By Colt45

April 1 is called FOOL'S day after Steve April. He was born on 1st April 1579 in Christchurch.

Son of the owner of a textile chain Brian and Co. Fabrics, he always had a passion to try out various innovative things in life.

He did 105 businesses in his life time. He married an old woman at the age of 22. Due to his adventure in business, He even lost the property earned by his dad and by 1629; he was bankrupt and was blacklisted by all financial agencies then.

He was an epitome of foolishness and people started to call him as master of fools. He also used to read all sorts of fake stories like you did just now.

HAPPY APRIL FOOL......... suckers, I love you ALL ;-)

The Europeans call “April Fool” le poisson d’avril (lit. “April fish”). The reason for this is that the sun moves from the zodiacal house of Pisces to the next house, or because the word Poisson, which means fish, is a distortion of the word passion, which means suffering, “so it is a symbol of the suffering endured by Jesus (peace be upon him), according to the claims of the Christians, and they claim that this happened in the first week of April.

The first mention of April Fool in the English language was in a magazine known as Dreck Magazine. On the second day of April in 1698 CE, this magazine mentioned that a number of people were invited to come and watch the washing of black people in the Tower of London on the morning of the first day of April.

We are sure that lying did not exist during the first and best generations of Islam. It did not come from the Muslims, but rather from their enemies. But today we ourselves are becoming the enemies of truth and the enemies of 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.

This is the law of Allah in which is wisdom and care for people’s circumstances.

And Allah is the Haqq Truth and the Source of Strength

...Life would become Dull if there were no such Difficulties...
