The history of April Fool’s Day is not totally clear. No exact date can be found pinpointing the first official celebration of the holiday. There are, however, many narrations regarding the reason the tradition is practiced., but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (New Year’s week) to January 1.
Now lets see what Islam says about this
Allah's Messenger Our Beloved Hazrat Mohmmad (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]
There are many Ahdis and verses of Holly Quran which stop us to lie I only include one Hadis here
Dear readers Know that Islam is the only religion, which is free from faults and innovations. Such an easy religion to follow is Islam.
We have seen how Islam forbids lying even in jest, and it forbids frightening a Muslim whether in seriousness or in jest, in words or in actions.
At the end i have only one request that please dont tell a lie at any rate and boycott all these unnecessary customs that are not belongs to our religion
May Allah keep us pure from such deceptions and avoid making us the “April Fool”. Ameen.
