Hari bapa sedunia telah pun lepas Sebagaimana yang kita sedia maklum, sebagaimana yang diiklankan di media masa tertutama Televisyen  Hari bapa jatuh pada 21 June 2009- bersamaan Ahad ketiga dalam bulan Jun bagi negara-negara berikut: Malaysia, Amerika Syarikat, Afrika Selatan, Argentina, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Belanda, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Cyprus, Filipina, Greece, Guyana, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Jamaica, Jepun, Kanada, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Perancis, Peru, Puerto Rico, Singapura, Slovakia, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Trinidad dan Tobago, Turki, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Zimbabwe.

Hari bapa adalah satu hari yang dikhaskan kepada semua bapa – bapa di seluruh dunia. Bertuahlah bagi sesiapa yang telah menjadi bapa kerana anda telah diberikan satu hari untuk diiktiraf .. dikasihi daripada 364 hari yang lain. Persoalannya wajarkah kita menyambut hari bapa yang konon kononnya satu hari ini?. Kenapakah negara-negara barat mencanangkan kepada semua negara lain termasuk negara islam supaya menyambut hari bapa.. hari ibu .. hari lahir dan sebagainya? Apakah motif sebenarnya? Kita biasanya menerima apa-apa sahaja atas nama kasih sayang atau pun kebajikan .. tanpa memikirkan apakah matlamat dan tujuan sebenarnya. Saya tertarik dalam satu thread di singapore Muslim forum dimana seorang forumer menyatakan hakikat sebenar tentang hari -hari yang disambut secara meriahnya di negara Islam seperti hari Lahir, hari Ibu, Hari bapa dan hari Valentine.

Berikut adalah sebahagian dari kenyataan beliau

“Hari Lahir ( Birthday )
Satu lagi Hari yg dah mcm jadi kemestian dlm setiap keluarga melayu Islam.Siap nyanyi, tiup lilin lagik..

Sejarah Sambutan Hari Lahir

Religious

Judaism
In Judaism, the perspective on birthday celebrations is disputed by various rabbis.[1] In the Hebrew Bible, the one single mention of a celebration being held in commemoration of someone’s day of birth is for the Egyptian Pharaoh,[2] while Leviticus 18:1-3 states “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, I am the LORD your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived”.

The bar mitzvah of 13-year-old Jewish boys, or bat mitzvah for 12-year-old Jewish girls, is perhaps the only Jewish celebration undertaken in what is often perceived to be in conjunction with a birthday. However, the essence of a bar/bat mitzvah celebration is entirely religious in origin (i.e. the attainment of religious maturity according to Jewish law) and not secular, despite modern celebrations where the secular “birthday” element often overshadows the essence of it as a religious rite. With or without the “birthday” celebration, the child nevertheless becomes a bar or bat mitzvah, and the celebration can be on that day or any date after it.

[edit] Christianity
Since the foundation of Christianity historically lies in Judaism, if there is a stance against the celebration of birthdays, it often mirrors the Jewish religious arguments. Few branches of Christianity, however, actually hold any official stance in regards to birthdays, be it in favour or against. Orthodox Christianity prefers the celebration of name days only, though it is not because of any active theologically-based prohibition or discouragement. Some Christian communities, especially in the Hispanosphere, celebrate both naming days and birthdays. It is Jehovah’s Witnesses that do not celebrate birthdays at all, actively discouraging or prohibiting it. They point to the birthday celebrations in the Bible for Pharaoh and for Herod, the latter being the occasion for the beheading of John the Baptist.

In the branches of Christianity where there is active discouragement or prohibition against birthdays, by default, this also affects their stance in regards to Christmas. After all, in its religiously-presented form, Christmas is the conmemoration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, that is, a birthday celebration for Jesus. Hence, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not espouse the celebration of Christmas either, although additional theological arguments are also cited. Because of the very existence of Christmas as an integral celebration espoused by most branches of modern Christianity, it could be argued that this constitutes implicit acceptance of birthdays, contrary to this, it might put into question the legitimacy of Christmas altogether.

Islam
In Islam, Sunni and Muslim scholars oppose birthdays. This stance stems from the Hadith which forbids the adoption of festivities and occasions of other religions or paganism into Islam.

Islam kita bermanhaj kan Al Quran dan Sunnah kan, seperti yg di sabda kan Nabi saw.

Hari Ibu ( Mothers day )

Religion
In Catholic religions, the holiday is strongly associated to reverencing the Virgin Mary.[14]

In Hindu tradition it is called “Mata Tirtha Aunshi” or “Mother Pilgrimage fortnight”, and it is celebrated in countries with Hindu population, specially in Nepal.

Hari Bapa ( Fathers Day )

International history and traditions
In a few Catholic countries, it is celebrated on the Feast of St. Joseph.

In Islam ???? Ada ke?? Islam mendidik kita menghormati Ibu / bapahari2, menaikkan darjat se orang Ibu dgn begitu tinggi sekali, setiap hari dgn tersenyum,berdoa dan tidak meninggikan suara pada Ibu itu dah lebih dari cukup utk menghiburkan dan buat ibu… bahagia… Nak beri hadiah tanda kasih, tiap2 bulan pun boleh, Indah Islam…

Abi Bakrah radhiallahu ‘anh berkata, Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam pernah bertanya tiga kali:

“Mahukah aku memberitahu kalian tentang dosa yang paling besar?”

Mereka (para sahabat) menjawab: “Sudah tentu wahai Rasulullah!”

Baginda menjelaskan: Syirik kepada Allah, derhaka kepada ibubapa (perawi menerangkan, bahawa baginda ketika itu duduk sambil bersandar, lalu menyambung) dan sumpah yang palsu.[1]”

Selain itu saya juga bersetuju dengan tulisan saudara LanH dalam harakahdaily.net atas artikel yang bertajuk : Berbanggakah anda menyambut Hari Bapa?

Bukanlah bermaksud saya ini penyokong pas atau pun umno. Apa yang benar telah pun jelas. Maka terpulanglah kepada anda untuk menyambut hari-hari ini atau pun tidak. Bak kata nabil pelawak .. artis Malaysia yang popular tahun 2009.. LU PIKIR LA SENDIRI.

Berkenaan dengan Bapa.. saya teringat satu lagu yang pernah saya di dengar semasa menuntut di Maahad Muar zaman sekolah awal tahun 90 an.
