saw some posters on my way from Tanzeem Islami mentioning Valentine Day as promoting be-hayai and indecency in the society. Someone told that a religious organisation is going to celebrate hayaa (Modesty) day tomorrow.
What do you think about this approach? Isn’t it another way of promoting this Valentines day?
Whats with the media promoting such days as mega event? Is it commercialism or there is some saazish against our cultural values? 
Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
Haya day?? Do we really need just one day to show that we have got haya and we are celebrating it ? 
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
Haya day to counter be-hayai day 
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
Oh yeah.. Saw a post on fb.. its not about promoting or anything like that... its just to make people realise tht what doing is not our culture... celebrating haya day means showing this is what our culture is... and if they manage to do it in a proper way.. it will be a big tamacha on those people's face who forgot their values... forgot the difference between halaal and haraam...
^^ What is so 'haram' about valentines day?

Do you really know the meaning of Valentine day or you just celebrate because others are doing so..?
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
I don't 'celebrate' it because I find it utterly cheesy. But I don't think those who celebrate it by just making a little extra effort for their loved ones are doing anything haram.
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
there are 365 days in an year.. you can do whatever you want… then why only Valentine’s day… there are chaand raat as well… and talking about loved ones.. we love our parents too our siblings and kids too.. then why not flowers or gifts for them.. 
Please go search why do people celebrate valentine’s day.. whats the story behind it.. you will het your answer
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
Who said no one does it on any other day?
And I know the story behind it, but now its a totally commercialized holiday and there’s absolutely nothing kafir-like about exchanging something with your ‘halal’ partner. 
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
can a wife/ husband be each others Valentine after say 10-15 years of marriage?
Just a random thought after reading the term ‘halal partner’.
^ why not? I have cousins who have been married for over 15 years and they exchange flowers and stuff on valentines, anniversaries and birthdays.
Again, I thought it was all about our intentions? If my intentions are to worship some saint then that'd make it haram, no?

right. Its all about intentions and I don't think that anyone here in our part of the world celebrate it to worship the Saint. The probem is the way it is commercialised and given importance over our cultural values.
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
those who dont like it should just ignore it instead of giving importance to it by organizing islamic lectures or observing hayaa day…
Re: Valentines Day Vs Haya Day
In Pakistan, Musharaf’s enlightened moderation introduce and popularised such concepts. I remember when back in late 90s ‘Dil to Pagal hai’ was released, we didn’t a little idea whats Valentine Day (as they shown celebrating it in the movie).
Whats the status of this day in India? When people started celebrating it? Are there any groups who oppose celebrating it?
