Valentine Not for Muslims

Muslims leaders have warned the faithful against celebrating Valentine's Day.

"As Muslims, we should not participate in such days. This day has never been recognised in the Quran. The activities involved are against the teachings of Islam.

So we advise Muslim faithful to avoid indulging in this day celebration," the leader of Imams, Nuhu Muzaata, told The New Vision yesterday.

"The day has never been our day and has no meaning to us. Parents should warn their children against celebrating this day," the head of Tabliq Muslims, Suleiman Kakeeto said.
