Since Islam was liberated in the 8th century AD by Commander Tariq bin Ziyad, Spain has gradually grown into a prosperous country. Islamic forces not only stopped in Spain, but continued to liberate in neighboring countries to France. Southern France can easily be freed. The city of Carcassone, Nimes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Poitou, Tours and so on fell. Although very strong, Islamic forces still tolerate the Goth and Navaro tribes in the western part of the mountains.
Islam has illuminated Spain. Because the attitude of the Islamic rulers was so kind and humble, many Spaniards who later sincerely and sincerely embraced Islam. Spanish Muslims are not only Muslim, but they truly practice Islamic life. They not only read the Qur'an, but also behave according to the Qur'an. They always say "no" to music, beer, promiscuity, and everything that is forbidden by Islam. This peaceful situation lasted for almost six centuries.
The History of "April Fool"
During those six centuries, the infidels who still exist around Spain tirelessly continued to try to rid Islam of Spain, but always failed. A number of spies were sent to study the weaknesses of Muslims in Spain. Finally, the spy found a way to conquer Islam in Spain, which must first weaken their faith first by attacking thought and culture.
So start secretly they send alcohol and cigarettes for free into the territory of Spain. Music is played to persuade young people to prefer singing and dancing rather than reading the Qur'an. They also sent a number of fake clerics whose work blew divisions within the bodies of Spanish Muslims. Over time this effort bore fruit.
Finally, Spain fell and could be controlled by the Crusaders. The attack by the Crusaders was really carried out cruelly without knowing humanity. Not only Islamic forces were slaughtered, but also civilians, women, small children, old people, all killed cruelly.
One by one the regions in Spain fell. Granada was the last to be conquered. The Muslim population in Spain (also called the Moors) was forced to take shelter in the house to save themselves. Christian soldiers continued to pursue them.
When the streets were quiet, leaving only thousands of corpses lying in a pool of blood, the Crusaders learned that many Granada Muslims were still hiding in homes. Loud the Crusaders shouted the announcement, that the Muslims of Granada could get out of the house safely and were allowed to sail out of Spain with their needs.
"We have prepared ships that will take you out of Spain at the port. We guarantee your safety if you want to get out of Spain, after this we will no longer give guarantees! ” Thus persuaded the Crusaders.
Muslims are still suspicious of this offer. Some of the Muslims are allowed to see the passenger ships that have been prepared at the port. After really seeing a ship that has been prepared, then they immediately prepare to leave Granada together to the ships. They were preparing to sail.
The next day, thousands of Granada's Muslim residents came out of their homes, carrying all their necessities along the way to the harbor. Some Muslims who did not believe the Crusaders survived and continued to hide in their homes. After thousands of Spanish Muslims gathered at the port, the Crusaders quickly searched the houses that the inhabitants had left. Tongues of fire were seen lapping up the sky when the Crusaders burned the houses together with the Muslims who still survived in them.
While thousands of Muslims detained at the port could only be stunned, when the Crusaders also burned ships said to be carrying them out of Spain. The ships quickly sank. Thousands of Muslims cannot do anything because they are totally unarmed. They also consist mostly of women and children who are still small. Meanwhile, the Crusaders had surrounded them with drawn swords.
With a shout from the leader, thousands of Crusaders immediately slaughtered and finished off the Muslims of Spain without feeling of mercy. Crying and takbir blaring. With a ferocious Crusaders continued to kill civilians who were completely helpless.
All Spanish Muslims in the harbor were cruelly killed. Blood welled everywhere. The blue sea has turned blackish red. This tragedy coincides with April 1. This is then commemorated by the Christian world every April 1 as April Fool's Day (The April Fool's Day).
For Muslims, April Fool is certainly a very sad tragedy. The day thousands of brothers and sisters in the faith were "slaughtered" and massacred by the Crusaders in Granada, Spain. Therefore, it is very inappropriate if there are Muslims who join in celebrating this tradition. Because, by participating in celebrating April Fool's Day, the Muslims actually rejoiced and laughed at the tragedy. Whoever is a Muslim who celebrates April Fools, is actually celebrating the anniversary of the massacre of thousands of his brothers in Granada, Spain, a few centuries ago.
"Surely the disbelievers are plotting evil deeds in the best way." [Surah Ath Thaariq 86: 15]
"And I made a plan (too) with the truth." [Surah Ath Thaariq 86: 16]
"Therefore give the unbelievers tough, that is, give them respite for a while." [Surah Ath Thaariq 86: 17]
April Fools' Day, a day where you can cheat others
April Fools are days when "they" may deceive others as a joke. Brother, every time before April 1, usually many of us will be so busy and carried away with Western culture. Many are preparing to celebrate by making big plans to deceive other people / closest friends / relatives.
O Muslims, be careful of this culture. Avoid ourselves from doing wrong, especially April Fool is not Islamic culture.
But do you know how many of us do not know the harsh reality of history that befell the Spanish Muslims behind the April Fools celebration? The tragedy of the slaughter of Spanish Muslims.
"The Jews and Christians will not be happy with you until you follow their religion. Say: 'Verily Allah's instructions are (true) instructions'. And truly if you follow their will after knowledge comes to you, then God will no longer be a protector and a helper to you. " (QS Albaqarah 2: 120)
In a history it was stated, that the Jews of Medina and the Najran Nashara hoped that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam prayed facing their qibla. When Allah Subhanahu wata'ala turned the Qibla to the Kaaba, they objected. They conspired and tried to make the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam approve the qibla in accordance with their religion. Then the above verse (Q. 2: 120) goes down which explains that the Jews and the people of Nashara will not be happy with the Prophet Muhammad, even if his wish is granted. (Narrated by Tsa'labi sourced from Ibn Abbas)
As said by Allah Subhanahu wata'ala, for all time, they will never lose their enemies of Islam to always destroy Islam and extinguish the light of Allah Subhanahu wata'ala. Various ways they will do, including the history of the slaughter of Spanish Muslims also April 1 developed into an April Fool's celebration.
Sadly, ignorant Muslims also commemorate April Fool's Day. Without realizing, they actually celebrated the anniversary of the mass murder of their own Muslim brothers.
O Muslims, be careful of this culture. Avoid ourselves from doing wrong. Remind our fellow Muslims. Remember that April 1 was the day of the massacre of the Spanish Muslims. And the important thing is, in the Koran & Hadith there are no orders which can deceive others as a joke.
May Allah always open the door to repentance for us. Amiiin ..
