Celebrating April Fool Day Means Celebrating
Muslims As a Fool Day ! (History Of 1st April)

Aslamalikum Brothers and Sisters please
beaware of the Evil Day which will soon be
comming its haram to celebrate it please avoid it and do inform others too. The history of April fools 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 conqured 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 muslim where all of them will be allowed to 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 gaurds 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 pratice and please donot celebrate this day nor assist other to do it. Islamic View O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. Surah Ahzab 33:70 "Woe be on one who speaks and lies in order to make people laugh, woe be on him." Abu Dawood vol: 3, no. 4972

LAHORE: (Web Desk) – There are many myths and legends surrounding the April Fool’s Day and almost all of them look quite compelling, especially when compared to the myths circulating on the internet, and given currency to by some of the columnists in Pakistan, regarding the victimization of the Muslims by Christians on this day. There are several such stories circulating on the web but the top three will be discussed here.

Fall of Granada and Christian conspiracy:
Granada was one of the most glorious cities ruled by the Muslims in the past. It was the heart of Muslim Spain containing some of the most beautiful monuments built by the Umayyad caliphs of the region. The conspiracy theory regarding the fall of Granada says that the Muslims were unbeatable in Spain some 1000 years ago. When the Christians of Spain realized that they could not defeat the Muslims in a combat, they finally decided to introduce liquor and tobacco to the Muslims, according to this theory. When in 1492, the Muslim fort was finally taken by Ferdinand and Isabella; they celebrated the day as April Fool’s Day because according to this theory, Christians conspiracy had worked.

Fact:
To discredit this theory, the very fact that Muslims surrendered on 12th of January and not 1st of April is enough. However, there is more to it. Truth is that the Europeans were introduced to tobacco after quite some time and Muslims were introduced to liquor way before 1492.

Muslim massacre by Spaniards:
Another story says that when Muslims were being shipped back from Spain after the fall of Granada in 1492, they were given guarantees of security by the Spaniards. But when they were in the middle of the sea, all of them were massacred by the Spanish crew of the ship.

Fact:
The theory is again highly misleading as Muslims were not ordered to evacuate Spain until 1609.

Bahadur Shah Zafar presented with his son’s skull:
When the last king of Mughal dynasty Bahadur Shah II, or more commonly known as Bahadur Shah Zafar, was sacked by the East India Company in 1857 as a result of the mutiny in India, he was exiled to Burma, currently Myanmar. It is said that he was presented with his son’s skull as breakfast on April 1st and that it was an act of celebrating April Fool’s Day by Major Hodson.

Fact:
This theory also remains ill-founded. Although Bahadur Shah was presented with his son’s skull but that was in accordance with the Nowruz celebrations, a Persian festival that was regularly celebrated in Mughal India. Although the festival also starts on March 21 and this is quite possible that the skull arrived a few days late given the means of transport in those days, the fact remains that it was in accordance with Nowruz and not the April Fools’ Day.

The latest: Tipu Sultan s death
In a stream of conspiracy theories, the latest one has been coined by none other than the Punjab government s spokesperson Syed Zaeem Hussain Qadri who has said on Tuesday that Muslims should not celebrate April Fools Day because Tipu Sultan, the eighteenth century Muslim ruler of the Mysore kingdom, in Southern India, also embraced martyrdom on 1st of April.

Fact:
Although remedies as banal as facts cannot cure the disease that the conspiracy theorists suffer from, the sad fact is that this theory, too, is ill-founded. Sultan Fateh Ali Khan Tipu, or Tipu Sultan, actually embraced martyrdom on 4th of May, 1799.

Reality of April Fools Day:
According to most historians, April Fools’ Day started to be celebrated in the sixteenth century when the Pope declared 1st of January as the start of the New Year replacing 1st April, which was previously believed to be the first day of the year. There were some people who refused to celebrate the New Year on 1st of January and stuck with 1st of April. These were the people who were started to be called as April Fools by those who had abided by the Pope’s verdict and had started to celebrate the New Year on 1st of January.

However, there is nothing concrete.
