Another name for sick and perverted entertainment is 'April Fools'. No entertainment is possible without lies and deception. Because the main point of April Fool's celebration is to 'trick and fool people'. Lies and deceit play a major role in this work.

Around the world, April 1st of the English year is celebrated as 'April Fool's Day' as 'People's Fool's Day' for joy and fun. On this day, they fool each other and make fools of each other.

This 'April flower' culture or culture prevalent in the society is known as a sick and ugly culture devoid of conscience in Islam. On the other hand, if someone celebrates 'April Fools' in Spain as the massacre of Muslims, it would be the best cruel culture ever.

In the light of Islam, three major crimes are committed in the celebration of the 'April Fool' culture. Sins that are the main ingredients of April Fools celebration. They are-

> Lying

A major component of the 'April Fools' celebration is lying. There is no way to celebrate April Fools without lies. This lie is the mother of all sins. Lying is an abominable crime not only in Islam but in all religions and civilizations of the world.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam declared in a hadith about lying:

"You will survive the lies. Because this lie leads people to hell.' (Bukhari)

In another hadith,

"When a person repeatedly tells lies, at some point that person's name is recorded with Allah as a liar."

In another hadith, the beloved Prophet said-

"Due to indulging in this lie, at one time not only the words and actions of a person, but the foundation of lies is created in his heart. He can imagine nothing but lies. A good deed cannot enter the heart of such a person by the space of a needle.'

This is why Allah says about liars:

'God's curse and curse on the liar.'

So it is not possible to celebrate the event (April Fools) without lying. How can a conscious believing Muslim lie to his friends over and over again during April Fool's celebrations, which is absolutely not desirable for a believing Muslim.

Others say that we don't really 'lie', but just make 'false statements' on April Fools' Day for fun. In this context, the beloved Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:

"Destruction is inevitable for the person who tells lies among people for mischief or fun.(Abu Dawud) Priyanbi mentioned the inevitable destruction three times for insistence.

In another hadith, the beloved Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, 'I am taking responsibility for obtaining from Allah a palace in the center of Paradise for that person who does not tell a lie even out of mischief or fun.'

So in the light of the hadith it is proved that Islam does not in any way support lying to a believing Muslim. Be it intentional or mischievous.

> Cheating or deceiving

Celebrating April Fool's Day involves lying and deceiving one another, which is highly abhorred and reprehensible in Islam. In the hadith, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:

"He who commits adultery with anyone cannot be my ummah." (Muslim)

On the other hand, the person who cheats or cheats on April Fool's celebration, may not get pleasure from this behavior and may suffer. If this deception causes suffering to others, it becomes another wrongdoing or crime.

> Imitation of Islam haters

Following and imitating a foreign culture is a grave crime in Islam. If it is a joyous festival celebrated by falsehood, trickery or deception like April Fools, it is not acceptable to observe it in any way.

> The history of 'April flower' in the eyes of Islam

Caliph Walid ordered the then general to campaign in Spain in 711 AD. In Spain, there was torture, social discrimination and lawlessness in the name of religion by the extreme tyrant King Roderick. Many became Muslims under the circumstances that arose. Many also invited the Muslims to get rid of the tyranny of the king.

It is said that the tyrant King Roderick, enraged by the molestation of 'Florida', King Ferdinand Julian of the island of Ceuta, invited the Muslim general Julian to conquer Spain. Caliph Walid appointed Hazrat Tariq Bin Ziyad Rahmatullahi Alaihi Una for the conquest of Spain and provided only seven thousand soldiers. Hazrat Tariq bin Ziyad Rahmatullahi Alaihi was shocked to imagine that it was difficult to accomplish such a great task with so few soldiers. He kept crying and praying in the court of Almighty Allah.

One day in the middle of the night in a dream, he received the visitation of Sayyidul Mursalin, Imamul Mursalin, Noor Mujassam Huzoor Pak Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Rahmatulil Alamin Huzoor Pak sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he reassured him and said, 'O Ziyad! you move on Don't worry, you will be successful.'

Seeing this auspicious dream, Hazrat Tariq bin Ziyad Rahmatullahi Alaihi proceeded with great enthusiasm. On reaching Spain he ordered all his ships to be burned. He then addressed the soldiers in a particularly rousing and fiery speech.

He said in the speech, 'O Muslims! You have no other way to go now. Because all the ships were burned. Therefore, by relying on Almighty Allah, you must win, Insha'Allah. The Muslim soldiers were inspired by his faith-filled and passionate speech and won. The tyrant Roderick was miserably defeated and drowned in the river. The glorious Hazrat Tariq bin Ziyad Rahmatullahi Alaihi conquered Sidonia, Egisa, Carmona.

The Muslim army was divided into four divisions and sent towards Malaga, Granada and Toledo, and Muslim rule was established in many parts of the Gothic kingdom. Then in 712 AD a large Muslim army arrived in Spain and occupied Sidonia, Seville, Merida, Talavera. Hazrat Tariq bin Ziyad Rahmatullahi Alaihi, along with the combined forces, successively conquered Galicia, Leon, Asturias, Zaragoza, Aragon, Fallonia, Barcelona and advanced to the north of the Pyrenees. Between 712 AD and 714 AD, almost the entire territory of Spain occupied by the tyrannical Christian king came under the mild banner of Islam, the religion of peace.

After a few centuries, Muslim rule continued in Spain, but on the one hand, the rulers became intoxicated with un-Islamic, i.e. anti-Shariat practices. On the other hand, hypocrites and religious traders also rise up. Around 1470 AD, this opportunity was taken to the extreme by the tyrannical Christian ruler Ferdinand and Isabella. They also managed to insert their Christian spies into the positions of imams, muezzins, madrasa masters in various mosques and madrasas. At the same time, they are able to touch the ulama's. They all create public opinion in favor of lax adherence to Islamic ideals. It promotes drinking, playing and listening to music, promiscuity and illicit female relations as blameless. As a result, Muslims lose their faith.

The ulama also preach that Christians are not enemies of Muslims. Dhurandhar, Jalim and Satt Ferdinand couple spread such a conspiracy network and finally snatched Spain from the Muslims in stages. They first fell the fort of Al Hamra. Then asked to hand over Granada. But because of the deception of the misguided, faithless, confused Muslims, the hypocrites and the ulama, the country was easily handed over to them.

In this situation, the destitute Muslim soldiers were asked to disarm under the terms of the treaty. But the sharp-witted Muslim commander of that time understood the death condition of this treaty and warned the allied troops and people in a glowing speech of dire future consequences for not being bound by the terms of the treaty. But fearing his inevitable fall, the Muslims did not give any importance to his important speech. He, therefore, leaving the city on horseback through the Elavira arcade, without seeing any other way, was intercepted by ten Christian horsemen riding camels, and in fighting killed some of them and was himself mortally wounded. Finally Chenil fell into the river and drank the eternal peace.

Then the impostor King Ferdinand issued an order declaring the mosques safe. The order also said that those who take refuge in the mosque will be safe. Many Spanish Muslims took refuge in mosques in good faith. Cruel Christian enemies locked the mosques, doused them with gasoline and burned the remaining Spanish Muslims. And outside the tyrannical Christians cheerfully joked in unison! Ridarsh!! (Flowers, flowers) burst into laughter and shouts.

The day was April 1, 1492 AD. To this day, deceitful Christians celebrate 'April Fools' as a day of deception or deception to commemorate their integrity. While this day is auspicious for Christians, it is unspeakably painful for Muslims. Because a civilization built by the hands of the Muslims was completely overthrown by the cruel deception of the barbaric barbaric oppressor Christians and washed away in the fresh blood of millions of Muslims. This is the brutal history of April Fool's Day.

Finally, celebrating April Fools is nothing but a disgrace for Muslims. Therefore, believing Muslims should refrain from this and be careful that no Muslim's child should cheat on this dayAnd in 1492, Queen Isabella fooled the Muslims with extreme deception and announced that if they wanted to live, they would be given alms if they gathered at the Jama Masjid in Cordova. After this, thousands of scholars, common Muslims, women and children, old people and innocent citizens gathered in the mosque, they were set on fire and killed demonically.

In the same way, through deception, the ship was set on fire and killed. The historical commemoration day of this joyous demonization of the Christian world or the anti-Muslim Christian king and queen is the 'April Fool' of Western culture. They wanted to wipe out the name of Muslims from the world. There is no such plot to make the world Muslim-free which they have not done and are not doing. Muslims can not celebrate this April Fool's day of killing Muslims. The world Muslim Ummah should mourn on this day.

It should be noted that on this day of Muslim history, many children of Muslims have been deceived by Jews by celebrating April Fool's Day without realizing it. It is the responsibility of parents and teachers to prevent them from this.

May Allah Ta'ala grant the Muslim Ummah Tawfiq to refrain from the foreign hateful lies and deception culture of April Fools. Amen.
