APRIL FOOL & Islam ensures universal peace

SAY NO TO APRIL FOOL DAY..

Islam is a religion of truthfulness, which teaches human beings to be truthful and honest in all walks of life.  It prohibits deception and hurting others.  Lying and fabrication leads to innumerable sins which drag one down in to hell.  To become a perfectly-mannered person it is necessary to refrain from lying.

 

April fool is nothing but a compendium of many sins and evils like lying, cheating, hurting others, etc.  For this reason, the Shariah disallows it.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has prohibited one from lying:

 

Translation of Hadith:  You refrain from lying and deception as it leads to disobedience and sin and human beings lie and search for opportunities to lie, to the point that he (or she) is written down as a liar with Allah Ta'ala.

 

(Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 2, Pg No: 681, Jame' Tirmidhi Vol. 2, Pg No: 18)

 

Lying is a great sin, whether in solemnity or in fun.  There are severe warnings for those lie for fun and joke.  There is a Hadith in Sunan Abu Dawood:

 

Translation of Hadith:  Destruction and ruin is for that person who resorts to lying to make people laugh. There is ruin for him, there is ruin for him! Telling one's brother something which he considers as true although it is totally false is a great dishonesty.

 

(Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 2, Pg No: 681)

 

There is a Hadith in At Targhib Wat Tarhib:

 

Translation of Hadith:  Hadhrat Sufyan bin Usaid al Hadhrami (May Allah Ta'ala be well pleased with him) narrates:  I heard the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) say: It is a huge deception that you tell your brother something to the point that he believes you although you are lying to him.

 

In April Fool, lying and hurting others is present, even though for some time.  Islam has prohibited lying and deception.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

 

Translation of Hadith:  Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, he is not to abandon him without help nor humiliate him.

 

(Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Zujajatul Masabeeh, Vol. 4, Pg No: 97).

 

There is a Hadith in Sunan Abu Dawood:

 

Translation of Hadith:  Whoever deceives is not from among us.

 

 

April Fool is in fact a custom of Christians.  Muslims should completely avoid the wrong beliefs and immoral and immodest customs of other religions.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has prohibited from imitation of other communities.  There is a Hadith in Mishkaat on the authority of Jame Tirmidhi:

 

Translation of Hadith:  It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Umar (May Allah Ta'ala be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Do not imitate/follow Jews and Christians. Those who follow other communities have been declared as members of that community.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

From the above mentioned Hadith, it is clear that jokes, etc in the name of April Fool is in fact deceiving, cheating and hurting people, which is a base and degenerate sin.  It is all the more bases because it is against the rights of the people (Huquq ul 'ibaad).  It should be remembered about the rights of the people that even after repentance (tauba), these sins are not forgiven until the concerned person forgives them.

Mujhe jannat say zyada masjid mein bethna acha lagta hai 

kyun ke jannat mein mera nafs khush hoga, 

jab ke masjid mein mera rabb khush hoga

.    Jab tum namaz na padho to matt socho ke waqt nahi mila, Balke ye socho ke tumse kaunsi galti hui ke, ALLAH ne tum ko apne saamne khada karna pasand nahi kiya.............

.    Har koi chahta hai k mujhey KAMIYABI mil jaye, lekin jab masjid sey din main 5 dafa awaz ati hai "HAYYA ALAL FALAH",, "Aao Kamiyabi ki Taraf".... to us taraf janey ki hum zehmat nahi kertey... afsos k jis cheez ko wo sari zindagi har jagah talash kar k bhi hasil nahi ker saka, wo to khud usey apney paas bula rahi hai .......

*Virtues of reciting 'Surah al-Kahf' on Fridays*- {Jumu'ah-Reminder}

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.     Virtues of reciting Surah al-Kahf   We are encouraged to recite/read Surah Kahf on Fridays. This is something proven from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). There are saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning the virtues of reciting Surah al-Kahf during the day or night of Jumu'ah (Friday).    Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him)said:- "Whoever reads Surah al-Kahf on the night of Jumu'ah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka'bah)." Source:-(Narrated by al-Daarimi# 3407. This hadeeth was classed as Saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6471) *** "Whoever reads Surah Al-Kahf on the day of Jumu'ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next."   (Narrated by al-Haakim, 2/399; al-Bayhaqi, 3/249. It was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami', 6470)   Note:-The surah may be read during the night or the day of Jumu'ah. The night of Jumu'ah starts from sunset on Thursday, and the day of Jumu'ah ends at sunset. Therefore the time for reading this surah extends from sunset on Thursday to sunset on Friday.         My 'Salaams' To You All..                          Y a s m i n.                                 "Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah"      ' Son of Adam!

Last to Enter Paradise-A Man who will Walk Upon the Sirât *[SUPERB]*

"Bismillah Hir Rehman Nir Raheem "    'Assalaamu Alaykum Warahmatulla hee Wa Barakaatuhu '.         The Last to Enter Paradise will be a Man.....Who.....      Ibn Mas'ûd (radiyallaahu 'anhu) reported that :-    The Messenger of Allâh (Salallâhu 'alayhi Wasallam) said:-   The last to enter Paradise will be a man who will walk upon the Sirât (bridge over the hellfire) and he will tread once, stumble once and be scorched by the fire once.    After he passes beyond it, he will turn to face it, and say:-    'Blessed be He Who has saved me from you. Verily, Allâh  [Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala] has given me something that He has not given anyone from the earlier and later generations.'    Whereupon, a tree will be raised aloft for him, and he will say:-    'O my Lord! Bring me to this tree so that I may seek shelter in its shade and drink from its water.    Allâh [Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala] will then say (while having more knowledge of His slave): O son of Âdam! Perhaps if I grant you thus, you would ask Me for other than it?   The man will then say:-    No, O my Lord. And he will vow to Him that he would not ask Him for other than it. His Lord will then pardon him because he witnesses that which he has no patience for. So He will bring him to the tree and he will shelter in its shade and drink from its water.   Afterward, another tree will be raised aloft for him, which is first, amore beautiful than the nd he will say:-    'O my Lord! Bring me to this (tree) so that I may drink from its water and seek shelter in its shade.  I shall not ask You for anything else!'    Allâh  [Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala] will then say (while having more knowledge of His slave): 'O son of Âdam! Did you not vow to Me that You would not ask Me for other than it? Perhaps if I brought you to this (tree), you will ask Me for other than it?    So the man will vow to Him that he would not ask Him for other than it.  And His Lord will pardon him because he witnesses that which he has no patience for. Thus, He will bring him to it and he will shelter in its shade and drink from its water.   Afterward, a third tree, more beautiful and superior to the first two, will be raised aloft for him at the gate of Paradise.    The man will then say:-    "O my Lord! Bring me to this tree so that I may seek shelter in its shade and drink from its water. I will not ask You for other than it."   Allâh  [Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala] will then say (while having more knowledge of His slave):-   " O son of Âdam! Did you not vow to Me that you would not ask Me for other than it?   The man will say: Yes, O my Lord! But bring me to this tree, and I will not ask You for other than it.   And His Lord will pardon him because he witnesses that which he has no patience for. Thus, He will bring him to it, and whenas He brings him to it, he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise.   Thus, the man will say:-    'O my Lord! Enter me into Paradise'   Allâh  [Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala] will say (while having more knowledge of His slave):-    'O son of Âdam! What is it that will please you Will it please you if I grant unto you the worth of the whole world and its likes with it?'   The man will then say:-    'O my Lord! Are You mocking me while You are the Lord of the Worlds?'    Allâh [Subhaanahu Wa Ta'aala] will then say:-    I am not mocking you;   rather I have the Power to do whatever I Will.         SOURCE:- [Related by Musnad Ahmad and Sahîh Muslim]   Shaykh al-Albânî (rahîmahullâh) declared it Sahîh in Sahîh Jami' as-Saghîr 1/63, no. 4 Filed under: Saheeh Jami' as-Sagheer, Shaykh al-Albaani, Translation.    My "Salaams" To You All.                            Y a s m i n.                     "All that is on earth will Perish.
