April Fools

Image result for April Fools


In some foreign countries – kafir (non-Muslim) countries – there is the well-known custom of April Fools, which happens on the first day of April. Some Muslims are imitating them in this, thinking that it is permissible to tell lies on this day… what is your opinion on this belief and on this custom?

Praise be to Allah
Lying is not permissible at all, at any time. And it is not permissible to imitate the kuffar (non-Muslims) and to be like them, on this day or on any other, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” 

And Allah knows best.

Muslim Woman Uses Abaya to Save Burning Man’s Life

A Muslim woman used an Islamic robe to save a burning man’s life when he caught fire in a truck crash, by using it to put out the flames. “I was rattled to see the two burning trucks and got shocked when I saw a man on fire screaming for help,” Jawaher Saif Al Kumaiti, an Emirati Muslim woman, told Khaleej Times on Sunday, October 1. “I requested my friend – who was with me in my car – to give her abaya and asked her to stay inside.” Al Kumaiti was driving home after visiting a friend in hospital when she saw two trucks burst into flames and heard the victim shouting for someone to save him.
