FIRST APRIL - A DISHONEST TRADITION!

1st April - a day when people lie, play jokes and mock in the name of entertainment. This ugly practice of lying and deceiving,which is considered to be merely a
humor, is known to have caused great harm to many...! 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! 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. True belief in Allah and the Day of
Judgment implies that the person is truthful in his speech - if he truly believes
that Allah Hears and Sees everything he does, and a Day will come when he will 
be held accountable for his actions, then he will not lie... 

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said,"Let he, who truly 
believes in Allah and the Last Day speak good or be silent."[Saheeh al-Bukhari]
