April Fool Joke Is Haram. Muslims Should Stop It by Alennsar(f): 9:33pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
"Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and
lies." (Qur’an-40:28)
NO APRIL FOOL CELEBRATION FOR MUSLIMS. DO
NOT LIE AND CHEAT OTHERS
Don't be a fool by participating in April's fool. it
is based on deception and lies, both of which are
completely forbidden in Islam. The Prophet peace
be upon him informed us that whoever cheats us
is not a true Muslim, and whoever lies to make
people laugh is cursed.
Islamic viewpoint:
Our religion’s stance is crystal clear. We will
focus on the following points, which are sufficient
for you to stop having anything to do with this
day:
1. Lying – even as a joke:
It was narrated that Mu’aawiyah ibn Haydah
said: “I heard the Prophet SallAllahu Aliyhi
Wasallam say:
‘Woe to the one who tell lies to make the people
laugh, woe to him, woe to him.’”
2. Scaring others:
‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Laylaa said: the
companions of the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu
Aliyhi Wasallam told us that they were traveling
with the Messenger of Allah. 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 aliyhi
wasallam said, “What are you laughing at?” They
said, “Nothing, except that we took the arrows
and he got alarmed.” The Messenger of Allah
said: “It is not permissible for a Muslim to
frighten another Muslim.”
3. Promoting the habit of lying in our children:
This is not a trivial matter, rather the fuss made
over it is genuine. Why you ask? Because these
little things leave a deep and long lasting effect
on the minds of our children. They learn it is OK
to lie, cause pain and frighten others. Needless to
mention, our religion looks down upon all such
practices, whether done in jest or otherwise.
Allowing the children to play such pranks on one
hand, and advising them to be truthful, honest
and kind on the other would confuse them. Also,
it is essential to note that children emulate what
they see rather than what they hear. And we
don’t want them to grow up to be liars. So no
compromises here.
The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu Aliyhi Wasallam
said:
‘Whoever says to child, ‘Come here and take this,’
then does not give him something, this is counted
as a lie.’”
Bottom line:
So after knowing the Islamic stance and the
disasters that this fooling around can lead to,
either we love this day or hate it. Either we are a
part of it or we leave it. Maybe you’re one of
them who has been fooled your entire life into
believing that April Fools day is actually OK and
even fun. It’s not.
“O you who believe! Fear Allah SWT, and be with
those who are true (in words and deeds)”
To be honest, fooling someone just to have some
fun doesn't seem anything wrong apparently but
the consequences of it are severe. I personally
know so many incidents that brought harm to the
people physically and mentally because of
someone tried to prank over them. Wallahi it
never brings any form of goodness, and a believer
will always avoid these kinda acts. Remember, a
believer never Lies nor Deceives
it may be "cool"…but it’s a foolish and unislamic
practise of another fool!...
May Allah protect the Ummah from engaging in
this evil custom of April fool's day. |
