Say NO to April Fool's Day

And here,we come to a month of April. Whenever it comes to this particular month, the distinct thing/topic that strikes up first and foremost is none other than April Fool's Day. I saw many tweets of my friends saying that they just got pranked by somebody or would want to fool their friends. As I scrolled down the Islamic facebook pages, statuses and posts about April Fool's Day came about. It was said that it is HARAM to celebrate or make do it.

Wanna know why? Have some time to read the justifications below.

The history of April fool's day 





It was around a thousand years ago (711 A.D) that Spain was ruled by Muslims. And the Muslim power in Spain was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed. The Christians of the west wished to wipe out Islam from all parts of the world and they did succeed to quite an extent. But when they tried to eliminate Islam in Spain and conquer it, they failed. They tried several times but never succeeded. The unbelievers then sent their spies in Spain to study the Muslims there and find out what was the power they possessed and they found that their power was TAQWA. The Muslims of Spain were not just Muslims but they were practicing Muslims. They not only read the Quran but also acted upon it. When the Christians found the power of the Muslims they started thinking of strategies to break this power. So they started sending alcohol and cigarettes to Spain free of cost. This technique of the west worked out and it started weakening the faith of the Muslims in particular the young generation of Spain. The result was that by 1492 A.D the Catholics of the west wiped out Islam and conquered the entire Spain bringing an end to the EIGHT HUNDRED LONG YEARS' RULE OF THE MUSLIMS in Spain. The last fort of the Muslims to fall, was Grenada (Gharnatah), which was on the 1st of April. 



After Spain was fully conquered by the christians the christian ruler wasnt just sastified with his victory he wanted something more so he Lied to the Muslim community that there is a special place for all Muslims where all of them will be allowed to pratice islam freely a very huge ship was prepared for muslims and a very large number of Muslims left for that place as mentioned by the christian ruler when the ship was in the middle of the sea there were explosions made by guards and they escaped through saftey boats,muslim were left on the big ship drowning many muslims got maytred in that false trick. 





From that year onwards, every year they celebrate April fools day on the 1st of April, celebrating the day, they made a fool of the Muslims. They did not make a fool of the Muslim army at Gharnatah only, but of the whole Muslim Ummah. We, the Muslims, were fooled by the unbelievers. Just avoid this evil practice and please do not celebrate this day nor assist other to do it. This is not a fake story this is reality but we should be ashamed of ourselves that today's generation doesnt care to learn about Islamic or world history dts would disadvantge of not learning history because u wont gone to know the thing you are practising today where it comes frm or even its halal or haram to practice or not.....

So, do you still want to Celebrate & Embrace April Fool's Day?
Make it a Nay.

Till we meet again. In 'Shaa Allah.
