What do you think is the origin of the Halloween party?

In general, Halloween is symbolized by a pumpkin shaped like a scary face. The character is called Jack O'Lantern. Jack O'Lantern is a spirit who wanders around carrying a lantern because he managed to trick the devil into not being put into hell.

Halloween originates from an ancient Celtic festival, namely the festival of Samhain, the Celtic people who lived around 2,000 years ago celebrated their new year on November 1. They believe that on the night before the new year, the boundaries between the world of the living and the dead become blurred, Halloween is every October 31 Therefore, on the night of October 31 they celebrate Samhain, when it is believed that the spirits of the dead return to the earth. In addition to causing trouble and destroying crops, the presence of otherworldly spirits was said to help Celtic priests predict the future.

To commemorate the event, Celtic priests would build large bonfires, where people would gather to burn plants and animals as offerings to their god. During the celebration, they wore costumes which usually consisted of animal heads and skins, to ward off ghosts and then the celebration ended, the Celts would relight the fireplace to protect them during the coming winter, which is the origin of the Halloween celebration to this day.

I am a follower of Islam, because Muslims do not celebrate Halloween. The reason is because it is not in accordance with my beliefs, if I celebrate Halloween it is against the teachings of the religion I follow. Additionally, Halloween is not a day celebrated by Muslims.

Rasulullah SAW has mentioned two days that are glorified and worth celebrating, namely Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. "Indeed, Allah has replaced for you two days that are better than both: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr." [Issued by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, No. 11595, 13058, 13210].

However, as adherents of the Islamic faith, we are taught to be tolerant and respectful of adherents of religions other than our own, in other words, when they celebrate Halloween, we choose to remain silent.

Have you ever had a paranormal experience with this date?

I have never experienced anything strange or mystical happening on Halloween, maybe the reason is because I never celebrate Halloween, Halloween for me is like an ordinary day, there are no strange and mystical events, but that doesn't mean I haven't experienced supernatural things, I have experienced strange events. Which is related to mystical things, but the incident was not on Halloween.

As a follower of Islam, I believe in the existence of evil spirits, or Satan, there are many invisible supernatural beings around us, every day we have to say "I seek refuge in God." From the temptation of the cursed devil." I think everyone has their own beliefs, for those who celebrate Halloween we quite respect the teachings of every religion other than mine,
