There is no uncertainty about this, as we have primary historical references that prove this intent.<\/p>\n<p>Prophet Muhammad ordered us not to celebrate other nation&#8217;s feasts or holi days<\/p>\n<p>This the holy spirit of Thanksgiving Day. &#8230;That all may offer up, in one grand melody, that glorious hymn to the Creator, \u201cGlory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good-will towards men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Godey&#8217;s Lady&#8217;s Book 1872<\/p>\n<p>History says:<\/p>\n<p>By the 6th century, the rulership of Rome had spread to England and there, the old Roman festival of Cerelia became known as the Harvest Home Festival and later Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving. The Church of England adopted this festival as a religious gathering but the festival was celebrated by both Christians and non-Christians; just like it is today. Over the next 1000 years, the Church of England went through many political battles with Rome over political and religious issues; causing certain groups within the church to split and travel to the Americas in search of gaining power, wealth and religious freedom there.<\/p>\n<p>This war between the Puritans (and their allies from the Wampanoag tribe) and the so-called Indians became known as the Pequot War, and lasted from 1636-1638. However, the European armies prevailed and many Indians lost their lives in horrific fashion. In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, the Puritan colonist raided the Indian Villages and burned over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe alive. The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, declared \u201cA Day Of Thanksgiving\u201d to be celebrated in honor of killing the native Indians of the land. In his own words, Governor John Winthrop\u2019s proclaimed: \u201cThis day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After their victory over the so-called Indians, the colonist began to attack other villages; seizing their land, capturing strong young Natives for slaves and killing the rest. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered. Boats loaded with as many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England to other places. Following a very successful raid against the Pequot tribe in Stamford, Connecticut, the white churches announced a second day of \u201cThanksgiving\u201d to give thanks to their God and celebrated victory over whom they called, the heathen savages. During the feasting, they played soccer with the chopped off heads of the natives and kicked them through the streets like soccer balls.<\/p>\n<p>As other English and Dutch colonizers migrated to the US and settled in other Indian tribal territories, they also raided and murdered various indian tribes that were living their regions. These tribes included the: Lenape, Esopus, Tuscarora, Yamasee, Muscogee, Cherokee, Catawba, Apalachee, Apalachicola, Coyaha, Shawnee, Congaree, Waxhaw, Pedee, Cape Fear, Cheraw, Pays d\u2019en haut, Mingo, and many other tribes. Each of the tribes went to war against their colonizers and many of their members were murdered; presumably followed by a thanksgiving feast in honor of the Europeans victory over the natives.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cfReference:https:\/\/www.truthovertradition.com\/pagan-roots-of-thanksgi\u2026\/<br \/>\n&#x25aa;\ufe0e&#x25aa;\ufe0e&#x25aa;\ufe0e<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f5e3;&#x1f449;&#x1f3fc;Conclusion:<\/p>\n<p>Stop celebrating this holiday feast as it represents the European\u2019s murder of the indigenous people of the American land and it is actually rooted in paganism.<\/p>\n<p>And it is my hope that by you reading this article that you will be challenged to withdraw your participation from this pagan genocidal celebration as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f331;Al Imam Addahabi said on this Ayah<\/p>\n<p>(5:51) O you who believe!
