Nizam A. Khan Addresses Press in Hyderabad\u201d"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Hyderabad, 13 February 2026:<\/strong> In a detailed and strongly worded press conference held in Hyderabad<\/strong>, noted advocate Adv. Nizam A. Khan<\/strong> reiterated his opposition to the celebration of Valentine\u2019s Day, describing it as \u201cun-Islamic, culturally incompatible, and ethically harmful to the moral fabric of society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing members of the media, Adv. Nizam A. Khan grounded his position firmly in the Qur\u2019an and authentic Hadith, emphasizing that Islam lays down clear guidelines regarding modesty, interaction between non-mahram men and women, and preservation of chastity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qur\u2019anic Guidance on Modesty and Lowering the Gaze<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adv. Nizam A. Khan cited verses from the Qur’an<\/strong> to underline Islam\u2019s emphasis on modest conduct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts; that is purer for them.\u201d<\/strong>
(Surah An-Nur 24:30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not to display their adornment\u2026\u201d <\/strong>(Surah An-Nur 24:31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that these verses establish the foundational principle of haya (modesty) in Islam. \u201cLowering the gaze is not merely physical; it is a discipline of the heart and mind. Any occasion that encourages free mixing, romantic expression, or attraction outside marriage directly contradicts these commands,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also referenced: \u201cDo not approach zina (fornication). Indeed, it is an immorality and an evil way.\u201d <\/strong>(Surah Al-Isra 17:32)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Adv. Nizam A. Khan, Islam does not merely prohibit immoral acts but blocks all pathways that may lead toward them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hadith on Interaction with Non-Mahram<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Citing authentic narrations from Sahih al-Bukhari<\/strong> and Sahih Muslim<\/strong>, Adv. Nizam A. Khan highlighted prophetic teachings regarding interaction with non-mahram individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: \u201cNo man is alone with a woman except that Shaytan is the third among them.\u201d <\/strong>(Tirmidhi)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also cited the well-known narration: \u201cIt is better for one of you to be struck on the head with an iron needle than to touch a woman who is not lawful for him.\u201d <\/strong>(Reported in Tabarani)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adv. Nizam A. Khan emphasized that Islam strictly prohibits physical contact between non-mahram men and women and discourages unnecessary interaction that may lead to temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further referenced the Prophet\u2019s statement: \u201cModesty is part of faith.\u201d <\/strong>(Bukhari & Muslim)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethical and Social Concerns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adv. Nizam A. Khan argued that celebrations like Valentine\u2019s Day normalize private romantic relationships in public spaces, which he described as \u201ccontrary to Islamic morality and social ethics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIslam honors love within marriage. The institution of Nikah protects dignity, lineage, and family structure. But promoting intimate relationships outside that framework weakens moral discipline,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further stated that Islam regulates speech as well: \u201cSo do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is disease should covet\u2026\u201d <\/strong>(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:32)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis verse shows that even tone and style of conversation between non-mahrams must be dignified and guarded,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appeal to Youth and Parents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adv. Nizam A. Khan urged the youth of India<\/strong> to reflect upon Islamic teachings before participating in such celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur youth must understand that Islam does not suppress emotions; it channels them lawfully. Love is honored in Islam \u2014 but through marriage, responsibility, and commitment,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also appealed to parents, scholars, and community leaders to educate young people about Islamic guidelines on modesty, interaction, and moral discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to Peaceful Awareness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Responding to media questions, Adv. Nizam A. Khan clarified that his position is rooted in religious belief and moral concern, and that any awareness campaign would remain lawful and peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe respect the Constitution and the law of the land. Our objective is awareness, not confrontation. We want our community to remain firm on Qur\u2019anic teachings and Prophetic guidance,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The press conference has sparked discussions across social circles in Hyderabad, with debates continuing over cultural identity, religious observance, and the influence of global trends on traditional values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
