April Fool - A dishonest Tradition [As-Sunnah]:
1st April - a day when people lie, play jokes
and mock in the name of entertainment. This
ugly practice of lying, which is considered to
be merely a humor, is known to have caused
great harm to many. Even trauma and deaths.
Still this dishonest tradition is not only
practiced among the common masses, but
also newspapers and magazines participate
in it by publishing false news and untrue
stories on the first day of April!
Much is said about the origin of this practice,
however what concerns the most to the
Muslims is that it is a tradition which directly
contradicts the teachings and morals of Islam.
Lying is a characteristic of hypocrisy and
Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam)
strictly forbade lying at all times. He (sallallahu
alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Let he who truly
believes in Allah and the Last Day speak good
or be silent.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee] Moreover,
he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) has specifically
cursed the person who lies to make people
laugh, he said: “Woe be on one who speaks
and lies in order to make people laugh, woe
be on him.” [Abu Dawood]
The above Ahaadeeth show the gravity of
participating in the false tradition of April
Fool, which the Western tradition appreciates
and encourages claiming that it brings joy
and amusement, whereas the Prophet
(sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) forbade lying and
deceiving even if the intention of the person
is to amuse people.
Abd al-Rahman Ibn Abi Laylaa said: “The
companions of the Messenger of Allah
(sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) told us that they
were traveling with the Messenger of Allah
(sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam). A man among
them fell asleep and some of them went and
took his arrows. When the man woke up, he
got alarmed (because his arrows were
missing) and the people laughed. The Prophet
(sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “What are
you laughing at?” They said, “Nothing, except
that we took the arrows and he got alarmed.”
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-
sallam) said: “It is not permissible for a
Muslim to frighten another Muslim.” [Abu
Dawood (5004) and Musnad Ahmad.
Authenticated by Shaikh al-Albanee in Saheeh
al-Jamee (7658)]
He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) described the
severe punishments for the liars and said: “I
saw (in a dream), two men came to me. They
said, 'The person, the one whose cheek you
saw being torn away (from the mouth to the
ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the
people would report those lies on his
authority till they spread all over the world. So
he will be punished like that till the Day of
Resurrection.'” [Saheeh al-Bukharee (vol. 8,
no: 118)]
May Allah protect us from indulging ourselves
in such dishonest activities and may He give
us the strength to withstand such practices
when they tend to infect our Muslim Society.
Aameen!
