The Cultural dominations of the west on the Muslims have enormously increased in the 21st century. Less educated Muslims think that without following the west, progress is not possible. They, therefore deem it essential to emulate western ideas and thoughts. One of them is “April Fool”. In order to celebrate April Fool a Muslim tells lies to another Muslims and enjoys it by cracking jokes in this way. Sometimes, there is a danger of losing human life.
The fact is that when the Christians conquered spain, they shed the blood of the Muslims. After getting tired of massive bloodshed, king Ferdinand announced that the lives and properties of the Muslims are not secure here. It has, therefore, been decided to inhabit a new Islamic country for the Muslims. All those Muslims who want to go to that country, the Govt. would send them by ships. A large number of the Muslims boarded the ship to go a new Islamic country.
Ferdinand’s men took the ship to the middle of the sea and made a hole in the ship by exploding with gunpowder. They escaped with the help of life boats. All of a sudden, the entire ship got drowned in the sea.
Christians would celebrated this incident with great pleasure and they applauded the strategy of King Ferdinand of moking the Muslims fool. That was 1st April. The western world celebrates April fool to commemorate this event. This is the reality of April Fool. Dr. Mohammed Sohail Ahmed Nadvi expressed these thoughts while addressing a gathering in a mosque in Sikh village yesterday. He told that the Muslims should refrain from celebrating April Fool. He also demanded the Govt. to ban such activities.
