April Fool...WE ARE NOT FOOLS ANYMORE
mohammad
Most of us celebrate April fool day every year and fool each other. But
how many of us know the bitter facts hidden behind it. It was around a
thousand Years ago that Muslims ruled Spain. 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 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. From that year
onwards, every year they celebrate April fools day on the 1stof 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. The unbelievers fooled us, the Muslims. They have a reason to
celebrate April fool day, to keep up the spirit. Dear brothers and
sisters, when we join in this celebration, we do so out of ignorance.
If we had known about it, we would never have celebrated our own
downfall. So now, that we are aware of it, and now Let us promise that
we shall never celebrate this day. We should learn Our lesson from the
people of Spain, and shall try to become practicing Muslims, never to
let anybody weaken our faith. Please forward this message to as many
people you know. The more people you forward it to the greater will be
the reward from your Lord in this world and the hereafter. Please try
to do it before the 1st of April, to create awareness that
WE ARE NOT FOOLS ANYMORE.
