...APRIL FOOL...

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.
The story goes like this...

It was around a thousand years ago 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 Islam. 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 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. They have a reason
to celebrate April fool day, to keep up the spirit.

Dear friends, 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....okay?
