April fool
Dear beloved brothers: a lot of people, newspapers and magazines used to lie and spread rumors in the first of April under the name of April fool, they mean nothing but laughter and kidding, and anyone who believes these lies becomes the victim of April fool..........
What is the story of April fool?
There are a lot of stories the most famous of which is that this habit began in France on 1564 AD when they changed the beginning of the new year from the first of April to the first of January, so anyone who was refusing the new calendar and went on the old calendar, they were lying on him in the first of April and after he had believed them, they were mocking at him.
After that it became an annual tradition for them.
Important note: this ugly tradition was transmitted to some Muslims........ Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.
Dear brothers: this bad habit caused a lot of calamities to one's neighbors, brothers, families.....etc, it also caused a lot of material and moral loses. The following are some examples for its probable bad results:
1- A person may be told that he was dismissed of his job, his house was burnt or his family made an accident, and anyone of these bad news is enough to cause paralysis, clot or the like diseases for that person.
2- A man may divorce or kill his wife if someone falsely told that his wife has unlawful relation with another man.
3- If a man was told that his father, son, wife or one of his beloved persons died, he might die because of that shock.
What is the jurisprudential ruling for lying in Islam?
Lying is one of the biggest vices, a door for all evils and leads to destructions in this life and in the hereafter, so it is prohibited in Islam although some people try to improve its malicious reality by changing its name to kidding, courtesy, diplomacy, cleverness or other names.
Dear beloved brothers: the religion of Islam came to perfect the noble morality, so it ordered with the virtues and prohibited all vices. Islam didn't fight and warn against anything like it did with lying and showed its bad consequences in this life and in the hereafter. The Almighty Allah says “Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.” [Ghafir 40:38]
