IL CAPO Posted March 14, 2004 A moslem brother forwarded me this message to me & i thought to share with you. Asalamu Alaikum 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 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 faith of theMuslims 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 brothers,sisters,friends and kids, 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. i think its a good time we know about this and please let us share it with our bro's & sis's u can copy and forward this to all moslems. Nb:if there is anyone out there who knows about this fools day please share with us. GOD BLESS YOU ALL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OG_Girl Posted March 14, 2004 Accually I am just reading History of Moslims in Andalucia ,they ruled over 800 years and they were greatest kingdom in Europe, but what made my eyes tear was how last king broke his heart and destroyed his kingdom from his own mom who was full of hate from any thing moslom or Islam. By the way my history book says was 2nd of January 1492 and they still celebrate that so called "victory" every year in Andalucia. thanx somalsijui for information.
