, I gave one of them a box of milk chocolates.

I knew she loves them. It was Valentine's Day. So she thought it was something to do with that.

We all talked about the usual gossip and then discussed cartoons.

She was busy munching away on the sweets.

Later on I revealed to my brother that the box was intended to keep her mouth shut during the discussions.

Do you think that was cruel ?

Omrow

It was genuinely cruel to say that about her to your brother. It was nice of you to occupy her with such a sweet gift, and you shouldn't believe what you told yourself about her. You can take these, I've upgraded (again :roll: ):

No but it does change the nature of your talk from a discussion to a lecture.
