This is an old poem I wrote back in 2008 and I thought I would repost it here for the benefit of readers.
by Ahmed
Valentine’s day is here
it’s the same each year
we are hit in the pocket
people dash last minute to the supermarket
to buy their loved one a gift
so they can have a temporary lift
and then the day is gone
as quickly as the dawn
and it’s back to reality for all
til next year valentines call
good mood and emotions consigned to the past
all year they could never last
stop copying Bill, Freda, and Ted
why don’t we instead do what Islam said
Your situation does assess
Read about how marriage in Islam is blessed
and follow the prophetic example
Sunnahs to follow, so ample
Realize that valentines are just a trick
simply another scheme to get rich quickly!

Wasalam
